I assume the answer is: cost. It's very expensive to fully isolate yourself from your surrounding environment both for the sake of exploring but also for camping. I would imagine there's not a lot of funding for this sort of resea

I'm absolutely amazed that Windows doesn't offer a process spawning API that takes an array of strings as arguments[0], if only because that's exactly how a C program expects them anyway. [0]: https://linux.die.net

I find this very disturbing. Verizon is refusing to defuse explosive phones on their network because they would rather have you use a dangerous cellphone than not have a cellphone at all. It's like a McDonald's serving you potenti

Probably be good to add (2013) to the title as that was both when it was written and the latest x86 documentation at the time. Since then, it looks like the manual as 4670 pages now[0], which surpasses the 6502's "all transistors
