Not the same tech, unfortunately.

The in-game incarnation doesn't have to be as weak as the real-life one. It could be based on the same technology, but with a fantastically higher fire power. Because fiction.

Wow. The MARAUDER sounds like the kind of weapon you would only find in a modern installment of Command & Conquer in an alternate timeline of history.

What is it about the number 927? I'm not catching on. EDIT: oh, XKCD 927, got it.

I didn't know that a person can simultaneously have two valid passports of the same country. I thought you either have to declare the old one as lost or bring it to the passport office to have it invalidated, when you apply for a new o

I used to joke with my colleagues that eventually everything will converge and become systemd running jupyterhub (now jupyterlab) running "apps" that are actually notebooks on some kind of Node.js kernel.

The connection between the smartwatch and the computer would, in practice, be wireless, which is something the author wants to avoid because it's easier to hack without the victim noticing.

If you are doing proper OpSec, you would have whole disk encryption anyway, in which case destroying the computer is largely unnecessary, I think. That said, the caveat of XKCD 538 ( https://www.xkcd.com/538/ ) still app

This reminds me of a Stephen Chow comedy with absurd spy gadgets -e.g. a leather shoe is actually a hair blower.

I think it would be interesting to get this running on DLT One ( https://hackaday.io/project/164845-dlt-one-a-damn-linux-tabl... ) Does /e/ require a phone? Or would it work with a tablet as well?

The number of channels in China (or in Chinese), compared to other countries (or other languages), is mind-boggling.

Dip it in conformal coating and you get a baremetal, but waterproof smartwatch! Cool!

It’s incredible how far along iNaturalist has come. I’ve been an active user in Hong Kong since before the Pokémon Go craze. I used to tell my coworkers in jest that I gotta catch them all. :P Seriously, iNaturalist is sooo much more meanin

I'm confused. Is Matrix actually synchronous or asynchronous? The Matrix FAQ ( https://matrix.org/faq/#what-is-a-homeserver%3F ) makes it sound like it can be asynchronous. Otherwise, why store communication histo

It would be even more amazing to have a TypeScript extension, as in adding more syntax so that 文言 transpiles to TypeScript first, then to JS.

Even if the maps are outdated, I think the point-to-translate pages serve as a really nice, condensed English<->Chinese glossary of electronics. This helps not only foreigners, but also native Chinese like myself who have received the

While we're at it, we can possibly create a new variant every few years with the aid of AlphaZero, to curb the memorisation trap. Here are the steps: 1. Think of a new rule change; 2. Train AlphaZero for a period of time with the new r

I wish I would want to support iTerm2. I have been using it for years. However, a few problems compound to make me hesitate staying on macOS at all. In particular: 1. I still haven't figured out how to solve the slow performance of vim
