I have the opposite frustration here, where I queue up some music videos on my TV and inevitably after 1-2 songs, I'm staring at static album covers when I know there's an awesome …

Plugging my old student project for GraphViz reference/examples: https://graphs.grevian.org/ I wouldn't mind changing it to use a js renderer, currently it's using the (deprecated!…

A while ago it was suggested to me to mentally translate "accident" to "collision" in context of cars hitting cyclists. Most collisions with cyclists are easily avoidable, and caus…
