Some chipsets can have the main cores operating in non DFS channels while one of the cores performs the CAC and only move into DFS ISM after (they implement what's called zero-wait DFS)

Yes, but it didn't change because of the reasons given by the commenter above

I have female programmer colleagues and I see no difference in intelligence, between them and their male peers. It's just the number of woman in workforce is low, not that they can't do it successfully

Ah that one is easy. As we grow up we are not left alone to explore what we like. Rather, people tell kids what jobs are appropriate for men and women all the time even before they ge their own interests. It's also exacerbated by role models that they see in TV and other social settings. As kids grow older a gap develops in their interests which makes it very difficult for them to transition to "the other side" at any point after that. So women tend to lean towards caring for other human beings, social sciences, etc and men become engineers, construction workers etc.

This also depends on the culture (thus proving it's just a social problem rather than a biological preference): e.g.: in India the ratio between female-male engineers is almost 1 (900 something per 1000 or something like that), which is unheard of in Europe. (whether these women stay in the workforce after other social events or not is a completely different topic but again kinda the same cause, e.g. the expectation that after marrying you are just there to have kids and take care of them)

> because the vast majority of the work done to become really strong is done alone

Again, assumes you have an interest in the topic in the first place... working hard at something you have no interest is not something easily done

2 more instructions in GodBolt for the second version, in the end the urge to look cool and "elite" more often than not causes trouble. Unless there really is a need for complexity, it's almost always better to follow KISS principle
