"Vector was late in moving from machines with 8K processing to 16K, which had become the new industry standard." I was interested in S100 bus machines, but couldn't afford one! If I'd only known, I'd have borrowed to buy a Vector Graphic S100 back then, just for the novelty of having an 8192-bit CPU! ;-)

"When asked whether Light Bio is worried about plant lovers sharing cuttings of the petunia with friends, Sarkisyan says that although the firm owns patents for the technology, it doesn’t plan to crack down aggressively on the behaviour".

Text of the proposed law [1]:

"28171. (a) Commencing with the 2027 model year, every passenger vehicle... be equipped with an intelligent speed limiter system." and (b) "be capable of being temporarily disabled by the driver of the vehicle."

Also: (c) "shall be capable of being fully disabled by the manufacturer or a franchisee, but only as provided in Section 28172." (28172 is about EMS etc.).

I smell loopholes for me (politicians, and likely techies ;-), but not for thee.

Also interesting how GPS jammers haven't entered the chat yet?

"The compact, lightweight compressor supplies the air, which passes through at high pressure — more than 58 pounds per square inch. Higher pressure, combined with Honda’s more efficient fuel cell stacks, produces enough electric power to equal the performance of a V-6-powered sedan."

I stopped reading around the "Nightmares" subheading, as the rest doesn't involve Nim-lang IMHO.

"compiled solution, coded in Nim to increase performance" ...

"Catwalk operates about 1700 times faster than, and uses about 8 % of the RAM of, a Python reference-based compression and comparison tool in current use for outbreak detection."

I dimly recall receiving a call from RMS one Saturday when I must have been in high school. I was working (on my own) on porting the ETH Modula-2 compiler from VAX/VMS to a NS32032 based "co-processor" board that plugged into the pc isa bus (an early hardware design from Trevor Marshall of YARC Systems). I think RMS asked if I would port the compiler to GNU, but alas I told him I knew nothing about Unix back then. The NS32032 went no where, but my compiler porting effort got me my first job with an interesting (to me) startup!

"The apartment we moved into in 2005 had an elevator whose firmware often crashed, requiring walking up 21 floors."

As a sw dev, I'd be sad too!
