Python factorial on big integer is natively as fast as a good C++ implementation of factorial. So clearly the interpreter supports using fast underlying implementations of things Any idea why python str.find is 100x-1000x slower? Seems like

On Archlinux that problem doesn't exist, everything is a recent release

Having grown up in 80s/90s, I also start getting older. While I don't care for technology like "do X with an app" where I know X can also be done without an app, I do get excited for actual real new tech with substance.

30k doesn't even sound like that much to me given Moore's law. I'd expect more improvement since 1989. Supercomputer performance increased more than a million since then

Can this be used for network communication? As in, two devices connected at any distance using quantum entanglement, no wires nor unobstructed antenna connection needed (still light speed delay of course)

I'm excited for the expansion, and also for weekly Friday Facts again, yay! Those are a great mix of interesting technical content, and hype building

I didn't read it, just enjoyed scrolling through the photos. It's at least awesome that such a collection of photos exists of a topic that would otherwise certainly be entirely forgotten. Do you think archeologists might still be

I got very confused on mobile, I expected to see a photo and guess a date. But instead saw a map with pin to drop under the photo, and the year 1962 pre-filled. Would love to guess the dates, but the map location part seems not true to the

What if you have to develop on remote machines?

Why was there no standard operator for this in C since the 1970s? You got various bit shifts and bitwise logic operators, so why not this? std::popcount exists in C++ now since C++20, but that took a while if this instruction was in CPU&#x2

Perhaps because biological creatures themselves can exhibit complex shapes and patterns through simpler mathematical principles like fractals and cellular automata

Even more reason to use this if you don't need the more general case and its associated performance cost

A lot of recent math discoveries seem to be geometrical: circle packing, infinitely tiling patterns, neighbor coloring theorem, ... I don't seem to see as much discoveries in other areas like number theory, calculus, algebra etc... Is

I tried this in cinnamon. But I use multiple desktops and if qalculate is already on another desktop, the experience is pretty bad since it doesn't move to this one (and I do want its 'allow only single process at once' enabl

You can copypaste plain text to and from the terminal, what kind of copypaste do you mean?

In Belgium average tech job salary is 36K to 87K EUR/year (from this source [1], it's just one source but it's just to back up my experience, also it really leans much more to the 36K, 87K sounds like too much), before taxes

libqalculate is the mathematics part and the command line tool, while qt is GUI, so it's surprising the GUI part isn't the larger one of the two

There has to be some stage in-between millions of human colonists and the current state though. Also, why Mars specifically? Does this "must be pristine" policy also apply to other plants? Not to the moon at least, that's for

What would be wrong with the following: Launch a spacecraft to Mars full of organic material. Add the toughest possible bacteria (the kind that manages to survive in volcanoes for thousands of years), vegetable growing experiments, etc... T

I do use the full fledged nvidia drivers on linux (I don't know if with the mentioned libre drivers the steam games, LLM's and image generation I use would work?), so I would also like to know if this telemetry is also present in

> Also, LK-99 was discovered in 1999 but wasn't known as a room-temperature superconductor then. Was there anything in 1999 about the material that made it notable as a discovery then?

I also remember having read about "jiko bukken" properties in Japan. Might this also play a role?

Why aren't there more space ships like voyager 2, going outside the solar system but still providing some signal? It's got to be possible to launch some in space now and have them go faster than voyager 2, so that the outside can

But how can I do that if I like Archlinux for the rest but everything around is based on Systemd, and most other distros also do that?

The major consequence here is a few weeks of repair time, there wouldn't be much gameplay in Half-Life 1 if that were it :)

Unbelievable the LHC is already running for 15 years! When it was just finished it was still the heyday of funny flash animations on the internet, some of course joking about the LHC ending the world: https://www.newgrounds.com&#
