“It’s just a prototype,” can be bad if you are doing half baked things to get them done quickly, telling yourself you will rewrite for production. A pattern I’ve frequently seen is schedule pressure mounts and when you need to scale back on

A number have people have replied and I think they are all correct, but I want to be explicit. Given a function y = mx+b. Graphically, the function is a line on the xy plane, and if you trace your finger along the line toward the y axis, w

While it may be frustrating to see comments from people who haven't read the article being discussed, it's important to recognize that everyone consumes and processes information in different ways. Some people may prefer to skim a

> Why don't iOS and Android support sending calls from unknown numbers straight to VoiceMail iOS does. It’s called “Silence unknown callers” in the phone app settings. I expect android has this as well.

If something is small and high volume then it’s a fraud risk. I haven’t done the math but I do nearly all of my shopping on Amazon. I do this because I know I won’t have any problems with returns or refunds with Amazon. I tend to avoid the

Probably not to replace excercise, although who can say with gene editing. Reducing, stopping, counteracting mental decline is a holy grail in medicine. I think there has been some progress here. And on the general mental acuity note ther

> None of that justifies claiming the cost is due to gravity. Where do you suppose the need for so much energy comes from?
85.
by FPGAhacker 4y ago
There is a cost in mass. Rockets today are essentially a giant fuel tank with a few engines connected to one side and cargo connected to the other side. Every kg of fuel is a kg of cargo you can’t launch. That’s the cost.
