   Cool. I always thought RISC-V could use a Linaro type of organization to help make it easier for people to build and develop on RISC-V systems. Sounds like this is it.

   I never got married but for me personally, I don't look at it as a choice, I look at it as an abject failure.

   Yep, I've used them once many years ago and they didn't have this option for what i was trying to do. Just sent this question to their support.

   Razer market themselves as performance peripherals for gamers, not super reliable mice for home or office users' piece-of-mind. Competitive gamers probably aren't too worried about replacing their mice every year or something.

   I think you're right about most manufacturers souring the same switch components. In my experience even a high end mouse commonly needs to be replaced after 2 years. Now I rotate through a few different types of mice every few months t

   Interesting. I don't think DIY is an option for me then. I'll have to find a service to pay to do it. I'm talking about 300 pages. I'm looking to bind computer books and technical reference information so I can read and

    Anyone know where I can turn a PDF into a single hardcover or softcover book with lay-flat binding? Like RepKover or O'Reilly books back in the day. Obviously it's not going to be cheap but as far as I can find, there aren't

    The tax system in the USA is too complicated. I don't have any easy solutions. I don't deal with enough money to make spending a lot of money on tax professionals or spending a lot of time myself dealing with all the details a goo

    The Linux desktop ecosystem still feels more like a playground. And that's not a pejorative in the sense that a lot of serious work hasn't been done on making powerful software and doing professional work on Linux desktops. I mean

    This is what I like, as a user. When it works, and it usually does, it's pretty slick. I hear people saying it only works when things are new and fresh but when you try to install old packages or new packages on older systems, things b

    I rarely see projects finish on time and on budget. I don't think I'm unlucky. I wonder who is at fault for this, developers and engineers or project management. Or both.

    The title this post makes it seem like John Carmarck is concerned about AI making CS jobs obsolete. But that's not at all what this is. This is someone else asking Carmack about his thoughts on this topic.

    > heck most don’t understand how banks work Even before this week I already knew I didn't understand how banks worked, or finance in general. Which is why I keep what little cash I have in an insured account.

    I'm trying to imagine a world where terraforming planets and intersteller travel are solved problems but keeping Earth hospitable is beyond our capability. Doesn't seem plausible. But on the flip side, I can clearly see how if we

    Maybe. Or maybe we're not special only in the sense that every place is special. Is any one particlar day special? No. Has any day ever been duplicated? Never.

    Both things can be true: the universe can be incomprehensibly vast and life can be incalculably rare.

    Colonizing is Mars unrealistic. Mars is too hostile for our type of life. Maybe machines can "live" there. Developing the science and technology to make Mars even slightly more viable is going to take a long time and we're go

    The best treatment I've read that explains what separates the Linux desktop from others is still here: https://blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2019/12/04/there-is-no-linu... In a nutshell, and in my words,

    I don't mean to sound glib but I thought that was the way our society was supposed to work: tell everyone to try really hard knowing only a few will make it. But with everyone busy trying that pushes things forward. Sure, the game is k

    The Michael Levin episode of the Lex Fridman podcast blew me away. https://lexfridman.com/michael-levin/ I had to pause it multiple times to let it sink in.
