I'm sure it could generate a decent device tree

The US also did annex large parts of what used to be Mexico in the 19th century, so you don't even technically have so be an immigrant to speak Spanish

Unless you're 126 years old, that excuse doesn't really hold up. Plenty of immigrants came from Italy, Poland, and Russia more recently than your mentioned time, but you don't hear Press 3 for Italian too often.

Well... they weren't immigrants, they were annexed. Why should they speak English?

They didn't have to. But they also shouldn't expect the annexing government or populace to accommodate them.

Their country lost the war, lost the territory, and those that stayed and chose to take American citizenship should've learned English, the (de facto) language of the country they chose to join.


People still speak German in South Tyrol even though it's part of Italy since 1919.

> Russian is another “difficult” language, but all the satellite nations had no problem picking it up.

Russian is not more difficult than English and a lot of the satellite states were speaking other Slavic languages. If you already speak Spanish, it's less difficult to pick up Italian too.


I would envision to see some more GPU drivers from Chinese companies like MooreThreads


> but there’s no real way to coordinate that in society from the top down without being authoritarian.

PR comes to mind. They managed to convince millions of people that smoking is 'cool', we just need another Bernays to do the same for having kids.


You often have a radio clock source like DCF77 that all those radio controlled clocks use


Quake and Doom sure come to mind


C is not a subset of C++, there are some subtle things you can do in C that are not valid C++


It is when compared with C89, also the ISO C++ requires inclusion of ISO C standard library.

The differences are the usual that occur with guest languages, in this case the origin being UNIX and C at Bell Labs, eventually each platform goes its own merry way and compatibility slowly falls apart with newer versions.

In regards to C89 the main differences are struct and unions naming rules, () means void instead of anything goes, ?: precedent rules, implicit casts scenarios are reduced like from void pointers.


Some subtle and some not so subtle.


Same that happens with Starlink satellites that are obsolete or exhausted their fuel - they burn up in the atmosphere.


> You could argue that it doesn't really count though because it was only turing complete in theory

Then you have to also count the Z3 which predates the Colossus by 2 years.
