   I can see how counting the rings can tell you that there were 372 rotations per revolution vs today's 365 rotations per revolution. What I don't get is how you correlate that to shorter days. Wasn't the Earth's revolut

   I hope the Raspberry Pi community really switches to Python3 soon. I've looked at the PiStorms stuff MindSensors (Lego Mindstorms compatible). Unfortunately it all seems to be just Python2 based. Looking at all the code it seems you&#

    I remember reading somewhere that a future version of Android would be able to tether an existing WiFi connection but I can't find the article. I hope this Android 10 contains this. It's painful to go to a hotel that has a captiv

    Didn't know about Sublime Merge. Though, I am hesitant to learn or become dependent on any GUI for Git other than gitk, and git-gui which ship with Git. Honestly, Tcl/Tk is ugly as hell but every other GUI I've seen seem to
