I wish I had more Jacub Janerka in my life :(

Aww, this brings back memories. :)

A few years back, myself and a friend of mine missed the trail that goes up to Kredarica, and walked the trail at the bottom of the picture, taking us to the Valentina Staniča mountain home with some steep climbs along the way. Getting back to Kredarica took something like three hours. We were exhausted, but the views, oh man, let me tell you…

Nice, and congrats! Could you show an example of original image and ASCII output, as I’m afk atm.

Lemmy (pun intended) answer my own question here: Yes, it’s relative hight along the river’s centerline: https://opentopography.org/blog/new-package-automates-river-relative-elevation-model-rem-generation

Please tell me more about “Relative Elevation Model”. Are those elevations in the river’s surroundings relative to the river’s water surface height? Or something else?

Honest question: “Without any authority who gets to enforce the rules?”. Everyone, as they see fit it seems. What makes “your” hierarchy better than “my” hierarchy?

Disagree. If FOSS were an anarchism what would be the point of FOSS lincences of which some are very long legal documents? Also corporations would just take your code, say its theirs and tell you to go fuck yourself.

Yes, I agree. And Creative Commons are a great example of peoples’ control over their work. My argument is that it wont be ‘the original artist’ who gets to interpret the licensing terms.

If I may take your example of border patrol abusing immigrants with your software. And I’m sorry for the trivial example beforehand.

Let’s say you put in licensing terms: “This software may not be used to endanger peoples lives and/or livelyhoods”. And software is used by both Border Patrol and the immigrants to protect/cross the border.

Both parties come before a judge, accusing the other party of misusing your software. Border patrol says the immigrants are endangering american people with crime etc. ,and the immigrants accuse the border patrol of violent beatings.

In whose favor would a judge decide?

P.S.: thanks for the link. I’m a huge Tom Waits fan, and had no idea about the voice-theft.

While we might not agree with immigration policy and power abuse, it’s hard to put moral limitations on who gets to use our software. While the example you gave is far from trivial.

The second we say someone can’t use our software for whatever reason, that’s the second the software is no longer truly free. It’s same with Open data.

If you set in writing that your software can be used by anyone, then you also take away the power of those in high places to interpret the licence in a discriminatory way.

That may be true, but there is (usually) also an upside. Any fixes and modifications must be shared back. Thank you copyleft licenses. Thank you GPL.

How do you connect i/o devices to it?

Whoa, uncanny. This gives me some real “Ljubljana vibes”. It’s probbably someplace in Austria tho, right? Going by the flag.

That’s quite an emoji you got there 🍆

Damn, how’d that get me :)

Uh, is there a kind soul that has a link to a mirror of any of the mentioned youtube videos that were taken down? I’d realy like to see what it looked like - talking to random NPCs on the streets ov GTA V.

Appointments were already mentioned, but what about holidays - the days most of us get off work? A simple solution wold be to write them next to the calendar, but it’s a bit less than an elegant solution.

Yes, you are right. It’s a lot like working in IT, with special data types and some processing.

In typical setting we basically separate the system in three layers: (1) data - file servers and databases, (2) services - Servers that read this data and offer API endpoints that programs can call, that return visualised data in form of images or individual features (see: WMS, WMTS, WFS…) and (3) User/presentation layer - the (web) applications that endusers access (think Google maps / Google Earth and similar type of apps)

On my typical work day I work on one or more of above “layers”. Be it data aquisition, server administration, debugging services, programming end user application, or simply helping our users understand how to use the data… being in IT though means that there also are a lot of nonse meetings involved :)
