My take was that Metro was flat to leverage finally-computationally-and-energy efficient scaling hardware. All design elements were simple primitives with overlaid text, with limited texturing.it was a design of the hardware of the time.

The sad part is how most people will accept catastrophic device failure as a fact of life of their social standing, and feel like they have no recourse in being sold a dangerous product.

A shoe-fitting fluoroscope! I’m only half-joking, but one using terahertz radiation would be very handy to have while shoe-shopping with children. Kids can’t reliably tell you the fit of their shoes, and some footwear doesn’t yield to th

Why no control inputs then? Surely, the plane could still be commanded in absence of engine power.

A long time ago, I had a chat with a nurse executive who rose up the ranks. Her advice was to stick to a position until the butterflies settle (or approximately q 5 years). Nursing is known for lifers on single units, and personal growth do

It feels like Apple’s announcements for iPad OS are telegraphing that docking might be supported in yet-to-be-released iPhones.

You mention rapid debulking following an infusion. That must have been a surreal experience. Congratulations! How does the treatment you received compare to the current standard of care? Would current therapies also result in rapid debulkin

It’s hard to engage in rational good-faith discussion about problem dog breeds because most folks have already made up their mind, and there’s no changing it. The chances of someone surrendering their dog to which they are bonded after read

It seemed especially badass when the model number was the CRW-F1, released in 2002. It was also cool because the activity would blink purple (orange + blue) during writing. This set it apart when blue LEDs were all the rage.

You’re talking about EMU/DMUs versus locomotives. Higher-speed travel is less efficient with an MU than with a locomotive-pulled train. Higher-speed is important when North America is so large. See also: https://thebeaverton

Apple used to have to roll-their-own to hedge their bets. For example, Safari and iWork came about when there was a possibility that Microsoft would pull support for IE and Office for Mac. Now it’s done for momentum.

It sounds like a general rant about chicken tax workarounds for personal mobility where those modes of transport reek of personal entitlement. There are e-bikes (1) that are essentially electric Vespas with unusable pedals sticking out the

More interesting to me is how this tech was programmed. There would have been some external unit to set parameters.

I can second the OP. Children can be wildly different, and development can be influenced both ways. The age gap between children also matters. Yes, children can piggyback off the achievements of their older sibling in social development and

The most interesting part to me is that with 2 MB of RAM and a 68030, it’s essentially a late-1990s/early-2000s Palm device in desktop form.

CANDU 9 and Advanced CANDU reactors were developed and built during a time when Canada had no active military nuclear program.

Wait, what? There are also a number of countries that operate nuclear plants purely for civilian electricity production. Military applications are not the primary motivator. Instead, civilian energy demands and energy independence are the m

There are metal sleepers that sit on a concrete pad. The challenging part is the rail is encased in concrete that enables drivers to drive over the tracks. Getting to the sleepers would take weeks of jackhammering plus more time to repour t

Given the timelines and lead times for production, I assume this was conceptualized on a mid-1960s acid trip.

Toronto has 83 km of TTC-gauge streetcar track. 99% of it is set in concrete. This would take a little longer than 2 days.
