   There is a "startup" XMos co-created by chief architect from Inmos (who introduced transputers). XMos microcontrollers share a lot with transputers design and are really fun to play with. Cores are RISC, there is at least 8 of the

   I am sure they are, still it is not a "wow effect", it is just incremental update – "wow" is just oversaturated default profile. Edit: most of recent Apple products are capable of displaying at least full sRGB, since 99.

   I always wonder when someone is glorifying a display (whether in a laptop or in a phone, IPS or OLED) - are the differences that visible? Or is just oversaturated profile? Shouldn't color calibration ensure exactly the same look&#x27

    Thanks from a user ;) I cannot use any editor without vim keybindings, furthermore I love "relativenumber", however VSCode gives no API for relative numbers (there is some hacky gutter images extension, but it is really hacky, slo

    Not at all - it uses closed-source/closed-hardware baseband module, so no one really knows what is happening inside. This project is more of custom board, keyboard, display, OS, UX around readily available solution. No successful or le

    Wow, I'm actually surprised that you would blame TSA or the woman instead of yourself (I'm even more surprised that no other comment mention this). It is you who did not care to ensure your laptop go back to you. There is some bia

    that is wrong way to do this - write efficient code (simple operations on an array) instead of using huge canvas library to make a library you don't need to use usable

    Ofc make your own benchmarks before taking PLV8 into consideration. In my case PL/pgSQL FOR loop was particularly slow; lack of builtin data structures like map or stack (though stack is emulated in V8 via array) caused performance pro

    Especially when PL/V8 seems natural when working on JSON(b). It even is much faster compared to PL/pgSQL (at least in a project I've been working on lately).
