There are mRNA cancer vaccines in clinical trial. I'd say the future is looking pretty awesome.

I need to look up how to use std::enable_if every time. Thankfully C++20 concepts made it obsolete.

I'd be down with that. Given the choice I'd go for the synthetic one.

Not a hardware engineer, but I've dabbled a bit with very basic CPU design using an open source Verilog compiler and simulator (specifically, Icarus Verilog). Just out of curiosity, what do proprietary tools in this space offer that op

They have more money than they know what to do with. Let's face it, this is a company that runs what's essentially a very simple web site, yet they have a 34B market cap.

And people get addicted to that thing. I remember when Twitter used to have a tweet counter on people's profiles, and for some people it was running into the tens of thousands.

That looks cool, but I think what GP wants is a PS1-like virtual console with limited palette, 32x32 textures, and unlit, unfiltered, non-projective texture mapping.

Great book, and "The Zen of Computer Programming" by the same author is also nice. (Unfortunately the printed version has pages of pseudo-Chinese text that look like "A U E I A A U E E I O A E" if you can recognize a bit

Computers would get magically faster, though. You can build standard digital circuits out of superconducting Josephson junctions, which have much higher switching speeds than semiconductor transistors. A flip-flop was demonstrated to operat

Right, most lecture notes I've seen on the internet only go as far as implementing a simple 32-bit RISC machine where everything happens in one cycle. For variable-length instructions I think you'll need a multicycle state machine

"Everything is political" "Being apolitical is a political stance" "If you don't take a stand you're part of the problem" Gosh, this is tiresome.

Maybe not the most environment-friendly solution, but plastic waste can be depolymerized into crude oil. No idea about the economics though.

Wow. I'm reminded of De Soto's "The Mystery of Capital" when I see examples of incredible skill and resourcefulness in regions that somehow remain underdeveloped.
