People do mention Veritasium, though he doesn't give any significant explanation of the phenomenon.
I still wonder about 47. In Veritasium plots, all these numbers provide a peak, but not 47. I recall from my childhood that I indeed used to notice that number everywhere, but idk why.
Why are you citing Navalny (granted, fascist) and not Dugin, Rogozin and Prokhanov who are actually close to the current government?
And let's not forget about Putin's obsession with Ilyin, who, and I don't want to put words incorrectly here, is a literal fascist, like a canonical one.
Java is indeed slower than C, Rust, in some cases than Go.
But that doesn't mean that
code will run faster if written in, say, C
Again, like 80-90% of production code are bounded by disk/network io operations. You will gain performance from using C in embedded systems and in heavy calculations (games, trading, simulations) only.
That's a long lasting tradition to use "we" even in solo authored papers. I believe even Newton did this
