French (& American and Royal Navy) submarines are nuclear powered. No fuel necessary. They do have measures of "nuclear fuel" remaining, but it lasts about 30 years (at least in the American boats) so generally doesn't im

Jeremy @ Fast.ai says he takes this pedagogical approach because it's "proven" to be the best way to learn. He's probably right, but I do find it confusing at times because in the beginning you're just hitting ctrl
