All first five titles in the Touhou series can only run on PC98.
The sixth title is the first one to run on windows.
There was also a large amount of revamp of the settings, backgrounds and characters. The first 5 titles have settings so different their stories are rarely considered canon now.
> In 20 years Matlab will be as legacy as Fortran is now
Not if MathWorks keep offering discounts to universities for putting MATLAB in the courses, gotta get those undergrads "hooked" early before graduating.
Which of course is brought to you by Stephen Wolfram, president, CEO and founder of Wolfram Research Inc., designer of Wolfram Language™ which is available in Wolfram Mathematica™.
Counter example: MATLAB.
Proprietory software, proprietory language, yet it remains unrivalled in control engineering, DSP, communication systems and so on.
I genuinely hope that Octave can take off and trade blows with MATLAB face to face, but not sure if that will ever happen simply because of the amount of money MathWorks is pumping into developing toolboxes.
In a sense, Kolmolgorov complexity and Shannon entropy can basically be considered as equivalent concepts: they both define the minimum amount of information required to fully define a given piece of data.
The theorem you are looking for is Shannon's Source Coding Theorem[1]. It basically states that no encoding scheme can losslessly compress data beyond the given data's Shannon entropy.
I'm afraid there really isn't any hobbiest simulators out there. A lot of these arrangements rely on the intrinsic characteristics and geometry of the MOSFETs used.
The ZVA is an vector network analyzer, not an oscilloscope.
Don't get me wrong, the ZVA is still an extremely impressive piece of engineering, but not even close to what Keysight had achieved with the UXR.
> With any three things, you have harmony to humans.
In math, specifically dynamical systems, a lot of interesting stuff starts appearing after some variable goes up from 2 to 3, such as Period 3 Implies Chaos[1] for discrete maps, and the chaos in the 3 bodies problem. In continuous time systems, having 3 variable is the necessary condition for chaos to occur.
My personal guess and take away is that having 3 of something is the bare minimum for nontrivial interactions to happen.
I fully agree with what you said about AC/DC, just want to point out that DC benefits superconductors as well since superconductors have critical current densities where they lose their super conductivity.
> But then there is the tradeoff of the popularity and availability of 12VDC devices due to RV/Boating.
Which is exactly why we need to get away from those 12V old garbages asap. 12V is so bloody wasteful, in terms of both wasted power and wasted conductor material.
The only reason why its still around is people got used to it and don't wanna change.
Since we are doing DC-DC, I'd say we go with the highest DCV we can get away with. 12V is just simply too low and the associated I^2R losses will be unacceptable.
