> But a dynamic language can have types associated with variables, and it can forbid changing those types after their types have been checked the first time. So, like C++ with `auto`?

> static typing: 2 + "2" does not compile/parse (e.g. Python vs mypy, Typescript vs JS) I think this example is not correct, because static typing doesn’t affect how values of different types interact. And while I don’t kn

Strongly agree. One should question tradition, not uphold it because it tradition . (Sure, tearing everything down for the sake of it is unproductive, but I’m not advising that.) Every time one does something because “that’s how it’s done”

Try reading physics books that introduce the maths as an instrument (e.g. Wald’s General relativity to learn tensor calculus, you only need the first few chapters), they usually explain concepts and notation in simpler terms. However, they

I can’t speak for true mathematicians, but as a (mostly theoretical) physicist I would hate to write my maths in plain English. Notation is used precisely because it’s easier, more efficient (to write and to read) to use it instead of prose

Some of those are way off, IMO: - What CPU makes a thousand cycles per second? - How is fastest electronic switching slower than fastest computer operation? - AFAIK, DDR5 access time is -8 or -7, not -6. - Earth rotation frequency is -5, no

It’s the same in (mathematical) physics: I routinely say something like “let’s look very far away, say z=10” to my workgroup. :P

You could get another one of those machines and turn it on with a precisely calculated delay. :P

> efficiency for the coming decade They were future proofing though: the "I" is between "8" and "9", so they were optimising for the next 130 years, not merely coming decades.

Sure, but it’s the only thing they really can do in the situation, i.e. cause as much stir as they can to hopefully draw public attention to the matter.

That surely wouldn’t sit well with the public?

I can be criminally charged for encrypting my data (and keeping it encrypted)? That’s mental! Guess, I better delete that big file of random numbers from my computer.

Hmm, 150 mAh? How long does it last for in real use? Do you have to charge the keyboard often?

Ehm, do you claim space exploration cases a meaningful impact on the global climate in a world built on burning fossil fuel, refining iron ore, making almost everything out of mostly non recycled plastic, and eating cows and chickens? ._.
