regardless of all the corrections, questions and additions here: it was a lot of fun to go on a world tour on my old globe and find out when the map was from: 1975. :-)
Why is the "Approximate Energy Deposition" (!= visibility?) on the side facing the sun much lower than on the side facing away from the sun? Shouldn't it be about the same?
It might have something to do with the shape of Earth's magnetic field lines and the way they extend away from the sun but are compressed toward the sun. Aurora, in turn, is caused by the spiraling of charged particles that are captured in these field lines and since the field is stronger on the dark side of earth it seems reasonable that you would see more particles on the dark side. We're casting a wider net there.
Hacker News is refreshingly constructive compared to other discussion forums. Seriously!
For example, the very popular German computer magazine c't has a news ticker where public contributions are allowed. Reading the comments there is extremely frustrating and depressing. Most posts almost always follow the same pattern: something in the news article is wrong or not clear enough, which is then complained about in a smug way. Next comes the wiseacre comments. If that's not enough, people express their own displeasure or negative view of something in connection with the article, in other words: rant. Keyboard warriors often have a rendezvous there. Information or constructive criticism is by now extremely rare there, at least compared to Hacker News. I've stopped reading the comments there!
...and that's exactly why I like being here and why I also enjoy reading your comments, because they often usefully complement the actual topic. :-)
This looks neat. Wish I'd known about it when I started with the original Paperless a couple of years ago (then NG and now NGX). Might give it a try if I ever need to change.
Its just the domain (.ai), the project has nothing to do with AI and this nice platform has seen better times: Last release Imagine v1.1.1: July 2, 2021
