Thanks. Seems there is a second edition due October 26, 2022. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Code-Language-Computer-Hardware-Sof... I feel tempted to buy the current edition, but also to wait for the second.

Many of us are amateur radio operators, which is basically walkie talkies. And furthermore, when we're all having a group discussing, it very much follows your last point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radi

I found this hard to follow so stopped reading. > [Note: When I say “G” or “M” I’m talking about Gbits or Mbits/second.] > Why 5G? Faster connections — there is talk of 10G! Wait, does he think 4G = 4 Gbit/s, and 5G = 5 Gbit

As much as dark mode is becoming a thing, I can't read light on dark text without it messing with my eyes. It has to be the worst way to render text.

I think this makes you an honest person. I imagine most people wouldn't admit to it, but when it came down to it, would go the same way. Hunger and survival changes people.

My response to this is a few days late. I thought to check my replies after reading the recent lack of notifications thread. And I had a thought. As you say, implants sound dangerous and hard to maintain but also, intractable. I wonder if a

I agree too. I am able to comment and add to a thread without feeling like I have to then defend my opinion or go back and answer replies. There's no responsibility, in a way, with commenting. I can add an anecdote, or ask a rhetorical

To be fair, it's easy for us to sit here and dismiss research into brain implants while we have full use of our bodies and are fit and healthy. On the other hand, people who have suffered horrific injuries likely feel quite differently

Is that why the room of names was created? I can't recall which game it was, but being able to view everyones names within the game when a developer/publisher didn't want them credited.

This is true, but on the other hand, the alternative is to work 230 hours for free with no guarantee this won't happen again in the future. It's a difficult decision.

Agreed. Drop it before you take on any cost. Get in touch with all current clients outside of Upwork and offer your services direct.

I'd be looking to get "Robin" to put in writing that he used the wrong card. Surely it is Robin who owes Upwork, not OP who owes Upwork. I'd also want Upwork to answer a few questions: 1. Did the cardholder receive their

Not really. Just personal experience. And I think that's the key point here - coming up with a design that is fit for the world (wide web), and not just academically viable. I suppose the evidence I would give to back up my statement i

IPv6 was poorly designed, and will never be fully adopted because of this. Unfortunately, we seem to be stuck between IPv4 and IPv6 when really, what we need is a new solution, something better designed and easier to adopt.

Just to clarify, because this has always been an issue with misunderstanding, but torrenting and BitTorrent isn't illegal or unlawful, much like how ships aren't. It's how you use it and what you transport over it. I could ve

Personally, having used it for over a decade now, once you learn how it works, git is perfect. But it's not necessarily easy, sure. But then there are a lot of easy solutions out there that aren't very good. I'd say it's

While it looks good, one has to think about the cost of commands. In the same way that certain words slip off the tongue, and others don't, so too are certain words or commands easy (or not so easy) to type. `ls` is easy, one keypress
