Theres heaps of stuff that is under-developed or mssing, but they prefer to rewrite working code in Rust, because ideology.

We are witnessing the death of Linux here, no less, replacing a working kernal with an still undefined language that everyone will have forgotten in 5 years.

How about the deafening silence from the Jewish community.

The IBM 503, the last valve computer, that Cobol and Fortran, the first languages were developed on, had 20 bit words.

So an 80 column card could fit 4 words across. Thats why teletypes and terminals had 80 coulmns of text - so they were the same size as punch cards.

Fortran only used 72 columns, so the last 8 were unused.

It seems weird, but on early computers bytes were not based on multiples of 8 or 4 (like 8 but, 16 bit, 32 bit etc). Some computers had 15, 10, 7, 25, even 50 bit words.

Bic lighters are made in France. 25% is peanuts to them, they get much higher tariffs in south america.

Everything is a turbo now which is “more efficient” but there is no way they will last as long as the naturally aspirated V6 or V8s that would go for 400-500k miles.

You do know that turbocharged engines don’t rev as much don’t you ? They last longer.

A 1.8L NA Atsra put out 92 kW at 6000 rpm. The 1.6L turbo version put out 134kW at 2800 rpm.

I wouldn’t say it was a failure.

It sold quite well considering its price.

The original specifications and price were never going to be met,
