Rest-mass being a somewhat difficult concept if your particle only "exists" in bound systems, i.e. is confined.
But yeah, forget the Higgs, almost all the mass you see around you is generated dynamically by non-perturbative QCD.
Edit: More explanation: If you take the quark masses as unbound rest mass, it's not clear why the proton is bound -- it would have higher energy (=mass) than the unbound constituents. This is different from atoms, as a hydrogen atom has slightly less mass than the sum of a free proton and free electron (13.6eV in the ground state).
<quote>C++ for example, is a hard language, but the learning curve is ... progressive (rise bit by bit).
Rust on the other hand, is like climbing a cliff

c++11+ is a hill that is so freaking high that you do not see the top.. like Olympus Mons.
honestly i do not see much difference in learning c++ or rust - in order to write good programs you should know most of the c++ standard and that's a lot to absorb.
They didn't copy directly, they just re-implemented from memory. I worked for Digital right out of college at the "DEC West" site off 520. A number of my co-workers REALLY hated Microsoft. Swore up & down they had colleges who had seen NT source code when they started working together with Microsoft on "Wolfpack" server clustering that they were using the exact same terms & constants (e.g. structs for system values were identical). Dave Cutler & his crowd were not popular. That $60M - $100M was payoff money to avoid a very public & very nasty copyright suit. And back then, $60M - $100M was considered real money.
Did they really? I thought MS just implemented their own version of the tech and was accused of violating patents. Did they actually steal IP?
Reading the Wikipedia article, it's not really clear what happened. Looks like MS review Stac code during licensing talks, but there's no mention of accusations of code theft. Then there's discussion of patent violation lawsuits and payoffs going both directions.
That's a little disingenuous. The "recipe ideas" were from the same minds that came up with them originally. This comes down to who really owns an idea, the entity that paid for it or the mind that thought it.
Those who say there's nothing like a nice cup of tea for calming the nerves never had real tea. It's like a syringe of adrenaline straight to the heart!
