It is not clear why it would make any sense to bundle the TX1 with games.

It is a bit excessive to say that it is unrelated . Many of the techniques and methologies created for the 4004 were instrumental in the development the 8008. Also, the 4004, 8008, and 8080 were all designed by more or less the same people

It's way easier to tell when looking at the 8008. The 4004 has all kinds of strange instructions, like DAA (for BCD) and separate instructions for accessing main memory, ROM, and RAM. It's pretty clear that it was made to be in a

By manually moving the constants from .const to .data, I got this program: program main integer m,n call corrupt(7) write (*,*), 7 stop end program main subroutine corrupt (a) int

Could you be more specific? Fortran passes arguments by reference, but writing to an argument won't mess up the "program's only copy of 7". For example, the first output of the following program is 4, but the second is s

Interesting to note that Fourier's two works were published in 1807 and 1822, so that work by Gauss also predates Fourier.

In terms of distance, sure. In terms of delta-v, the budget for the moon is upwards of 50% that for Mars. EDIT: The 50% figure is from memory, and upon further reflection is probably not quite right, so take it with a grain of salt. I just

The author of that random blog is Sean Carroll, professor of physics at Caltech specializing in cosmology and GR. That doesn't mean he must be right, but I feel pretty comfortable citing him.

You don't need a pull up resistor to have a tri state bus.

Sorry to say it, but I got the impression that the author was unaware it was nonsensical, not that it was a clever motivation.

Those markets are also not demanding support because many of them have no display at all. This is definitely true for HPC GPUs and will be true for deep learning servers.

I don't know about Indian trains, but in the U.S. most locomotives are diesel-electric, meaning that they use a diesel powered electric generator coupled to electric motors. Definitely plenty of electricity.

Looks like the JS parser is created using Jison, a parser generator, and the generation of GLSL from the AST is performed in src/backend/webgl/function-node.js using a single-pass tree walk.

Seawater is a pretty great absorber of EM energy at all frequencies above tens of kilohertz, which is probably around the switching frequency of the drive inverter.

The key words are "in classical mechanics." Nobody wondered whether the mass of two stacked bricks was equal to the sum of the masses of the individual bricks. On the other hand, burning cloth seems to "leave behind" a l
