From AI to EVs, demand for semiconductors is exploding, but silicon is hitting its limits. Making more efficient chips requires new materials, ones far less ubiquitous than sand, but the solution might be out there — literally.

When working with Go in an industrial context, I feel like dependency injection (DI) often gets a bad rep because of DI frameworks. But DI as a technique is quite useful. It just tends to get explained with too many OO jargons and triggers PTSD among those who came to Go to escape GoF theology. Dependency Injection is a 25-dollar term for a 5-cent concept. — James Shore DI basically means passing values into a constructor instead of creating them inside it. That’s really it.

Some colleges are much more expensive than average, and financial aid is not guaranteed no matter which college a student attends. In addition, the potential
