I've wanted to make a static site generator generator for a while. Run the script and out comes another script with a wicked cool name that uses one of the many markup options, header formats, and templating engines (either manually or

Another idea: many of the swimmers breathe only to one side (in the races that they breathe at all), so in one direction they would be able to (better) see the faster swimmers towards the center. Another possible psychological factor.

No. Fastest swimmers are seeded in the center lanes, slowest in the outside lanes.

We are also just talking about a four year term of the president only. If the system works at all the winner won't be able to screw anything up so much that it will be unrecoverable.

Spilling every variable to memory isn't too bad if you just want it to work and aren't worried about performance.

Fun fact: recent notable rocket landings seem to use convex optimization to solve the soft landing problem, AFAICT. See here for more info: http://web.mit.edu/larsb/www/iee_tcst13.pdf > This convexification ena

The question of whether Pebble is abusing kickstarter came up last time around as well. I think it's ultimately up to kickstarter and I would guess they are okay with it given their 5% take ($35k in the last 45 minutes, ~$1M last time)

Those resistors are not part of the flop, they're just there to limit current through the LEDs to make the state visible. See here for a D flip flop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)#/medi

I'll give it a shot :) logic cells: easy, by universality of NAND. RAM: distinction between flip flops and RAM is unnecessary from a strictly technical standpoint. a massive (or not so much) array of flip flops with decoder and mux (al

Yes, but faster! Seriously though, that is wicked. I wonder how the creators pulled it off.

The first time I heard of autonomous vehicles I imagined intersections where no cars stop, they simply make minor adjustments to their speed so that vehicles could be continually flowing through in both directions. It would be quite the sig
