Bought BTC in early July, cashed out recently at 600% my initial investment. Some of it's gone towards Christmas presents, and I'm going to put the rest into a side project for (hopefully) a more stable source of semi-passive income.

They're only freak incidents if you're looking from a narrow enough vantage point. Pretty much everyone in Louisiana has grown up hearing about the flood of 1927, for example.

I'm really enjoying this so far. Using it to keep our app's dashboard floating in the corner to keep an eye on it. My biggest want right now is support for right clicking / keyboard shortcuts in the opened browser pages. Had to manually type out my randomly-generated, 26-character password since I couldn't just copy and paste from 1password. That said, this is great. Well worth the purchase.

For Houston or Louisiana? The map I linked (and the bulk of my comment) are about what we did in Louisiana last year. I'm not completely in the know regarding Houston.

I know of a few people who worked on maps in Houston (and helped some out in minor ways), but AFAIK there wasn't one single map that "won out".

I was the one who created the Cajun Navy's crowd-sourced rescue mapping strategy, though, while helping out with the 2016 Louisiana floods, so I can give a little insight.

At first, I just saw that people were posting requests for rescue in various Facebook groups and becoming quickly buried under requests by others. So I spent a lot of time combing through the posts and adding the details to a spreadsheet, which I then posted on Batchgeo for rescuers to use.

After that, I started working with the people from one of the Facebook groups who had set up a Google Form for submitting rescue requests, and ended up periodically copying requests over from there.

We also had another form for updates regarding a specific request, and were fielding phone calls from people about it as well.

The original map is actually still up here if interested: https://batchgeo.com/map/984218ef8a04f3587f6e723561501e89

FWIW sticky headers are completely doable in pure HTML/CSS.

  .header {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    background: goldenrod;
  }

Cinnamon is extremely stable. I haven't had issues in a couple of years now.

I've found that here in Louisiana people tend to be less racist overall, while those who are don't hide it. There are the guys who get drunk and throw slurs around, and worse, but I've also never seen as many interracial couples anywhere else. The openness makes it easier to know who your friends and enemies are.

I agree with not feeling ashamed about the sins of your ancestors, but I also don't believe in blaming others for their ancestors' sins. One branch of my family owned a plantation in Haiti. Then the revolution came, and that branch came to an abrupt end. While I'm extremely bothered that the revolutionaries killed the children as well, I'm not going to blame their descendants.

Congrats to the creator, at a glance this looks nice and readable. If I ever tire of Iosevka I'll give it a try (that's a big if though; Iosevka has the advantage of being both beautiful and narrow, so I can keep multiple panes open comfortably).

I think my knowledge of welders might be biased. I'm from southern Louisiana, and most welders that I know work offshore making somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-60k without too much experience. Cost of living's low here, so that's a really comfortable salary. On top of that, oil companies do have good opportunities for advancement.

Well, there are other skilled professions that pay well and are relatively easy to get into. Welding for example.

Thought this was a little odd. For me it just shows listings for local businesses. When I'm on a VPN, though, the search does not match any documents.

It might be more comparable to missionary work. Wikipedia is providing valuable resources, but that charitable work can be interwoven with foreign ideals.

But it seems like Wikipedia are conscious of that, so they've taken a hands-off approach to this.

I'm working with the editor of our local newspaper to put together something for our community, and would be interested in hearing more about your village website. Could I get a link?

Octopress (http://octopress.org/) seems like it's still fairly popular.

When I was younger I worked at a small newspaper which had only recently made the transition from self-publishing the old-fashioned way to laying out the paper with software and sending it off to a publishing company.

The old printing press easily took up half of our little room, and old supplies still littered the shelves and floor. I loved digging through papers (we had copies dating back to the first half of the 20th century) and learning tidbits about the old way of doing things. The rest of the workers had been there 30+ years and would reminisce about late nights spent pasting strips of paper with text and images onto a board, annotating it with a pen that wouldn't show up, taking and developing the photographs, and running the press.

I don't really have anything to contribute, but it's cool to see this pop up on here and learn a little more about it.
