   Awesome! I had an account on OSC for some of my graduate research. Fantastic resource.

   Slightly OT but I'm happy to see breaking news from a gentoo.org domain. I long ago decided installing Gentoo was a young person's pursuit, but I'll always have fond feelings for it.

   This article started with such a bafflingly breathless tone about 80-year-old physics that I couldn't even finish it. Pair production is not exciting or controversial.

   Quantum computer news! Everyone is excited and confused.

   It's all fun and games until Shor's algorithm, anyway. If Bitcoin is broken-in-the-long-term in one way why not admit it's broken in another, and iterate to a better solution.

   Already wondering if you could port a text game this procedurally sophisticated to a 1980s platform like Apple ][.

    Was pretty curious about this until I saw that awful "e" word thanks for the heads up.

    Was pretty worried when Google Glass failed that it was going to impose a decade-long 'AR winter' on us. With this and Hololens, maybe I needn't have been so concerned.

    PhD programs already have insane attrition rates. Not difficult to imagine that any factor that makes it even slightly more untenable than it already is could have a big impact.

    I think a lot of people here are going to read 'Lynx' and suffer a namespace collision.

    I'm a physics PhD/software engineer and I would still say that most of my colleagues/fellow students have shown an interest in sports over the years. But personally... it's not for me. I can begin to glimpse what peopl

    Also the preceding sentences make it seem like quarks were discovered at the LHC (lol,no.)

    Nicely done. Just need one for planets and elementary particles now.

    Sax Russell, is that you? A practically identical train of thought from that character shows up in one of KSR's Mars books. Alway found it an excellent point.

    Ah yeah I was working on the assumption that we could keep the real numbers (article makes no mention of them), since for classical problems they're all you really need (maybe we can keep 5.9(repeating)?)

    From a physics perspective, I think you could actually get most of classical physics to hang together without the number 6. I suspect you could re-formulate or re-normalize yourself out of many potentially sticky situations. Anything to do

    I see the new Bioshock is coming along nicely.

    Too bad there's still no way to measure how anti-matter couples to gravitons. I know it sounds a little specious, but if anti-matter also had anti-matter it might help explain the asymmetry.

    I think I clicked through to the comments because I was wondering exactly this. Thanks for the rec.

    Hey thanks for the detailed feedback. Consider this the "release early enough that you're still embarrassed of it" component of this free time project. I'd like to support more mobile browsers, but I doubt I will ever ma
