The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!

If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from […]

You know when you have that one piece of firewood that you can't get a grip on? This one took me a while to get right.

Compared to regular flat grills, these curved ones:

- allow awning shutters to open

- accommodate flowers to grow in planters

- allow occupants to see left and right down the street
A view of a street in Florence of apartment buildings. Mini Street level Windows have security grills which are often decorative. Here a vented window shutter also has an awning section that opens. The curve of the grill allows the awnings to move and not inhibit them. A close-up photo slightly lower than the first one to give perspective A view of two more curved or belly out window grills A completely different window without the grill to demonstrate how the awning portion of the window shutter works

In the plot of "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners", the internet had been destroyed, with only fragments of knowledge left behind, due to a very powerful virus.

It would make a lot more sense if the creators said it was due to AI instead of a computer virus. AI slop is poisoning search and content […]

Insulation becomes important when things are grim.

Heat-retaining Effect of Plaster. To the Editors of THE ARCHITECTS' AND BUILDERS JOURNAL. SIRS,-I am engaged on behalf of the Committee on Fuel Economy of the British Association in making investigations on the consumption of fuel for domestic heating and other purposes with a view to economising the national resources. One branch of this investigation has as its object to determine forms of building construction which will reduce the loss of heat through the walls of a dwelling-house. In this connection I am endeavouring to compare the heat-retaining effect of different kinds of plaster applied to the inner surfaces of walls. There must be many inexpensive compositions known to some of your readers which would probably produce a great effect in this direction I write, therefore, to ask any such persons who are interested in this most important national problem and who are in a position to submit suitable samples to communicate with me at the University College. We have erected in the laboratories here an apparatus capable of making tests of the exact effect of such plaster, and I should be prepared to submit any samples sent to me to that test if it appeared to offer any prospect of success. May I request you, therefore, to ask any of your readers to give us their assistance in this nationally important matter? ARTHUR H. BARKER.

The ceiling within Groningen railway station in the Netherlands is a thing to behold.

Even more so, considering that it's Carton Pierre, which is similar to papier mache, but far more robust and durable.
