Talk:German Americans

message: There was a section on German language usage that assumed language is the only test of "assimilation" into American culture.  I revised it to make clear that only language usage is covered --not the much broader question of assimilation. ("assimilation" into the US economy, US military, religion, intermarriage etc is a big topic).  However four mysterious IP editors have repeatedly erased the original and revised section with no discussion here. user:179.6.199.197 user:91.236.35.189 user:95.76.3.133 and user:172.78.41.232   None of them has ever made a contribution to this page or related pages, so it looks suspicious.  Meanwhile four actual editors have reversed their blanking-- myself, user:Favonian User:LiliCharlie, and  user:Indyguy  Finally  user:Favonian has protected the page against what clearly is " Persistent disruptive editing".

message: In the section about Religion of German Americans there are these two lines. -
"Some 19th-century immigrants, especially the "Forty-Eighters", were secular, rejecting formal religion. About 250,000 German Jews had arrived by the 1870s, and they sponsored reform synagogues in many small cities across the country. About two million Central and Eastern European Jews arrived from the 1880s to 1924, bringing more traditional religious practices.[137]
Does this mean, that all Jews are considered to be German immigrants? - Or would it not better to include these lines into the article American Jews? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jews  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:C148:9E00:11EA:CAC5:27B5:CD91 (talk) 15:46, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

National Socialism is a redirect to Nazism and the latter is the more commonly used name for that movement in English.

I personally possess a coin that with the date 1896! That could be a fake, as I assume so could the coin on this page that is dated at 1890.

thread_title:  Confusion about start of minting 

message: I opt for removing this section, as the content ist not accurate. Not only that the cited source (article of NZZ) covers a problem of these days, that has nothing to do with the time, when the gold for the vrenelis was mined. But it also doesn't give any source whatsoever for the claim, that the vreneli was minted with gold of Peruvian origin. The author merely mentions at the end of the article, that some of the gold, mined these days and discussed in the article, might have been transported to Switzerland later, where gold bars and vrenelis might have been cast/minted using that gold (obviously the author is not aware of the fact, that Switzerland hasn't minted anymore vreneli in the last 68 years, and she uses the term "vreneli" just for "bullion", as many people do in Switzerland - due to the popularity of those coins).

Talk:Judau Ashta

message: It's far from the only problem with this article (and I don't have the dedication to do the complete overhaul that would be needed to fix it), but the Amuro and Char fan-wanking needs to go. Char wasn't clearly "second only to Amuro" in CCA; he was piloting what was at the time the most powerful mobile suit ever made. The Sazabi's official stats show it to be superior in every measurable way to Amuro's Nu Gundam. It's faster, has a higher reactor output, and is more powerfully armed. Despite that, Amuro basically took Char to school. Likewise, Amuro's feats in the movie had at least as much to do with the technology at his disposal as with his Newtype power. The reason why CCA is the first time Amuro is able to use a psycommu system is it's the first time he's piloted a mobile suit that has one! Likewise, he's able to create a beam barrier not because he's the strongest Newtype ever (which is at the very least open to debate) but because the Nu Gundam was specifically designed with that ability. That's a tribute to Amuro's often-overlooked engineering talent (he designed the Nu Gundam himself), not to his Newtype power.
Beyond that, this article is about Judau, not Amuro and Char.68.47.234.131 05:22, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Super Harvard Architecture Single-Chip Computer

message: A large amount of the detail in this article seems to be about the implications of SHARC being a word machine.  Somewhat awkwardly.  I hope that this is not appropriate.  Historically, lots of machines have not had byte addressing.
I don't know anything about the Mercury product, but synthesizing byte pointers (or at least character pointers) is normal on a word machine.  If you are implementing a language like C, this can make code for ordinary programs a bit bloated.  Programs written for an ordinary language don't suffer from this.  A striking example is the language BCPL, C's precursor: it assumed that the machine was a word machine.

thread_title: word machine

message: There is not much discussion of the implications of a Harvard architecture.
* HA normally allows access to instructions and data to be completely parallel, without interference.  Good for performance.
* HA makes it natural for the data and instruction word sizes to be different
* HA means it is surprising that the same memory could be allocated to either instructions or data, and yet I infer that the SHARC can do this, both with the on-chip and off-chip memory
* HA makes the overlay mechanism worth discussing: by default, in HA, there is no way to modify program code under program control
DHR 15:50, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose it's only HA in that one wouldn't normally waste 48-bit words to store 40-bit or 32-bit data. One also wouldn't want to execute from off-chip memory because then the instruction fetches would compete with use of the memory for data. Overlays are normally moved via the chip's built-in DMA engine. There is also a special set of transfer registers that can be used, viewable as either 48-bit or as a 32-bit/16-bit pair.
