The first computer I sat down in front of at age 9 or so and learned to use by reading the really nice manuals. Learning to program BASIC Was fun, and text adventures and other simple games (Hunt the Wumpus, etc.) were wondrous.

Talos offering viable x86 alternatives. Intel's 8086K and 9900K being mainstream 5 GHz processors. Cheap Windows Mixed Reality HMDs and Oculus' price cut for the Rift finally getting VR HMD prices down to a mass market compatible point. The beta of Haiku wasn't exciting, but still nice to see.
Cooper Jackson
Yes. Neurosky nekomimi kawaii cat ears from JAPAN.
Colton White
Are you 11 years old?
Daniel Thompson
Not him, but I'm pretty sure that's not a Nintendo Switch.
Matthew Gonzalez
Java 10 is a major update; new var keyword and better type inference. It's such a verbose language and this does help a bit with that (if you can't switch to Kotlin, that is).

I did some work for the project that staffs those observatories (LIGO). The existing laser-interferometers are a few kilometers long: long enough to detect gravitational waves, but not much else. They're planning on building a higher precision interferometer millions of miles long in up in space. The so-called LISA project:
