I disagree. I mean sure, you can write something akin to functional programs in python, but the language as a whole is "mutability first" to a very large degree.

From almost every language I have used, I find python one of the furthest from my idea of functional programming (which means different things to different people). Which, in my mind, also makes it a pretty darn useless ML. It is a fine language on its own, but understanding it in terms of lisp (or even worse, scheme) or, say, standard ML is a not very useful.

I think a good exercise regarding this is trying to write YOUR-FAVOURITE-LANGUAGE in ANOTHER-LANGUAGE.

Writing idiomatic scheme in standard ML is surprisingly straightforward. Writing scheme in python is awful, regardless of functools.
The official PDF Reference is very readable, see maest's link. Just start at the bit about the file structure and data types, then the basics about the commands in the Contents stream, the graphics and text states, then whatever takes your fancy. Later versions added some extra complications such as compression of the xref table and object streams, you don't need them unless you encounter them. Don't delve too deep into the bit about fonts unless you have to, it might bend your brain. A tool like qpdf to deconstruct a PDF to an uncompressed form is very handy.

The argument against free higher education is that everyone is subsidising the educated half of society, who will likely be earning more. The poor will be subsidising the middle classes.

The UK system is interesting in that you can take out student loans to pay for your education, but you only have to pay it back once you earn a certain amount. If you end up being in a low wage job all your life you never need to pay it back (and you should have probably studied something different).
Years back, I went to a couple-of-day conference/seminar that was microbiology outreach to humanities and public. There were some in the audience who really wanted to find a Kuhnian narrative for the transformational progress in microbiology over the last few decades, and were very unhappy with an answer of no, sorry, driver was technology dropping costs by many orders of magnitude, transformationally changing the experiments and questions that were affordable to pursue. So perhaps microbiology is not the best context for suggesting Kuhn as useful?

That is absolutely false.

Yes you can eat the animal you kill, but this is not about hunting for survival. We don't need to eat animals to stay alive and healthy. The reason we eat animals isn't even because it's good for us; it's just that we like it. We could defend torturing them with the same argument: we like it, so why not?

In any case, some (most) forms of animal food indeed require torturing the animals to produce it, and I don't just mean foie gras; you need to remove the calf from the cow to get milk (and the cow then cries for weeks); you need to kill male chicks to have an economically viable chicken farm, and fatten the remaining female ones so much they can't stand on their own legs; etc.

It is a novel and interesting line of reasoning to pretend that the justification to kill animals is that we are "the same"; but if we extend that argument, we find that there is no reason to prefer your life over a pig's life.

> And there's the potential for buffering excess renewable energy. for now this problem can largely be solved by improving the electricity transmission infrastructure between countries, but it's unclear to me that this is sufficient in the long run.

Well that is just another way to say 'battery'. If hydrogen is the 'right' solution for this is also highly questionable.

Storing large amounts of hydrogen is not easy. Hydrogen fuel-cells and electrolysers are not very cheap and you need to scale vertically if you want to be able to consume high amounts of power in both directions.

In addition, that whole stack makes it overall very inefficient.

The only real benefit compared to a battery is that its easier to scale hydrogen tank then battery materials.

However, there are other potential solution. A 'liquid air' battery, meaning liquidity air and on demand drive turbine, has better energy efficiency is more proven technology at large scale and has the same advantage of making bigger tanks result in larger storage.

Flow batteries potentially can do the same thing as well.

All that said, it seems to me that LFP (Iron Phosphate) based batteries will beat all of them once the production is fully going. LFP has very low material cost, and has a very long life and is very safe.

One of the issues with chemical storage from 'leftover' renewable is that your energy consumers will have very low utility and your plant will run at very low overall utilisation. This is less of a problem with a LFP based chemical battery.
I mean, that can't possibly be true. Surely you can take one look at what the password is, and be able to tell instantly why they did it.

The provided usage example is bad for accessibility: the name of the icon, e.g. ”check_circle”, will be announced by screen readers. If there is other contextual information that explains the icon, the icon can be hidden from screen readers using aria-hidden=”true”. However, in cases where the icon appears stand-alone, it needs to contain a human-understandable text that explains its meaning.

