I suggest reading some of the Asahi Linux wiki to get a feel for the Apple Silicon architecture. There’s a lot of tight integration there with many custom co-processors, that’s going to make life difficult for the prospective hackintosh.

Can somebody make a joke about “one of the classic blunders?”

All I’m saying is, there’s no way this would pass a MIL-STD-882 safety assessment in the twenty first century. So I have no idea how they got their spaceworthiness certificate.

Once again I remind you all that these consoles are not powered by a substance as boring as regular electricity. Oh no. It has to be highly energetic tuned plasma…straight to the user interface consoles…for, uh, reasons.

This is the thing. You can’t use a circuit breaker if you’re powering your control console directly with “tuned plasma”.

MSVC is probably about the same as mingw. Compiling stuff on Windows is slower because compiling creates a lot of short lived processes, and process creation is a lot more expensive on Windows NT.

Also look at “Negative Temperature”.

Negative temperature means that the system loses entropy if you put more energy in. This means that negative temp is hotter than any positive temperature, in the sense that if you put two systems in thermal contact, heat will flow from negative to positive.

In the continuum of temperatures, positive absolute zero is the coldest, going up to positive infinity Kelvins. Then minus infinity Kelvins is just slightly hotter than positive infinity. Then it keeps going up to negative absolute zero, the hottest temperature.

These infinities keep cropping up because the reciprocal of temperature is actually the more fundamental physical quantity.

Novels are a lower tier of canon, and appear on the Memory Beta wiki, instead of Memory Alpha. There is also a third tier wiki called Memory Gamma. Memory Alpha is generally considered to be an authoritative source on primary canon.
