The existing infrastructure was originally built for town gas which is ~50% hydrogen, and run successfully for many decades as such. So this is mainly about checking out the more recently designed parts. My understanding is embrittlement is

Blue hydrogen is supposed to capture the carbon. If its just emitted, then it's grey hydrogen: https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/energy-explained/hydrog...

If you're talking about modifying the DDG, I would not call that scheduling. Because then you need to do serious work to prove that your code is actually doing the same thing. But I haven't spent a lot of time in the compiler worl

A schedule is the order in which machine instructions get executed. So, I've done this professionally (written assembler code, and then scheduled it manually to improve performance). Normally you don't need to do that these days,

Completeness is more important than optimal balance. For example, a high protein diet is no good if you get scurvy because cats produce their own vitamin C and you don't (although dogs also don't need vitamin C, which suggests tha

As a cat owner I'd suggest that dog food is likely closer to a complete diet for humans. Cats are obligate carnivores, dogs are omnivores like us. Also, most cat food smells pretty bad

It could also be hackers, as when a new service launches is exactly when it will be most buggy. And the contents of S3 are a big payoff.

There's actually a well-known effect in standards, that large orgs want to overcomplicate them, as having implemented a bunch of overcomplicated standards becomes part of their moat against competitors. This is definitely done delibera

Sort of. My understanding is that private hospitals largely opt out of most of the difficult stuff, because the NHS is there to take it on. So they're good if you're waiting around for a hip replacement but not so much for other t

In my reading, what it means by "What’s more, in line with Georgist theory, the tax was supposed to credit owners for improvements they made to the land" is that those improvements are excluded from the tax, IE that the tax is on

My previous company used WeTransfer a lot, because we needed to send large filesystem images and Android releases to and from China, and the great firewall hobbles obvious things like using gdrive.

That first reply (in the quora link) is a bit too dismissive A lot of the instruction names are the same, but the apparent similarity becomes less once your start using them. Using the same names was probably very convenient given that Ac

That's true, but melatonin is probably not a very representative example, (unless you're only talking about sleep) as its mechanism is really idiosyncratic. It seems (from [1]) that the body has a day-clock which is synchronised t

Sounds like you know the subject, maybe you could explain a bit more. I'm confused as to why formatting the text without linked letters would prevent you from learning the sounds. In most languages cursive (linked letters) is not oblig

The thesis of this site is that it's easier to learn to read Arabic first with the letters separated . It seems like there should be a way for a browser plugin (or maybe just some user css, if that still works) to separate the letters

That's.. kind of my point. This mechanism has seen more adoption in a new language than in the existing language. I'm sure it would work technically - there must be some other reason why it's easier to get a new language adop

Sure. But nowhere does the article claim to be combining measurements, or doing tomography. He's making his inferences directly from the values of the individual measurements. Tomography is a mathematical way to combine measurements to

This is pretty cool. The title here is incorrect; this is not tomography (and the OP doesn't claim it is). The article mentions tomography but what's happening here is individual measurements. Tomography is also pretty cool, altho

Yeah, but looking back at the attempts to extend C a bit for safety, the only one that seems to have got market traction is MISRA and even then it's pretty limited. D, rust, zig etc all seem to have much more buy in. There must be some
