I believe IBM Generalized Markup Language evolved into SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) which was used heavily at CERN when Tim Berners-Lee was working on HTML, which is…

Hexagon is very prominent in precision manufacturing through their dimensional measurement robots (CMM Coordinate Measurement Machine) and other metrology software/hardware. This i…

One counterpoint I can think of: most forms of electronic payment require the Internet now. Credit card transactions, Venmo et al. You could transition back to cash but there would…

it's interesting that the drops tend to collect in straight lines. I wonder what's happening in the sim code to keep them from collecting into round droplets?

It is strange to me that omarchy took off and not Regolith Desktop [1], which is a very similar project, and has been around a lot longer. I suppose the DHH effect is real. There i…

It sounds like a natural expansion of AWS GovCloud offerings to me. Servicing the US government and it's contractors has been very lucrative for AWS. Taking that successful model i…

I don't think you could 100% nail the Win7 glass or Win11 mica material without having transparency effects that have access to the compositor pipeline. But that doesn't mean we sh…

HomeAssistant's dependency requirements are so complex as to make a deployment of it essentially read-only. Trying to mod it with HACS is so hard that I gave up even though I write…

Another selfish reason: web pages just work a lot better when you use the actual HTML elements, especially when you compose them together. React projects often mix several componen…

factorio needs to be studied in general for the quality of the software, it's performance, and the UI. The UI has the best productivity-focused design I've ever seen in any GUI app…

Very cool that you can use the XCode interface builder to build the UI. I wonder why this type of style hasn't caught on with React and friends? It would be really nice to be able …

I'm getting the impression that this worked becaused the LLM had hoovered up all the previous research on this topic and found a reasonable string of words that could be a hypothes…

Maybe the best way to have the best of both worlds is to ensure well-established areas of research are open to “outsider art” submissions on the topic?

this plane doesn't look like it was made to produce a low boom. It has a very distinct von Karman ogive [1] fuselage and typical delta wings. I would guess that it's shape is prima…

Could you elaborate on that? Why would the exhaust reflecting off the shock wave cause damage to the nozzle?

this is most likely due to the absolute positioning. position: absolute will use the top-left corner of the closest ancestor that is "positioned" as the origin for it's layout [1].…

Can you talk about why separation of concerns is useful? I like it too, but I have a hard time trying to articulate why I prefer it over keeping everything in the same file. I've s…

It would super cool if they eventually make this a part of the phone OS and all you would need to do is buy a headset and plug it in over USB-C. Same idea as Dex, different display…

One feature of i3 and friends that I really relied on when I was using a laptop as my main computer was the tab mode. Being able to tab between windows on half of your screen while…
