I cofounded a company in 2005, the primary product is a never-ending C# web-application project. As the code-base grew to many millions of lines of code I started to see the very real problems of software engineering in the OO paradigm, an

This is utterly damning. I have already instructed my team that Copilot can never be used for our projects. Compromising the product because of unknowable license demands isn't acceptable in the professional world of software enginee

Both, pushing-and-pulling for rapid acceleration; as well as just pulling, often going up a hill to give the pushing muscles a rest. Pushing and pulling at the same time takes a bit of time to get used to, but it can become quite natural af

You can pull up and push down. Also if you get a pro fitting then the position of your foot will be optimised to get the max power through the pedal. Anecdotally they’re faster.

If that were the case, surely Tour de France riders would use wider tyres to gain more grip going around corners, especially in time-trials or stages with sprint finishes. Doesn’t a greater surface area touching the floor means more frictio

From what I understand grain used for animal feed is of a poorer quality and can't be used to make bread. And so it's essentially a waste product (usually because of rain just before a harvest). I won't claim to be an expert
