It is used for applications you want to be small (to download mainly) and reasonably portable. It is also done for lots of applications that don't have those requisites, but where the developers think it would be more professional looking. Also, obviously, C is used on number crunching applications.
Some people also write things on C just because they want. The only ninche where C is rare is internet applications (even then, the middleware is nearly all in C).
Prolog has still more gramatical power than Perl, yet, it is mainly implemented on C. There is a huge difference between a generic powerfull parser and a programming language parser (the programming language being LR1), and the parser is one of the easiest parts of a compiler.
Numbers 5 and 6 aren't true yet. But the thing is number 7... One'd expect database driven programing to be done on a language that understands databases from the back of their hearts, like earlier web programing was done on Perl (that understended strings), and current is migrating to ASP like languages, like PHP, that understand HTML. I know of no language that does that today.
After all said, I still expect you to choose a language that knows about strings when doing web development. Well, SEGFAULT will select the developers that don't.
It doesn't. Ok the languages you expected to see there are there, but others with no jobs offering at all are at the top too. Let's be honest here, the article is just an excuse for a language flame war. We are missing those at/. lately.
Oh, great! Research hard enough and you'll discover that the EROEI if this thing is below 1. Now, take some time for looking into other bateries, and you'll see that they have something in common, all of them have EROEI below 1.
Or you could think a little bit and see why your question is useless.
That unit is spelled "kWh", with small case "k" and "h", and no "r". The kilo prefix is always small case, and hour symbol is just "h". Upper case "K" is the abreviation of Kelvin (temperature unit). The prefixes biger than "k" are all upper case, like "M" (mega), "G" (giga), "T" (tera), but the smaler ones are all lower case, like "m" (mili), "n" (nano), "p" (pico).
The refurbishment cost will probably not be very hight. Sodium sulfur bateries get old because sulfur leaks into the sodium container (that was on that wikipedia article some time ago, maybe they removed because it is wrong), so all you'd need to do is to repurify the sodium.
Now, of course, since the calculations yeld a 90 years life time, something will surely happen earlier, and the battery will need some unforseen maintence.
Well, if oil runs out, the worst option for eletricity generation will be a diesel generator.
"You think you can build a wind turbine with wind power?"
Why not? Really, give a reason for one not being able to do that. EROEI is ok, minerals are ok once you adopt a (more expensive) process of refining that uses eletricity instead of oil, mining is ok, transportation is ok. You'll need some bio oils for lubrification, plastics and rubber, but everything quite on the realm of the possible.
Unfortunately, not everything shrinks the on the same rate as the feature size, so they'll probably get something less than 64% more memory on the same area.
Also, while some circuits grow when you make them exclusively with NAND (you can create any logic circuit out of NAND gates), flash memory doesn't. So it is very common to make NAND flash.
Well, I normaly don't pay atention to things that are "X of the XXI century" or old ones "X of the XX century". I'll make an exception, I've already saved the paper and intend to read it. My first impression wasn't nice, lots of people aready tried an "epistemology path", with varying amount of success, but none of them brought a hard AI to "life".
Oh yeah. The anarchist argument. Your government could have used any excuse to get more taxes and control, the fact that it is using global warming as an excuse is not evidence of anything.
Well, we are changing the entire planet, and something is due to happen because of this. We don't know what will happen, but the way our society is buit we need everything to stay the same (we are very optimized for the current environment). Thus, severe change is almost certanly bad.
But don't mind convincing people. We will do nothing to avert change, so you have nothing to be concerned about.
Of course, the emails can't prove that global warming was a scam. The best they can prove is that there was a scam involving global warming, and lots of the proofs we tought we had aren't real. That would create the need for more proofs, of it or against it, so we can setle the issue.
It is stil an expected phenomena from bodies of knowledge that are far apart from climatology, like astronomy.
Sorry to put some facts on the table, but water is necessary for some very central functions of plants, and they need not only some water sorage, but also water flow (in special, water flow is necessary for growth). So when you take any amount of water away from them, productivity goes down. That happens when different species are compared, but also the same plant will grow faster with more water than with less (except on extreme situations). Reducing the average raining on farmland will reduce yelds.
Now, about that extra land, well, plants also need insolation. It doesn't matter the temperature, with a small insolation you won't get too much productivity. And guess what, permafrost land isn't on the tropics or temperate zones. All that land will make a surprizing small contribution to total yelds.
Of course, global heating could cause the rain on arable land to increase, what may cause yeld to increase, or may not. Most comercial crops can't survive at hight temperatures, but it may be possible to change them, or replace crops, or it may not. Also, global warming will more probably cause more disarsters like huricanes and floods, but there is a small possiblity it will cause less. Who knows?

Python could use some encapsulation.

Well, if you read the summary, it says that the news is that java is losing momentum for the rest of the JVM languages.
It's not, but if you are concerned about it, try C++. Guess what, there are even transparent garbage collectors on C++.
Except for overwriting other variables, probably.
Asp like languages (on your list PHP) are the worst offenders. The "" nested with ifd an whiles are bad!
That's why I love emacs. Why manualy arrange your butterflies?
What? For fonts of changing size one'd need to use a GUI editor. That is not worth the cost.
identation was created to solve that problem.
If it is a single cell, it generates only 2V. Quite safe to lick.

Any small site that shares things between friends will grow into tousands of users if there is not competitor. And will grow quite fast.
