I think it will take way more than political will. The USA is enjoying the wealth they gained in both world wars and they also kept their defacto colonies in the South America and Pacific. Europeans destroyed their wealth in the world wars

When installed and kept up properly with good policymaking railways are always a positive for the economy. They cause a huge amount of cheap movement that increases business activity. Little towns that become railway stops develop much fast

Nope it isn't. You just aren't experienced in system programming. Working with hardware is unsafe since it has state that one cannot completely encapsulate in a single program. The entire specific design of a chip isn't avail

To be able to decode under heavy interference you need heavy error correction in the digital hardware and in the standard. Nobody designs space-grade consumer radios. You are basically limited with the bits you have and the recovery you hav

Basically CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs all converge to the crab equivalent of computation. They all expose the same capability with different areas of optimization.

Well you, the programmer, usually don't upload it. Some package maintainer does it since they want your software and ideally they should handle the bug reports for their package as well.

Not always. There are plenty games that work without the Steam libraries. Also GOG exists and very healthy with explicit no DRM policy.

Ring -1 is the host system / virtual machine manager when the ring 0 OS is running as a VM. Ring -2 is more privileged than that since it can interrupt Ring -1 and can affect the execution of VM instructions.

Sorry but your argument is baseless. There is nothing in NT kernel that forces a certain UI toolset nor it deals with the UI anymore (it briefly did when PCs were less powerful via GDI API, not anymore). Linux kernel and its modesetting fac

If you don't have enough manpower who can control and collaborate on the development of the environment, the project will not succeed to be adopted. Programming language-specific dependency tools succeeded due to their user friendlines

Does it handle binary dependencies and Python ABI changes well? Does it isolate them from almost the entire operating system? Conda does those. Conda packages compiled such that the search paths of the binaries are not using the OS's (

If you are a silicon designer or a fab, RISCV costs nothing to license. People think this might cause more production-grade open hardware being introduced to the scene, but I don't think so. Anything that is worth selling to the actual

No. Not really. Is Make a shell? It isn't. Neither is CMake. Python can be used as one but it really lacks niceties that an actual shell would provide. A cross platform shell with limited capabilities would do the job for me but it is

This is where the "ungodly" funds of Cold War make the difference. There is little incentive in the US government to spend at once as much and take political risk as much as it did back then.
