> 1. The whole system download is about 1 or more Gigs. For me that’s one of the beauties of the tool: you install the 6 GB and get everything . It’s not like e.g. Rust where you get 1.2 GB of compiler and co. but then have to download

That requires a good window manager, which macOS does not have.

Sadly it works only on Pixel phones.

I personally like to avoid the “writing in C++” experience. :/

I don't think so: it's a microscope, not a synchrotron. :D I meant "drawing" on a photoresist layer with a SEM and then wet-etching it. Also all silicon in a photodiode is doped, so the etched parts would be of little us

I think abusing a write-off electron microscope to side step the need for masks is also an interesting idea, however, I believe acquiring wafers of sufficient quality and depositing layers to be etched could be the bigger challenge here.

Electro-optic modulators already exist — still no StarTrek. :(

I’m not sure what the GP is thinking, but I would love a cheap-ish exabyte storage even if it takes a month to read fully. Damn, I’d gladly take it even if the speed is comparable to an SSD! (Though the price would be a question of course.)

What do you mean “we don’t have flying cars”? What are helicopters then?

I think the confusion stems from the fact that we call a database what is really a database management system.

Would it help though? IMHO, being binary is one of the least confusing sides of IEEE 754.

I don’t want to be a CEO, mate. Why would I give up my cushy place where I’m paid to do interesting stuff, for a stressful position full of management responsibilities? I swear, more people should learn the idea of lagom.

Huh? Not every job requires this trait, and even though some do, it’s not something nonlinear optics professor ought to evaluate. Sure, it’s a nice quality to have and I find it useful at times: when it’s “suddenly” the last day to write a

I don’t think my friend would claim to be smart (and not I’m not talking about myself in third person to sound more convincingly, I have a real las in mind). I say they are. I saw them in a day to day work and they are both more knowledge

Well, that is a way to test students’ ability to perform under pressure, but I’m adamant it’s not a fair assessment of their skill in the subject at hand, nor how much they’d worked and improved during the course. On several occasions I hav

Baochip looks very interesting, and I highly respect bunnie's work, but I can't realistically say Baochip is a viable option for me, an unprofessional tinkerer.

To be fair to GP, I too was confused by your use of brackets here.
