I think the only way around this problem is one we can borrow from the demoscene art competitions: show your work. In the demoscene, still graphics competitions, at least as far as I remember, most organizers defend against cheating by requ

I believe that I've read that elsewhere. They allow for better and higher flow than an intersection, but have a weird failure mode at very high rates where the circle gets loaded and all directions thus stop.

I've written here before with some back of the envelope numbers for a hubble 2.0 + starship as the LV. It gets more interesting if you set up an assembly line for cameras in a tube like the hubble to spread the costs out, and use newer

This is oddly timely. I'm travelling in Europe at the moment and have been covering a lot of area with a lot of roundabouts where they would be signaled or signed intersections in the US. They definitely make traffic flow smoothly and

I can't wait for a new round of moral panic to set in over this. Some of us remember the hysteria over playing rock music backwards.

It's a mistake that's made over and over again in tech. Back when Atari was printing money in the late 70s and early 80s the leadership and marketing people literally didn't know what to do that would help or hurt their busin

Woah, what an interesting site! I'm a very amateur currency (mostly paper money) collector and have struggled mightily with creating a searchable collection index due to the differences in how various countries mark their currencies. I

The X68k was an absolutely amazing line of machines. Beautiful industrial design in and out. The FM Towns relied on Intel CPUs, but the rest of the hardware was designed more or less like any other Japanese system of the era with specialize

Yes! And it's very interesting to consider two additional things: 1. how seemingly "less capable" technologies win out in this evolutionary environment 2. how plentiful VC (and to some extent government funding for R&D) d

I think this somewhat misses an important nuance. Japanese PCs had to be different early on because of the complexities of the written language. All of the important characters could be handled in just a few bits (7 or 8) and low resoluti
