To me these "traiditional" style buildings in Europe would be considered "modern" by North American standards. Structurally, it feels like North American houses have been built the same way since the colonies started (si

I'm guessing they're doing some aggressive caching since it's read-heavy?

My parents' Ford Edge (mid-sized SUV)'s ride quality is much worse than most sedans I drove. I don't know if it's the big rims/thin tires or crappy suspensions; probably a combination of both. In any case, being an

Happened to us in Berlin on my visit. We were seated with two elderly ladies. Their English wasn't great but they were very friendly.

Looks like their documentation site is down. Any idea what kind of bandwidth we're talking about here?

I'm generally curious if there are any numbers about this. Something like managers per employees over the decades.

I remember coming across a video of a product from Europe where the entire wall assembly is sold as one piece (outer wall, insulation, inner wall). I'm not sure if this type of product is common in Europe. If you then have wire conduit

Don't know about the others, but I think Godot's editor is built using its own in-game UI system.

The Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) was actually close to industrialization with high steel and coal productions, but apparently never took off due to the lack of a middle class to purchase the manufactured goods. https://www.wikiwand

My guess is that due to earthquakes and typhoons, there's a lot more pressure to keep building codes up-to-date with state of the art. In North America so much of how we build is dictated by traditions.

This was popular back then (2011) when screens had lower resolutions, and more emphasis were on visual design as opposed to UX.

I wouldn't read too much into that narrative, as I find it often overstretched and coloured by stereotypes.

Maybe it's a good thing - cars used less for social signaling and more for getting from A to B.

The perception of reliability still has an affect on price and depreciation. So maybe it's a good idea to buy them used. Another complaint I've heard of Alfas is ergonomics sacrificed for looks, which is kind of a deal breaker for

As a single guy and a software engineer, I would pay full price for a pod housing if the area is safe convenient. I'd rent a co-working desk nearby and save a ton of money. These types of housing just aren't available in Vancouver

Honestly $100M is not bad considering a single Boeing 737 costs the same amount. But realistically you'd want winged drones, otherwise you'd need a large number of bases (power hookups, maintenance, etc.).

You could potentially use a turbine engine as a generator in a hydrocarbon-electric setup. It would in theory be lighter, simpler, and require less maintenance. For now there's already a lot of momentum with ICE and they are very polis

I suspect at the same time Oscar will gradually become less relevant as people's attentions will be divided between Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.

Some things to keep in mind: Familiarity breeds contempt. Western expats in East Asia tend to be quite polarized about their country of residence, and expats in poorer countries even more so. Over time, the tint of novelty wears off and the
