Banate of Só

The Banate of Só (Hungarian: Sói bánság or Sófölde) was an administrative unit (banate) on the southern borders of the Kingdom of Hungary between the 12th and the early 15th centuries. Appointed by the king, it was governed by a ban, who served as both administrative and military leader.[1]

Banates of the Kingdom of Hungary on the southern borderlands

The banate was created upon the territorial expansion of Hungary during the reign of Béla II (1131–1141). Named after the region of Só (Soli), its area stretched from the salt mines around Só (Tuzla), down along both banks of the Bosna till the line of the Sava and Drina rivers.[2]

In 1410 King Sigismund of Hungary defeated Stephen Ostoja of Bosnia, who rebelled against his rule, and subsequently attached the banate to the rest of the Kingdom of Hungary, excluding the Castle of Srebrenik and the surrounding lands, that were transferred to Hungary's vassal state, the Serbian Despotate.[2]

It uses a strong cryptographic consensus protocol to safely replicate computations over a peer-to-peer network of (potentially untrusted) compute nodes, possibly overlayed with many virtual subnetworks (sometimes called shards). Wasm’s advantageous properties made it an obvious choice for representing programs running on this platform. We also liked the idea of not limiting developers to just one dedicated platform language, but making it potentially open to “all of ’em.”How is *that* meant to work?
gollark: ... "internet computer"? Oh bees.

gollark: Hmm, maybe just hook MDN pages up to a text to speech system and stick some javascripty backgrounds on.
gollark: Provide a link to the RPNCalc RPNSource then?
