The iPod was discontinued in 2022. I’m guessing there’s already a lot of kids who have no idea where the term “podcast” comes from.
The Famicom Disk System, which uses a kind of floppy disk for the Japanese market NES, had kiosks where you could copy games onto disks. The last of those kiosks were removed in 2003 It overlapped the Game Cube.
It’s funny to see Godzilla in weird contexts.
No, I don’t think that’s a particularly good reason for it all, either.
It wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’ll probably do the job. Depends on what you want to do with it. There’s fewer people choosing this path, which means that when things go wrong, you’ll have fewer sources of information to help.
Some old Dell office PC with a good amount of RAM and an SSD would be just as well.
This plays some kind of role in the debate of systemd being good or not. I’m not sure if goes in the good column or the bad column, but I know it goes into a column.
When drinking with Zefram Cochrane, Deanna Troi had no idea what tequila was. She went to Star Fleet Academy in San Fransisco, and even without warp drive and transporters, that’s not far from the major agave growing regions on Earth. Cadets gonna drink whenever they have the chance, and they’ll seek out non-synthehol stuff if they can.
Agave isn’t being farmed sustainably right now. It could also have been hit hard by Star Trek’s WWIII. It’s possible agave didn’t survive into the 22nd century. Zef may have even been going through the last bottles of it.
Yes, that’s correct. Fuel cell efficiency is over 60%. The best gasoline ICE is around 50%, and hydrogen isn’t going to be much better.
The problem becomes especially apparent when you stack the end to end efficiency together. Grid -> battery for battery EVs, and grid -> electrolysis -> fuel cell for hydrogen. There’s a couple of different ways to run these numbers (are you using 120VAC or 240VAC or DC, for example), but when using like-for-like comparisons as much as you can, batteries tend to win at efficiency by a lot. Running hydrogen through an ICE is only going to make its biggest flaw even worse.
Edit: there is a recent breakthrough in fuel cell efficiency that might put it on par with batteries. Note that even if it works in production cars, a fuel cell would be turning an electric motor, not an ICE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISuUlc8widc
Speed bumps are often not so much for speed control. People slow down for them and then speed right back up. They don’t work for that.
It’s often to encourage people not to cut through neighborhoods that happen to connect to other neighborhoods. They want you to take the main road, not the shortcut.
They also slow down emergency vehicles as much as everyone else. There’s some arguments that they cause more deaths than they save. Not sure on the actual numbers for that, though.
I do the same with lawyers. Some of the Trump lawyers have been so bad that I question the Bar exam’s ability to weed out the worst.
It won’t. Hydrogen has terrible efficiency even when fuel cells are in the pipeline. Putting it in an ICE only makes it worse. It’ll have some racing applications, but that’s it.
If you love that, NASA has a whole 100 page PDF about fasteners:

One particularly notable part is about split lock washers. They’re useless, often detrimental, and need to go away. NASA said so in 1990 and there’s no reason to think this has changed.
A kneepad for my NC Miata. Kept digging my knee into the center console. A pad was the best upgrade I’ve made to that car.
So many women who want his alphabet leg. Poor guy can’t keep up.
That would be a Chromebook.
If it’s enough negative thoughts pile up, they’ll eventually breach a threshold where people avoid the company. I was looking forward to Metroid Prime 4, but I’m thinking of skipping it now.
To piggy back off this comment, I’m surprised the streetcars in Kenosha, WI don’t get brought up much for what we could have:

It began in June 2000. It was done by doing the municipal equivalent of looking for deals on Craigslist; they bought old cars from larger cities and did a little conversion to get the track gauge right.
Can every small town do this? As it stands, probably not. It depends on larger cities having hand-me-down trolleys, and there just aren’t enough cities doing that for it to work on a widespread basis. But I think it does show that there’s a path to doing this in North American small cities if larger cities can get their shit together.
Some people really don’t understand layered security.
Too many of them are programmers.
Einstein said that if you move close to the speed of light, you’ll go forward in time. Therefore, I thought, if you go backwards at close to the speed of light, you’ll go backwards in time.

Anybody who thinks running Windows is easier hasn’t tried to get Tensorflow working on Windows with GPU support.
In theory, it could run on a straight Windows build of Python, but nobody seems to have given that serious consideration. It must go through WSL, but that means passing through the GPU to WSL. When you Google how to do it, you’ll find three different approaches that have been taken over the years, only one of which is valid on modern setups. If you take one of the old approaches, you will likely twist your system in knots and need a complete reinstall to fix.
On Linux, you install the GPU drivers, compile Tensorflow with the GPU flags, and you’re done.
