If I read your source correctly, there is no real advantage of 60 Hertz or 50 Hertz, and the decision was usually due to circumstantial reasons, like supporting some existing arc-lights or difficulties with induction motors. Induction motor

Are you simply trolling or just so cynical that you can't read about some people having fun with mathematics on computers on a site called Hacker News without feeling the need to insult a whole discipline and building strawmen? I don&#

You are completely right - but this distinction is just dead today. I read a lot of technical documentation that involves FQDNs and they almost never include a dot. Adding the dot often leads to problems as example.com and example.com. will

Nordstream was already out of use when it was sabotaged, and the death of the German economy is greatly overstated. Things are not fine, but companies still can afford to buy Nvidia cards.

A big difference is that caffeine isn't addictive. It may seem like it, and you do get a few headaches when you quit cold turkey, but you just don't get the intense graving you get with addictions.

The GDR (East Germany) also had its own TLD, .dd (for Deutsche Demokratische Republik), but it was never operated in the global DNS and there were only like two registrations.

Yes, at least for Christians. I don't know if it comes verbatim from the Bible, but there are many denominations that find that gambling is sinful. Direct prohibitions from the scripture aren't the only source of religious rules -

Gabe Newell of Valve famously hated the Cell architecture, and I think that's very illustrative. He is of the generation of game devs that was very willing to try wild algorithms and hand-massage assembly and use all tricks to get 3D f

If the coin is biased so that it lands on heads only 1 in a million times it will take a lot of coin throws to get some randomness out of it. This isn't a limit of the technique, just a consequence of the low entropy source.

There used to be a premium number you could send an SMS to. It was more expensive than a normal stamp to cover for the expensive billing. "Handyporto" replaced this and that's probably also why you can't buy it on the we

Akira was a big budget corporate thing though. It's technical excellence came from having the budget to employ multiple highly skilled animation leads and hundreds of animators drawing hundreds of thousands of cells.

Akira is a cult classic and a pivotal point in anime - much more in the US than in Japan. If you don't know of a film surpassing it in skill and consideration in the thirty years since it was made it probably says more about your expos
