The Alpha folks talk about being the first port away from x86, but Linux/m68k (1993) predates the Alpha port (1995). I guess the difference is that m68k was happening independently and lived out-of-tree for a long time, while Alpha wa

Yeah. I'd name the function something like `earthDistance` or `sphereDistance`, and then still have the "what" comment saying "haversine distance formula" inside of the function.

As 'drops says, your versions is correct if you drop the comma. You can move parts of a sentence around from the "normal" order with commas: Normal: Hyenas gathered 9 Neanderthal skeletons by eating them.
