Learning the whole course ahead of time sounds easier said than done. But I definitely recommend pre-learning the next chapter in the course instead of relying on the teacher's explanation. Personally, I could never understand a relati

Someone could say that, but we know and we can prove that a car is not a plane. An example of a bad plane would be the Wright Flyer.

Satelite "internet"? All I have read about is the ability to send emergency text messages. The author goes on a tirade about how you can't browse Bloomberg with a 256kbps internet. Straw man much? > As per GlobalStar, they

Uhh I understand that good Linux support is valuable, but the price premium for that is just too high. For the base variant(5500u, 8gb, 240gb): Pangolin - 1200$ Lenovo Ideapad 3 15 - 430$[1] For a higher-end variant(5700u, 16gb, 500gb): Pan

I'm not sure adding more concrete UI elements is the way to go, browsers are too complex as at is, which makes it extremely hard to develop them unless you have as much resources as Google. And what happens after 10 years when new UI t

I don't think this is a good or even valid example. Where do we see that the method that depends on the Rectangle class no longer works correctly for instances of Square? Why does it depend on the exact value returned by the object? Th
