I disagree. By only showing the artist’s impression they give a false sense of what our scientific capabilities are. The images are amazing but they’re also rather poor in the mind of a child who only ever sees artist’s impressions and 4K H

That’s what I meant. The PDF is the first I’ve seen.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the competing designs to the McDonnell Douglas design before. Were these public at the time like with later aircraft competitions? I’m thinking of the YF-17, YF-23 and X-32.

I think I just need to get the same puncture resistant tyres I had on it previously which were excellent. The current ones where whatever the LBS had in stock.

I've a 24 km commute in Dublin in Ireland. It's most consistent by ebike. Driving can take anywhere from 35 minutes to over an hour depending on traffic. Public transport takes 90 minutes and there is only a direct bus a couple of

This seems like the kind of thing the FaceID sensors in iPad and iPhones could achieve. I’ve been impressed with its use for face painting in Procreate for example.

Apple Arcade on Apple TV is pretty good for kids. There’s some really nice actual games there. My seven year old has enjoyed Sneaky Sasquatch, Assemble With Care, Simon’s Cat, Alba, Lego Builders Journey and What the Golf. All have had inte

I think this is why engineers like Matlab. It’s not fashionable these days but they get their IDE and docs right.

You keep claiming it’s political when it isn’t. The mod feels personally that JKR is bad and lashes out on a website to hurt other people. They aren’t protesting the legal status of trans people. They aren’t demanding changes to health care

Personal as in their private life or identity is affected, not interpersonal as in a relationship between two or more people or groups. Political would relate to government policies, or how a country is run. I’m flabbergasted that I need to

If I painted it as a political agenda someone else would complain. They are personally affected because they are trans. That seemed the most honest way to phrase it.

Except they didn’t just stop there. They used their platform to actively hurt those capable of separating the art from the artist. I’ve no interest in the Harry Potter series. I’ve never read or watched any of it and I’ve a negative opinion

Interestingly enough there’s been some mod drama over on /r/AskScienceFiction today. This is a sub where people ask questions and get in universe responses. It’s very nerdy and can be fun. It also can attract a certain type of pos

Andrew Ng’s introductory courses on Coursera are a good way to start. If you’re a bit more comfortable with command line stuff the fast.ai is good.

I’ve an old iPod touch from 2010 knocking about still. The kids play local music on it and mess about with its camera. It’s not connected to the internet. The battery is not up to much anymore but it works incredibly well still. I’m shocked

Their influence has dropped significantly. Historically a Catholic priest would be principle or have unfettered access to children. They would often just arrive into classrooms and throw their weight around or physically assault children. T

It’s relatively affordable to hire a car here. Public transport isn’t great. The west is particularly picturesque, as said Galway is great. Kerry and West Cork are very touristy but beautiful. What would you like to do?

Ireland grew up. I’m immensely proud of what my country has achieved in so few years. We’ve transferred ourselves from an impoverished theocracy to a thriving secular and increasingly liberal European peer. Many people my age (and younger)

You should get a pop up asking if you want to launch the app or need to go into system settings to approve it. It’s a minor speed bump and is probably for the best for non-savvy users.

You do yourself a disservice by the ignorance of this comment. British rule of Ireland was cruel and self interested and persisted well into the 20th Century. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_Laws https:/&#x

Laziness is hostility for the user. They have a captive market and they see no need to make life easier. These companies have an effective monopoly so they don’t care. Companies like the MathWorks seem to make licensing straightforward. Ev

Another form of user hostile software is software that is deliberately and inexplicably complex. I’m thinking specifically of ‘professional’ engineering tools. Simulation and CAD software that comes in a multi gigabyte installations, for no

One of the nice things I liked about OS X when I moved from Windows/Ubuntu around 2010 was the clear but playful naming of apps and utilities. They seemed to have presence. The large and beautiful high resolution icons helped too. In W
