I think there's only danger in taking the cosmic scale of the universe seriously if you also take your selfhood seriously. “My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

As voltagex_ pointed out you will have no problem with open-source packages, but I imagine you could try QEMU for running proprietary x86 bits in a pinch.

It depends on the device, but I'm working with the Qualcomm DragonBoard 410c (similar to a phone in some respects), and eMMC memory is WAY faster than SD cards.

How could a meteor have launched from Mars and reached Earth? It stretches my mind to imagine a situation where a meteor drops down, picks up life, then drops it off on the next planet. Are there records of meteoric impacts like that? The b

Freescale's ARM processors are quite open, and getting better all the time! I'm looking forwards to their i.MX7 line.

SEP does seem to focus much more strongly on analytic philosophy than continental, although that's arguably a bias of the entire discipline. Jean-Luc Nancy, Gianni Vattimo, and Luce Irigaray are all missing, for instance. https:/

There's a difference between a chemical analogue and an alternative way of producing the same chemical. Glucose is still glucose whether it comes from sugar cane, corn, beets, or other sources.

The other problem with the parallela is its weird architecture. Its master processor is a dual-core ARM, but the 16x "epiphany" cores only have a C++ compiler. It would not be possible to program the epiphany cores with Erlang, fo

I think the flaw marcoamorales intended to point out is how sudo doesn't always re-prompt for a password.

I find F# to be really great for scripty things. Honestly, it's more of a Python replacement than C# for me. I've scripted Google Maps scraping using F#. It doesn't showcase any particularly functional features, but you can s

In Windows 8.1, the GetVersion(Ex) APIs were deprecated. That means that while you can still call the APIs, if your app does not specifically target Windows 8.1, you will get Windows 8 versioning (6.2.0.0). Microsoft didn't want to rel

Your answer will follow from the chosen "random" sampling method. Since the sampling method is not stated as part of the problem, there is ambiguity. For this Ruby snippet, you chose random (x,y) coordinate pairs on a plane. This

Try to practice against real people rather than AI, especially when getting started. It's more fun and veterans can explain things to you. In-person would be ideal, but online communities work too.

Wow, that's huge. Are you in tablet mode? If not, you can drag the edges of the start menu to resize it.
