We don't do this numbered street thing very much in Australia and manage to get around ok.

Yea ok, but move to a numbered city and you notice the boost. I’ve lived in Melbourne, Sydney, and NYC and found Manhattan’s numbering is great.

Lower Manhattan also still has a large non-numbered area so you can get the old charm when you want it.


Only place I’ve ever seen it is the main stretch along Palm Beach on the Gold Coast

1st through 27th Avenues - they’re over 100 years old now funnily enough


That's the deception plan.


The mix of imperial and metric units in this article was confusing.


I don't understand.

It's a fun experiment into WebGL and graphics programming. I intended it to be a cool tool for getting inspiration for designing and creating other art in general. I do eventually want to build this out into a larger set of tools that would allow you to quickly iterate and build out various aesthetics for designing.

In it's current state, it's mostly practical for creating pretty images and videos that you could use in other projects. If there's more interest I could possibly turn it into more, would love to hear ideas and suggestions!


I think it's just a technological show piece, basically built on top of open source libraries and a couple of algorithms.


Author here, you're mostly right in that it's a show piece. However, it uses no external libraries, I built it all myself using VanillaJS. I do use some famous noise algorithms, specifically Simplex noise and a method of domain warping.


Lets let author explain. Our explanation might derail newbie readers


Same here


Author here, I've replied to the parent comment, hope that clears it up!


I have the Ford Ranger with the 2 litre biturbo diesel engine in Australia. It is so good it's hard to conceive that a better vehicle could be possible.


If that's the one with the wet timing belt, then I can think of one way to make it better!


There are 5 road bridges and 1 railway bridge in the vicinity of Narva.


This is good news. Punish the wrongdoers so we can live in a peaceful safe society.


If you don't die of heart disease you will die from something else.


Australian Government information at the Secret level never touches the Internet.


Never say never. All it takes is one case of the encrypted data being outside a secure setting due to the 'human' factor, and then this mandated backdoor can be used to decrypt it.

Of course, they won't ever mandate a backdoor be added in their encryption system


An excellent resource.
