That’s why pro drug abusers take that coating off.

>you clearly can only do insults

Says person who referred to my posts as "pedantic" because they corrected incorrect statements.

The only difference is - all of my posts have contained content that directly supports my position by describing how chemistry actually works. This post of yours doesn't, it JUST serves to insult me.

>and down-votes

Yes, because you haven't down voted any of my posts, right? *Eye roll*

If you want to have a "healthy adult scientific discussion" I'm happy to do that.

But saying "hydrogen bonding is a form of bonding with molecules" isn't an adult scientific discussion. It's a blatant misrepresentation of actual chemistry. A hydrogen bond - as I stated in my very first post - is a dipole-dipole interaction. It's an inter-molecular force (a force between two separate molecules, not a bond) similar to Van Der Waals forces but many magnitudes greater in strength.

Further, hydrogen bonding doesn't even apply to the way many things dissolve. So even if we could ignore chemistry and say that hydrogen bonding is a form of bonding to a molecule - which it's decidedly not - that STILL wouldn't make the post I replied to correct, because it only applies to a subset of things that dissolve.

Organic molecules, for example, can dissolve through Van Der Waals forces or/specifically London dispersion forces.

Something being dissolved can be endo or exothermic, there's no hard and fast rule about whether dissolving something will heat or cool a liquid. Saying it's one way or another just isn't accurate, it depends entirely on what you're dissolving.

Other answers are good so I wont re explain them, but not everything's solubility increases with temperature. Calcium carbonate, for example, is more soluble at cold temperatures because it creates scales at higher temperatures.

Yes, that's far worse, but I never encountered that in real code. The rules for using alter were:

1. Don't use it.

2. If you use it, have any GOTO referenced by it leave off the destination in code. Thus, it was just GOTO. by itself on the line with a period, to clue the programmer it was a trap.

Liquids have a fixed volume regardless of temperature, space isn't really the issue. The space between molecules in cold water is pretty much the same as in hot water, what's different is the average speed and energy of the molecules moving around in the water. Gases escape from hot water more quickly because gases don't 'want' to be dissolved in water, so all it takes is a little bit of energy to push them out of the liquid and into the air. Since hot water has more energy in it, collisions with dissolved gases happen more often and with more power, so it's relatively easy for the gas to bubble out of solution

Very clear answer. It resulted in a major improvement in programming quality, since it was easier to debug and maintain. I recall that either Dijkstra or someone else illustrated the point by building some code to perform a simple task but using COME FROM instead of GOTO. The code was incredibly difficult to understand and drove the point home.

it's like this..

it's the same reason why holding your hand above a red hot pan is less hot than putting your hand directly on the red hot pan.

the transfer for heat, or cold (actually thermal conductivity of heat, or energy, is transferred to a colder area, or an area with less energy) is more efficient with liquids & solids, than air.

It's the difference between teleporting to your destination and actually walking to your destination. Both gets you there but by walking you have an idea of how you got there.

Mostly it's to make pills easier to identify. You don't want to mix up your anti-allergy medicine with your antibiotics after all. There's actually entire dictionaries of pill designs so that doctors and pharmacists can identify pills at a glance.

It does, or maybe it simulates caring, that's the whole idea of machine learning, if it didn't care there would be no reason to change the original random playing to play better.

Well, I will leave my expertise of chemistry to the other readers (and my post history), but you clearly can only do insults (and down-votes, it seems; surely a sign of a healthy adult scientific discussion!).

Water is a much better conductor of heat than air. So whatever the difference in temperature, your body will more quickly move towards the temperature of the water than it does with the air.

That is also why boiling food tends to cook it quicker than making it even though boiling is done in lower temperatures.

Wow, you’re really good at explaining programming… what would go to look like in JavaScript? Or is that not possible because it’s single threaded?
