Man, that made me nostalgic. I want my working and populated newsgroups back. Google groups really messed Usenet access up with the last two or three upgrades. Usenet really beats all of the stupid BBS, facebook groups or whatever in usabil

>Amazon is working on displays that Apple and Samsung can’t match How does that relate to the fact that Amazon actually bought the company that developed the new display technology (Liquavista) from Samsung? Something does not add up...

There is a real physical device with a real application and that is called Resistive RAM (RRAM). Then there is a phenomenological mathematical model of a two terminal device. In 2005 some guy from HP wrote a highly publicized paper where he

Populistic bullshit meant to grab attention, not science. A coherer is not a metal-metal contact. I am too lazy to elaborate, but some people in the comment section of the article already pointed out some of the more obvious issues.

This is a nice idea, but I wonder whether he did his research before starting this project. Due to the open nature of Arduino anybody is allowed to manufacture clones. There are plenty of cheap chinese versions on ebay and aliexpress. Ardui

That is an odd conclusion. Vienna is a nice city, but even for European terms it is not exactly a hotbed of innovation and start ups. Try Berlin, London.

It seems as if she lied to the immigration officers. From the story it is not quite clear how it was discovered, but it seems probable that the story is biased and that there are no secondary sources. Also the comments suggest that. So ??

Ok, tried it and it does! That's pretty neat. However, the formatting is slightly different than on github. My next question would be how to change the size of the preview area. It seems to be fixed width, adjusted for a 1024px screen.

Neat! Does it support tables? This is one of the biggests disadvantages of the existing solutions.

The size limitation is actually just one category of demoscene productions, the so called "intros", which come in 4k, 40k or 64kb variety. Demos on newer platforms can be more than 10mb in size. The size limitation on C64 comes naturally as

Nice, but it's rather rudimentary right now. I think you should work more on visualization. * how about generating graphs for resource availability vs. time? (minerals, gas, units) That would help greatly in verifying the correctness of the
