The HP3000 [0] ("classic", pre-PA-RISC) was stack-based. It was a pretty popular business machine; the Classic architecture was produced between early 70s and early 90s. It was 16-bit, segmented, Harvard, and competed against IBM

So then, would this be true: The specific value for the entropy of a system depends upon the definition of the microvariables. However, regardless of the definition used, the measured value will increase over time. In the deck of cards exam

So, in other words, yes, entropy is subjective, and depends upon your definition of variables (and ordering). What's the other argument, leading to debate?

My question is "why does the symbol '1', followed by '2', ... '52' define an ordered state?" It would seem that the "cheat sheet" which defines the progression is part of the system. Not sur

There's all kinds of these artificial enhancements in aircraft. They range from "stick shakers" [0] (which cause the control stick/yoke to shake when the plane detects a near-stall) to yaw dampers (which counteract &quot

Hmm. OK, better wording would be "Handling mitigation such as MCAS is required in order...". I've seen several news articles, such as the one cited, which reported that the yoke forces decreased near stall AoA in certain flig

"Reversal of control force", not "reversal of controls". There's also section 25.175, which stipulates "The stick force curve must have a stable slope at speeds"... and gives speed ranges for climb, cruise

See edit 2, citing regulation which must be met by all transport aircraft. I think also §25.255 Out-of-trim characteristics, (b) (1) The stick force vs. g curve must have a positive slope at any speed up to and including VFC/MFC

Then you probably don't want to fly in a T-tail jet. [0] [1] Or a helicopter [2]. Or in a jetliner at cruise. [3] [4] The fact is, every single airplane ever built is unstable in the wrong circumstances. They stall, they spin, they lo

Ironically, I believe that your information is also inaccurate. MCAS is required in order to meet federal airworthiness requirements . Without it, in certain flight conditions the back-pressure on the control yoke gets less as the yoke is

I'm not optimistic. 1. Hold your hands together, palms open, as if you were praying. 2. Press them together very hard, and at the same time try to slide them past one another. 3. Predict exactly when they will slip, by how much, and ho
