If memory serves me well, 6 or 7 years ago a former microsoft employee made such a device. It ran on solar power and had just enough power to melt the wings of mosquitoes. I wanted to buy it ever since I saw the prototype, but I dont think

I agree with the point on CL libraries, which is truly sad after this many years. But Lisps like Clojure address this formidably by integrating deeply with the JVM and actually also Python. Im not sure his code is idiomatic SBCL but it coul

Small, fast and seems to gave great interop with C libs. This has some real potential for smaller scripts/utils I think. Did anyone make anything interesting with this yet?

This is one of those ideas where I immediately go "Why didn't anyone think of this before?" In periods of high-stress I can barely bring myself to pick up a book, but Im sure I'd read that email first thing in the mornin

Wow - Ive used other Browser integrations but none have been with complete. Well done, I'll definitely give it a spin!

If Hollywood has taught us anything, its that this is not a good idea. But, its interesting to think about the future of war when all combatants are automated. Is it purely a matter of resource-superiority? Or will algorithms be the main di

Guess I have 2 years until my Rift goes in the bin. Hopefully there'll be something even nicer out by then.

Well thats no good. I will say, that for the customers Ive had who have suffered big problems with their search engines, Algolia has always been the solution. It just works, so its worth paying for. Im a little concerned that this change pu

The interactive inspection of each layer is beautifully implemented. I hope that one day we'll be able to make even more sense of the consequence of each individual weight, ie. know more than -0.52 for a given pixel.

Do you have any evidence/studies to back up this point of view? Sowell has done quite a bit of research which backs up his conclusions. He has a couple of books on the subject you might be interested in.
