I'm not sure that the reason why some (e.g. official) health information sources keep repeating that isn't just a combination of having an easy explanation and making a (benign) attempt to induce a placebo effect in unknowledgeabl

AFAIK some athletes may in fact be (somewhat) overweight according to BMI yet still are unlikely to suffer from health problems related to weight gain. An example would be ice hockey players, a large proportion of whom probably have a BMI i

As other commenters have pointed out, this is an implementation-specification optimization rather than a property of Python as a language. It is, at a first glance, a bit weird. But the way you should look at it is that Python the language

I've been making something kind of similar as well, although it's neither that pretty nor as minimal as I may have aimed for. And unlike the library in the post title, I only did container-style data structures, not other common s

I'm not an expert, but I've got the impression the dying out of the samurai class was pretty much because they weren't really needed any more, and such a special class wasn't really in line with the modernization and wes

You can still deploy stuff on a plain application server or whatever. The tools I've worked with haven't really required touching any kind of cluster management or other overhyped (albeit in some cases necessary) and complicated b

Also, in terms of definitions, free software (even if you equal that with copyleft) doesn't really require that changes "must be submitted to the original maker for redistribution" (quote from TFA). Copyleft, at least in the

I didn't read very far (might do so out of curiosity later), but on the early pages the hostility also extended e.g. to therapists, who often aren't even medical practitioners and presumably don't have a direct interest in me

Cloudef's comment might make it seem like it's predominantly a voluntary decision by the homeless, and I disagree with that. AFAIK most homeless people in Finland do have a substance abuse problem, though. Edit: What actually migh

They do have access, at least in theory and to some of the services. But when people do become homeless in Finland, their problems usually run quite deep already, and they may just be quite difficult to help. I don't know if this is tr

I'm not saying you can necessarily do anything; in some cases you can't. I'm just saying that things might not be under those people's voluntary control and decision-making either once mental health issues or substance a

While there's truth to that, it's worth noting that most of those homeless people are suffering from ill mental health and/or substance dependence. You make it sound like they just shrugged and decided that that's the li

A false positive based on keywords that "cannot be reviewed" sounds like a massive failure in policy.

While this certainly makes it much less likely that costly massive human moderation would actually be implemented, I don't think that really qualifies as an argument for why it shouldn't be done. If you think rossdavidh is right

Cars are also much simpler tools than computers in terms of the variety of things people want to do with them. Car analogies applied to computing tend not to be very good, at least partially for that reason.

That's true, but the chances of quite a lot of things happening over 100,000 years are fairly big. Almost everything we do carries a small but non-zero risk of something which, if you stretched it over a hundred thousand years, would a

While it may be true that the American lifestyle is more sedentary, I don't think obesity can be entirely or even mostly explained by that. AFAIK diet generally affects weight more than exercise does; if your diet is energy-heavy, it&#

I'm not who you responded to, but my incremental backups on an external HDD probably always date back at least half a year (seems to be a little over a year at the moment, limited by disk space). I don't know if that's enough

I don't really know if all of that is necessarily true. I've had a ThinkPad X in daily use for 6-7 years now, and I've even fallen flat on top of it after slipping on ice going home one winter. It's still chugging along.

Yeah, I don't doubt the ROMs can be found. It's nevertheless an additional step to take over just throwing DOSBox[-X] at the problem, though. Still, an ambitious project.
