What do you mean by credential theft? Stealing the numbers on the card or a malicious person triggering the contactless payment?

I don't know if this is related. But I've been confused as to whether these recommendations are for package-specific configs, or for system-wide home directory configs (~/.npmrc fo…

Are we talking about `cargo build` here? Because my understanding is that if a lockfile is present and `Cargo.toml` hasn't changed since the lockfile was created then the build is …

They're extremely close! /ɪ/ literally sits next to /e/ on the vowel chart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel_diagram#/media/File%3AIP...

"Hey", /ˈheɪ/, has a dipthong /eɪ/, so é is precisely the first half of that dipthong. It may feel like it's between the “e” in “bet” and “ee” in “see”, but using the dipthong you …

Thanks. I can't see what you mean myself. If you could paste the URL when you click on one of those incorrect views, I'd really appreciate it. For instance, this one seems correct …

Oh, that sounds like an error on our part then. I'd really appreciate if you could paste the URL when one of those bad lines is rendered.

It's just a matter of storage costs. Even storing a single line of sight for every point on the planet is over 200GB!

The AEQD projection radiates from the anchor right? Is that what you mean by polar coordinates? This was my first foray into optimising projections so if you have any insight I'd l…

I don't know, but I really want to do it.

I see, thanks. So my thinking is that overly dark areas to the North are caused by _relatively_ low visibility. The heatmap is actually dynamically generated for every viewport. So…

Actualicé el website! Es mejor así?

Agreed, pedantry very much appreciated. Website updated!

Sure!

The thing about the observer height that I always try to remember is that features really close to the observer can make an exponential difference. Like imagine how simply putting …

That sounds really promising. I've made a Github issue to make sure we follow this up https://github.com/AllTheLines/viewview/issues/61

Could you post a link to a view that you think might not be right?

1) So you're expecting to click and see a line of sight that you've seen in real life? Is it just that each point only every records the _longest_, which not be the best or most no…

Do you think there's any way to automatically create these Google Earth links for each of the longest lines of sight on maps.alltheviews.world?

Oh wow, yes, very curious. I believe that is caused by the cleaning of the original NASA data by the creator of https://viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem3.html So whilst they improved th…

Wooah, both "antipoles", I've never thought of that. What a great idea. In theory yes, we have the data, but I haven't begun to consider the maths to figure that out.

244km! Oh wow, I never knew people did this kind of thing. Yeah this is exactly the sort of thing we want people to use the app for.

Do you mean like if you drew a line from the surface on one side of the planet, through the Earth's core, to the other side of the planet. What is the longest line that could do th…

Oye, fui a Colombia un par de veces! Y mi profesora Español era Colombiana. So you're saying a better title for the Colombian line of sight could be "Pico Lagos del Congo to Pico C…
