Calling it 4MB is a bit ludicrous. On first run (on linux) it downloads half a GB worth (508 MB to be exact) of 'browser content'. On first run. So this isn't light or native. It uses the same Chromium codebase, but atlea

Just a tip. It is best to write something out, sleep on it and then revisit what you wrote the next day with a fresh mind. Hope it helps.

I'm not so optimistic. I think we've only begun to properly supplement the power requirements with solar power, etc. It'll be a while before the petroleum era ends. Maybe start talking about petroleum era going away when say,

That looks interesting! I quoted UNIX to show how primitive technology was at the time, rather than say he could've possibly used a computer. With ALS, using a computer would as hard as writing I would presume.

Are you talking about Chromium or Chromium OS? They are very different things. Both of them have working OSS forks, or just work out of the box. Chromium (Browser) - Just chromium. Works without changes (except for Widewine EME). WebRTC i

We've had textbooks a couple centuries now. It has been about 7 years since the iPad has been released (and then followed the tablet revolution). I'd say give it time.

Well, for starters you could have little 'Did you know?' pieces embedded in the text. Historical speeches need a ton of context to be assimilated properly. Immediate reference akin to a quick hyperlink based aside can give context

I think the big mistake one can do when comparing digital and physical textbooks is compare then one-on-one with a level playing field. Why do that? Digital textbooks can offer so much more than print textbooks. They can have embedded inter
