Wouldn't it be much more accurate to say that both Wireless Set Number 10 and the nascent radar technology in the early 1940s independently took advantage of the recent (<1 year?) invention of the cavity magnetron?

Nationalization of large industrial corporations (like SpaceX is) on the basis of being considered vital for industrial interests of the state was the hallmark of all nascent socialist countries in the middle of the 20th century, so say

Could the window manager be configured to communicate with this mechanism? The window manager knows what windows you're manipulating at the moment. (I imagine that terminal processes would be somewhat more complicated to handle.)

...how do the final two sentences of your post change anything? And no, that had nothing to do with the Defense Production Act. US Defense Production Act has nothing to do with nationalization. And our situation had nothing to do with it; i

I bet one of the issues is that there's actually too few of them. While Ukraine is fairly small compared to the US, it's still no slouch. The front was as long at one point as the distance between the northern and southern borde

SLA? My understanding is that this is typical for connectivity options. Whether you're on a 1:50 aggregation or 1:10 aggregation or 1:1 aggregation may massively affect costs of an X Mb/s connection for any offered value of X. Thi

I was simply assuming that the average instruction for a Lisp implementation would be more substantial in terms of length the sequence of native instructions than an average instruction for a translation of C code. The closest thing that co

I'm sure that systems like ScmUtils wouldn't have problems with this.

Wait, so the response to regulatory capture by companies should be...regulation by companies? Like, just removing the middleman?

The Czechoslovak Republic was pretty much the last democratic country in the region. To say that those elections were "not free" requires a massive amount of guts. They were as free as you get in that time and place. If 90% of a G

It's a lower bound estimate: Even if all "male losers" voted for the SdP, at least 80% of women would have to vote for the SdP, too, for SdP to get the results it did. So I assume you'd refer to them as "female lo

"Kind of free?" Are you kidding me? The absolutely laughable claim above was that women were not to be blamed for the electoral victories of Nazis. The fact that at least 80% of German women in Czechoslovakia voted for Nazis in fr

The May 1938 elections were absolutely free. Where did you get that they weren't free? > And even there, women voted less for SdP than the overall German community did. 80% minimum is "less than overall German community"?

At least 80% of German women voted for Henlein and SdP in 1938 long after Hitler had been in power and known for what he was. "Women just didn't like em that much" is pure fantasy.

...or the 90-ish percent of votes for Henlein in the Sudeten? That would mean that at least 80% of all women voted for Henlein.

While it may not be "a requirement", considering that the very first compiler I'm aware of (Böhm's) was already written in itself, it's a fairly valid question why wouldn't you make an educational compiler with

Greeks came up with logical proofs for their claims. That's what defines mathematics. Ancient Egyptians didn't have those.

I'm surprised by the writer completely ignoring the possibility of blast injury to the lungs...? Blowing into a hose connected to a space in which an explosion takes place would worry me much more than what the lid might do.

This is a different namespace though. Nothing to do with data structures. Also, ends with an 's'.

Well, I should hope so. Nevertheless every dependency removed completely removes even the possibility of such breakage.

The question here is how much can you disambiguate between the impact of GC and the impact of differently written code plus differently optimizing compiler backend (where Go is still very simple but Rust uses LLVM). If for example the Go co
