I think it’s that there are two fiber companies and one was working on New York to São Paulo and São Paulo to Cape Town. The other was working on East London, SA to Puducherry and they signed a joint provisioning agreement. It doesn’t read

If the kites are for trapping animals, wouldn’t the gates be pens to hold them? If you trap 1000’s of antelope or whatever, you can’t kill them all at once, you have to keep them somewhere. These kinda look like stockyards to me.

I don't find them super distracting, but I do miss the days when you could hit the ESC key and stop the animation loop. That ability seems to have disappeared from browsers sometime between when the spinning skulls and under-constructi

I don't know where it started for software, but I can give you an example that predates the web. In the 80s and early 90s my mother was an interior designer at a high end furniture store. There were no prices on the floor models becaus

I saw one of these work at the Annapolis Boat Show a few years ago. Given that it was an October afternoon in Maryland, the angle of the sun was not ideal (and there were a lot of vendor tents in the way). It still made a hot hotdog in abou

Why not build a modern sail powered cargo vessel? A quick back of the napkin calculation puts this ship in the cargo range of a late 19th century clipper. These ships were as fast as modern diesel cargo ships, had relatively small crews (20

I don't really see the long term problem. When light bulbs truly stop needing to be replaced, they will stop being _replaceable_. The market that will disappear is the light socket market. Consumers will buy a lamp with a permanently w

The "enable" password is sort of like the root account on Cisco gear. When you first connect, you're in a low-priv state where you can do simple things like see the uptime of the device, interface info, etc. But to make any c

Does the LLVM introduction tutorial[0] kind of fit what you're suggesting? You learn how to implement a toy language called Kaleidoscope on top of the LLVM infrastructure with one data type (64-bit float), if/else, for loop, and a

Is _that_ why his right hand seems extremely elongated? I've always wondered. Viewed from a steep angle, I imagine it would look quite normal.

And female artists in a similar vein: Lucinda Williams, Brandi Carlile and Gillian Welch immediately come to mind. A great site (IMHO) for keeping up with musicians in the style of these guys is Jessie Scott's musicfog.com. Jessie Scot

Why would it? People always seem to assume that with extremely long lifetimes, humans would still reproduce at roughly the same age as they do now. I just don't believe that would be the case. So many things change with lifetimes that

I think birds might just be better adapted to making highspeed course corrections than deer, squirrels, etc. Plus, they have the advantage of another dimension (and gravity) to use for getting out of the way. Consider also that if a deer is

I don't think time has anything to do with it. Rather it's the solvent in the dry erase marker. I used to use dry erase markers to remove extension numbers from the little tabs on 66 blocks back in the days before IP phones. Somet
