Unless Gavin King grows some serious facial hair, Ceylon is a doomed language.

Somebody forgot to call Miss Utility! Again!

Oops - didn't mean to post that anonymously. That's my post. Really.

I have to second Basic Instructions. It is consistently hilarious.

That must be what they use to make inkjet printer ink.

What does "almost infinite" even mean?

It also comes with either a 16- or 64-core floating-point Epiphany chip.

He hated it. He quit practicing and became a sysadmin, but still maintains his license.

An ex-attorney friend of mine once observed, "We do not have a justice system. We have a legal system." It's an important thing to remember.

The tinfoil hat in me fully expects them to use this to kill the used phone market, jail breaking, and any number of other things that are consumer-unfriendly. "Oh, you lost your phone and don't qualify for a new free one yet? Sorry, you can't buy a used one from your bud. You have to buy a new one from VZW/ATT/etc." This is a solution rife with problems for the consumer.

So if you had enough of these, you could air condition your house with them?

It's Presidential Primary Season here in New Hampshire, so we get at least one call per day, and those are exempt from the Do Not Call list. Sometimes it's a recording of the candidate. Sometimes it's a supporter of one of the candidates. Sometimes it's a pollster. A lot of the time it's a supporter of a candidate posing as a pollster. Those are easy to tell because the questions are leading.

I've got one of these on my desk as I write. I've actually been working with it for several months now, and it's pretty sweet. It's intended to be a DSP co-processor coupled to an FPGA. The company I work for (BittWare) has invested heavily in Adapteva, and we are introducing some boards featuring a handful of 16-core Epiphany chips (which we have rebranded as "Anemone") and an Altera Stratix 5 FPGA.

The tools are Linux-only at this point, but that's more than OK by me. I think this is the first time I've ever not been forced to use Windows to develop code for a new processor.

The target application is anything that requires lots of DSP but can't burn many watts.

I think the "Testing the Bike and Lights" segment was testing whether or not it got attention from the chicks. They both turned their heads, so I guess it passed.

I bet dogs are a lot cheaper than snifferbots.
