RPN is cool, glad to see stuff like this still being written. Back in undergrad we used to program our HP calculators in RPL, Reverse Polish Lisp, which I found very hard to grok at the time but a few of us managed to cobble together a set

Sure, nepotism and corruption also exist. Sometimes hiring managers just get it wrong, and there is nothing nefarious afoot. There are of course also "diverse" people that get unfairly overlooked because racism, but underqualifi

In my experience, I find aerospace quality control systems are large behemoths in and of themselves and poorly suited to software development. It's disappointing but not surprising that large orgs cut corners on software quality proce

I'd imagine that there are some sharp edge cases where a nearby straight-line distance is a suboptimal choice due to peculiarities of submarine cables or irregular point to point links of some other sort.
