Downloading deleted Unsplash photos

@daudix made a short post about downloading deleted images from Unsplash, with a little help from the Wayback Machine, in the original quality.

Taking a Short Break

@daudix explains their plans to take a short break from various internet things.

@a: I think that’s a great idea. I took a break from email and chats and stuff during my two week vacation and I definitely don’t regret that.

More Vacation Photos

@a wrote a post with some photos from a recent vacation, with lots of foxes and cats. There are other photos too, but of course the cute small mammals are the real star of the show.

Reaching consensus with gossip and pruning semi-lattice

Two well-known methods for collaborative editing are the operational transformation (OT) and the conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT), but what if you could have the advantages of both? @iacore wrote a post about the sync9 algorithm which is kind of like a CRDT+OT and uses the antimatter algorithm to prune history. The post also explains some other cool ideas for consensus and collaborative editing.

1+2-3*4/5=22

@vnpower wrote about a seemingly straightforward puzzle and how they solved it.

@a: I found a different solution but it’s slightly cheating: -1²²÷2×4+5=3

Thanks to @vnpower, we have a new puzzle for this month!
