Appears in the Schrödinger equation.

Equals the quantum of angular momentum in the Bohr model.

Points in the direction in which a wind spinner spins fastest.

Integrates its RNA genome into the host genome.

Sounds complicated! The advantage is likely as in HIV: once inside the cell, it can remain hidden far away from the cell surface, but still infections.

TODO human presumably?

I don't think it has any advantage over KEGG however, besides historical interest? Maybe slightly more manual layout and so more beautiful?

James Somers (rightly) likes to point to it as a "biology is awesome" thing.

They were basically a Microsoft of their century. A little less monopolistic perhaps as countries believed they should own they natural resources, unlike their data.

The one true game engine!

The fundamental insight of Git design is: a SHA represents not only current state, but also the full history due to the Merkle tree implementation, see notably:

This makes it so that you will always notice if you are overwriting history on the remote, even if you are developing from two separate local computers (or more commonly, two people in two different local computers) and therefore will never lose any work accidentally.

It is very hard to achieve that without the Merkle tree.

Consider for example the most naive approach possible of marking versions with consecutive numbers:

If Local 1 were to push to Remote first, how could Local 2 notice that when it tries to push itself? The navie method of just checking: "does Remote have commit "2"" does not work, because Local 2 has a different version of commit 2 than local 1.