Also, never use Google’s CDN for loading fonts or icons — always self-host them. The CDNs are used to track your users.

Also, with new types of fuel there is a a chicken-egg problem to be solved.

Electric vehicles worked around the chicken-egg problem by having home charging (with fallback to power socket whilst travelling), and then chargers got built.

Which gas stations want to carry hydrogen to support just the first 10, 100, 1000 cars, and who wants to buy a car where you are 100% dependent on those gas stations carrying (and continuing to carry) the fuel that your car will need?

What's the fallback option that short-circuits the chicken-egg problem for hydrogen? Maybe it'll work if the cars can also use conventional fuel, but it will still seem entirely pointless to have the hydrogen option until gas stations have hydrogen.
I was so surprised when I moved here how few places in the real world take credit cards, even online you just pay straight from your bank account using iDeal (which is the most stupidly simple online payment system and I freaking love it!).

Debt beyond mortgages doesn't seem to be a thing here.

The thing about hydrogen as a "transition" fuel is that, while it can be made from carbon-free electricity, doing so is much more expensive than just making it from natural gas. And when it's made from natural gas, the spare carbon dioxide is nearly always dumped into the atmosphere anyway.

So, for "hydrogen" think "natural gas". Then realise that natural gas is much easier to store, and if you're prepared to "pay" the carbon cost (not a real cost in most places, more of a .. moral cost), you should just use natural gas. And you can already buy LNG/CNG vehicles.

If you want a hydrogen vehicle on zero-carbon hydrogen only, how much is that fuel going to cost you?

AFAIK it's because the hydrogen must be stored under very high pressure. So you need a expensive and potentially noisy compressor to do so.

> the fact that the court decided the appeal in publisher’s favour in the first place weirds me out a bit. It looks like emergency COVID regulations against contract termination came into play?

Honestly, the surprising part is that Frogwares won in July. To terminate the contract, they asked Nacon to hand in justification for their costs of distribution and used Nacon's failure to deliver them in a month as justification. As that's not explicitely part of the contract - Frogwares can ask to audit Nacon and Nacon has to allow them to do so in a month, they can't ask to be delivered arbitrary documents - it was obvious that the termination would be deemed illegal.

I don't understand why Frogwares keep speaking of the emergency COVID regulations. They would have allowed the publisher to be late in its contractual obligations but Nacon wasn't. The appeal court explicitely stated they didn't apply as both Nacon and Frogwares kept their activities going as usual.

But to give you an idea of how badly Frogwares managed this lawsuit, the court went out its way to explicitely point they were throwing out parts of Frogwares'"mise en demeure" - the letter explicitely asking Nacon to submit documents - becuase it was to poorly and vaguely worded.

To be harsh, Frogwares are going at it like amateurs. At the end of the day, the heart of the issue is a disagreement regarding the amount they are owned. I don't understand why they didn't just pursue that angle and I don't think the amount of press they are giving the whole thing is going to help them much.
I would say they've doubled down on hybrids more than fuel cells, they sell absolutely tons of them, which ultimately is the name of the game. They're perhaps later than others to the pure EV game which I assume is a conscious strategy. Keeping the fuel cell thing going in the background is pretty small potatoes to Toyota.
And special-purpose-font/script CDNs don't improve load times any more because browser caches are partitioned by domain nowadays. So using a CDN for fonts or scripts just increases your downtime probability and your GDPR headaches.

By comparison, the SVG files compressed with gzip will generally be around 62KB in size, but this can be reduced considerably by compiling only the icons you need into a single SVG file with symbol sprites.

So not that large, but I still prefer SVG icons.

I thought Aluminium and titanium were used in the lower interconnect layers, but according to [1] you are right.

The tech mentioned in the article is supposedly useful for transistors, not necessarily interconnect though. I guess that would be useful for going beyond planar processes. But at some point our current architectures are already severely limited regarding TDP anyway, so unless you can afford using only 10% of your chips, an architecture revolution is overdue IMO.
