I don't understand what's hard about adding like 256MB of flash soldered to that thing, I'd pay $5 more if it did. Everytime there's a RPI I cry about it.

One day, Apple will deprecate opengl 3.3 core, and I guess everybody might end up deprecating it. I've read that generally opengl is just easier to use than vulkan, I don't know if that's true, but if something is too complic

Imagine I'm a small software company, and I can't fight a patent troll, and I don't want to pay them or go bankrupt in legal costs. Can't I short-circuit that by just selling services elsewhere? Aren't there compani

> Surely there has to be a catch somewhere. Right? Underwater things are expensive to maintain, nothing is 100% waterproof, so rust rust rust. Underwater cables are no joke either, especially if you're building a network of sea cabl

Too bad because it was quite a funny story. I mean in retrospect, I can imagine it would be almost impossible to find all those toothbrushes and hack them remotely, unless they were all connected to a central server that would have been hij

more depressing is that a space elevator might never see the day, since the material required for it is difficult to make and even if it did exist, I have no idea how that thing would be put in place if I remember, in the mars trilogy, it&#

I don't understand why some people like to criticize the reputation of wikipedia. Wikipedia is not perfect, but their process is quite mature and robust. I even read people saying wikipedia is politicized.
