I started and the paused a project of visually mapping every corruption case in my country, from small to big, from local to national. The premise is that people tend to forget corruption cases that drag over long period of time and generally can't judge the state of corruption.
Therefor the idea is to put all the corruption cases and their details on a map, with ability to search by party, money involved, companies involved, state of judiciary process and so on.

Just to add, the idea now is to switch to data wrapper that was featured the other day.

Started as a way for me to learn some Javascript and get an overview of execution metrics for myself. Found it easy enough to host with Netlify, so might as well make it public!

It generates commands to launch Windows Terminal in any layout. I use Windows Terminal every day and found writing the split-pane etc. commands difficult, so built this to make these commands easy to generate.

#525I am making a series of books on commutative algebra. The first one is available at https://www.ams.org/open-math-notes/omn-view-listing?listing...
There is a sequel on homological methods, which is not online, and I am currently trying to publish both. When I have time, I would like to write a third volume on homotopical methods (essentially all the stuff needed for André-Quillen cohomology and the cotangent complex).

What is the illegal part?

Ahh, sorry. Hadn't had enough coffee to spot the sarcasm. Indeed, dangerous games to play against people without scruples.
I, too, have wanted to undertake projects that would fight against corruption, but I guess I shouldn't have any attachment to my family or friends if I were to go ahead.

#527Hmm, I have a few now, but none of them are actually released. Most of them I use in my day job to make my life easier. - System to visualize code coverage/quality, to figure out where to focus improvement efforts, think mix of codecov/sonarqube, but better (in some ways) - A desktop client for Jira, so I can work offline and have instant responsiveness - Website for building resumes based on JSON, with export to wor…
I am particularly interested in the first two projects. Care to share a bit more information about them or some blog I can read about?

What did I just read?
I'm not qualified to say this, so this isn't a diagnosis, but the post strikes me as similar in tone to the postings of a paranoid schizophrenic who regularly used to post on a forum I visited. Completely convinced they're on the verge of uncovering something that will "change history" yet very difficult to follow the detail of what they're saying.
I don't believe or have claimed this will "change history".
Had in fact offered to let the whole matter slide if and only if two judges ruling on health insurance matters hand in their resignations, as I consider them a danger to the general public.

#530I launched https://thecitymapquiz.com some time ago and I really don't have any succeed critia for it. It was fun to built, playing around with rendering open street map data, and building the web part with phoenix liveview. I really don't have any plans to it going forward, and with a couple of small kids and a full-time job, I'll probably not have any time to spent on it if I actually had a plan. So in someway you…
Could you add two multi-player options?
1) participants guess in turns, every correct choice gets a point
2) participants guess competitively and first right choice gets a point. Wrong choices are shown to others, result in a point deduction, and the game continues until the right choice is made
