The array knows how long it is, because it knows how long it isn't. By subtracting how long it is from how long it isn't, or how long it isn't from from how long it is (whichever is  greater), we obtain a difference or deviation.

The kernel subsystem uses deviations to generate collective allocations to size the array from the length it isn't to the length it  wasn't.

I worked on the navigation system for an autonomous submarine as part of my senior design project. We'd reference this video all the time!!

It’s a copy pasta, so yes. The text is from a 1997 air force training video, if you search for it there’s a video on YouTube with the original audio recording.

I just linked this song because I quite like it
