AFAIR .. it wasn't even banned during the Imperial Russian times; rather it was just considered a "Russian" dance.
Never heard of the Polonez being banned during PRL times... We sure danced it out in the fields then (though this was later times).

Article II Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, "the President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States."
Not that the constitution matters ...
It is a great way of spreading the word ... many small organizations don't have the man power to do "other things" (like looking up how to apply for strange grants, let alone maybe know about them).
Though I wouldn't say that it is the same as "sight reading" -- but maybe "sight singing"?
Maybe we should make one more standard .. that consolidates all of them? ;-)
All instruments have a "sweet" spot for where they like to make sound. The baroque flute for example, prefers the key of D -- not C. The violin is very at home in the key of A.
If you sit down at a piano, and find a place to put your fingers a somewhat natural place would where there are two white keys beside two black keys.
And then press them in order.. C major scale.
The piano has C natural in the middle of a full 88 keyboard, which is why it is a "natural" scale to pick (C major only uses the white keys, while A major would use three black keys).
So if you are learning another instrument, your "base" note will sometimes be entirely different.
Many "non-western" tradition also aren't tuned to 440 Hz, and even many _western_ traditions don't use 440 Hz for A, 415 Hz is also common.
[addendum] And why Do/Ut, Re, Mi? Because of a Gregorian chant where each sound sorta fell into a vocal range of monks ... then you adopt Do to whatever "sound" the instrument is closest, many years pass and deviations and standardizations ...
[addendum] I recommend starting out researching Guido d'Arezzo (and the Guidonian hand) a bit, that is where we get do/re/mi .. which was used as a teaching aid (which is maybe why Solfege as a term is often used in combination to sight reading or singing from sheet music). Almost no matter what language someone sings/voices Do/Re/Mi/... ... it falls naturally into a vocal range, irrespective of octave.
And then one could look into the hexachord ... and deep into a very deep well of confusion.
In fixed Solfège, that would become La Si Do ... but in movable Solfège, Do would be A, Re would be B ...
C, D, ... are real notes? Some countries do Solfège, some don't.
That GNU/Linux hit its stride "in the 2000s" is ... what is revisionism of history here to the point of it being an absurd thing to say.
FreeBSD came quite a bit later than GNU and Linux. The BSDs were also plagued by the whole AT&T mess.
As someone who was around at the time… I cannot really relate to your comment.
It is a tiny distinction, but generally I'd say that a simulator tries to accurately replicate what happens on an electrical level as good one can do.
While an emulator just does things as a black box ... input produces the expected output using whatever.
You could compare it to that an accurate simulator of a 74181 tries to do it by using AND/OR/NOT/... logic, but an emulator does it using "normal code".
In HDL you have a similar situation between structural, behavioral design ... structural is generally based on much more lower level logic (eg., AND/NOR/.. gates ...), and behavioral on higher logic (addition, subtraction ...).
"100%" accuracy can be achieved with both methods.
A compiler takes the same thing, but produces an intermediate form (byte code, machine code, another languages sometimes called "transpilar"). That you can then pass through an interpreter of sorts.
There is no difference between Java and JVM, and Python and the Python Virtual Machine, or even a C compiler targeting x86 and a x86 CPU. One might call some byte code, and the other machine code .. they do the same thing.
As for the comparison with the JVM .. compare to a compiler that produces x86 code, it cannot be run without an x86 machine. You need a machine to run something, be it virtual or not.
A compiler processes the code and provides an intermediate result which is then "interpreted" by the machine.
So to take the "writes it in byte code" -- that is a compiler. "executes the byte code" -- is the interpreter.
If byte code is "machine code" or not, is really secondary.
Simply has never been the case.
Just using any Copyleft software has no legal consequences (copyleft licenses kick in when distributing, not using them).
The GDPR doesn't mean you can delete everything you have written on the Internet wholesale, it means to be forgotten .. and renaming an account is exactly in line with that.
Under specific circumstances. It could be easily argued that deleting comments would fall under the first example of the link you posted -- unless you're a minor.
The GDPR doesn't require any means to download data though, and it is mainly for PII.
It is a known fact that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.
While Ukraine is tip toeing a very fine line defending itself and Europe against Russian aggression (e.g., barely allowed to neutralizing military targets in Russia).
