This is a small discussion of about 1 year old on G+ An interesting power/tech thing….
It serves as a reminder to myself: how far is the gigafactory and when will battery prices really drop.

Dell Dimension 9200 Updated to 8GB. – General Hardware – Desktop – Dell Community
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/24
From old stock, I still had a few of these machines and gave them away maxed out at 8 GB with a Windows x64 installation and SSD.
You need 4 of these: 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 @ 667Mhz non-ECC non-registered memory DIMM. Faster DIMMs work too. Registered DIMMs don’t work.

#Maths #fun – great graphics help to understand math
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/17
Good visualisations make math so much easier to grasp, so I completely agree with Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) who wrote “Why didn’t my Maths teachers use this kind of graphic? Why wasn’t it in the expensive book?”

Actual source: Binomial theorem: Geometric explanation – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia picture File:Binomial expansion visualisation.svg – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (red/purple/blue) and File:Binomial theorem visualisation.svg – Wikimedia Commons (red/orange/green/blue)
I like the last picture best (I wonder though what colour blind people think about them).

BBC – Autos – Lego’s 2,704-piece Porsche is not a toy
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/06/01
Reminder to self: see if lego set 42056 has been released yet:
The Danish brickmaker’s new Technic 911 GT3 RS set is beautiful, desirable and slightly scary — not unlike the actual car.

Aiding parkinson paitients: TEDxDelft 2015 | Mileha Soneji | Empathy is the Key to Great Innovation – TEDxDelft
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/04/04
Her uncle had parkinson. This simple yet innovative solution helped him big time:
she questioned how her uncle walked up and down the stairs. Surprisingly, he was able to do this without any problem, but as soon as he stopped, he had trouble walking again. She decided to apply a “staircase illusion” to the floor by having the illusion of a staircase flowing throughout her uncle’s house. To her surprise, this simple solution was able to help her uncle move around the house faster and easier.

The latest innovation from the media – CommitStrip: @WIRED and @parool are out
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/24
Fun: The latest innovation from the media | CommitStrip: block visitors that use adblockers.
The real fun: the first comments G+ re-share “The end of the ad-blocking wars (and some media)” are from people that exactly do what’s in the third frame: bye bye adblock-blocker site.
For good reason too: viewing ads has become a clear and present danger to our security and privacy.
I won’t even bother trying ad-blocker-blocker-blockers.
- If a site blocks me, they’re out.
- If they don’t block me, I share their interesting information with attribution.
- If they have a cookie wall that prevents seeing what I want to share, they’re out too.
@WIRED and @parool are out for reasons 1 and 3.
