Remembering other pseudo packet data connections that could interleave various data streams all at once, I wanted SLIP so bad, but could never figure it out. The paradox of the early internet is that we didn't have the internet at th

I "grew up" on BBSs in the >=2400 baud era. It was about that time, as modems became faster, and as the average personal computer came default with some kind of GUI, that it was only natural that BBSs started to move into the g

I'm not sure, but I believe most of those constellations are launching newer generations which are intended to handle higher volume data.

I remember, in ancient history, that my very average public school system had a zero-electronics policy (with the exception of the mandatory TI-xx calculator, medical devices, and watches). Any other electronics, like computers, or musical

There seems to be more dimensions to it though. Trivially, a dog and a human might be on one axis, but you can't rank differently intelligent humans along that same axis. The average dog, while strictly and obviously not as intelligent

Me too! I grew up very isolated in rural America and IT was a literal gateway into a global artistic movement that caused me to connect to people across the planet, develop a skill, and set me on a course into technology. I am forever in Je

Landmarks. It's similar to how directions are given in other countries with large urban areas and shaky addressing systems. "Turn left at this coffee shop, right at the second church..." When my wife first moved to the U.S. f

The new South Korean addressing scheme is kind of a mess and I think a missed opportunity. i.e. Street names (gil) can be derived from larger roads (ro). e.g. Toegrye-ro is the major road, and Toegye-ro 48-gil is a street that branches from

It may have changed, but last time I was there, most of Ireland outside of Dublin had no addresses, just coordinates. Navigating wasn't too hard though, streets have numbers, and directions were usually a "turn left at road 1310,

I think it's important to consider some of what Raspberry Pi's mission [1] and how they have kept and/or swayed from that. Short version, the Foundation was established to support the education and development of skilled tech

Just get a usb to gpio adapter. Arduinis can be flashed to do this also. So it's just a few dollars to get the capability on a PC.

I was sad and directionless (sometimes angry) for a few years. Then one day something sort of "clicked" and a new direction I wanted to go sort of crystalized, I pursued it and never looked back. It helps that I can still pursue m

I love Sierra games growing up, but I've come to understand that they were not great games and often quite user hostile, but benefited more from being early movers in an underserved market. They rightfully deserved all of the success t
