It wasn't easy to geofence due to fluid nature of the frontline and lack of single official supply channel to Ukraine. A huge part of Ukrainian terminals were also procured abroad by volunteers. However a recent development was Russian

High vacuum in enormous volumes maybe. Otherwise it was certainly a problem solved decades ago. Not sure what role of EUV optics was in LHC. But Zeiss would develop you anything on the frontier of optics if you have deep enough pockets. The

EUV lith would have absolutely been achieved if LHC wasn't ever built.

On the scale of decades that's an incorrect assumption, unless you mean running the compiler within an emulated system.

Indeed many people who subscribe to Rational Actor theory of politics are stupefied by this. However the thing about personalistic dictatorships is their foreign policy and aggression are all subject to the whims of one person, even though

If you do a somewhat bad thing with no pushback it becomes possible to do a somewhat worse thing with no pushback. Gradually you end up doing really bad things with total impunity.

I feel like commenting on the article without reading was really vindicated with the advent of AI slop.

Most of those files are device/fs/network drivers and various arch support. The core you need to comprehend is not that much larger than systemd.

Come on GUI apps are not systems programming, what's with this title inflation.

I think what we'll see as AI companies collect more usage data the requirements for knowing what you do will sink lower and lower. Whatever advantage we have now is transient.

I mean Cray-1 backplane was wire-wrapped, it definitely should have worked for 486.

One thing I like for prototyping with through hole parts is Verowire pen which kind of combines wire wrap with soldering. It uses thin wire in self-fluxing insulation. You can use the pen to wrap a bunch of components that go in series with

Generally when people say urbanisation is the cause of fertility decline they mean people moving out of 7 child families at subsistence farms and rice paddies to city factories. Not any developments in Denmark or the Netherlands in last 150

Decline happens also in territories that had been urbanized decades or even centuries ago but had positive fertility rate until 2010s. As I said you can pull a patchy blanket of micro-theories explaining each region but not one theory that

Sure, it is quite far-fetched. However it is extremely uncommon that we experience unified social trends all across the board, from liberal Finland or Japan to North Korea and Taliban-run Afghanistan. Usually there are odd reversals and exc

Poor methodology or even some bug in an Excel macro at the UN headquarters could well be a reason behind the sudden, synchronous decline of population in all cultures and political systems of this planet. And like the article suggests it ca
