  • I’m just guessing, but I assume that after a certain point, what you’re trying to draw is so niche and/or new that no one’s bothered to make decent software for it. Like, you can do a Feynman diagram quickly on a chalk board, or spend 3x as long dragging lines in Visio or something to make a diagram diagram.

    Even with CAD existing, I still always sketch initial project ideas out on paper just cause it’s fast and easy.





  • Disclaimer: I could be wrong or not up to date, but this is my current understanding.

    On the small scale, forces like electromagnetism and gravity pull things together much much faster than the rate of cosmological expansion. That’s why “we” don’t expand, and neither does our frame of reference. There’s a potential end to the universe where the rate of cosmological expansion (which increases over time) finally exceeds gravity and electromagnetism and eventually even the strong force, causing everything to fly apart forever.

    Light waves propagate through spacetime itself, and basically it ends up being that there’s nothing pulling it back from expanding as the space it travels expands.




  • I did recently discover you can turn off “Web and App Activity” for your Google account, which seems to disable Google saving most of your data (searches, viewed places, etc), for what that’s worth. It definitely cripples Google maps even more than I think it should, since now I can’t even search for labels I’ve added to Google maps myself.

    I’ve been meaning to try Organic Maps as well, but haven’t even gotten around to installing it yet.
