This points to the dual view of a relation - intensional vs extensional. The beauty of the relational model of data is the morphism: by evaluating relational operations on the extensional model (data) we gain can answer questions corr

Hierarchical layout demands choices be made, but there are advantages in grouping source packages by language: 1) can naturally reflect object packaging models of target language (eg python, jvm). 2) this can encourage reuse of packages ac

well, source code wasn't used was it? Anyway, I think "reverse engineering" is a broad category that include disassembly techniques. "Clean room reverse engineering" is a stricter idea.

Nuclear power is very carbon-efficient (tonnes CO2 emmitted / GWh produced) due to the large quantity of energy produced over the generator lifecycle. It's on par with wind power, and better than solar, according to World Nuclea

Technologists need to understand that governments do not form policies, legislate and operate in isolation. There is cooperation. Tax and trade treaties are another example. See [1] for commentary about the international agenda in this cas

That's a ridiculous analysis of anti-nuclear sentiment in Australia. Australia is a democracy and many minor political parties have responded to genuine community concerns that developed since the cold war around non-proliferation,

The power of the relational model is that we can use operators to combine relations to form new relations, which are then understood to also encode true propositions. A relational join is a logical implication. This is how SQL is able t

Null is intended for missing information, not uncertain information. It's common to use vectors to represent a signal. Relational databases really are based on the set theoretic concepts of relations and functional dependency.
