Yes, it's not population density that's important but the distribution of said population, and USA is more urbanized and clumped up than many European countries with much better train system than USA. The problem in USA is that th

There are health resorts here in Poland where the whole reason is for them to exist in these particular places is because air there has a lot of iodine and other minerals from sea salt. I've been to one in Kołobrzeg as a child because

Children in countries with high unemployement and low median salary have completely different motivation to learn math and pursue STEM career than children in countries in which you can do the bare minimum at school and expect a comfy life.

Poplation growth is slowing down everywhere, in the developed world (which uses the most energy and resources) it's been negative for some time. Currently there's about 8 billion people, and estimates predict it will stop at 10 bi

According to our best estimates we're already past the "peak children". World population growth has been slowing down for decades at this point, it will become negative in second half of this century. World hunger is not caus

It assumes 2.3% yearly exponential growth of energy consumption for 400 years while we know our population already passed peak growth and peak children number and will start to decrease in this century. It's just dumb.

It will be hard, for many places on Earth it will be catastrophic. Civilization won't end tho. Some of these estimates are absurd, which only makes the case for fighting climate change harder to make - same as overblown estimates of th

Eastern Europe adapted to this and also used mostly cavalry tactics, some countries all the way up to early 20th century. What works better (cavalry or infantry) mostly depends on population density, distances between population centers and

> You need the right terrain. Forests are not a good place for cavalry. Roads are needed to shift cavalry (and fodder) around. Bigger distances, lower population density and WORSE roads = cavalry is MORE useful. That's why Eastern E

The invariant is: haystack.substring(haystack.indexOf(needle), needle.length()) == needle And indexOf should return lowest such number. So it should return 0. LastIndexOf too, because the haystack is empty. For nonempty haystack i

Imagine if math books told you that you should ALWAYS solve for X and if somebody tells you to solve for Y they are a bad mathematician :) That's Clean Code.

Yup this is the worst part of Clean Code. I've seen real-life bugs caused by this kind of refactoring. The best part is that the same commit added unit tests so our coverage grew over the magic 80% bar, but of course unit tests don&#x2
