Most of Chrome's source code comes from Google's free and open-source software project known as Chromium, but Chrome is licensed as proprietary freeware. WebKit was the original rendering engine, but Google eventually forked it to create the Blink engine; all Chrome variants except iOS used Blink as of 2017. b570b717b84e1b1d.jpg KHTML started in 1998, Apple's fork in June 2005. db0d379b9cd84614.jpg A blue Technic beam bent at an angle of approximately 53 degrees. adc8d689e0a674e0.jpg Render of a Lego Technic grid of right triangles, specifically ones made of Pythagorean triples (7, 9, 11). The "lattice" is a backdrop of Lego studs. The triangles are made of Technic beams, which have holes of the same size and spacing as the studs. Therefore it's possible to lay out beams along the lattice in horizontal and vertical direction, and have their holes align perfectly with the lattice studs. It's also possible to lay beams diagonally and have some holes align with the lattice - but this is not possible at all angles. However, triangles where the side lengths consist of Pythagorean triples are right triangles that can be aligned on their corners. More specifically, for a Pythagorean triangle with the legs aligned horizontally and vertically along the lattice, the corners of the hypotenuse will also be aligned. The triangle with sides 7, 9 and 11 in length just so happens to be useful, because there exist Technic beams with those lengths. In the render, 3 triangles of this size are laid out so that they together form a triangle with double side length. Well, nearly. The only way this can be made to work with a Lego lattice is to re-use corners for two triangles. So for two stacked on top of each other, each of which is 7 holes high, the top hole of the bottom triangle's leg is also the bottom hole of the top triangle's leg. So you get 7 + (7 - 1) in length. The same applies for the other triangle sides. aaa71706f9a6e9a2.png Screenshot of the statusfield.com outages as of ~5m ago. c534619e30b3df1c.png Terrorize them with quailty! afc92a93232a698a.png
