  • But it is essentially solved. There are plenty of places in the world that use a variety of power sources including a large mix of renewables without needing nuclear. And they work just fine. I'm surprised that so many people here seem to be ignoring the reality that nuclear is unnecessary and very expensive compared with other power sources.

    For example South Australia uses mostly renewable energy sources today - primarily solar and wind with some in-fill from battery and gas. The last coal plant there was closed in 2016. There's no nuclear power in Australia.

  • And yet C with its not at all comprehensive standard library did well. I'm a bit puzzled about these results.

    There's no way that Go is more verbose than Java. I've written both in decent quantities and Java was always way more verbose than Go for me. I suspect it's the nature of code.golf giving these results more than the languages themselves.

  • It was videoed falling from the sky with one wing missing. Experts are quoted as saying that just doesn't happen on modern jets without some form of serious attack on it. Also people saw missile trails just before it exploded.

  • That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying there's little to no difference in practical use, except for the convenience of using a standard. Standards make life much easier because you're talking the same language as everyone else. When you're pretty much the only country still using Fahrenheit maybe it's time to think about using the global standard?

  • All these arguments don't really have any effect in reality. As someone born in Australia everyone is super comfortable with Celsius and the problems you describe just don't exist because in the end it's really just what you're used to.

    To me Fahrenheit seems incredibly awkward but then I wasn't brought up using it.
