10 years ago Wayland was in much worse state. It started being good in the last few years, though some features are still lacking.

But Romania gave us the Dragostea din tei (Numa-numa song :)

In Croatia only Zagreb got changed to 10 000 (because capital), the rest stayed the same.

Exactly, the threat of using nukes needs to be credible in order to work as a deterrence.

> And they are also… a math nightmare. Differential geometry. Integrals. Oh my… Which is probably why most games don’t even dare.

Wonder if cubic parabola (used by some railways, and visually near indistinguishable from clothoid) has easier maths.

This collision happened precisely because of unfortunate circumstance that break in the rail and derailment happened just before the switch leading to the opposite track. Without the "help" of the switch, carriages of the first train likely wouldn't have invaded the second track.

Well, they could add speakers that make vroom-vroom noises.

The Falcons have all three engines tail mounted, so not the same "type" of trijet as MD-11.

AFAIK it should be a different system because the car asks the key first (same system as Keyless GO).

Well, AI is plain wrong. Fuel cutoff switches on Airbus are in the same position as in Boeing planes, below the throttle.

Technically, 2 EU countries: Greece and Cyprus.

True, but that EU regulation is based on the ground truth of much less spacious roads and cities.

You might consider it an eyesore, but the river is hardly ruined by it.

I fully agree with that. Just a bit disappointed that Python is not even considering to fix/replace it's problematic datetime library (as far as I know). Excellent third-party library is good, but an excellent standard library is even better!

Fortunately, JS is getting Temporal, which will be great. No such thing on the horizon for Python yet.

Not only that, some fonts have a vast number of tweaks available: https://rsms.me/inter/#features

Railway crossings are not especially deadly if you're a train passenger. Most deaths are from train-on-train collisions or overspeed derailments.

All newly sold vehicles in EU need to have either reversing camera or sensors starting from July 7, 2024

Indeed, thanks for the correction

EU requires them too

If you think of watt-hour as "joule times 3600" then it makes sense

kWh/h is a proper unit for average energy consumption over time, if a bit weird.

> These are very important factors to keep in mind, even if the absolute numbers seem small. Expensive electricity makes everything else more expensive as well. It touches every facet of our lives in a way not even food does.

It has to be noted that in most EU countries electricity for business is quite cheaper than for households.

Which has been corrected since.

I'd assume quakes transform much more energy into tsunami waves than meteorite hit does.

Sounds like a "shortage of (quality) labor" problem. Industrial products are great, but craftsmanship is lacking because almost nobody can afford it.

> I was hoping for a list of shortest travel times between stations in Europe, as more of a thought/data experiment. Or put another way; which two train stations in Europe have the least distance between them?

You mean most distance you can travel in X hours?

> I'm often surprised how well it still goes with the complexity of modern aircraft.

Most of that "complexity" are systems that help the pilots, reduce workload and possibility of error. It's really hard to crash a modern airliner.

> It also complicates the practical application of the hat in some decorative contexts, where extra work would be needed to manufacture both a shape and its reflection

And people say that mathematical research has no practical applications
