I have to say that Borland TurboPascal 3.0 (or earlier) was one of the finest pieces of software that I have ever seen. A full fledged Pascal compiler and a Wordstar compatible editor in a 29K binary. Where have those days gone?

Congrats and thanks for sharing Amit. Glad you have a bucket list and are ticking off items in there. Hope you have the time to get them completed. You only have one life. Make it count. Tomorrow may never come. Take care of yourself and yo

Would we get different results using a more compute intensive primitive operation (a multiply or divide) with a double variable instead of an add? Would the result in the first iteration just be due to some runtime overhead of Swift vs C (I

I just tried to change the URL but the 'edit' feature is only allowing me to edit the Title and not the URL. Does anyone know how I can edit the URL also?

During the reverse engineering scene I would assume that they are reading the BIOS which would have been stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). The ROM chip would have the same address and read control lines like any standard memory chip which c

One of the greatest things I have come to appreciate in the US is that for all its warts, it has great institutions to provide relief against injustice to those who will otherwise be marginalized or helpless. I have been a supporter of the

As mavelikara, above replied, Kerala has a unique mixture of three religions, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity. The Christians in Kerala are also of different denominations, Catholics (Syrian), Catholics (Latin), Orthodox Christians (Syrian

I don't live there but I do have family there and try to visit whenever I can. Hartals, an effective non-violent form of protest against British occupation, is a double edged sword. Now its mainly used to bring the country or state to

For anyone interested, Kerala is a small state in the southern tip of India. It has a huge historical importance to Western Civilization. You could almost say (I may be exaggerating a little bit) that the America's were discovered by t

You ask a very important question but I don't think there is any correct answer to it. Let me give you a little thought exercise. Imagine you were born in a different country and time than the one that you are in right now. Imagine tha

I was blown away after reading this book. It is by far the best book on general physics I have read. I recommend it to all parents to give their children the opportunity to read this book. I think it will change their lives and channel them

Thats interesting. I didn't connect that. The word for lion in some Indian languages is 'Simha' or 'Simham'.

Thank you that was amazing. I didn't think it was that close. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all.

I remember as a child watching Kimba the white lion. If I remember rightly it was translated from Japanese. There were some amazing Japanese Animes then as now. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Disney was just being s

Sorry Shostack, I was just responding to the MVP part...as for the "small person"...I was disappointed too...my dream job has always been to be the heart and soul of a robot.

The "autonomous" part is the problem. Any robot capable of hauling "1000 pounds of linen" would probably be pretty heavy itself (batteries, motors etc) and can probably crush your toes if it runs over them, even at low s

Are you concerned about overcrowding? I don't know if that number is that big a problem. For example, there are literally thousands of airplanes flying in the US airspace at any time. Now look up and see if you can spot one. There&#x27

If you live in the Bay Area (South or East Bay), an easy to reach Dark Sky location is Henry Coe State Park near Gilroy. Doing an overnight camping there is incredible. You can spent all night gazing at the Milky Way. It was really amazing

IANAL: But please be careful. You may be breaking the law if you do this. Dinesh D'Souza is going to do jail time for something similar (using straw donors to circumvent existing campaign finance laws and limits).
