I find it easier to read. It's easier to parse too so it doesn't rely on standardization as much. There was some effort towards standardization but nothing became of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-express

I just have to tag on this post and mention the replacement that I stuck with: http://goread.io It's open-source with a free hosted service. It works really well for me. I have been very impressed with the progress since in

What about S-Expressions? My electronics CAD program recently switched to using it for footprint and layout files and I am very happy about it. It looks like this in text: https://github.com/KiCad/Footprint_Symbols.pret

Digikey's and Farnell's parametric search are the best from a user's perspective. All the sites are pretty terrible from a designer's perspective. I concluded this from working out how to generate HTTP requests for them

Yes, I should have said "integral to university budgets" rather than "central". The thing is, the perceived value of education is largely based around prestige. Unless the cost of studying in the UK suddenly sky-rockets

In the UK Farnell/Element14 are the best choice for components. My items always arrive next-day when ordered before 5pm and delivery is free (you have to spend at least £20 to pay by card). The site is a lot more usable than RS-Online

Can you really see that happening though? The negative associations attached to insect eating are too great. I think it would take more than marketing to change such social norms.

It sounds a bit like they are prepared to go ahead if they receive less funding than the goal -- which is possible on IndieGoGo. I think the trailer looks great but I have asked for some clarification on these points: - What do you mean by

Illiad V2 looks nice. My dream is just having an e-paper monitor next to my regular monitor to which I can just pull text over to read. I wish I could just get my hands on an e-paper screen of a decent size to hack.

What's the problem with datasheets on the old style Kindles?

I don't understand how they correlated what they defined as depressive internet usage to depressive people while retaining peoples privacy. Also, I don't think and application that pops up and says "You are acting depressed" is going to hel
