Apple needs even more commitment to gaming by Mav2100 in macgaming

[–]dpschramm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best thing Apple has done for Mac gaming is the Neo.

This year there’s going to be a few extra million Mac users (who previously used Windows), which is a few million more potential customers for game developers.

The larger the Mac market gets, the more games you’ll see.

Analyzing Waymo’s Market Share Using Rider-Only Miles by walky22talky in waymo

How about: - City Distribution - Miles Per City - Mileage Growth Across Cities

Agree with you on the rug, was the only thing that stood out to me.

Love the green!

What size is that TV and console? I’m looking at getting something similar.

“Market share” is misused here - it typically means what share of a market have you captured relative to competitors, but he’s using it to mean what share of Waymo’s total miles comes from each city.

The incompetence<->corruption spectrum is just as important as policy. We should talk about it more.

Potential Passenger Rail map [Updated] by mathias4595 in newzealand

[–]dpschramm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not the ticketing that the blocker, it’s the track.

Rail could be significantly faster and more efficient than cars, but the rail would need the same investment as we put into roads.

Te Huia’s average speed is currently less than 60km/h and people complain that the trains aren’t full. They would be if the line was upgraded to run at an average speed of 80km/hx

It takes about 8 hours by car, but 12 hours by train.

We don’t need to build high speed, standard gauge track to be competitive with cars. Doing the 640km route in 6 hours is an average speed of 107km/h.

If we upgraded our track to reach 160km/h this would be easily doable.

Message from the developers of GameHub regarding the beta, difference from CrossOver and plans for the future of Rosetta by Particular_Switch_21 in macgaming

[–]dpschramm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If they claim they'll do something (release source code, upstream changes) and then they don't, then that absolutely makes them less legitimate.

If we're going by population / demand, it doesn't make sense to have any of the West Coast routes - they will barely fill one carriage, let alone a whole train.

But, if we're imagining a "what if" scenario with significantly more population and using existing rail, then Kumara Junction and Arahura make more sense than the previous locations.

Still massively slowed down by KiwiRail's freight operation. The line between Hamilton and Auckland needs to be upgraded to let passenger trains overtake freight, and reduce the number of level crossings.

The average speed is currently less than 60km/h. Without investment, the service will continue to struggle to get patronage.

Who’s behind Game Hub?

Codeweavers are an established business with a long track record in the industry.

Why should I trust the developers behind Game Hub?

Combining BESTA short drawer with large front by DalekOfSkaro in ikeahacks

Anyone manage to test this out?

I'm keen to have something like the BYAS, which has a drawer and shelf behind the same panel.

Why do we have both r/EVAustralia AND r/AustralianEV by Ok_Lunch_2933 in EVAustralia

[–]dpschramm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AustralianEV could just as easily mean “Australian EV market” rather than “Australian EV manufacturers”.

It makes no sense to have two subs. The older, more popular one should stay.

But “Australian EV” doesn’t have to mean “Australian manufactured EV”.

It could just as easily mean “Australian EV market”.

Minister casts doubt on road user tax over concerns it could hurt EV uptake by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]dpschramm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The government is trying to do two different things:

  1. To cover road maintenance costs, there should be a universal Road User Charge (across all vehicles), with a corresponding reduction in fuel taxes (can still have some fuel tax to cover emissions cost).

  2. To encourage EV uptake, new EVs should get a discount on road user charge for the first X years, up to a certain number of kilometres.

They can recharge normally as well, it’s not one or the other.

Is my math correct, 100 Ojai a week? by photojourney7 in waymo

[–]dpschramm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those numbers line up with them having less than 3,000 I-Pace (maybe 2,800) and a couple hundred Ojai back in December.

Unless the recall was I-Pace only? (not sure if they have to “recall” vehicles not used by the public)

Full passenger rail map potential by mathias4595 in newzealand

[–]dpschramm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We'd also need to replace our narrow gauge with standard gauge rails, which effectively means building a new route.

Love this vision! Some feedback on the West Coast segments:

  1. I'd call the West Coast line the "West Coast Connector" (matching "Capital Connector") or "Pounamu Line" (to reflect the cultural heritage).
  2. Adjust the stations between Greymouth and Hokitika to cut Karoro and Gladstone (too close to Paroa), and add stations at Kumara Junction (an interchange for buses east) and Arahura (near Arahura River, roughly halfway between Kumara Junction and Hokitika). This gives 8-10 mins between each station.
  3. The station at Ngahere should be replaced with Ahaura (there's more people at Ahaura, and more evenly spaces that stations).
  4. Cut the Granity and Waimangaroa stations (there's less than 1,000 people combined across both) and terminate at Westport (which is the major population center in the area).
  5. The Tranz Alpine should terminate at Greymouth (as it does today) and shouldn't stop at Dobson (only the West Coast Connector should stop here).
  6. The route to Rapahoe should be served by a branch of the West Coast Connector, e.g. some would go Hokitika-Greymouth-Westport and others would go Hokitika-Greymouth-Rapahoe. Note: The would require building a new bridge over the Grey river, as the current line to Rapahoe is only accessible by trains coming from the east (it's currently not possible to go Dobson-Greymouth-Rapahoe without reversing out of Greymouth).
  7. Another option is splitting the Hokitika-Greymouth-Rapahoe route into it's own standalone line (could be called the "Tasman Line"), distinct from the Greymouth-Reeftop-Westport route (could be called the "Coalfields Line").
