Henrik O. Lunde's "Finland's War of Choice" is a very good and objective description. It's focus is in the German-Finnish co-operation, but I think it gives a very good overview of the war as well.

Thanks! Tesla's progress sure has been impressive even with the correct figures.

Nope, that's just the U.S. sales figures for BMW (says so in the link). You need to add the European sales of the 3-series (129,000) and 4-series (64,000) with the China figures (123,000) to get a bit closer to the global figure of 41

Actually it seems there is a mixup in the original text between DN (Distinguished Name) and CN (Common Name). The former is a generic term for a structured X.500 name, the latter a specific field in the Subject Name of a certificate, which

That is not my argument, because I do not think microkernels have failed. Sorry, if it came out that way. I do not have a strong opinion one way or the other, just curious if there is something to what Linus said and more than meets the eye

Good points. Nevertheless, it's still puzzling why microkernels have done so poorly, despite them being superiour in theory. Almost all the ones mentioned here have waned into a curiosity or niche, and maybe also QNX starts to get a bi

Not kidding, but granted, it would have been fair to say that we can now get more evidence. I knew about QNX, and Minix, Symbian and GNU Hurd are also microkernels. It's just that despite all the good arguments for 30+ years, microke

Microkernel, huh? At least now we will have a chance to get some empirical evidence to resolve the famous Torvalds - Tanenbaum debacle. It's going to be interesting to see how Fuchsia pans out and in what kind of environments it can be

Most people are not rich, but if the richest 1/10 spend ten times the amount of what the rest in average, that alone almost doubles the total average. Averages are funny that way. I don't think this is even far fetched, because if

The math in the article is not quite right. Growth from 1.2 trillion to 2.1 trillion in 17 years (1996-2013) only amounts to 3.3% annual growth, which is not that far away from the 2.4% of the overall economic growth. The U.S. does spend mo

No, it is not ridiculous, it is meticulous. That's one style and approach in programming and not without merits. I personally like exceptions, as they enable focusing into what's supposed to happen instead of what all could go wro

Thanks for this, I think you are on to something here! After all, why not free the human potential from manual labour to something more ...humane?

That's right. The numbers above are in the vicinity of 2^60. A typical ECC keylenght is 256 bits, and all numbers in that space are equally good secret keys. The remaining almost 200 bits still present something of an obstacle.

You take a large tree with a large surface area that's transpiring lots of carbon and replace it with a sapling with a small surface area. Yes that sapling is, over time, turning carbon into tree trunk, but that time scale for tha

Not in the imperial time, no. Dostoyevsky's The House of the Dead is an interesting account of his time in Siberia, and it wasn't all that bad. It was different in Stalin's time, though. Varlam Shalamov's Kolyma tales te
