I'm not related to this in any way – so I can't speak for them. That said, the dependency is still mentioned in the Readme. Provided that there are dependencies like Dojo and that that this was written in a time, when everything c

Originally, the term has really been just opposed to batch processing, in connection with systems like Whirlwind, SAGE, the DEC PDP-1 (as the first commercial real-time system) and is tightly connected to the idea of interactive computing.

Regarding the realism of this, I feel eerily reminded of projects for civil use of fission bombs in the 1950s.

Marginally related: HyperScope by bootstrap.org (Doug Engelbart Institute). This is somewhat similar by providing hierarchical views into complex documents and referencing sections by ID, but is more realistic by doing this by a linear dril

We are doomed. Well, more seriously speaking, there's a serious issue behind these anecdotes: with things like Content ID and automated moderation, I see no alternative to any platforms for user generated content with even the slight

As a European, I have a hard time understanding what the US is doing and not doing regarding broadband regulations. As I do understand it from a distance, the ISPs had always argued and broadened their claims with regard to data that is acc

I think, Fran has been quite public regarding her economic struggles. While maybe popular to some audiences, she is certainly not a millionaire. On the other hand, cases like this provide publicity to the very problem that is haunting many

The problem being, there must be at least one, unique competitor of critical mass. Otherwise, YT will be always the dominant platform.

I think, what could be called illegal is Content ID being used to actually block public domain content from being used on such terms. Restricting monitarization of said content to the point of becoming exclusive to a single party pretty muc

Personally, I don't think that the system being rigged is the problem, but the path to justice being obstructed. Thus, there is no correction and no remedy. And, why are people still on YT? Well, because it's where everybody is. I

> The rift dates to WW1, not the 1930s (…) What I wrote is that the rift dates back to the late 19th century and had become rather an abyss by the early 1930s (considering things like the Iron Front).

The rather obvious, funny thing being that Turing went on to work very practically on consequences of the liar paradox (if were to define lying as illegitimate, thus paradox information ).

Which meant that we would be still stuck with the Newcomen atmospheric engine as the settled technology? High steam pressure isn't just about a wandering ant, but about the major step in the development of the steam engine, opening the

But why would you want to use such a flimsy technology, if you have horses? There is no way an engine like this could outrun a lean and speedy chariot with two to four horses. Also, even a primitive mechanism like this may have encountered

Mind that the article mentions a Dutch patent from 1598. On the other hand, the development of the steam engine and its application is partly grounded in Trevithick's fierce rejection of existing patents (hence high steam pressure) and

My favorite example is the Antikythera mechanism. It is quite clear that this had not been a one-of-a-kind, but that there must have been (many) predecessors of this technology to arrive at the kind of workmanship and layout that doesn&#x27

Just good old 19th century play write logic. In essence, it's about not seeing the role of an economic window of opportunity for opening up a then rapidly advancing segment of the "tech tree". E.g., the idea of the locomotive
