It's tablet cases with bluetooth keyboard now.


Even Citroen has an EV Berlingo and that model is the bread and butter of Southern Europe.


To be fair to our ancestors, their sewage composition was much simpler than the exotic chemical cocktail we send down the drain nowadays.


Depends on what Industry was dumping into sewers at the time; there tends to be less of that these days.


irssi had a plugin to read and post to Twitter from IRC, it was neat.


Ticket price doesn't tell the whole story, if those euros are staying in Europe instead of leaving the union and funding someone else's space program.


I assume they don't want wild animals that are ridden with diseases to end in something like cattle feed more than unavoidable.


Also, running over a fawn really bums out the person driving the tractor!


Clicklock is much nicer in Windows than the awkward methods I've found so far with Linux.


I use an ultra wide screen and do both coding and video operations so I'm always having side by side layouts mixed in with tabbed windows.

One typical case is navigating a file manager to grab files that I need to drag and drop on a web UI, or folder/URI slug names I need to keep copying back and forth to use on a workflow.

Another is watching stdout/stderr of a running script and a log tail at the same time.

Sometimes I have tabs of web, file manager and some other app on one side and a terminal on the other as terminal commands are the glue of a workflow.

Or I'll be screening a video on the left and doing edits on the right. Or keeping notes open on the side during a conference call.

Sometimes I'll only have one window in a virtual desktop and ultrawide is too much, so I just have an idle terminal window as padding.

Not having to hunt around for windows then hunting for their edges helps when I'm constantly opening, closing and sizing terminals, file managers and so on and so forth. It simply is faster with tiles.


This will sound silly, but doesn't that hurt your neck? You mention you use a ultra wide screen.

I have one of the "drive in theater" iMacs, and I prefer the windows in the center. It's big enough that if things were on either side, I'd have to crane my neck to focus on either side. I'd hate to have to do that all the time.

I guess if I were to do anything "tile" wize it would be two smaller columns, one on the left, and one on the right, and then the big center as the main focus.


It's still boosting the science profile of the mission to use it as test bed for Americium. There's a lot of science to be done in the Kuiper belt and further out where longevity may matter eventually simply because we wouldn't be sending repeat missions to each dwarf planet out there anytime soon.


So instead of 10% more of the high power density material, you want to use 500% more of the low power density material?


Weight of a single component isn’t the only consideration. Having less heat output on the launch pad is a real benefit. It may take a 200 year mission for the weight to balance out, but having less variation in output is a benefit on day 0.

Further there’s many reasons why someone managing a project may say no to 10% extra plutonium even if the project could benefit from a longer lasting power supply.


Very much this. Specially if any relative has to watch their weight or sugar intake and a lot of "No sugar added" products are getting in the house, a very worrying amount of them are loaded with maltitol and its -ol friends. People don't understand why they are felling sick eating "health food" and go through a substantial amount of grief.
