When reading fast, we tend to read first/last letters and the 'pattern' of the whole word and not really read the spelling. In this case, Reticulum is not very common or a familiar word and most folks would first read (or rather 'see') the word 'rectum'!

You described the phenomenon much better than I would have.

Great, simple to use website.

Just one UI suggestion - in a bright room, I had to spend a few moments to figure out where to type as the borders around the text box was very faint and nearly invisible till I clicked on it. Either make the text border brighter or better still, why not place the cursor in the text box by default on page load so that txt box is highlighted by default?

(Using firefox 115.7 esr on Win 11).

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added the auto-focus and thickened the borders to help with this.

Does anyone know if other Apps (like BaconReader for Android) have similar volumes and so have similar pricing issues ? There are a good number of options on Android for reddit clients - though I would assume the user base is more fragmented across multiple clients and would not have the volumes of Apollo..

Reddit Is Fun developer has received a similar ultimatum: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/13wxepd/rif_de...

It would be an interesting problem to see / solve where in this map would a drop travel the most. By just clicking, I got one that travels from Cavour, South Dakota to Gulf of Mexico over a 3523 Kms journey. I am sure there must be something that is longer!

Edit - some of the routes stop at border of Canada - is this due to lack of dataset?

The source of the Missouri River - Brower's Spring apparently - is probably close to the point where it's longest. I can't find it exactly on this map, but have got up to 5790km, from a point just by Yellowstone Airport.

The code is at https://github.com/sdl60660/river-runner/, it would be quite possible to base a solver on that.

Ha I appreciate you sharing the repo, but if someone is interested in finding a longest route, they should probably just go straight to the data source (USGS NHDPlus data/NLDI API)

The longest route in this dataset is almost certainly from Northwest Montana to the Gulf of Mexico; see, eg. the beautiful illustration of watersheds in North America at [1]. Example: [2]

You can click in Northern Montana for longer routes, e.g. Browning, Montana gives about 5587km.

This is cool! Did you have some info on this or use some data to find this? I was randomly clicking points on center of US and many were just ending in a nearby lake. I only found a few that ended up in the sea..

How do you turn on the ShowDead settings? I don't see that in my settings page..

Between email and noprocrast?

It may be that you need a certain amount of karma to get that option.

It has a GPS, Compass and Accelerometer, light and proximity sensor. No NFC or Gyro.

I work for a large company that has multiple locations and sub business and many buildings have multiple data centres. By looking at the name, we can tell if its a prod / dev or a test server, location of the server ( city/building code and DC number), generic function ( DB -database could be any type of db , FS- file server, etc ) and unique number. Pretty good to pinpoint the location of the server globally but useless when you need to find out the exact function. While our inventory system is kind of OK, keeping it updated is a pain.

Copy the folder named 'base' to c:\python27\lib folder. That did the trick for me.

After that, you should be able to just run "reader_archive\reader_archive.py --output-directory C:\mystuff"

Thanks!

I'm trying this on windows and seem to be missing base.api module. I can't seem to find this module as well - anyone have a clue where i can get this module?

In addition to the above methods, you can copy the base folder and paste it into the same folder as reader_archive.py -- that's what I did and it worked fine.

It's in the \base folder. Set the main folder to be the Python root, as in the grandfather post, and it should be able to find it.

Thanks! For what ever reason, setting the python root did not help, but i just copied the 'base' folder to python lib folder and that seems to have done the trick.

I also had success (on W7) using this method. Thank you, mihaip, I am truly grateful.

While there are several books to teach you basics of Linux, the best way to learn is to do hands on.

- Install Virtual box ( or any other free VM hosts).

- Download CentOS.

- Set yourself a goal on what you need to achieve - e.g I need to run php version x with apache configured to do x y z tasks.

- Install CentOS as a VM ( you could skip these steps and run a cheap VPS as others have suggested) .

- Understand the various steps in the installation - Disk partition, Software selection etc. Don't just blindly select anything unless you understand what you are doing.

- Figure out what software you need to install to achieve your goal and install it one by one.

- Ever time you get struck, if you find some command to fix the issue, don't blindly copy paste it - understand what the issue is and figure out what the command you are trying to run is doing to fix the issue.

Once you have everything up and running, destroy the machine and start over with a slightly different goal.

Google is your friend! Good luck.

>Don't just blindly select anything unless you understand what you are doing.

That's important advice: anytime you run up against a selection option and you don't know what you should choose or why the default is what is it, search for more information to understand what is going on. I believe you can teach yourself anything just by setting a goal and learning as you go (with plenty of time and acceptance for mistakes).

Very good advise.

Also, keep a text file open and document each step with notes, urls and all the terminal commands you've used.
