The Honourable Schoolboy Updated +Created
We need a TV adaptation of this, urgently!!!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Honourable_Schoolboy#Adaptations mentions:
Jonathan Powell, producer of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (1979), said the BBC considered producing The Honourable Schoolboy but a production in South East Asia was considered prohibitively expensive and therefore the BBC instead adapted the third novel of the Karla Trilogy, Smiley's People (1979)
Bohr-Sommerfeld model Updated +Created
Refinement of the Bohr model that starts to take quantum angular momentum into account in order to explain missing lines that would have been otherwise observed TODO specific example of such line.
They are not observe because they would violate the conservation of angular momentum.

JSON trailing comma Updated +Created
The fact that you cannot have trailing commans in lists or dicts as in 3, at:
{
  "asdf": [
    1,
    2,
    3,
  ]
}
is one of the most infuriating design choices of all time!!!

This one took a while! Major developments were from the 70s! Perhaps it took the Internet revolution to make its importance clear.
Crystal radio Updated +Created
This was the first generation of commercially successful radios.
It uses a crystal detector as its diode, which is a crucial element of the radio, thus its name.
They were superseded by transistor radios, which were much more reliable, portable and could amplify the signal received.

Founder: Peter Armstrong
The general idea is publishing entire books with usual copyright, but with gradual updates.
ruboss.com/ documents their stack, a somewhat similar choice to OurBigBook.com as of 2021, notably Next.js. But backend in Ruby on Rails. They actually managed Apollo/GraphQL, which Ciro Santilli would have liked, but din't have the patience for.
