It seems like a pretty good space filling method for a worm. Probably also has something to do with not eating away the leaf your worm body trailing behind you is clutching.

What did you expect, the ~~Gilbert~~Hilbert curve? Wait, is this actually a rough Hilbert curve?

Edit: Gilbert? Why autocorrect? Why? I know no Gilberts. This is the first time I've ever intentionally typed Gilbert.

Ron Elving wrote the article, it's his article published by NPR. That distinction matters because NPR is not some monolithic liberal mouthpiece, despite what zealots on either side might have you believe. Moreover, his opinion piece seems unique in offering any sliver lining to a Trump presidency. All of the other coverage I've heard on NPR about Trump, specifically not Republicans in general, has been resoundingly and consistently negative.

Just so long as you don't live in a right to Wolf state.

I pretty sure that's not what non-Eucludian means. It's not just built on a rounded surface. The lines of latitude and longitude we define on a globe may exhibit non-Eucludian geometry, but that doesn't mean your house is non-Eucludian.

These things are non-Eucludian: parallel lines that diverge or converge; triangles with interior angles don't add up to 180 degrees; hallways that appear perfectly straight, but also intersect with themselves; square rooms where every wall is perpendicular, but opposite walls aren't always parallel. Brain breaking stuff, not "all of our geometry". That would be dumb.

PCs are already modular though, and have been for basically the entire time people have used the term, unless you buy them from a vendor like Dell or HP. This article isn't about Intel creating some new universal standard, it's about Intel creating yet another competing standard (that they control) so they can get in on the vendor lock-in party.

They must have been storing your password in plaintext on their end in order for that to work.

Wheels are so boring! Why can't they just innovate?!

This video says it both ways I've heard. The white people around me pronounce it like the one with the union jack (heavy emphasis on the B), the Spanish speakers pronounce it more like the version with the American flag background (ironic). Most of the other pronunciation videos I could find seem to be made by AI voices and mangle the pronunciation in a myriad of ways. This other video has an actual person speaking well (I can't speak to the rest of the content of the video).

I've been mocked and had some people outright pretend they don't understand what I'm saying when I pronounce guanábana correctly.

This is a fun experiment, but it's not precisely the peaks and troughs of the actual waves themselves that you're seeing, it's the maximums and minimums of the amplitude from those waves interfering with their reflections. You see the interference pattern, not the waves.
