I know of a couple in NSW: one in Albion Park, and another in Bomaderry. They work well when the peak-hour traffic tends to block some of the entrances. You can use the lights to allow the blocked entrances to flow, then turn the lights off

There's more to architecture than just the façade, which is what people are rating when they are just looking at photos of the exterior. The interiors, structure, and services, etc. of modern building are often far superior to older on

None of them — they were all ugly hacks, and we wasted stupid amounts of time and brainpower testing sites and then researching and applying the hacks. I still hate Microsoft for 'winning' the browser war and then letting IE stagn

Dylan: I don't like his singing, but some of his songs are quite beautiful. Musk: The Tesla S and 3 are quite good looking cars. Much better than most of the 'blobs' on the road. The X and Y are a bit chunky. Cybertruck is ug

How can you write an article on autonomous cars and not mention Tesla? Clearly in bad faith.

I always thought the Goode homolosine was kind of ugly and 'lumpy' at the edges. The similar Boggs eumorphic projection is really nice though.

Their own emblem and flag features a world map (an azimuthal equidistant projection, centred on the North Pole).

> so its base is actually now “Mercator rolled into a tube.” Somehow that’s even worse! Well better really. It is a cylindrical projection, so it's more like "Mercator before it's unrolled".

I like that one too, but i think the similar Boggs eumorphic projection has nicer lines.

I've done some serious navigation off charts, but never once used a Mercator projection — all the charts i've used have been Lambert conformal conic projection.

Though in this case the software mitigation was turbine overspeed detection, not overtemperature detection.

"We do not know why we are here. We do not know who built the Silo. We do not know why everything outside the Silo is as it is. We do not know when it will be safe to go outside. We only know that day is not this day."

Really nice looking app. I like the ambiguity of the name. Was initially confused as to what the total of the ring was — took me a moment to realise it's 100% of the time allocated, not the whole day or the workday. I'd probably w

I think the divide is pretty clear. If the app needs connectivity for data, and is just text/images/video, then yes, it should be a web app. e.g. news sites, social media, forums, etc. (It's a site, not an app). If an app nee

It will be ironic if China-fuelled opposition to data centres in the US is what makes orbital data-centres economically viable. A bit of an own-goal.

They can't leave it alone. People at organisations change, and new people always want to put their own stamp on things. "Made some incremental improvements" doesn't look good on the resumé.

Cheaper mass to orbit is undoubtably good, but not all mass, shielding or otherwise, needs to be lifted from Earth.

I wonder if that's a common thing generally or not. Definitely I should add it as an option though. Also whether the year starts at the top or bottom of the dial. The planets do go around the Sun anticlockwise when viewed looking down
