AFAIK not even any of the clickbaitobullcrapmetric indexes are sufficiently full of organic fertilizer to claim a single language is being used by 50% of developers or even 50% of Fool-Stackoverflow QuazyAwful copypasta idiots.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Quote: An ONPC device can connect to standard Wi-Fi when range permits, fall back to ONPC mode if the connection drops
So it goes from express train to pony express as a fallback. That's really useful.
I suppose, with a 60m range, I could put an SBC on the lawn mower and use three bits:
forward
left
right
to control it. Assuming 3 seconds is sufficient response time on a highly customized direct to the hardware software to read packets of just 3 bits at a time. Hope it doesn't get out of sync!

Though Guinn admitted that it was a fairly speculative idea, he went on to argue that reports of ghosts, déjà vu, and weird coincidences could actually be glitches — and evidence that we’re all trapped in some futuristic society’s video game or science experiment. /sigh. Sure. It _could_ be a sign

The Matrix | Script [Neo sees a black cat walk by them, and then a similar black cat walk by them just like the first one]
Neo: Whoa. Déjà vu.
[Everyone freezes right in their tracks]
Trinity: What did you just say?
Neo: Nothing. Just had a little déjà vu.
Trinity: What did you see?
Cypher: What happened?
Neo: A black cat went past us, and then another that looked just like it.
Trinity: How much like it? Was it the same cat?
Neo: It might have been. I'm not sure.
Morpheus: Switch! Apoc!
Neo: What is it?
Trinity: A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

The idea of a simulation is a rather lazy one. Anyone who can make such a simulation, would speed up the execution a thousand fold.

Maybe it is running 1000x as fast as the comparable events in the "real" world. There'd be no way to tell.
I give the theory more credence than most posters on this thread. The basic argument is that one of the following is true:
1. Ours is the first civilization that will attain the ability to run detailed world simulations.
2. Advanced civilizations have no interest in running detailed world simulations.
3. You're probably living in a simulation.
Some speculate that the simulations are ancestral, perhaps to explore possible historical outcomes or simply to provide entertainment. If the latter, then dying might end with taking off your virtual reality glasses (in which case the simulation is also likely to run at roughly the same speed as the "real" world).
