Albino Rock Lighthouse
Plans for the Albino Rock Lighthouse were published in 1940 with construction scheduled to begin the same year.[1] The plans showed a 30-foot (9.1 m) tower with square white concrete standing at a base elevation of 96 feet (29 m).[1] It was the last light to complete the chain along Northern Queensland to Torres Strait.[1] 44 miles (71 km) to the north lay the Hinchinbrook Light, and 32 miles (51 km) to the south was Cape Cleveland Light.[1] The light characteristic was white with three flashes every 20 seconds (Fl.W.20s), 15,000 candlepower, and 15 miles (24 km) visibility.[1] The light is no longer operational, while the Fresnel lens is in the Townsville Maritime Museum.[2]

gollark: Obvious objections:- "what do you even mean, gollark, that sounds like just ILP but stupider" - maybe, yes, the main difference being execution of separate bits of the program at once- "why did you just invent SIMD but worse, ish" - oops- "but cache contention" - too bad, consume bees
gollark: Well, the obvious* solution to program counter counterness is to just add more program counters, by which I mean hardware-accelerated greenerer threads with no context-switching overhead for more effectively utilizing execution units.
gollark: Advantages of expanding out powers:- leaves less RAM unused. Unused RAM is wasted RAM!- differentiation can be defined more lazily- palaiologos suffers- fewer rulesDisadvantages:- none
gollark: Of course. I was just being very lazy.
gollark: ++remind 3h deploy osmarkscalculator™ prototype or something
