To me, this is one the most important news items this year. I've been excited about memristors since I first heard about them, and this sounds like an excellent application. These single device "neurons" also hints of things

You can run a 68k emulator on a 64-bit x86 if you wish to program as a hobby. Or is this about professional 68k programming, or perhaps nostalgia?

I log in as two different users on the same computer (but not at the same time): one for work and one for free time. The work account only has work-related things: "TODO" text files, a calendar, e-mail, slack, documents, source co
