Yeah I agree, I wouldn't launch a new closed source proprietary language these days. The few that found their niche 20-25 years ago seem to do a decent job of sticking around though.

If a thing that used to be a 1 in 100 year event starts happening every 10 years and all the science says it's because of man made climate change then yeah we can totally do things to make it go back to happening once every 100 years a

If you have a room temperature superconductor, does that mean you can make a superconducting transistor from it?

My suspicion has always been that edge computing was primarily offered by CDNs as away to increase utilisation of hardware rather than something there was significant customer demand for.

Since the muzzle velocity (1km/s) of an AR15 is about 1/15th the speed of Voyager (15km/s), if you had a matryoshka doll of AR15s that could fire other AR15s you would only need 15 nested AR15s to shoot a bullet as fast Voyag

This is of course nonsense because GPUs in Thunderbolt enclosures work fine. The problem is more likely that the SoC does not have a sufficiently good PCI-E implementation much like the RPi and other ARM SoCs.
