   I'd completely forgotten, but this brought it back. In the 70's, the father of a friend in high school was building a plane in the basement. I remember there were pieces spread all over, and my friend was telling me how much easie

   Whew... the continuous motion started triggering migraine symptoms until I closed the window. But it does have a nice 3d effect. For me, the cycle speed seems excessive. I believe someone suggested tying wiggle effect to mouse movement?

   Thanks mentioning acrylics. Now I'm wondering if new technology will eventually improve our printing to allow better colors in news media, and even in prints in art exhibits? Does anyone have any comments on the future of printed media

   I probably would have agreed 50 years ago, but it's a bit hard now. Fortunately, select-all boosted the contrast nicely. ;)

    Used several of these at school in the 90's. IIRC intro classes used VAX/VMS (was the machine called VAX-1170?). But all the higher undergrad classes used Unix on PDP-11/70's, like in the picture. Of course, I hardly eve

    OK, fun article. But holy smokes, when I first read the title, I thought it was saying, "GF pasta falls apart because of neutron scattering." Whew!

    No, no, no. I think it's actually really simple. We tech nerds sometimes think a lot the same way.

    lol, I really liked this article. But yeah, maybe it helps that I have the scripting turned off.

    I see a real benefit to the beetle, if it can get out. But I'm wondering, is there any benefit to the frog from consuming this type of "fiber"?

    Early 90's, 2-3 friends and I had all bought 486's. I got home and listened to answering machine, and the voice was practically gasping. "You're not gonna believe this game.... You're just not gonna believe it! Uh-h

    I liked that article - didn't see it until late 2020, but it's from 2019. Thanks for posting the link.

    Thanks, your posts were illuminating. I'm not looking forward to replacing my ancient quartz floor lamp, but I'm not sure I'll be able to buy a 3rd replacement bulb, when it finally goes out.

    Both good comments. I love the article, but the "Safety Remarks" probably shouldn't have been so far down in the text!

    Thanks for the links. Is it bad to upvote an article on HN, just because I think the comment quality is enlightening? Philosophers professing to be scientists has been troubling me more and more the past few years. Also, gotta say many of t
