Once I learn that language, how do I maintain it?

The way non-English speakers do it: watch content on the internet in that language, listen to podcasts or simply read things written on that language.

The internet it’s a great tool to learn and practice any language, in the same way that it’s a great way to learn English for the rest of us.

Williams has been using different colors. Could well be them. The’ve used yellow, orange and pink, I think. Maybe they also used blue. But I’m pretty sure someone used blue.

You’re right, it’s painted. I saw that later.

I was trying to remember, because I saw a car covered to the brim in blue flo-vis, and it was one of the blue cars, but I can’t remember which one it was. Could be Alpine, Williams, or even RB.

RB, Haas and Ferrari doing the most number of laps

Weren’t they using blue flo-vis?

Apparently, no, nothing important.

Three! there are two big openings on the shoulders, behind the halo, to the sides of the pilot’s head.

Look at this chunky boys!

The top part looks like an open shark mouth (well, half of it).

That was the “hard disk” XD

You know, with so many frameworks with the weirdest names, I honestly don’t know if people are just joking or not…
“Yeah! just use turtle and chubby” “Oh! I prefer tuktuk and lollipop”
Funny bit: I totally made those up, then went to GitHub, and found out there are real projects called like that. Lol!

This is the answer for non-developer people (most people out there, actually).

Use the code to build a time machine, go back to the 1960s and learn to program using only text… /s

Now, seriously: normally, if it’s an app, look for the “Releses” on the right. If there’s a binary (compiled app) to download, it will be there. If the developers are cool, they’ll include a download link directly on the Read Me file you see when you arrive at the repository.

This reminds me when football players sign for Real Madrid, it’s funny that, for all of them, signing for the team is their “childhood dream”. I think it’s just a PR thing that’s done for big teams, with lots of history. I think Alonso was joking about that. I think any professional driver will always be committed 100% to the team they drive for, and in the case of Ferrari, knowing how passionate tifosi can be, it’s not a bad idea to say that you love the team as much as they do. I honestly don’t care about those kind of statements, as they’re crafted by PR people to appeal to the fans. It’s like post-race interviews: it’s always a bunch of pre-rehearsed phrases, except in the uncommon occasion when a driver really says what they feel, and they have a PR nightmare XDDDD

Oh! It’s green… /s

No, it’s not. That means those who are born after 2050 are guaranteed to witness a catastrophic climatic event in their lifetime… Those could well be my grandchildren (if they’re ever born). I’m already suggesting my son not to have kids in the future, if things don’t radically change.

Tipping point of the AMOC: 2025 to 2095 with 95% confidence levels.

The blue led was released in 1993. I remember reading an article in Wired magazine (back when magazines were published on paper) about the invention. Gladly, the article is still available online: https://www.wired.com/1995/03/blue-laser/

I talked with some friends about the “true boo-roo” led, and the phrase stuck with us (that’s why I still remember the article). At the time (almost 30 years ago) we had no idea how important the invention was, even when we realized that it allowed for rgb led light.

But we had no idea leds would be miniaturized to be used in screens and be as ubiquitous as they are today. Living through all this technology evolution has been quite the ride.

The funny this is: in the past, they used to unveil that year’s contender. You got to see the real car. But now, they don’t want to show what they’ve been doing, so the event is supposed to be the unveiling of the livery… only that there’s not much livery left to see. :P

Really, to unveil last years car, with a few blotches of color and a the names of the sponsor, I don’t know why they even bother. You don’t get to see the real car until race 1. They don’t even bring the whole package to testing.

That’s why I don’t even bother anymore. There’s nothing to see in this events. It’s useless (except for the sponsors). Just check the photos the day after in social media, and be mildly disappointed then.

Some cities are replacing HPS with LED. Lamps are changed as they break, or by sections.

HPS vs LED lamps. LED are blue compared to HPS.
