I worked on a small team that created a CPU in the late 1990s and we stacked DDR dies on top of the CPU die and ran vertical traces. It was cool to have the entire computer inside one package.

I had a C64 as well. My school had a programming class and we all shared a TRS80 (I think). I remember writing a program to find prime numbers and thinking about various optimizations. Mine was fastest, and I was proud. Then the boy that wr

Electric cars will not "save the environment". Their purpose is to "save the US automotive industry". The idea that billionaires and car manufacturers would be motivated by anything else is laughable. Support public tran

I have no hearing in any of the frequencies BART trains emit. Burned away... I do love this "Transit" app though.

Their "intent" is to make as much money as possible for their shareholders. Nothing else matters; not today, and not in the future.

I live in SF. I haven't owned a car in many years. I bicycle or take public transit when my destination is too far to walk. I still purchase auto insurance that costs me something like $15/month. It has been years since I&#x27

A thousand years ago, every village had their own timekeeping and it worked. Our village is now earth. What if we just abandoned daylight-savings time and timezones and just went with GMT (or anything else) for everywhere on earth? There wo

You'd likely take an exception for a multi-bit error and the handler would likely just retry the read. Single-bit errors are often just corrected on the fly by ECC logic as you mention.

This is exactly my feeling. Cars have gotten so huge now, erasing the fuel savings and causing the deaths of so many pedestrians and cyclists. I would like to see the cost to register these behemoths to be commiserate with the actual cost

It's evolution. If something is better. It will take over. Thus it's not surprising that all languages have evolved to about the same speed. None is "better". They all convey information at the same rate. That's

In the Bay Area, everyone gets an SMS message that says an earthquake is coming. I've felt/heard the shaking 10-20 seconds later. Some industrial equipment shuts down to avoid damage.

"Ample gaps" means walking and cycling FURTHER (often across paved, dangerous, parking lots) to get to your destination. American cities are built for cars, not for people.
