You need some reference. The latitude grid is available anywhere on your chart, with multiple subdivisions, so even when your boat is shaking like crazy you'll be able to draw a course ad hoc (which requires estimating drifts due to wi

The math is not done in ones head but using a plotter on a chart. As long as latitude is defined as it is, nautical miles have meaning.

Nautical miles are used in sailing because they correspond (nearly) directly to an arcminute of latitude which simplifies chart navigation.

From my understanding, there are some words that are usually written in Hiragana anyhow (which always confuses me when that word contains a は). I don't think it would hurt to replace usage of Kanji by introduction of visible word bound

Your example doesn't make sense. Linux distributions have always had this trade off: Binaries provided through the package manager work with the libraries that are provided by the same package manager. I have a bunch of older gog or Hu

Python inports collect the locals in the "module script" and store them in a module object, which is then made available to the module that ran `import`. That module object is cached, so reimporting the module another time will no

Because they'll get the bug reports. It's very annoying having a bunch of "unofficial" releases floating around for a project one maintains.

I'd say that this is an application of Fubini's theorem which is very clearly calculus (or analysis, not sure where the distinction is drawn in English).

x86-64 was the original name by AMD, they rebranded it shortly before commercial availability to AMD64. Kernels and compilers had already been updated at that time and just kept the "old" name.

IGBT: insulated-gate bipolar transistor. Allows for fast and efficient switching of high current circuits and are thus used (from my understanding) to modulate the power that goes to the motor.

And if you have a shitty record player, it will sound even worse. I don't think this can count in any way, reasonable CD players are easy to obtain and in the worst case you can always pull a FLAC play through whatever high-quality DAC

Khronos is only responsible for OpenGL since 2006 (essentially 3.0), DirectX 8 came out in 2000. In the relevant timeframe for the OP, the ARB was responsible, which has nothing to do with Vulkan.
