We went to the Dunbrody Famine ship exhibit in New Ross, Ireland a few years back. It was a neat exhibit, first they seat you in a dark small room and show a movie detailing the situation, then the wall opens up and the ship is nicely frame

Is this an actual problem to be solved? I would not want our repo "attached" to devices capable of one click operations.

I enjoy coming up with questions deemed so politically incorrect that alexa responds with a BONK noise.

Ended up on Elmendorf Air Force Base (at the hospital) this way once as a little kid in the early 1980s. The bus actually went from Anchorage onto the air force base and then called it quits. That was definitely my station of despair. &quot

I switched away from full solid copper floods due to this. (Even with nice soldering equipment.) I still use full size floods but they are more like basket-weave patterns, probably 50% copper. I rotate the pattern on my second inner plane.

Four layer boards are so cheap now, it's all I choose. I usually do two internal ground planes and route my power on one side unbroken. I haven't made an interrupted return path since watching Rick Hartley videos.

I love perl. I work with it every day still, 25 years later. I recently rewrote a cellular provisioning API in it to be fully object oriented. I do not write it to win an obfuscation contest. I like it to be read as easily as possible. It i

My friends and I played Wizardry on an Apple II with a green screen for so long that it would blast out the green receptors in our eyes for a while afterwards, and everything would be pink hued.

Tethering to 5G and LTE enabled cell phones in this situation is very common. They are certainly getting rid of their broadband fiber, cable or DSL before their discounted cell services.

Surely you can very discretely and ergonomically use this... if you move your lid jussttt above the point where it decides it is closed and then tap.

As a 1970s kid, a tiny brilliant red LED 7-segment digit is the most nostalgic display possible!

I bet the Earth chuckles at our attempts to label either of these the largest living things. I guess as Guinness Book entries go, these will do until something surpasses them. I've got to think that there is a more massive fungus in th

The first six weeks are pretty intense. The recovery is amazing as how fast liver labs drop and how fast the jaundice yellow clears. I would probably say six weeks is a fair figure until you are a whole new person!

Speaking for liver transplants, they are a many hour traumatic affair. My daughter lost and received more than her entire blood volume during hers. Initial recovery is extremely immunosuppressed and some of the drugs we had to handle with m
