The 18th-century navigational chart of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden had a practical purpose, not a representational one, for sailors in modern-day Gujarat in India #navigation

Ollie (Block Theme): Untermenüs per Hover statt Klick aktivieren

Wer das WordPress-Blocktheme Ollie verwendet, wird schnell bemerken: Bei Untermenüs im Navigationsblock muss man zunächst auf den übergeordneten Menüpunkt klicken, bevor sich das Untermenü öffnet. Das unterscheidet sich von vielen anderen Themes (z. B. Twenty Twenty-Five), bei denen ein einfaches Hovern mit der Maus ausreicht. In diesem Beitrag zeige ich, wie man dieses Verhalten direkt im Code-Editor des Block-Editors ändert.

What would be the business justification for making Africa larger than Greenland?

It's not like the US cared...

#Navi #GNSS software update - in the end I stuck with #TomTom Go (the paid one), although I did like #OsmAnd and had the paid version its way slower to pick up your vehicle speed from GNSS than TomTom and lacks real time #trafficinfo - whilst #OrganicMaps and #CoMaps still seem to be arguing about how to implement speed display on #AndroidAuto

#TomTom app behaves pretty much exactly like my old standalone navi, its a familiar, usable #UI and has accurate real time speed display plus 3 warning beeps the moment you go over the limit (which is often main reason I want this software, especially in familiar areas where I can navigate without the GNSS (as I grew up having to do this when younger!)

🥳 Behold, the riveting tale of #open-source #software on IBM Z and LinuxONE! A thriller where pressing *Enter* is the highlight, and the plot twists are as dynamic as a 🧂 cracker. Because who doesn't love a good 'Log in' #saga and championing the art of toggling navigation? 🔄🎉

Modeling suggests that sparse #CA3 input can speed up #learning of new #SpatialMaps, while dense #CA1 coding provides a more efficient, compressed representation for large-scale #navigation.

Weekly output: Google’s live lane guidance, Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoils

LISBON–I traveled here to speak at my ninth Web Summit conference in Europe via another EU city that I’m quite fond of, Barcelona. The Mozilla Foundation had the good taste to host its Mozilla Festival there and then provide me with a travel stipend to cover the event, so of course I was willing to start my Web Summit trip a few days early. Even though that left me little time at home between working a 15-hour day Tuesday as an election officer and then heading to Dulles Airport Wednesday afternoon.

11/4/2025: Safe to Go? Google Maps Adds ‘Live Lane Guidance’ for Polestar 4 EVs, PCMag

PCMag had two stories under my byline this week, and this was the one I actually wrote this week to cover an update to the built-in Google navigation in one of Polestar’s battery-electric vehicles. The other involved my editor updating a post I wrote in May about President Trump withdrawing his nomination of private astronaut and payments billionaire Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator, the new plot twist being that Trump had changed his mind again and had re-nominated Isaacman. I realize how confusing that last sentence can look. 

11/7/2025: This battery-electric hydrofoil could supercharge a ferry transformation, Fast Company

Two years after getting an introduction to the Swedish startup Candela’s battery-electric hydrofoil sport boats on the San Francisco Bay, I enjoyed an update of the experience on waters I know much better–the Potomac and the Anacostia. With a longer word count than I had for that PCMag report in the summer of 2023, I went into much more detail about Candela’s ambitions to get into the passenger-ferry business, its likely competition in that market, and potential obstacles to electrifying ferries.

Compose + Koin + Jetpack Navigation: что мы поняли за 2 года

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Арсений Шпилевой, и я Android-разработчик в core-команде WB Partners, Wildberries & Russ. Сегодня поделюсь нашим опытом развития архитектуры приложения на Jetpack Compose: с какими ограничениями мы столкнулись, как укротили навигацию от Google и какими молитвами всё это подружили с Koin. Главным образом речь пойдёт про навигацию на уровне UI, без data- и domain-слоёв.
