It works great for me just using iCloud Drive.


I tried iCloud Drive and didn't mind it. I ended up moving to Sync, though, because 1) it's end-to-end encrypted and 2) I can sync any directory, not just subdirectories of iCloud Drive.


I haven't updated it recently, but this should give you a starting point: https://github.com/ytechie/obsidian-sample

There are some challenges with duplication, and I either keep my own version (focused on what I need to know about it), or I just have a link to the other system.


Obsidian supports Mermaid charts. I've used that for this type of chart before, to plan a trip.


While the Gantt in Mermaid is decent, this would be far, far superior as a bidirectional plugin (i.e capable of both visualisation and editing the original markdown).

I'd happily pay for this as an Obsidian plugin.


Wouldn't these be great for trailers? Trailer blowouts are common, and often unnoticed, or can heavily damage the trailer. I have no interest in these on a car, but for a trailer, sign me up!


I think they'd be better for trailers than cars because all the tradeoffs people are complaining about (small increase in rolling resistance, NVH, inability to air up for increased load or down for comfort) are far lesser in a trailer application. Combine that with all the trailer tires that go bad from long term exposure to the elements before they get worn out and it seems like an obvious application.

But..... one of the most important aspects about trailer tires is cost and these may not quite be there yet. Michilin and other tire manufacturers don't really compete much in that space and leave it for the low end import brands to fight over.

Rental trailers and towed equipment (like towed light plants and air compressors) seems like the only obvious niche where both the cost and downsides are justifiable.


I've heard that all map projections are a compromise. Is this a leftover of printed maps?

If you take a photo of the earth, you can't argue that it's inaccurate, as it's literally a photo. When you use something like Google Earth, it's the same deal. You can rotate the map and everything is rendered fairly accurately for any given perspective. Aren't they an accurate representation?


It's a fact of projecting the surface of a sphere onto a 2D plane. You can't see every side of the earth at once in Google Earth. Even the globe you look at in Google Earth is distorted since it's still a 3D projection into 2D. Looking at it from the equator, countries at the equator will appear larger relative to countries near the poles.

Anyway! This site is really cool. I think 'Natural Earth' is most satisfying to me subjectively. Looks close enough to what we're all raised with, and seems to have a good balance of various types of distortion.


Try peeling an orange with as few tears as possible, and flattening the skin against a hard surface.


Is that like Hamachi? https://vpn.net/


For me, I get motion sick if I'm not driving, so I'm really excited about this. I'll be able to use the toll HOV lanes.


The App Service Editor (which uses Monaco) does have file management. It even has a web-based command-line interface. https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/App-Service-Editor


You can of course build file management on top of the base Monaco component. Monaco itself provides only APIs to set or retrieve the content of a monaco editor widget. You can then build some kind of filemanager on top of it which loads file contents from whereever and puts them into an editor instance.


It's actually built into Azure websites. To navigate there directly, have you app name ready and put it in this URL: https://XXXX.scm.azurewebsites.net/dev/wwwroot/ where XXXX is the name of your site. For a little more history, you can listen to my podcast where we interview some of the brains behind it: http://msdevshow.com/2015/09/visual-studio-code-with-chris-d...


I agree. Server-side analytics were actually fairly mature before Google came alone. It's just more complicated in some cases, but manageable. The biggest downside these days would be SPA apps since they are not necessarily touching the server in any regular way.
