I'll concede it's not a typical country since the weather is pretty unique, but Scotland is ~97% renewable and ~75% wind. It's well suited for some parts of the world at least.

Forall A: add(A, 0) == A Forall A B C: add(add(A,B), C) == add(A, add(B, C)) I think that’s sufficient. Rule 101 of useful testing is understanding the actual constraints you rely on. Maybe throw in add(A, B) == add(B

It's bizarre to see the federal outcry here since in Norway, everyone's tax return is "public". (You can request to see anybody's but they do get a notification that you viewed it. It was anonymous until recently) I

In the above example you pay capital gains on the one (1) $20m initial painting that allows you to then donate N "equal value" paintings. So you can dilute the capital gains % indefinitely (1/N).

I agree that this is shady marketing. However, like I said, there are superior solutions available for these content/media producers. Am I supposed to feel bad for them not optimising a tool that is apparently critical for their throug

While this is entirely valid criticism, it glosses over the fact that the experiments were heavily biased towards long running workloads typical for media producers. I'm not using my MBP to render 4k video or maxing all cores of the CP

Not sure how much you care, but your example for .slice() is wrong. .slice(1,3) will give you elements two and three. You're looking for .slice(0,3)
