I remember the first thing I ever saw on the internet was an ASCII face of Bob Dobbs on a gopher site somewhere. This was back in the early 90s when MTV.com was owned by one of the VJs and web browsers were called Mosaic.

According to a presentation Richard Hipp did at Ohio State, they just didn't get the same level of performance from a log-structured merge vs. the b-tree in SQLite 3. If I remember correctly, while log structured merges where able to a

"The passengers and pilot on the civilian boat would later say they were terrified by the helicopters and did not intend to steer toward the canoe containing the law enforcement agents." Sounds like they made a mistake and it soun

Ironically their 4 great colors are black, white and 2 shades of grey. While this seems like a cool phone, I'm not sure what differentiates it to the point anyone would seek it out over the other choices available.

Sure it has a Kirin 970 chipset as a NPU for "AI" but this article didn't mention what this is actually used for.

I saw this book in a book store and thought it looked interesting. It seems like it would be fun. Growing up Choose Your Own Adventure books and other print based interactive fiction games really inspired me to read. I wonder if interactiv

Well let's just say the period immediately predating the European invasion, that generally occurred starting around the 1600s in North America. Of course this isn't static but the perspective is important because a lot of displace

This seems pretty cool then I realize that it would probably cost 100,000$ or so and I realize looking at the stars from a blanket is free.

Working on a primarily php project that also has a fair amount of python, a source of frustration has been breakage from sporadic pip package changes. This seems like a reasonable approach to help maintain some sanity.

I'd suggest HelenOS - see http://helenos.org they have hardware support for sound and USB filesystems etc that I think is lacking in Minix 3 but I don't think they have a web browser at this point. The main reason ther

Facebook messenger does this as well, yet most people aren't aware of it, nor do they consent. There definitely should be much finer grain controls over this type of thing. Imagine how violated people would feel if they had to have som

Sardines and other smaller fish are generally far more sustainable than the types of predator fish that humans have been pushed to prefer. There are also sustainable rates of fishing but our current economy doesn't work to incentivize

From my understanding of the economics of the majority of US beef cattle, they are fed a diet composed largely of corn and soybeans, which grow on land that could otherwise produce varieties of the crop edible to humans. They are grown in C

This could make for a good use of this software. The biggest issue free software such as this have is still adoption by less technically inclined people and a steep learning curve for techies. More effort needs to be put into cognitive reas

Yeah I wasn't impressed either, unfortunately it seemed like a combination of cool ideas but lacked any sort of network effect. I mean even an app like Duo by Google is pretty functionless if you don't know anyone using it. This i

The most amazing thing is the photo of the lumber where a hole underneath the dash is revealed allowing the hauling of lumber the entire length of the vehicle. That is an impressive amount of utility right there. Whether quirky features lik

Couldn't the retained state of friendly conversations just be based upon the fact that you have interacted socially with the people there, possibly induced by your broken laptop bag and thus there is a more open process of communicatio

The point was really driven home by the absurdly wasteful click bait articles from adrev that followed the critique of them.

I had a similar problem with a HP laptop that was a nightmare to run under Linux and almost as bad with Windows. It had a AMD chipset though and Linux wouldn't run it without blasting the CPU/GPU fan full blast. After countless ho

So if they build their 6 core CPUs by disabling a core in each of the 4 core CPUs, is this something people might be able to reverse engineer to enable the disabled cores ? Or would they physically disconnect the core on a hardware level ?

I think that there is a practical element here that dreamers need to ground their ideas with an actual plan for deployment. But I think it's hard to argue that Tesla didn't change the world with his ideas. He just didn't get

Wouldn't it be ironic if one of the GMO ingredients in Soylent was causing the kind of allergic reaction that organic activists are always warning about thus proving the hazardness of GMOs. This is sheer speculation but had to share th

From my research they have never really been competitive to the point of getting any traction in their installation. They cost a lot more and provided a lot less power compared to standard panels. This seems promising especially if it is av

The key management and signing needs to be fluid so that people can use their gpg on multiple boxes with minimal effort. I'm a big supporter of the idea of crypto but it has never had enough critical mass amongst my peers to be functio
