Yet chlorinated chicken is what we keep hearing all the moaning about coming our way. I'll pass on mad cow beef and now death zucchinis too. Maybe expanding transatlantic agricultu…

Thanks for the clarification.

This wouldn't supersede any violations of the ToS, though. I guess it would mean they can't sue you (maybe?) but they could still kick you off their service. Could they still go af…

Cultural overtones aside, this reminds me of how qualifiers that describe the comparative or absolute superiority of some technology or process are inherently fragile and do not al…

Nationalism is nationalism regardless of said nation.

Do you mind mentioning which RAM module you purchased? On the wiki it looks like some are officially supported and others have been added by users. Maybe if the issue is related to…

Whoops, I meant that use set/longjmp() to implement coroutines. My wording in retrospect was super unclear. Sorry!

I had only seen them in the context of userspace threading. I wonder what mainstream libs use them. Do you know of any?

Isn't Watson already a tired marketing device whose existence as a meaningful product/system is debatable? Not sure how much more damage would be done.

Is Mill happening? Has there been silicon yet? I have been reading about it for so long, but have not seen any peer reviewed work on it, silicon or soft cores. I would like to see …

So, I pray, go we all: http://www.arrl.org/news/view/radio-amateur-to-lose-license-...

Both looked kind of like GTK (in a non-verbose language like Python) to me, too. Maybe I am seeing things.

Wow, I didn't know that about Japan. It makes sense. Tons of amateurs everywhere are using Yagi-Uda antennas, would make sense that they have a strong radio culture having contribu…

It's also not even the nation state of France. France has many hams who are likely upset, too. It is a sketchy defense electronics company that has pitiable revenue. I suspect the …

It would be a shame if, in the event this passes, all those transmitters were to squeal across the spectrum in a coordinated fashion and render the spectrum basically unusable... h…

This is outrageous. The good news is that there is enough 2m equipment out there that there could actually be a feasible mass radio protest and intentionally render the band unusab…

Interesting move we see from the big players to more declarative UI toolkits. First Flutter, now this.

A demo would have to come with a billion disclaimers, but could be incredible. I kinda need a demo for catharsis reasons...

Eurocracy will not make that go very far.

"Profound."

Isn't the property of the generator expression not that it is an iterator (like a range or list also are) but specifically that it is a generator and thus inherently has state that…

ReasonML has only very superficial changes to ML using the ppx AST extension framework. Multicore GCs are not really what Facebook planned on contributing, or at least has shown si…

Backticks are very error prone $(cat foo.txt) is much more explicit and visually clearer for command substitution.

This could dramatically reduce boilerplate and still produce idiomatic OO code. I'm very excited about this.

Were you inspired by David Beazley's talks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VRM_PebPeE I'm not sure if it is in the linked one, but he loaded MS BASIC successfully off of an audio…
