The Hyperloop Test Proves the Future Will Still Be Boring

Of course you have to get the information from somewhere the first time you learn something. What's the problem with that?

I'm selling my house and discovered that the options in Austria are either boring (just pictures) or expensive.

So I

- rented a Theta camera and took pictures of every room + outdoors

- made up a DSL to define a grid with connecting rooms

- used that to generate scenes for Pannellum (which I tweaked a bit)

- made some clickable svg maps (strangly this was not as easy as I thought)

- and put a bit of bootstrap over it

You can view the result here: http://kaufmeinhaus.at

Pannellum is great btw, see https://pannellum.org

Let me know if you are interested and I'll try to put the code on github.

Backslash must die 10 years ago

the vast majority of people [..] believe backslashes are the way to go

Not sure you got that right. I'm certain there are more people that use forward slashed in a browser (every OS+mobile) than people who type backslashes in Windows.

My mother has used Windows for years and doesn't even know where the backslash character is. She can type URLs though.

Backslash must die 10 years ago

Did you try it on Windows 10? If I try to open a file `i:/foo/bar/test.txt` I get `The file name is not valid` (from Notepad)

Backslash must die 10 years ago

You should say it 'works sometimes'.

I actually forgot where it works because

- if I try to open a file `i:/foo/bar/test.txt` I get `The file name is not valid` (from Notepad)

- if I try to open a folder `i:/foo/bar` I get `The folder name is not valid`

- if I try to `cd /foo/bar` I get `The system cannot find the path specified.`

This addresses unpublishing but what happens to (dubious/real) trademark claims under this new policy?

Would this keep kik in the registry instead of forcing the dev to give it up?

OT but our company firewall does this as well. You can't use https unless you install a internal root cert. Never understood how this can be legal.

I almost didn't make this because the RTM client isn't bad, it's just that looking like iOS 6 didn't help my motivation (a personal taste). I was still surprised that moving your tasks from one system to another required so much effort.
