Yeah, I'm out in the country with Hughesnet, and it works fine provided you haven't hit the data cap. But streaming 720p or higher is going to be pausing rather consistently.
Yep. Roughly same source, but a very different "pathway" of energy. Nuclear bombs depend on prompt neutrons, whereas nuclear power depends on delayed neutrons. Hence why the enrichment of the Uranium is important.
And those who bring up the Chernobyl explosion, those were due to Hydrogen gas build up. Which is an interesting case study of Murphy's law.
Not really, other than limiting spread from someone who is potentially infected and making it harder for someone to touch their face (virus on hands getting into body via eyes/nose).
N95 masks will also limit the spread from someone who is actually infected, too. So the masks will, when used correctly help limit all spread and I am not sure why you say "not really".
But I should add, the CDC only recommends face masks for the infected and limits recommendation of N95 respirators to healthcare providers and those in workplace settings.
People generally aren’t going to use them correctly, aren’t going to change them frequently enough, are likely to touch their face frequently if not used to the mask, and aren’t nearly as concerned about infecting others so much as protecting themselves.
21st century Spanish Flu was the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic. Literally - Spanish Flu was also H1N1, though the strains were slightly different. The 2009 pandemic was estimated to have sickened about 1.5B people and killed about 150,000 for the relatively low death rate of about 0.01%.
We'll likely think of coronavirus the same way we think of the 2009 pandemic, i.e. it gets a Wikipedia article of its own, an occasional historical mention, but we forget about it when disease is not specifically the topic of conversation.
The WHO gave up tracking cases on July 23, 2009, 3 months after the epidemic started, when it hit several hundred thousand confirmed cases. At that point it just became a part of seasonal flu. It's circulating again this year: in recent weeks it's been the most common seasonal flu variant infecting people, and with 19M flu cases so far this year, there have almost certainly been more deaths from H1N1 than from nCoV.
One book[1] I read explained this in detail, amongst other similar concepts. It was really interesting and helped me think of how functional concepts could work in OOP languages.
I agree with a lot of those suggestions, but I am still scratching my head at what it means to have "objects with no state", at that point it seems like we just have static methods that are in some namespace which is the object. Having immutability does not get rid of state existing.
Objects do have state, but they can be either mutable or immutable. The link in my original comment describes an immutable stack (written in OCaml, but is fairly readable) where both push and pop returns a new stack object. The original object is never changed. In a mutable stack, push would return void (or unit in OCaml), which signifies a side-effect. pop would return the element, and the object changes in-place.
Yeah, I'm familiar with the pattern, but I wouldn't say that this is a 'stateless' pattern because even having that object is 'state'. I don't think 'stateless' makes sense if objects are involved. I would agree that it's immutable.
There is mutable state on the conceptual level, i.e. what is modelled, but not on the language level abstraction of an object.
There is no mutable data/state on the language level, at least how things are understood in pure functional programming.
But of course mutable state in the real world (for lack of a better term) can still be modeled there.
"The last reactor, N Reactor, continued to operate as a dual-purpose reactor, being both a power reactor used to feed the civilian electrical grid via the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS)"
"Hanford also hosts a commercial nuclear power plant, the Columbia Generating Station, and various centers for scientific research and development, such as the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the LIGO Hanford Observatory. "
The reactor that blew up in Chernobyl was because of the design of the reactor itself. Even at the time it was built, the west never would have green lit the reactor design.
And if I am wrong please correct me, but I recall high deductible health insurance became more common/prominent since "obamacare". Which i viewed as at best a half measure at the time.
