I had a similar circumstance and the same rig with my Indy and for fun left it pointed at a Triops tank I'd set up .. people thought it was just an empty tank of water, until a week later there were epic fights between the banana shrim

Not useful for you. And that is your right, duty and responsibility as a user, and owner of the hardware. But there are tens of thousands of human beings within a few km's/clicks of you, I am willing to bet, who will find a use

Gadgets don't die, their users do. Every single computer that was ever made is still out there, and a use could be found for them, somewhere in the world. We just don't have the resources to distribute 'old' computers f

Sure there are scientific ways to go about things. But the idea that there is 'safe thought' and 'dangerous thought' is just plain batshit lunacy. A lot of amazing stuff we take for granted today started off with &quot

Every time this whole conspiracy theory comes up in my circles, I ponder on the means by which it might be true, even though it (probably) isn't. <tinfoil> Perhaps there are microwave frequencies which are conducive to agitating

How is this ugliness a solution? How about just name the binaries properly - I'd rather just prefix my commands with ~/bin.me/<blah> and keep ~/bin out of my PATH, than futz with horrid looking names. Or, even be

I had an Oric-1 in those days and cut my teeth porting the games in this book to the Oric. The cassette tape with my work is long since perished, but I do still have the drawings from those books burned in my brain, like a searing brand. ;

I have run into a few of these, I do have to admit, but I don't find any of these to be show-stoppers, necessarily .. like you I like the ES-series, in spite of the flaws. It's comfortable, once you move in. One last question, pl

I have no problem using coroutines to keep Wifi working fluidly on ESP8266. This just requires attention, its not too difficult to keep the ESP8266 pumping data.

Genuinely curious what you find unpleasant about the ESP8266 to work with?

I'd be completely fine with a switch to ARM, as long as it was handled in the same way that the switch to x86 was done - with a period of fat binaries targeting both architectures, and then a gradual phase-out of the older architecture

Folks, we need to understand that there is a real-life war going on in front of us, in the form of a trade war mostly but also a so-called 'cyberwar'. This is precisely the event that we've been predicting in the hacker comm

I don't doubt that - but have you seen the energy being generated around the ZX Next? It's pretty significant - and the fact it can load other cores is key, I think, to what's going to happen around this scene in the next 6
