Or This Week I Learned

It's been again few weeks, but anyway, it's been a lot of new interesting stuff there. Some I even managed to write down so I can share it with you…

The Wolfram Language Image Identification Project

Yes, I did try some pervert images.

Domain names

Domain names are case insensitive for [A-Z][a-z], case sensitive for others ( exämple.com!= exÄmple.com).

Interesting game

So called "ZPG" - or the game you do not need to play. Uber cool. Try if you have time.
Wait, even if you don't. It plays by itself.

Ducks

Go ahead and watch them while they play in water. At least it looks like they play. They enjoy the hell out of flying and I am not surprised.
I wanna be duck in my next life. (Not that I believe in next lifes.)

Time-lapse Mining from Internet Photos

This was mentioned in awesome SGU podcast. Scary, but amazing what they managed to do.

uBlock and uMatrix

Finally I have found the ad-blocker extension that does what I want. I use uMatrix only, as it also has features from uBlock.
uMatrix is a firewall which works in relaxed block-all/allow-exceptionally mode.

Baby elephants eat the feces of their mums to get the right bacteria.

So that the bacteria kickstarts their digestive system.

rake test folder/*

If you run rake test folder/, it will run all the tests. Add * to run only test within directory f your choice.
