I honestly prefer that to someone who lies to your face and stab you in the back. It's easier to fight.

80 characters was the number of characters a 10-pitch typewriter could fit on a line on standard letter-size paper. 24/25 characters came from the vertical resolution of CRTs and what you could fit into 2KB of RAM. The point size argu

China is a one-party state where even the army belongs to the party. It's possible to imagine something worse; we've had plenty of examples, unfortunately. It's easy to imagine something better.

That circuit board is a work of art. I want to buy one and frame it.

Possibly pricing. Depending on the balance of logic vs I/Os you need, it could be cheaper to use two small FPGAs rather than one big one. Also if you're trying to keep the board simple by using TQFP rather than BGA packages, the

Is it a pressing problem, though? Google William Randolph Hearst. Or look up the antics in some of the US elections in the early 19th century. Also, Trump DID NOT SPREAD THE DOCTORED VIDEO. The video he retweeted was undoctored, merely a
