I like how it's pretty much standard to expect emulators to have a WASM port running in the browser at full performance at this point. Atwood's law is 12 years old but still going strong.

The second one was slightly disappointing in that I didn't really see the yellow dots, but rather a flashing red/green. I'm assuming each color was on the screen just a bit too long to blend into yellow for me.
Still, the changing direction motion was great.

"This demonstration plant can produce a thousand litres a day based on renewable energy. That's about five minutes of flying in a Boeing 747"

This is something that absolutely has to happen in today's ever increasing digital world. Companies are making billions from our data and digital footprints, it's time we got a slice of that and a say in how it's used.

Except that nursing is very different from being a doctor.

SPARC is an HTS experiment, showing the viability of compact Q>1 using the technology, showing you don't have to be ITER -size to have successful fusion. It doesn't claim to be and won't be much more than that. An important step, nonetheless.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say No. Will we ever catch one? Maybe. The only way we'll "catch" the next one is if it slams into the Earth.

Interesting that it might be related to the African wild cat, and thus to the Sardinian one ("su gatu areste") as well.

Calling “a Garrard, an audiophile turntable” is the most laughable thing I’ve ever read in the Times. Yes, it’s a belt drive table (although there may have been some with idler wheels) but, audiophile, no. A starter table like a Thorens, or a Rega, might count, but a Linn or any of the true audiophile tables might start to qualify. The difference between an analog record on a great system and a. Digital mp3 on anything would make most people who love music cry at what’s missing in the digital version.

Could someone identify which year model this was? I think that it'll be useful for some users that are worried about their macs.

It is possible to grow economically within a constrained energy budget, as the lever metaphor suggests. With efficiency, it is even possible to double the population… But I find it very hard to believe in a continued economic growth simultaneously with a declining energy budget, especially when the economic aspect is facing a cliff of massive debt. The only way out is good ole industrialism on a massive scale in such a scientific way to keep cooking dinner and not spoil the garden.

Edge is looking more appealing now. Although PiHole is still the bomb because it also blocks in app adds.

Authorities in all countries need to start dishing out serious penalties including jail time to those playing these games with laser beams. Otherwise, there's going to be a serious crash that could kill 150 or more besides doing major damage if the plane comes down onto a populous area as is likely since these incidents seemed to usually occur near airports.
