Motor neurons move the muscles, so does it matter which signal they pick up? With some machine learning in there, it should be able to discern between actual actions and random twitches. Edit: for down voters who didn't read the articl

Not at all, in fact in a lot of places Python is taught first. Best advice would be to pick one language and learn it thoroughly. Later on learning your next language will not be so difficult as you'll find a lot of the concepts are sh

But that's what I mean - we already have Emacs/Vim, with their million of extensions, which are always going to be faster. Outside of that we have Visual Studio, IntelliJ, PyCharm, the list goes on. All downloadable for free.

Honestly can't see why I'd use this - I have all the professional grade IDEs I need, why do I need one that is written in JS, is slower and consumes 5x more memory? Not to mention IDEs already have their own extension stores too.

The argument here is that CSS should be kept seperate because it is just the design and doesn't affect the behaviour. But this really isn't true. Want to create dropdown menus or tabcontrols? HTML just isnt enough, you need a whol

So you argument is we should kill millions of people, if their country is not changing quickly enough for us?

This is complete and utter media hype. The most that will happen is we will continue sanctions, and NK will develop a nuclear deterrent. They will not actually use it to bomb anyone, but just so they can be safe in the knowledge they will n

"Musk works about 100 hours per week at the electric carmaker" 7 / 100 = 14.3 hours a day. Or 100 / 5 = 20 hours a day. Does he not require food then? Or any non-work activities? Talk about hyperbole.
