I never knew/considered this. I wanted to clarify something. What you mean when you say that there is no cycle in the burning of fossil fuels, do you just mean that it is a net positive gain of carbon in the atmosphere because the carb

Neat graphics but I agree some comments below that you really need to add some action (jumping, mining, enemies etc) before this can be called a game. I’d love to see more added to this. Otherwise it’s more of a fun little experiment than a

Wow. Now you really can get rid of the damn chrome books that kids are stuck using when learning at home. Cheap, powerful hardware without the google data mining and influencing children.

What are these emerging declarative languages bringing to the table that will make people want to switch from what they’re using now? SDLang looks neat and clean, but to me it looks like JSON would get the same work down in the same amount

Agreed. I also have the feeling that “selling your privacy” as a commodity is not worth whatever measly dividends that could come of it.

I personally find vin to be a good tool for editing text without leaving the terminal. But when I’m writing a lot of code, I’ve found the vim ide concept to be far more trouble than its worth. Modern IDEs like VSCode + Vim bindings is my pr

Gaming is not the purpose of GPU accelerated single board computers. Though you could reasonably play some games on the Jetson Nano, Nvidia markets the jetson series as embeddable machine learning systems. While there may be complaints of h

It’s funny. IMO Hacker News which I only recently discovered is what I was looking for in twitter. Now I’m completely off twitter and with HN I get all the neat computer news that I crave. Also I like that for the most part, people keep the

Neat! I’ve looked on amazon and eBay where I could buy a slide rule but haven’t been able to find one. One of my professors told the class that he had a teacher who would challenge any of his students to run any calculation on a handheld ca

Interesting. I wonder if you could factor in “views” for measuring activity, like how many people have visited a thread and for how long. It’s my understanding that most big websites are extremely interested in minutia like where someone sp
