I feel like this is one of the things python got right. You can start off with plain old data: def Foo: def __init__(self, foo): self.foo=foo Use it in all the ways you like. If then later you discover a need fo

It doesn't have a brad-point, worse the face of it is flat. I don't see how this drill doesn't wander terribly when trying to get it started.

In my experience a lot of the difference in performance of Windows vs Linux in programs which are designed for Linux is in the file system. Linux is really good at handling a bazillion tiny files. Windows is really not. I'm sure that

I accidentally ended up in a church while the organist was practicing. It felt like the whole building shook, which is impressive in a 500 year old building with meter thick walls. I can totally see how people used to think pipe organs were

I don't think such a system does or can exist. e.g. nl-NL is distinct from nl-BE which is distinct from fr-BE. Using a country flag doesn't work if a country uses multiple languages. Languages themselves don't have icons to g

It doesn't quite always manage to reach the ocean, even when it claims it does[0]. Though I suppose in this domain The Netherlands would be the edge case of all edge cases. I've also noticed it'll often not start the raindrop

Another option is to have the client automatically reconnect. That way your backend can just drop the connection when it needs to, and the load balancing infra will make sure the reconnection ends up on a different server. Of course you do

Glare from lights is the worst. I really loathe the recent trend of bare bulbs and lampshades that don't shade.

Only just replaced my 1080 (non-ti) and it would run basically any game I threw at it very well. Only replaced it because it doesn't really do raytracing or TAA very well, and those are becoming more and more common.

You realize of course that if you organize a meetup you get to set the rules for said meetup? That's not a cult, that's normal-ass behavior. Usually it doesn't get spelled out quite this prominently, but it happens any time y

On a well designed track the flanges should not ever rub. Of course with light rail you'll sometimes run into a problem where a curve needs to be tighter than can be done without flange rubbing. The Amsterdam tramways have a couple pla

You can viably run git over sneakernet. Yes if you decide to use a specific communication service, that service needs to be up, but git itself is entirely agnostic.

The key to this mechanism is that the stepping of the minute hand is what unlocks the second hand. Pretty clever low-tech way to keep a LOT of clocks in really close sync. Dutch train stations used to have these too, I loved to watch them i

A nozzle clog won't set a 3d printer on fire either. It'll make a good mess of the hot-end. There'll be a bunch of charred filament, and heat creep will clog the nozzle nicely. It won't however magically get any hotter t

That only applies to english though. In dutch the country is called Turkije and the bird is called a kalkoen. I'm sure in by far most languages there's no confusion between the bird and the country, and yet everyone across the who

It's pretty wild how different languages can handle things differently. Even basic stuff like numbers. Thank goodness we've standardized on using arabic numerals most of the time. writing out numbers is a mess. E.g. in dutch the l

I mean that's largely an unanswered question. Aparantly there's currently a semi-automated algorithm that works but needs a LOT of supervision, making it much too expensive to use to "unroll" all the rolls. As to how you

This scroll hasn't ever and can't ever been unrolled. It's too fragile for that. The only thing we DO have is a high resolution scan. The trick then of course is how do you "unroll" the scan. Furthermore the scroll

It's very hard for a tram to unexpectedly do anything. They accelerate slowly, they decelerate slowly. It's entirely obvious when you can come across a tram and when you can't. Seeing as a tram (nearly) always has right of

"fecal matter" here is not nuggets of poop smeared on surfaces. It's germs. You generally don't see, smell, or taste them but they can definitely make you sick.

I feel like a pool is an especially good place for it too. Everything is hard surfaces, providing a good echo. The ambient noise probably helps a lot too with not needing to make noise yourself.
