I found a really neat minecraft mod called "3D Maps"

when a map placed in an item frame it creates a small 3D render of the map

I could totally see this being a vanilla feature one day, it's a great way to show off builds

“In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings.”

Load any image and it gets embroidered on woven linen in real time. Pull any thread out and see how far you can unravel it, just be careful not to unstitch the whole thing ;) #GLSL

A PYTHON IS SWALLOWING THE PYTHON WIKIPEDIA PAGE RIGHT NOW

everyone knows web crawlers, spiders that crawl the internet link by link

i built a python instead

it doesn't crawl a page, it swallows it

it slides down from the title, and every word it touches peels off and follows it down the page

it runs on python, asyncio, aiohttp and beautifulsoup

32 workers, all hunting at the same time

it grabs the parts worth eating: headings, text, tables, charts, version history, every figure gets saved the second it slides past

menus and sidebars stay where they are

every link it's already swallowed goes into a set, so it never eats the same page twice

halfway down the page there's a python web crawler in the code examples, and my python slides right over it

then it hits the zen of python, "simple is better than complex"

i read that and built a snake anyway

everything it catches comes out as clean json, ready for a database, a dashboard or a training set

spiders crawl the web

pythons swallow it whole
