Probably what makes this most relevant to HN is that the film marks a triumphant return to acting for Ke Huy Quan, who we all know as Data from The Goonies and Short Round in Temple of Doom. It's a performance that shows surprising ra

This blog is a recent favorite of mine. Near-daily posts transcribed from a range of foamer, worker, and engineering archaeology newsgroups. It's a dangerous source of rabbitholes.

Lift Bridge Loosened for Louche Launch Once upon a time masts were easily broken down for this sort of problem, but this thing's design must involve some sort of vertical turbines that aren't so easy to remove. It's hard to g

Maybe not an attempt at annexation, but Winston Churchill made speeches late in life bemoaning the effort’s failure to ‘strangle bolshevism in its cradle.’ Tell me where things would have stopped if the Whites, Allies, and Czechoslovak Legi

Yep, the constraints of the St. Lawrence Seaway mean we get the cutest little container vessels every couple of weeks from Europe. Sometimes they have a portion of the deck set aside for windmill parts. Presumably this plant will be truckin

Mr. Stross was kind enough to pop into the discussion but too much of a gentleman to plug his new book, so I’ll do it: The new Laundryverse book, _Quantum of Nightmares_, was released today.

Often it's an OpEx vs CapEx play. Also large orgs crave treating staff as interchangeable parts and IT hiring is thorny. Throwing too much money at the problem can be preferable. Enterprises would rather not maintain inhouse infrastruc
