Reading this article, my first reaction is surprise at a ruling that, on the surface, appears to block people from switching jobs. That's weird right? I think most people would be surprised and confused to hear that, because it sound

Part of the reason is that each telescope has different scientific goals. For example, Hubble is a visible wavelength telescope and we learned a lot from the data it collected and continues to collect. JWST is an infrared telescope designe

$35 is a bit odd to use as an example price, because it probably isn't going to be particularly common to need to split a $35 purchase into multiple payments. My guess is that the most common prices would be >$100

Can you provide a source to support your claim that the water requirement is several orders of magnitude greater than what a fire engine can carry? You are literally saying that the water requirement is so great it could not be supplied by

I think it would be a more productive discussion to ask whether go is a simpler language (compared to popular alternatives), not whether it is simple in an absolute sense. Given how complex computers and programming is, it's easy to ar

My understanding is that they've added stuff like type annotations to make it possible to use these tools but that they aren't planning to add static typing to the language itself

The slow fade is because there is a large electrolytic capacitor in the power supply which retains a small amount of energy when the power supply is unplugged. This slowly drains (depending on circuit) and is why it sometimes take up to a m

Isn't /x/ experimental by definition? They introduced a breaking changed to an experimental library. This does not fall under the scope of the compatibility promise. The compatibility promise works great.
