Just downloaded 1.2 for testing, and the setup/splashscreen has a "Keyboard" select with "Adobe illustrator" option.

The feeling is understandable and it could be worrying, but since some years Nicolas seems to be focusing on Shiro games and game dev tooling (heaps, hide). The compiler is developed by the Haxe Foundation and the ecosystem by the community which is not that big but has quite a few talents.

Heaps has it's own API, but other Haxe frameworks[1][2] reimplement the flash API. Some tools[3][4] help to convert AS3 source code to Haxe, and the typing and compiler are helpful to identify issues. So depending on the size and dependencies, conversion can be easy once you get past the main language differences.

Indeed, Electron is very useful for any compile-to-js language, and benefit from js popularity, toolkits and frameworks for rich UI.

Writing in Haxe brings nice syntax, and some flexibility regarding target language/platform, and possible UI frameworks.

- ArmoryPaint[1] and most Haxe games don't rely on Electron for UI.

- HaxeUI[2] provide a nice list of components, rendered as composite or native on various backends[3] (html5, wxWidgets, experimental pdcurse..^^)

- MVCoconut[4] also allow to bind to various front-ends : Dom, React, React-native

There is always a degree of lock-in depending on the path you choose, but having a cross platform base for logic and glue is a nice feature.

thanks for your overview !

Does anyone knows a recapthca2-like service/software, that would help solve such tasks (OCR, object recognition..) on a custom provided dataset ?

It could provide an alternative to recaptcha, and a "Mechanical Turk"/crowdsourcing for universities, institutions or companies to help solve some of their repetitive tasks.

Had some success with this amateur setup to get a higher resolution image from multiple Nikon D90 photos :

- take multiple zoomed-in low DOF overlapping photos, with fixed settings, covering the artwork from a tripod, only rotating the camera

- stitch with Hugin[1] and export undistorted UHD photo

- split the it into tiles according to your viewer's format with ImageMagick

- view with a tile viewer. OpenSeaDragon[2] is smooth and well suited for UHD images, but any can be adapted/used, for example leaflet[3].

Would love to hear about other workflows !

The Bosch websites seems to use Micrio[4] for the UHD viewing and storytelling.

On debian with gnome, installing "maximus" package should hide title bar when maximized, works well here !

  So I've taken out my sperm production using the old heat methods. It works, I've checked.
Thanks for sharing your experiments, would love to know what heat method/protocol you used, and how you checked.

Thermal birth control looks like a good DIY and low-cost birth control method. DIY spermcount could help ease of adoption and autonomy.
