The map is wrong - but the article is right - it mentions that the longer route higher up on the peninsula from Skabo to Flode has been chosen but most internet maps show the shortest route from Eide (which has not been chosen). There is only one map I found showing the correct slighly longer route at https://www.tu.no/artikler/kjemper-fortsatt-for-ny-trase-for...

Very nice...the maritime vessels view seems very sparsely populated...especially in the Strait of Hormuz.

It doesn't work on the GVB Amsterdam local trains or trams...just the NS trains. There are some routes within Amsterdam that have NS trains paralleling GVB trains, might help save money on those.

I like the term "compute famine" - it appears that all AI infrastructure is maxed out globally.

8 GB is not enough...even the $699 model has only 8 GB.

I like this format and I also like irreverent humor like the BOFH chronicles... can I submit content for consideration in the next issue ?

Imagine if the walls were thin resonant panels and every time the Captain says "make it so" it will reverberate and sound like a commandment from God !

I love how they have documented the wall coverings from all the TNG episodes in minute detail.

They just pushed a new redesigned page for pull request diffs- must have bloated the DOM.

I agree - we need a large example not the toy examples of NeoPixels chained together. Also, in the Github module library, I found only ESP32-C3 modules but the hobbyists use ESP8266 and ESP32 and ESP12-E as well as STM dev modules...I suppose its one of those things where contributors will help populate the library but I don't see instructions on how to build all the artifacts I see in the library - there are atleast 12 artifacts for each module...

Tesla panels and total price after installation is too high to be competitive- only the Powerwall enthusiasts buy panels+powerwalls from tesla. Other panels are so cheap these days and EG4 makes excellent power storage options.

I liked the photo that one of the quoted seismologists, Zhigang Peng from Atlanta, supplied to the author of this article - which depicts the seismologist standing in front of a sign marking the San Andreas fault on a visit to California. Its just the kind of photo a visiting seismotourist would take !

I once waited 20 mins in the Walmart camping section for an associate to come and open the propane gas cylinders cabinet. I noticed other people in other aisles also waiting for locked up items.

I left and went to Target where I was able to grab all the camping supplies I wanted from the shelves and checkout. I avoid Walmart since that day, as almost everything is locked up.
