There’s also the 1600mm Irish gauge which historically was down to picking a compromise between two standards used in lines built in the 19th Century. Some Irish rail engineers brought it with them to places like Australia and Brazil.

Spacechem on the iPad was a thing of beauty. It’s a shame they abandoned iOS but they had valid reasons.

I’ve been back in academia for a few years now. I’m lucky to be permanent and my colleagues are generally lovely and supportive. There’s a big push on Equality Diversity and Inclusion here so people are aware of treating students better. I

It’s quite common in research to plot the aircraft noise footprint. It looks like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3cvpfoj7mb8/TJpQu-_IqfI/AAAAAAAAC7... A significant part of the noise signature is from the jet of

You could also learn Blender. It’s pretty accessible these days and you can easily script it with Python.

This gave some interesting insight into what a lot of my colleagues and I were thinking was going on as we rapidly transitioned to online delivery for our lectures. Certainly we’ve seen shared IPs and similar results within cohorts… Traditi

I had to switch my iPhone’s region from Ireland to the US (and back again) for this feature to turn on. It’s pretty nifty.

I’ve a couple of LIFX bulbs in my home. I paired them directly to the Apple HomeKit Home app and never bothered with LIFX‘a app. They’ve been 99% reliable for me for about three years now. I don’t know if I’m lucky or that avoiding their ap

That wasn’t the point. My suggestion was simply an alternative method that might be more accessible given the availability of equipment. It would also work with any split screen game. They used the equipment they had and I suggested a metho

You can group files in Finder by kind, all image files will then appear together. In list or column view clicking on one will preview it directly in finder in a side panel. You make this preview panel bigger. Tapping Space will open a previ

You are I’m afraid. It’s small money considering that the solution used in the article was an order of magnitude more expensive. You’ll also need the console. An N64 console is going to cost you $100 on eBay, a GoldenEye cart another $20. Y

There are low latency dongles you can use for old consoles to output to HDMI, see my reply to the parent.

In fairness you’re being really obtuse and not explaining what you want clearly. You refuse to change the way Finder shows pictures. Double clicking (or CMD o) will show the photos in Preview just like Windows. Tapping Space will show them

Use Quick Look. Simply press Space to instantly preview almost any file you’ve highlighted in Finder. You can use the arrow keys to move to the next file in the finder window below. For multiple files selected you get a film strip in Quick

I love Preview. It was one of the reasons I switched to Mac back in 2010. Another fun feature since we’re all sharing. This works across many native apps. Hold Option and drag to select a block of text. Handy for pulling numbers from a tabl

Lots of reasons. If you’re a gamer with a shiny new PS5 or Xbox then you’ll want the various updates for things like VRR and tweaks to the HDR performance. There are often other fixes and new features too that relate to image or audio quali

When you go into the trackpad settings there are little videos showing what each gesture does. App Exposé is right there. I don’t know how more discoverable it can be.

You don’t even have to use the green zoom button. Just double click the top of the window like in every other OS. The difference is that zooming a window is not the same as maximising. It makes the window as big as the content it contains.
