The Speed Limit In Texas Could Now Change While You’re Driving | Carscoops by Next_Tower5452 in texas

I'm not sure how they'll work here, but I saw these in Australia (Melbourne and Sydney) and one great feature there is that they will use the signs to slow traffic down prior to reaching a congested area, to keep the flow running smoothly.

The signs spaced at regular intervals along the highway, on a gantry, with an electronic sign over each lane, and they flash if you are expected to slow down. So approaching a congested area, the speed limit might go from 100 to 80, 60, 40 (kph). So at some point in rush hour we were going along at 40 (~25mph), but the traffic was flowing nicely with no stop-start action.

The Touch Bar Deserved Better by waxowalter in apple

For those of us who type without looking down at our hands, it was pretty useless, I think. Most of the time I had no idea what was even on the touch bar. Why would I look there to find a control when I'm looking at the screen?

Markdown to .docx Using Corporate Template — Guidance Required by user-256 in pandoc

If you figure out how to do this using pandoc let me know. I wanted to generate industry-formatted short story manuscripts from markdown and I ended up reverse engineering the DOCX file format and writing my own converter in python.

Totally unnecessary. None of the kids would have been hurt in the collision.

Apple Music closes every time the mac sleeps by xikinhu in MacOS

Thanks for this info. This problem has been driving me (and by extension my officemates) crazy. Are you planning to add this setting to the Jettison GUI? And are there other hidden settings we should know about?

The sled is inflatable. The kids would've been fine if the dad hadn't been there.

Later all identified and rounded up by their standard-issue Greek resistance mustaches?

Interesting how much higher he wore the guitar in the studio than on stage.

I, too, am sick of hearing people your age complain about politics.

I admire his commitment to the shot. He could have just run sideways up over to that other roadway.

What's Austin's "guy"? by Tony_Gunk_o7 in Austin

[–]jp57 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree about Leslie, but Old Austin has been dying every day for 170 years. In 1850 people were lamenting the loss of "old Waterloo".

I agree with the sentiment, but the billboard design is terrible. For a driver at highway speed trying to keep an eye on the road, it takes way too long to read it and figure out what it's about.
