Yes, it really likes the numbers for tidal energy. Since the book was published, Korea, France, and the UK have mostly abandoned it after a cost benefit analysis. It has gained little traction.

This may be odd advice, but I found it helpful to watch animals. I go out in nature and I see a bird spend all its energy to survive.

Named parameters came from Smalltalk, and no explanation I give can equal the sheet beauty of reading smalltalk code. I'm not sure I could devise a full explanation, but a concise example is in scientific libraries for functions like,

I can't think of a feature that would help me convince the team to migrate more to Rust. Rust is young; it learns from the mistakes of old languages and picks the best. E.g. Python's default arguments were declared once; JavaScrip

"Please reconsider" is the wrong tone. One might as well ask an abuser to "please reconsider" abuse. Closer to the point might be, "Your actions are unethical, illegal, and I will gladly join the class action that r

That might be even better, but a single company can make self-driving cars without reforming the American suburban model. Practically, even in cities with excellent commuter rail (e.g. Boston), car commuters still outnumber rail.

1. Buses make frequent stops and are much slower, especially in the US. 2. Most Americans commute from suburbs to cities. This requires a few minutes to get to the highway from a suburb, which is spread out too much for a bus to be practica

The article never discusses the growth in the sheer number of scientists now doing research, and the strong tendency toward specialization.

The problem is that there will always be bugs, and you can't abstract away details unless you provide a clear and consistent interface . Replit neither provides an exact spec for how their system works, nor open-sources their codebase

This is not true. COVID-19 is unusual because symptoms don’t tend to develop until the second week of the infection, by which time most of the active virus has been neutralized by the body’s immune response. Unlike most viruses, COVID-19 do

This is a misconception: it is not known that the virus will become less deadly over time; in fact, there is good reason to believe that it may become more deadly because virulence is positively associated with tramissibility. https:&#x2

Transmissibility is highest before symptoms appear. This the distinct characteristic of COVID-19 that separates it from most viruses and has enabled it to spread rapidly on a global scale.
