Crazy for me to still own two


I own four in my office. Daily driven, mostly with photo editing tasks but some Blender, too. Work well for us.


Strange words in my head pop up 3 times

Yes to it is unix Wow for the sync What !!! For this

Have to stop reading to avoid brain go crazy


In 1980s ibm has studied and said why sub-second response needed to maintain the mental flow. That time you send a whole screen unlike unix like character by character. This proves very true even when you deal with form processing. I think that we are dealing with the same issue here.

Keep your mental context in your brain is critical


Crossing the chasm.


Basic … that kind of word give me nightmare in my mind when you talked about maths … still remember a book called “elementary set theory” …



"The title is the same as that of a very well-known book by Professor L. E. Dickson (with which ours has little in common). We proposed at one time to change it to 'An introduction to arithmetic', a more novel and in some ways a more appropriate title; but it was pointed out that this might lead to misunderstandings about the content of the book."

            G.H. Hardy and E. M. Wright "An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers"


"The word `basic’ in the title is closer in meaning to `foundational’ rather than `elementary’ [...]" (quoted from that same wikipedia page).


The one math majors joke about is Serra’s A Course in Arithmetic, which is definitely not for young children.


I remember a joke along the lines of "elementary" meaning that someone somewhere has solved it before.


"Any question in maths is either unsolved or obvious."


Not all. But some may. And in case you were shut down someone else can continue and one day it may be resurfaced perhaps even in USA.


Hi there, I have updated the webpage to include all countries/all years. It will give you a warning that the PDF is large. https://cia-factbook-archive.fly.dev/export


Only 100 years. Less than even Leica ? Wow!


Wonder about power usage.


Still not get Steve can program. Always think it is one of his key to his success is do not know this. Oh. It is a myth.


Because not everyone can read the source. Hence might be better to say let us have better summary or take, not just post to the source guy.
