Further fun fact, still in Italy, the territory around the city of Treviso is called La Marca since medieval times (and still today): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_of_Treviso <MARQUEE>, instead, is an anci

My recent experience is that some books are unfindable by search, even if you enter the exact title. Only ISBN works. In other words, amazon search totally sucks. To the point that I find easier to search amazon via google ("now you ha

I haven't compared the two solutions personally, but MISTer is said to have less latency than emulators.

I also like sodium lighting, especially the LP variety (despite the fact that all the mystic about orange light helping sleep has been basically debunked), but it is still light. We should decrease light pollution, not simply change its col

Except that flags do not all have the same ratio. It may be useful to assume so for graphic layouts, but it is not really correct.

I think the problem is extensibility. Architecture astronauts tend to create abstractions, which are useful for eventual extensions to to the original design. Shitty code is hard to change, but astronautic code is difficult to understand an

Years ago I studied astrology quite a lot. I've never been too interested in the divinatory side, and the pop-level generalizations such as those you cited are not even worth commenting. Instead I, like the OP's friend, think it&#

Imagine. For each tanker truck that goes to a gas pump, you need to carry away a truck of the same size full of rocks. Rather nice image for the idea of "not sustainable".

from wikipedia: "All the CO2 that is produced by burning one liter of oil can be sequestered by less than one liter of olivine." Doesn't that require a monstrous amount of olivine to obtain significant effects?

One problem that I have noticed in the NFT space is that the platforms only deal with transaction between wallets , not persons. The association between wallets and persons is tenuous (by design). You don't know if you are buying from

Same here. I have an older Unicomp that I would like to replace, but I haven't done it for exactly this reason.

Alitalia was a monstrous money-destroying machine and a famously poor airline, kept alive for political reasons only, sold in patriotic wrapping. As an Italian I don’t expect this reincarnation to be anything different.

Also, I was surprised not to see the magic word "Fischer" mentioned anywhere.

Yikes! I've been waiting for this, but 793€! I understand the reasons. Quality parts, small run, etc. But then I wonder: suppose I am so crazy to buy one. Extremely cool, certainly. But then? I stopped writing C64 software 27 years ago

The sample at the end of the article seems to me at the same time Beethoven-like and meaningless. Made me think of the "screams of the damned" AI recreation of Frank Sinatra < https://www.theguardian.com/music&#x

It's hard to have a great opinion of WD after: (1) this, (2) the SMR disaster of supposedly NAS HDDs, (3) the portable drives silently encrypted even when no encryption was set.

Subways are great but they only work in dense cities; many cities are not dense and will never be.

Except, this does nothing for the already-existing cities, so it is just a planner's fantasy, unless the price of transportation becomes so high to cause the cities to transform. I think this is rather unlikely. I am thinking, couldn&#
