Size matters!!
Not really computer-related, unless (like me) you need a computer for more-than-basic arithmetic, but it is geeky…
Found this piece, by Rhett Allain, on Wired this morning. He starts:
THERE WAS A bunch of snow in Boston this year—and some of it’s still there. Yes, in July some of the snow has not yet melted. Why? There are a couple of reasons, some of them have to do with physics.
He ends:
But will the Boston snow pile melt? Sure, it will just take time. Hopefully it will melt before the next snow storm.
Oh. My. God.
In between, he does a great job of explaining the wherefores and whys in an amusing fashion. Check it out: It’s July. Why on Earth Is There Still Snow in Boston?
