The end is here for the free ride on embedding google maps:
https://cloud.google.com/maps-pl…Check your google api account for the usage, they send out emails regarding the specific api key usage and how this limit affects that key but the $200 free credit is for the account and not per api key.
And you have to create a billing account on google what will be connected to the apis you're using.

- It works-ish - old roommate got REALLY into this with mixed results.duckseason
- It works, but you're better off making a rig from something like instructables with a carbide tip and using rotation and light pressure, not heat.detritus
- the problem with this sort of thing is less the cutting of glass, more the endless sanding off to get a usable result... .detritus
- There was a company doing this with wine bottles in the early 2k's in Toronto - I remember trying it to pretty spotty results.ben_

Niche, i know... but just spent days trying to convert Microsoft Word documents containing Word equations to HTML with equations stored as LaTEX as fallback for accessibility (blind mathematicians are often fluent in TEX!)... stumbled upon this simple solution that may save someone a few days work.
Use the command line tool Pandoc ... if you do a lot of document conversion/ reformatting of documents check it out anyway, it is a lifesaver.
use pandoc to convert docx -> tex (will convert the entire document to tex including equations)
use pandoc to convert tex -> html (as there is no filter to convert equations out of tex so you will get error messages and pandoc will wrap offending code in span tags and $ delimiters)
use mathjax library to render the equations as SVG and maintain the original equation as alt text.

Containerised Browser Tabs.
Yeah, yeah — they're fairly old news — I'm sure full-time web devs are rolling their eyes reading my suggestion here.
I just always forget about them, but I'm forcing myself to use them more: They're handy if, say, you want to have two instances of the same site open - one logged in, the other not.
If you don't know — in Firefox, click and hold the + symbol to make a new Tab. Not sure what it is in Chrome, etc.
I guess also handy for QBN trolls with multiple accounts... :\
- + symbol????trooperbill
- derp im in chrome at work loltrooperbill
- Shit, sorry - the New Tab '+' icon at the top - sorry, that was not at all clear.detritus

A while back in a different thread someone asked for a site that shows all different kinds of charts (bar, line, etc. etc.) and a site was shared that had really nice layouts of different charts, why to use them, etc.
I thought I bookmarked it and can't even find the thread on here. Anyone know what that was?
- Nevermind. Found it: http://datavizprojec…mg33
