What about Tetris? Though the line gets blurry about "official" ports of Tetris, I'd wager that the core game concept is one of the most ported of all time.

In my opinion it's not really that high quality compared to the competition anymore (though it's still a good keyboard). They used to be, but the high end keyboard market has gone nuts the past few years and the HHKB is not really

IBM keyboards were also astronomically expensive, the Model M was around $250 in 1985 which is something like $600 in 2021 dollars. The modern Unicomp incarnations made on the same tooling are not as nice as the OG Model M's, but the

Cython is also pretty successful obviously, though I don't think it quite fits in OPs list given that it's more about writing extensions than replacing your entire Python code/stack. But I do agree with OPs sentiment even as

CW is "continuous waveform" not "code word" at least in the context of radio and is probably the only way this can work. You can't really modulate neutron energy/frequency with any sort of fine control, so most

Neutron transmission is not useful in any of these scenarios. Not in a fusion reactor because a fusion reactor produces a ton of neutrons itself, many orders of magnitude higher than any transmission you'd be able to make so it'd

Acoustic was also my first thought. Neutron generators are quite complicated and relatively delicate. Meanwhile acoustic transducers (e.g. piezo) are super simple and low power.

Yeah I read that, but it's not going to be good for that. For one thing that isn't going to work in a nuclear reactor core because the neutron background is orders of magnitude higher than any neutron generator could hope to produ

I don't want to hate on this research but my first thought was "well duh of course you COULD but why WOULD you?" This is basically just Morse code with a neutron source. That this is possible is obvious to anybody with a pa

Arguably they have an incentive not to support games for years. Not when they can re-release the same game with a little refresh 10 years later to "fix" issues.

The signal GPS uses is actually very very weak and can be jammed pretty easily just by spewing a bunch of noise in the general area of the spectrum where it lies. Military grade receivers have some countermeasures that civilian equipment do

And of course in a footnote of the documentation for this encoding "Sufficiently precise measurement of this mark left as an exercise to the reader."

I have a Hololens 2 on my desk that is the same way, you have to log in and sign in with a Microsoft account to access the MAC. Getting it onto my corporate network was a massive pain. Worse, to log in with our directory service we need to

You can actually use old-fashioned four conductor phone wiring for Ethernet, but it's limited to 10 mbps. Still useful in a few situations if it's all you have available.

Airsonic is also nice. I was a long time (paying) Subsonic user, but got a bit fed up with it and migrated.

Yeah I asked someone in human reliability about this not too long ago, she said even if it's made legal they are unlikely to change the restrictions any time soon. She said (and I'm not commenting on the validity of this line of r

I was thinking about how wild it would be to build up full support for the operations in tensor algebra for arbitrary orders. Doing that in Excel seems like it'd be wild. And then build up (numerical) tensor calculus operations on top

Actual tensor math would be fun to see. Definitely possible but it'd be ugly.

Have you seen any projects/code that actually use the BBB PRU's to feed NTP? I have a Pi that can get pretty good stats (Chrony reports sub-microsecond) from GPS PPS with only one kernel flag change but I've always wanted to

Supercomputers have been built like that for a long time (decades) now, albeit with ultra-fast networking and storage to back them. There is a whole lot of research and money poured into specialized algorithms and software optimized for dis

Some of the new ultra-compact chargers are using switching regulators based on GaN transistors, which are a fairly new technology. These are more efficient and hence can be smaller for the same power envelope. Some of the Anker products use

There isn't a huge problem with changing it, there are people who want to do exactly that and do something else instead. The prominent alternatives that I know of still do something to keep time tied to the mean solar day, though, and

Workable when you control the whole codebase, not so much when you have to deal with external dependencies or huge piles of legacy code that you're stuck with. I quite like writing C++ when it's just me or I have tight control, no

Dependency resolution is NP-hard. There are existing algorithms and libraries that solve it adequately despite this, but because they usually rely on some heuristics or simplifications they come with steep tradeoffs and can be quite complex
417.
by gh02t 5y ago
It's a deceptively complex with a lot of edge cases. Dependency resolution is a difficult problem, as are transactional updates. And you want it to be something that is bulletproof, since broken packages are a nightmare. It's not

Python isn't that unusual, dnf and yum on Redhat are both written (primarily) in Python. Agree with you though, I get the appeal of writing your own package manager but...

This is true, but it's more about support. iXSystems provides full testing and support on their hardware, which OP mentioned as a want. DIY is cheaper, especially since you have the option to buy used parts, but the premade systems are

iXSystems, the company that develops FreeNAS (now called TrueNAS), makes their own hardware for it with full support and decent prices. TrueNAS has also come a very long way in the past couple of years, before it used to be a bit rough arou
