So I have decided to get rid of Google on my smartphone entirely, and to use free (libre) software as much as possible. These offer the usual Android features such as the Play Store, account management and synchronization and Google Maps. These are the apps I use (in addition to LineageOS’ stock apps):

F-Droid is an alternative to the Google Play Store which only hosts free (libre) software.

The system did not have a concept of quick animation to my recollection.My project took our 3D graphics primitives built in my assignments, and built around them a scripting language to describe the scene and move through it, or move the objects, rotate the objects, or scale the objects, or a combination of all of these. And Commodore 512KB RAM Expansion Unit (REU) for animation!Most of these animations are 60 frames total (1 to 4 seconds), where the code was run on a UNIX system, converted to line graphics, downloaded to the Commodore 128 and rendered. I wrote the Commdore 128 software to render the graphics, and swap in/out of the REU for animation.

If you have a good and easy to find SHA3 and Ed25519 implementation for your development environment (as the Go language has built-in here and here) you don’t need any other external dependencies to craft a validly signed cruzbit transaction. Whereas public key P paying public key K 2 cruzbits could very well look the same as another transaction in the future which involves the same keys for the same amount. But this all means cruzbit network nodes can “forget” about transactions older than the previous series for the purpose of processing new

Ever Gold [Projects] is pleased to present The Internet Archive’s 2019 Artists in Residency Exhibition, a show organized in collaboration with the Internet Archive as the culmination of the third year of this non-profit digital library’s visual arts residency program. During the exhibition, Jeffrey Alan Scudder will produce a new iteration of Radical Digital Painting, an ongoing performance project which often includes other artists. Recent exhibitions include drawings at 650mAh (Hove, 2018); INTENTIONS BASED ON A FUTURE WHICH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED at Naming Gallery (Oakland, CA, 2018); Radical Digital Painting at Johannes Vogt Gallery (New York, 2018); Imaginary Screenshots at Whitcher Projects (Los Angeles, 2017) drawinghomework.net Presents at February Gallery (Austin, 2017); New Dawn at Neumeister Bar-Am (Berlin, 2017); and VIDEO MIXER at Yale School of Art (New Haven, 2015).

Here’s another example:

Here’s an excerpt of the output from this script:

As you can see, awk prints out the first and third fields of the /etc/passwd file, which happen to be the username and uid fields respectively. In this script, the field separator is specified within the code itself (by setting the FS variable), while our previous example set FS by passing the -F”:” option to awk on the command line. Normally, awk executes each block of your script’s code once for each input line.

So, driven a desire to obtain the “unobtainable” and mostly by curiosity to see if it was possible, I set out to see if I could find public domain Krazy Kat Sunday comics in online newspaper archives. In short, I wrote some programs in Python that downloaded thumbnails from various newspaper archives, manually found about 100 Sunday comic strips from the thumbnails, used Microsoft’s Custom Vision service to train an image classifier to detect Krazy Kat comics in thumbnail images, used that classifier to find several hundred more thumbnails, then wrote some more code in Python to download high resolution images of all of the thumbnails that I found. After many hours of frustrating research, I was finally able to narrow determine that Krazy Kat Sunday comics are available from the following sources:

In the process of looking for Sunday comics, I was also able to find several newspapers in various archives that also have copies of the daily Krazy Kat comics.

A few days ago, I mentioned that (with the assistance of the National Archives) I had unearthed a bit of Cold War history previously unavailable to the public: the Code of Emergency Federal Regulations (CEFR), a secret set of official regulations that were to go into effect in the event of a Soviet nuclear attack on the United States. This first edition of the CEFR contains a prologue, titled “Explanation,” that explains why the document exists:

And it laid out a structure through which additional emergency regulations could be promulgated, in the event such became necessary:

It then set out 21 chapters, each reserved for regulations affecting a different Federal agency, starting with the President and working all the way down to the Railroad Retirement Board. Change No. 1, dated October 1, 1968, adds sets of regulations for two agencies not included in the original CEFR: the Office of Emergency Planning (OEP) and the General Services Administration (GSA).

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Spain and the U.S. has announced that they have discovered a new property of light—self-torque. A new property of light beams, the self-torque of light, which is associated to a temporal variation of the orbital angular momentum.

The researchers suggest that it should be possible to use their technique to modulate the orbital angular momentum of light in ways very similar to modulating frequencies in communications equipment.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

For years, Apple has openly combated green standards that would make products easier to repair and recycle, stating that they need “complete design flexibility” no matter the impact on the environment. Apple has the best designers and engineers in the world, and they are capable of maintaining Ive’s high design standards while crafting products that stand the test of time. Two of Rams’ other principles point to the things we most want to see happen in a post-Ive Apple: “Good design emphasises the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it,” and “Care and accuracy in the design process show respect towards the user.”
