Where I have lived my entire life, the hottest I'd ever seen in my is 33C. That would be an unusual year. The hottest summer days might hit 30C. This is 100 years, historically: over 30 is possibly, but unusual. Years where 29C is

In Canada, the Financial Post just ran an editorial saying it was a net positive because it will result in fewer deaths from "cold waves" e.g. winter storms. Flooding and other severe weather events were, unsurprisingly, handwave

The abbreviation for Canadian Dollar is CAD, not CDN. Sometimes C$ or CA$. I checked Valve's website for an email address to let them know but it seems they have scrubbed it quite deliberately. This is not a surprise, it's somet

The pushback you're getting on this is.... I mean i struggle to find the words. If someone wants to not stare at a screen during a lecture this is 100% ok and I literally cannot fathom the idea that someone is "doing it wrong&quo

This is, unfortunately, in the 'water is wet' category of observable reality.

I use attrs for this. The objects are not truly immutable in the sense that you can modify then if you are really determined to but typical assignment of a new value to a attrs defined field (where frozen=True) will raise an error. https:

I had this happen on a gaming forum, they upgraded to new forum software and pushed users through a 'update your account' flow. I accidentally set my year to the wrong number and ended up locked out of what had been a long-term u

This is for a class. How a student prefers to make their commits is not really important. If you are taking a class and the requirement for credit is doing commits of in-progress work you commit the in-progress work.

Your phrasing actually did very much imply that Python the language was intended ("directed") for these tasks. >Python 3 (and later versions of Python 2) has been more directed (in the past decade) towards number crunching I do

I wonder if UBI could be marketed politically in this way, e.g. "Finally paying for all the things you've already been using" or "Finally paying for the free labor you've based your life on" etc. type of messag

Does fruit contain as much fructose today as it did 50, 100, 200 years ago? Or have we selectively bread the sweetest fruits to the point where monkeys cannot eat bananas? Monkeys banned from eating bananas at Devon zoo Zookeepers say the

I just read an article about quiet / dream jobs (park ranger etc.) In it, every single person has a side gig(s) or is otherwise making decisions on their careers based on medical coverage. Every one of them! One of the people says

This article discusses how common it is to have accidents/mistakes in these types of research labs, I found it pretty interesting but cannot vouch for it (perhaps it's already been debunked?) https://nymag.com/inte

The new crop of TLDs are really cheap. I bought a .download for like $2 a year or something. Not all are that cheap (I bought it as a throwaway for a project that relied on my having DNS control) but there are literally hundreds of them t

Depends on what sound you are measuring. A single drum hit where one channel is delayed by 10ms is very audible. Would a violin and cello player have issues playing together if one was delayed by 10ms though? Could anyone hear that in th

For me, the core is not that you can't "recognize" a face, it's that it is very very hard to form a memory of a face. It's not in the storage, it's in the retrieval. For example, if I try to picture a person&#

I would invite you to watch Orphan Black and try to figure out which characters are supposed to be clones or not. The one that really gets me is when they use photographs in film/tv, a character looks at a photo and you know the rest o

I bought an Xbox just for gamepass. 200+ games, may not have everything I want to play but it always has something I fun I do want to play. (Also xbox sales are often very good. I'm ok paying $10-20 (sometimes less!) for games). I su

It usually means there is a better way to do what you are doing. If it's user input you should sanitize there. In Python this is often easy because you can usually cast as the type you need e.g. with int() and then raise exception if

A lot of projects write in that style e.g. compatible with both python2 and python3, it's really common because there's so much py2 deployed (was default on centOS until very recently, still default on osx, etc.) Nearly every py3

I hated this SO MUCH when they rolled it out but now I love it, because I can get a quick sense of the look of the actual movie instead of trying to judge it based on the cover or thumbnail. I think it's actually a good use of video i
