   Memristors seem like they could be such a game changer, but progress is slow. I'm glad to see there are people still very much hard at work on this. Congratulations to everyone involved!

   Imagine how awesome it would have been if LCD backlights were addressable. Games would make wicked use of this effect.

    I watched General Magic at the Apollo Cinema in KW last night. Great documentary that provides so many opportunities for introspection with my own projects and my expectations of them.

      I've often thought about something halfway, like a sort of neuterscript, where it can only do things like animations.

    One thing that's new with VR that no one is talking about is defaulting voice chat to always enabled. Many games and social apps in VR do this. It really changes the game when people hear your "inner" monologue when you join a server.

    The main problem with choosing a free software license is that they're a giant pile of legalese rather than a succient explanation of their goals.

    MIT, BSD: Do whatever you want with this software, but it's not our responsibility (baseline)

    Apache: Same but with extra protections for your trademarks/brand

    GPL: Requires derivative software and software to also use the GPL license

    LGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the LGPL license, but doesn't consider linking to a library to be a derivative

    AGPL: Requires derivatives to also use the AGPL license, but considers communication over the network to be derivative

      @alvarezp it's a nonfree license designed to make open source projects stop being open source

    Just started reading Solaris. It's one of those books that all nerds are supposed to read. So far, it's pretty good!
