Does this mean we might see an industry shift to RISC-V?

Time for a large industry shift to RISC-V?
I knew XSLT was just a passing fad...it only took 30 years of my career for it to pass...lol.

Thats some nice manager deactivating jargon.

(1) The turbofan category of jet engine seems to inspire a lot of very pretty animated technical diagrams—here’s one set from a German manufacturer [0]. Now if only we could convince Bartozs Ciechanowski to take on such a subject… [1]
(2) I know glider pilots who fly without any fuel at all, once aloft… sounds not unlike the 150-200km glide range that @MaxikCZ mentions at idle from cruising altitude.

Regarding the turbofan and [0], above...if you're communicating to a non-engineer (me), how does the design get to the point of such complexity? I would love to learn the design story behind such an incredibly complex piece of machinery.
I am being serious, if you cannot tell.

The situation still hasn't improved all that much. Just looking around I have electrical tape over the LEDs of my modem, router, computer monitor, soundbar, humidifier, fan, entryway intercom, thermostat. And these are all new devices.
Two words: LED clocks.
> To paraphrase a recent conversation I had with a friend: "in the USA, can illegal immigrants vote?" has a single truthful answer ("no" obviously)
Er, no, the meaning of the question is ambiguous, so I'm not sure "has a single truthful answer" is accurate. What does "can" mean? If you mean "permitted", then no. But if you mean can they vote anyway and get away with it? It's clearly happened before (as rare as it might have been), so technically the answer to that would be be yes.
I'm no linguist, but the question does seem unambiguous, or quite clear, to a reasonable observer. The context is "voting in a US election" AND the subject is "an illegal immigrant" WITH an assumption that the illegal immigrant has, in fact, illegally emigrated to the US.

After running that code on both a Windows SB3 and major souped up Lenovo running Ubuntu...I just feel inadequate.

LOL, here is my C++ implementation of the same concept: https://github.com/os12/calc
I love that you include the BNF-ish grammar. Grammars are so straight-forward to read, I wish my eyes didn't glaze over during those times I've tried to sit down and create one.
