That is also how the bones function in the human body. There's a type of cell called the osteoblasts which grow and reinforce tissue, and there's another type called the osteoclasts, which dissolve it.

I see this and the first thing I want to know is creating a Voronoi partition in order to see which city with >48k habitants is closest to any point in the map. What is wrong with me.

You are wrong, there aren't any back alleys in Doha. It's just big lanes devoid of cars between the towers devoid of people. And then a small road connecting to the Industrial Area.

Inheritance is a local maxima. When the hierarchy of classes to consider is small, it often “seems to fit”. It allows the programmer to progress quickly and with low effort as a lot of the code sharing behavior is provided by the inheritanc

I rented with Hertz once. I was extra careful because I heard stories. I took pictures of the car from all sides and notified the Hertz employee about super minor scratches that I found just in case. I drove it very carefully through my sta

We have a “Lego sheet” - just a regular bed sheet that goes on the floor before playing with Legos. When it’s time to collect, you make a “bag” with the sheet, grabbing (most of) the pieces, and then we “pour” them into the final container.

My impression is that the fastest/easiest way to do it would be putting all the pieces inside hopper with the selector at the bottom. Perhaps using compressed air to push the falling pieces into different containers as they fall. I bel

I am a novice Spanish tomato grower, I planted tomatoes in my 2 square meters raised bed last summer. It gave me more than 4 kilograms, and I did many things wrong. This is obviously just anecdotal, but your numbers for Spain might be too l

Can’t tell whether this is ironic or not. In case it isn’t: the US has the best politicians money can buy. So things that are bad for the general public but good for a certain minority of wealthy individuals take longer to take effect than

This is a very creative project, congratulations! One obvious step is to try to make it bootstrapped. Have the velato compiler be a velato.mid file.

"What are exceptions used for" is similar to tabs versus spaces. Many languages just "leave that part to the user". Which I think is wrong. Or at least, inefficient. Different people will make different assumptions and t

Apparently its literal meaning is "offer weapon". Source: https://twitter.com/Emma_Hollen/status/1340402040070156299 Perhaps the intent here is for it to mean "offer tool", though.
