Hydrogen storage is certainly not the smallest problem we face with hydrogen fuel. Di-hydrogen is a very small molecule that is hard to contain. It requires very tight seals. Not technically impossible, but very costly at large scale.

I thought that was well known. In EU printers cannot be sold "inked locked". They do lock themselves as soon as they have an opportunity to update their firmware. My Brother never had Internet access. I configured it with the Inte

I think the OP specifically complains about the use of @inbounds and that the documentation was advocating an invalid use of it. Some libraries may not have been updated to handle AbstractArray: that's normal SW rot. But the out of bou

Indeed Python is relatively simple language. It also adheres to the principle of least astonishment and dynamic types are used towards this goal. Finally it does not mind making large changes to the language. With Python most of the time wh

Sounds like you could cure the polymer while the container is spinning... The original idea (polymer lenses) is definitely a huge potential for amateur astronomes making large refracting telescopes. At the end of the article they mention be

"a corrective lens is indistinguishable to moving everything in the world closer or farther away" This is not how it works. You seem to confuse focus and magnification. That said the display in VR goggles is set at a specific focu

In a SoC (all phones) and most laptops with "integrated graphics", that's the way it works. Basically a multi-processor system with shared memory. It is actually more common in the wild than the PCIe model, where the GPU has

I am equally puzzled by the use of the word "career". I would add that starting whichever new job at 61 will be a challenge especially with no previous experience. Given that, why not programming?
