Epistemic status: Main part is well-supported but may have some minor errors. The parts about potential future lines are inherently speculative. Small Train is Good Train A while ago, I wrote about how elevated trains are the greatest urbanism cheat code, increasing the amount of track miles you can build per dollar (or per year) by a factor of 2-4. And while I don’t have anything else on that order of magnitude, I do have one more easy 20-50% gain: Run shorter trains. The basic idea is simpl

What’s the Deal With That Freaky Bald Creature in ‘Superman’?

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-31 05:20:16

The Mr. Handsome fan club is growing, so naturally, we want to know more about the freaky Creepypasta-looking slender monster featured in Superman. Director James Gunn didn’t exactly pull from the DC Comics library for this very weird character; though there was a Mr. Handsome villain in Catwoman’s lore, they appear to be unrelated. This Mr. Handsome is a Lex Luthor abomination. It appears in his pocket universe as the driver of his raft through the various rows of toxic curiosities and curatio

Drawing for the New Yorker

news.ycombinator.com Liza Donnelly 2025-12-31 09:27:56

Drawing cartoons is an odd profession, I must admit. But someone has to do it. The New Yorker magazine has run cartoons— or drawings, as they like to call them— since its inception 100 years ago. The editors knew how popular satirical art was, and considered it a crucial part of the nascent publication. Not just decoration; far from it. The art was more successful than the writing in that first year! A lot of the process of creating a drawing of this type involves doodling, a lot of observing,

Back in the day, Fortnite copied PUBG by making a battle royale, and now, PUBG is mimicking Fortnite by trying to become more of a platform than a game.

Software is a creative endeavor and a craft. And like any creative endeavor and any craft, it is subject to fashions. About a decade ago, one of those fashions was Hexagonal Rails largely inspired by the DDD book, but also by the original Hexagonal Architecture work by Dr. Cockburn. Some of these applications are now up for their Rails upgrade and an “oil change,” and it’s interesting to see them in the wild and how they get perceived through the lens of the years that have gone by since then.
