Almost all of my hobby project programs are in a single file. With right use of comments and organisation of data structures and functions it is not much different than dividing the code into multiple files. I often have multiple views on t

It is important to realize that many MAGA voters did not vote for Trump for what he does for them but what he does against others. These voters do not see him as a savior that saves them, but as one that fight on their side against those th

I have used this approach, with an almost similar looking define for YIELD myself. If there is just one instance of a co-routine, which is often the case for embedded software, one could also make use of static variables inside the function

I am aware of this. But the entanglement of photons in nerve cells can only go as far as one nerve cell, because between cells the signaling is based on chemicals that flow through some liquid. The signaling is not even electric. One nervec

Yet the signaling between nerve cells is through chemicals, neurotransmitters, being released. The working of transistors in CPU's is also based on quatum effects, so, following the same reasoning, they could be conscious as well. And

Vibrators might have killed more people than pacemakers, because Whenever you use a vibrator it could put pathogen in places that could lead to a fatal infection or cause cancer. There are many more people using vibrators than that have pac

I know someone who developed medical devices, not as critical as pacemakers, and he kind of boasts that he probably killed (as in caused premature death of) some people, but also extended the life of many many more.
