If photons and electrons travel at the same speed am I right in thinking that the benefits of optical computing would be limited to parallel processing?

I've got my monitors on 2 boxes adding about 6 inches each to their height. When I first started looking up to use them it was so uncomfortable and distracting that I could not work. I kept at it though and I find my posture has improv

As a 10 year old windows kid I was so turned off by having to use Macs in school because they lacked a right click feature. I wonder how many windows users this cost them.

Well I am actually different in that I am jealous of the future but wonder how much better things can actually get? Think about the pyramid of human needs from food and shelter to travel and entertainment.. How much better can food get, how

A bit off topic but sometimes I wonder what span of time will have been the most exciting for humanity. I wouldn't be surprised to find that the silicon age turned out to be it.

I can't agree more. Are there any great examples of IRC being used for the backend of a games chat system? How would you envision using IRC in this case? Would have been great to see RiotGames write their own custom framework to interf

As an indie game dev I would like to deal with as little of a stack as possible. So what high level services could you use to achieve a similar chat feature without having to roll and maintain all of your own infrastructure? To me something

I think a better solution for medium would be to hire moderators not to remove unwanted comments but to elevate the desired comments into a "medium highlighted" area. This would then drive thoughtful competition to get your post t

I imagine someone in a post apocalyptic world carrying around a single sheet like this without anyway to replay it but taking solace in knowing it exists somewhere in there.

Yea, are we just living in an enormous three dimensional grid or are there true vacuums in space?

Do things 'go through' the vacuum of space or is it like newton's cradle where the fundamental building blocks just bump shoulders yet do not move? So for example when light travels from a million light years away, is it one

I appreciate that and I only ever played about 8 hours of HL2 VR, I stopped when I beat the campaign and moved on to playing WarThunder for a couple months then slowly tapered off. >>This is one of my worst fears about VR adoption: ga

Dk1&2 owner here, I've slowly soured on VR over the past year as my 'reptile brain' has come to associate the headset with motion sickness and I would say I have a pretty steely stomach. I'm an avid FPS player, spent

I use a Cisco linksys HomePlug to transmit ethernet over the copper power lines in my apartment. Funny thing is if I have my logitech z5500 speakers powered on I can hear the activity on the line, pretty annoying haha

I've been waiting for a show to embrace the crowd sourcing of writing. I imagine a reddit thread with hundreds of ideas/plot lines/debate drawn out for an official writer to "pull" into the show. What are your thoug

It was wild to follow John McAfee a few years back when he was on the run in Beliz. His podcast with Joe Rogan at the time was pretty entertaining and so I'm not surprised to see they are looking to make a movie (not sure if this was m

Second example was a little confusing for me "A variable can only remember one value at a time. If you want to change its value, simply use its name without the type." The 'simply use its name without the type' might be
