I've wondered for a while now - is there any research on map routing algorithms that allow for significantly longer routes, which meet other criteria like "more peaceful" or "simpler" or "less pollution"?

The excellent #CycleStreets app (based on #OpenStreetMap data) allows for quiet/balanced/fast routes, but "quiet" isn't quite what I want.

For example part of my route from work to Euston could go via the canal around Regent's Park, but that option is never suggested as it is 10min longer:

Suggested 21 minute cycle route from near Paddington to Euston Station mostly along busy roads

On a scale of 1 to a fire, how much do you trust this power supply to function if I try to turn it on?

I used to use Pocket to read online articles on my eBook reader, but the current version of the app unhelpfully removed the page flipping mode (not recently, probably one or two years ago). Only normal scrolling is left, which is super annoying with an ePaper display. Is there any alternative?

I have acquired a Device. The device arrived with a PSU in the form of an AC adapter on some Europe standard plus a sleek but baffling LeMarchand's Box of a travel power adapter. I can't figure out how to use the travel adapter with the PSU on Canadian power. As you can see if I plug it in dead on it does not accept it, but if I plug it in "sideways" it does. But then it doesn't seem to deliver power. Is anyone familiar with such adapters? What am I missing?

EDIT: It wanted me to push real hard

So the #Tesla Head of Design, Franz von Holzhausen, was seen driving a matte black Cybertruck in Santa Monica.

The age of "fake it until you make it" is so over! We officially have entered the era of "Just fake it!"

Just a bad hood seam, which is almost refreshing in that at least it's a relatively even bad seam. It's just way wider than it should be, which in fairness is actually one of Tesla's signature brand looks. It's actually pretty rare to see a Tesla whose hood doesn't have some kind of fitment issues, but here it's more obvious because of those uncompromisingly straight lines. At least the matte wrap helps with most of the oilcanning and other surfacing issues, at least until it gets covered in bird shit and other unwashable detritus, at which point it will go back to looking as crap as every other Cybertruck.
Just a comically bad fit on the rear taillights of the Cybertruck, so extreme is the mismatch that it almost looks like it was done on purpose, except that it obviously wasn't. Tolerances are measured in centimeters here, not millimeters (let alone microns). Note also the thin, isolated side panel on the right, looking like it wants to cut you. Vehicles aren't supposed to look like that!
A wheel arch leans out from the vast expanse of of the Cybertruck's entirely flat bed flank panels, creating a cave at one corner, whose dark expanse lures the eye in. From here it looks like the widest entrance point could fit a child's fingers, just to pick a random example, although the unevenness of the seam suggests that said child's fingers would then quickly become stuck. More to the point, it just looks cheap and shitty for a Fisher Price toy, let alone a six figure truck.

So, there is this hilarious bug in macOS' new gesture-driven video effects. Some USB cameras can be mounted upside-down and have a setting so that the image gets rotated in software; I think this is just a flag somewhere in USB UVC. This also works fine everywhere. However, the gesture recognition apparently runs before that rotation happens, so it sees everything upside-down. So when a coworker makes the thumbs-up gesture, they actually get the thumbs-down video effect 😂

Gives me worst tip-of-my-tongue feeling. Shamefully stalled at 57% for now, but hope to remember some of the stupidly-obvious names my brain refuses to recall …

Was für ein Faltschloss kauft man denn, wenn man es nicht von August Bremickers Söhnen kaufen möchte? Muss nicht fancy sein (älteres Alltagsfahrrad) aber halbwegs lang wäre ganz gut.

Can't find the toot anymore, but someone at #cccamp23 ran a longer-range #rfid scanner showing all the Decathlon labels in the vicinity. Did they also ran that somewhere else? E.g., I'd be curious how this looks like near the local landfill, etc.
