I don't know of a specific example, but Lisps have a pretty long tradition of coming with architecture specific assemblers. I'm sure there are many CL implementations that can target ARM. The problem is any sizable Lisp needs quit

Time is on webview apps' side. IMO cordova/phonegap got too big too early and the industry still has a revulsion that may not be justified anymore. I don't think they will ever come to dominate, but I do think hybrids will ev

Windows Mobile came with a regular browser for years before the iPhone. There was nothing crazy about first iPhone's specs either, pretty in line with the rest of the market. While it wasn't big with regular consumers, WM had a de

AFAIK gynandromorphism doesn't happen in mammals because sexual development is more centralized. Half of your body could have cells of a different sex but it wouldn't matter because organs responsible for sexual development will s

You quickly learn to ignore every kind of negativity on Twitter. Sincere conversations are so rare, even if a comment looks like a reasonable disagreement, chances still are you'll get hate in return if you reply (and you'll only

I'm not sure what your measure of first coin sales is supposed to represent. Let's say there's only two coins. You mine both, sell them to me for $1 and $100 respectively. I then go on to sell them for $1,000 each. You seem t

The bill's draft sounds much more tame. Seems like a novel take on free trade zone style initiatives. The company gets to make a lot of decisions early on but eventually it won't have much control left. https://www.scri
