Oh, I don't know much about Erlang so I thought for sure that's what he meant. What was that supposed to mean, then?

Plenty of companies pay lots of money for logos that don't actually reflect their individual company, message, or values. This just lets people with no money do the same.

Imperative programming. Lists of statements, vs Erlang's declarative programming, where you describe the program without specifying control flow.

My Dell laptop has "MAXXAUDIO PRO", which does a bunch of heavy-handed stuff to make audio sound "better." I finally found the program when I was trying to figure out why my audio levels seemed to change.. My music would

Even if a short-range car would be fine for your daily commute (and you have a second car or some other method for making longer trips), there's another issue to consider: If you have to charge your car every night in order to get to t

Touch screens obviously aren't the answer here, but a good trackpad setup might be okay. I used to use Apple's "magic trackpad" when I had a macintosh desktop, and it did gesture inputs really well, though I always seeme

Imagine if there was some sort of government agency that did this as a service to protect its citizens. Some sort of National Security Agency, if you will... Oh wait, we already have that and they do the opposite. :|

Updating dd to continuously dump text to the screen by default would probably break a lot of existing scripts.

The Newton doesn't have an advantage in battery capacity, despite being bigger. They used 4xAA NiMH batteries in series, so 1800mAh-ish. Two points of comparison: The iPhone 6 Plus has about the same capacity, and a Samsung Galaxy S6 h

Eat up Martha? I used to have a Newton, also long after they were "obsolete" (as in, years ago, but I sold my Playsation Portable to buy it.) It was a fantastic little device. I had a MessagePad 2100, which had two PCMCIA slots an

Which is kind of funny, because back when being good with a sword mattered, "not very good with a sword" generally meant "not having a lot of money" as well.

Why would anyone go to such lengths? What's wrong with the usual methods?

Macros are a reasonable way to solve this problem. A good example is BSD's sys/queue.h: http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/sys/queue.h...

I figured "chat" was gravel or something from the context, but had never heard the term before. Maybe I'm the lone idiot, but in case anyone else is confused: "Chat is a term for fragments of siliceous rock, limestone, a

I used to have some old (tube-based) test equipment that included instructions on exploding it with a grenade in the event that it had to be left behind. The grenade was not built in, however.

That's cool. And very promising. I wonder why they decided to do it this way for the tegra project, and if that approach will spread.

Wikipedia says L4T contains proprietary drivers, but nvidia's having a third party make experimental open source drivers for mainline linux. Is that information out of date? The sources are from 2012 and very well could be. I'm tr

What's the open source driver situation like for these things? Is it worth supporting nvidia by buying one of these, or are they likely to crack down on developers to keep this thing closed? It is an awfully interesting device, but I&#

Oh, yeah I guess you're right, it's water soluble. I was thinking more "hygroscopic" when you talked about it ruining electronics, but I guess you just meant that if it got wet it would cause the device to have bitterant
