This article presents one facet of automobile risk that is interesting. Essentially there is no governing body tasked to analyze and mitigates these risks to the same degree as with public transport. Rather, general consensus (maybe not maj

I'm running Plasma on a couple of repurposed Chromebooks: Celeron 2 core @ 1Ghz with 4GB of RAM and the DE is quite snappy. Inkscape, GIMP and the Godot IDE have run great. Light gaming: minecraft on somewhat reduced settings, older wi

I saw that recently and it gave me pause. An entire scripting engine (and JS of all things?) For permission queries. That's a lot of rope for hanging yourself in a variety of ways when all you're doing is encoding a two dimensiona

At least according to wikipedia, ANTLR accepts a CFG (context free grammar), while PEG (parsing expression grammar) is not context free, specifically, the choice operator in a PEG selects the first match. I've been reading about parser

Wow! Looks super well polished. Did you create the art assets in house or contract them out? What 3D engine are you using? PS. I think I could just watch the excavator digging holes all day.

That was beautiful and poinant, typical of Le Guin. Thank you. I read once about a young man who wanted to give away everything he had and go live with the poor and destitute. His uncle told him it would be much more compassionate if he got

That is extraordinary work. Beautiful illustrations. I recently started experimenting with a similar technique in inkscape. It seems like a much better tool than paint+gimp for drawing, layering, and shading polygons. That said, the tool is

Well, not the MOST remote. Wikipedia has a list[1]. Maybe Marquesas is the furthest from a continental landmass (3000mi to Mexico). But it's much closer to Tahiti than many of the other islands on the list. Remote islands became a casu

I think the (unstated) idea is to use an arc furnace, during peak solar/wind output to heat graphite and recover the energy later using their fancy new TPV cell. That's going to require some really good insulation, since your heat

I agree with you. But I learned yesterday that Seimens has a process where they completely recycle carbon fiber turbine blades. I had no idea that was even possible. If it works out that's pretty neat. https://www.siemensgam

Because you usually link it to a DataView and then the DataView updates when the underlying data changes. Same for QSqlTable, it links up with a QTableView.
