Their fuels burn the same as conventional fuels (that seems to be the point). The fuel needs carbon to have the right properties and when you burn it, the carbon atoms have to go somewhere. CO2 is the best option, carbon monoxide and soot a

The puddle being in a hole implies a world outside of the hole. If the puddle has no means to perceive the outside world except a careful inspection of its own bounds, isn't that an interesting mystery?

Well put, though one nitpick: the three body problem is solved. It illustrates another case: even if a solution is known, it might not be practical. https://www.math.uvic.ca/faculty/diacu/diacuNbody.pdf

The world made it through the cold war without major disaster, but it is easy to imagine history taking a different path, so I don't think that this is a comforting comparison. Also, nuclear weapons can't be used 'a little bi

It seems to me that the basic problem is that binary trees are the wrong data type. For instance, you can transform the tree to balance it: p1 AND (p2 AND (p3 AND notp4)) -> (p1 AND p2) AND (p3 AND notp4) But the abstraction is

This comment only uses the ten hundred most used words and "xkcd" to give back love. Writing that uses such a small set of words will probably be easy to make smaller when you save it. And for young students, it might help to have

I believe it, but what were they trying to optimize? If all of their changes are focused on near-term bottom line, is it really surprising if that comes at the expense of customer/employee satisfaction and brand reputation?

Title says unit tests. But to GP's point, it isn't really automatic, the developer still decides what to test. It is transforming REPL logs, not generating tests based directly on the code (which isn't useful in my experience

A solar shade would also be a solar sail -- it could maneuver by changing its shape to catch the solar wind differently. It would still need to station-keep (perhaps even more because of fluctuations in solar wind), but it wouldn't nee

If "almost everyone" fails some expectation, is the problem with the people or the expectation? The average user might not be super invested in the application, they just know that something doesn't work, which is frustrating

I agree that it is better when it can be used, but I don't think it can always be used (eg: long lived memory, resources with overlapping but distinct lifetimes, legacy code). So it adds a new way to misinterpret the code: is cleanup d
