I think the question was not how many patients that need intubation are in the ICU but how many patients in the ICU need intubation. I think the suggestion is that the first number is 100% while the second is much lower until you hit a poi

Contra the complaints in the article it is not about black ignoring pep8, it is that pep8 has always had some grey areas and some parts that are simply wrong for modern python code. Black has become the defacto gofmt in the python world by

Sorry to break it to you, but anyone who is still at Facebook at this point thinks they are at the top of the heap and a lateral move to maybe Google, Apple, or Microsoft would be worth considering if it included a bump in grade. Amazon is

Finding a flour that is close to French type 55 is going to be the biggest problem for getting a baguette that is close to authentic. Try King Arthur for some of the custom blends that are close to what you need; US “all purpose” flour has

I guess it depends. If you were at a large state-funded research university it would not surprise me for low-level and intro classes. When I attended a mid-sized elite university I only had this sort of experience with a few math and scie

Look for Storey's guides for things like basic country skills and small-scale animal husbandry (rabbit, goat, etc.) There is also probably an entire aisle of urban homesteading books to look through at the local bookstore.
