   Any average day 16 elks collide with cars carrying humans in Sweden. These animals have no natural predators any longer - without these annual culls (100k out of a population of about 350k - these numbers are relatively stable from year to

   Well, that was interesting. I really enjoyed playing Pit Stop II on my friend's C64 back in like '85. It was way better than my own ZX81 at graphical games. I do sort of remember idly wondering which people built this marvel, alre

   I think there has been an explosion in potential distractions the last couple of years though. Everywhere you look, new frameworks, platforms and languages, as far as the eye can see. So much shiny stuff. And it just keeps coming. (I do t

    Watching those demos I got the feeling that what we are seeing here is a "last-minute" salvage from something quite a lot more ambitious. (Like AR glasses hardware.)

    I think I have done about 200-250 international trips (using like 600-800 flight segments) during the past 15 years. And I have worked with people who travel 5x more...

    Submitting a complete record of 15 years of travel history would be quite challenging to many people, to say the least.
