I think both are good, it's nice to have variety. It was very satisfying as a user to think that the photo of all the people might be of the Egyptian revolution in 2011, then end up getting the year exactly right. Some photos are inher

4878, avg 2.4 years off. Way better than I thought I'd do, I think I just got lucky. I agree that it's a lot like chronophoto.app, but that also has freeplay. This has a nicer looking UI but I think a worse feature set. In particu

Oof yeah I can see how a roundabout would cause a headache. I really enjoy the trolleybuses; there are some plans in place to expand the system, but not enough IMO. We also have both streetcars and trolleybuses, and some strange junctions l

"No steam locomotive in the world had ever been run with in-cab digital signalling – until now." The word "digital" is doing a lot of work here: here in the US, the Pennsylvania Railroad had in-cab signaling back in the

Do the poles fall off the wires a lot? Our trolley buses in Seattle have a bit of a problem with that. According to the folks I know in San Francisco, theirs do too. They're great otherwise though. Seattle's newer trolley buses ca

Huh, I've only heard the term in the video game Cyberpunk 2077. I didn't know it was a term outside of that

Sounds great, even from so limited a platform. One octave is enough to have some fun with, if you're creative. Would have been nice to be able to combine the stops, but the plenum at least gives you a solid sound. You can really hear t

Seattle's streetcars have been changed on a whim, check out the Broadway extension. Just because they've laid tracks doesn't mean nimbys can't prevent them from running.

It depends what orientation you mount the gyroscope in, but yeah the "correct" way would be to make it axis vertical to limit pitch and roll

I successfully made "explore your ass and you will see god". I'm not sure why I made it, but it's there, at least for now. https://fridgepoem.com/#x=-4636&y=-8233 I don't have a lot to add to th

I like the "Click OK to terminate" error. As though it wants to make sure it has my permission to crash.

Here's a neat paper about Boeing's use of CAD and CAM in the 50s and 60s. I particularly like the story about their first computer-made part drawings. There were no printers, and plotters were too inaccurate; but they had CNC mill

Yes, it's disingenuous. Free means $0.00.

Well do you talk about Nissan Leafs, or Nissan Leaves? I'd probably use the former

I tried this with my personal Google drive and am not really using the numbers. It's just a little extra work to set up. I don't see much of a benefit to it personally, but if you do then great. The important thing is to have a sy

They're siding with the Republicans because they don't want to be seen agreeing with the folks who hate what the Israeli government has been doing in Gaza; Netanyahu especially so. So the strongly pro-israel sources are too biased

Apologies in advance for nitpicking a small detail. In lesson 9, you say "The CEO of the Perplexity.ai search platform argues that AI has made blue links obsolete. "But without sources you are driving blind." Isn't the e

Then how come your URL has two acronyms in only seven characters /s No, I know what you mean. There's a balance between using the right lingo to communicate clearly with subject matter experts (SMEs if you will) and communicating

True. But the article states at the bottom that they "do not skew data for any purpose", and this is literally the definition of skewing the data.

I don't think it's very honest to include the Cybertruck in Las Vegas that was packed full of gasoline and fireworks. Electric cars do catch fire occasionally, but they don't explode unless you put explosive stuff inside.

What about dryer motors? I mean, I don't much care what rpm the dryer runs at, but it should change speed with the grid frequency right?

One way to tell that a video isn't worth my time is if after the intro they say "To tell this story, we need to go back to 1724" or whatever. If they're going way back in time to explain a modern concept, they're of

What about for microcontrollers? I've seen some sequences of fairly specific capacitor values for 3.3V power in some microcontroller datasheets, and I always wondered how much that mattered.

Here's what I originally typed out before googling: The "something about the geometry" is called caster, and is the same effect that makes the front casters on a shopping cart go straight: the point where the steering axis in
