I've not driven in San Francisco. Are cars allowed to sit and block an entire lane until they can turn left? That is how things worked in the rural town I grew up in, but I can't imagine it working in a city. All the streets in th

The counter argument to this are the Creator 3-in-1 sets. The whole point of these sets is to take apart and rebuild something different, teaching by example the different things you can do. These didn't even exist when we were kids (f

I know! I remember as a child spending forever digging through the Lego pile looking for the right color. I had to reluctantly teach myself that it was okay to build with any color first and then go back and swap out with matching colors af

The libraries in my area must have skipped that generation of technology, but worked similarly. They all operated by handwriting your name and date (some stamped the date) on the card, before eventually switching over to scanned bar codes a

Actually the article says late fees were eliminated entirely in 2019. I wonder if news surrounding that factored into the book being returned, or if it was just coincidence.

The article says the Mac version was a bmapfile which is a rasterized image format, not vector form. That said, they really should have uploaded the original files to archive.org, in addition to the conversion to a more common format.

I like the "grandmothering" practice. Subfields are becoming more and more specialized. As a practitioner and not a researcher, it is not uncommon for me to be unfamiliar with half of the terminology in a paper because it is diffe

For the most part I agree. However, with the number of tabs I have open the close button is usually hidden, and Firefox doesn't show a default icon for websites that don't have a favicon (not sure if this is new or old behavior).

I'm curious as to what changed PGLAF's mind. Blocking those specific works was all that the court ordered 3 years ago. Blocking everything was PGLAF's own decision based on perceived risk of further lawsuits about other works

Exactly. When you are running late to get to the airport, stopping to charge your Tesla is a bigger delay than stopping to gas up a car, so this will likely give them even more people they can gouge. And having a charger at the hotel you st

In addition, the rental car companies sold more of their fleet than typical during the pandemic to help ride-out the large decrease in business. As travel continues to pick up they need to replenish their fleets anyway. Finally it isn'

I'm curious as to how those work out. The modules are too short to fit a VGA, serial, or ethernet port and be flush with the laptop, but I think you could make one that extends further out and above, and would still have some benefits

Yeah, being limited to only 4 ports is a complete non-starter for me especially when you are required to use one of them to charge the laptop. So practically everybody is going to end up filling one of those modular ports with a USB-C modul

GM has bought back the cars of many owners who have asked, but not all. While GM may have drug their feet on buy-backs early on I doubt they would let any individual request get to the point of a lawsuit before changing their mind.

How do you figure? Apartments, duplexes, and smaller homes without garages all have less distance between parking spaces than a house with a garage, not more.
