    Considering the great lengths the SQLite source goes through to validate correctness (code that rides in critical airplane systems gets no free lunch), I'd be immediately concerned…

    I've very much wanted to tile them across a wall of my house to make a virtual/dynamic "smart wall" for quite a while. Even a B/W version would be sufficient. Last time I checked i…

    People actually will have to tune into politics since the differences will be diminished and you can't simply push the red or blue button and be done with it. 'aint nobody got time…

    Highly recommend reading Reamde first if you can. The story is entirely different, but is the same world and comes chronologically first; I felt the continuity added a lot when rea…

    You're grossly oversimplifying the complexity involved with "streaming" a video. Specifically in the context of a service like Disney+ or Netflix. Additionally how do you "find" th…

    I think you are overestimating the capabilities, and potential "savings", of P2P here. For one, OpenConnect already does what you're suggesting at the "city" level since it's sitti…

    As I understand it Netflix has hardware in ISP data centers to do exactly that. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/

    This is rapidly changing. On the international stage we're competing with state backed monopolies that don't suffer the same burden of internal US anti-competitive policy. It may d…

    I can't tell if the embossed effect is part of the video, or if that's actually what the app looks like. I'm really hoping the former.

    I've refused my 3-year upgrade and fear the day I'll need a replacement for my late 2015 macbook. It's sad being stranded on hardware that is starting to show its age when the newe…
