>Python 3.8 programmers will be able to do: print(f'{foo=} {bar=}') Ugh, how did this get approved? It's such a bizarre use case, and debugging by print should be discouraged anyway. Why not something like debug_print(foo,

Very few people live in permafrost areas, so it won't be a massive problem. Something like Lake Kivu on the other hand...

Putin did shit-talk renewable energy recently. I'm sure he's happy with all the gas that's being burned. The time when Russia runs out of gas won't be his problem.

Ask to replace in-person meetings with an internet chat (IRC/Slack/whatever). Loud people can't overshout others in a chat, unless they use ALL CAPS which looks silly.

In Russia banks love giving out 500 euro notes when you exchange rubles to euros, the problem is most places in Europe don't accept 500 euro notes for payment, even for sums that are more than 500 euro (such as paying for hotel stay).

In case of Germany, it's anti-science anti-nuclear "environmentalists" that are destroying it. Energy is needed regardless of the economic structure of society. Now which kind of energy will it be? Germany chose coal and now

It would be irrational not to. You're far more likely to die in a car accident.

But it's not the Bible that is stupid, it's just a book (which might've been considered pretty advanced stuff at the time it was written). What if I have a problem specifically with some of its believers?

Some religious people think a human fetus is a fully formed human instead of a bunch of cells that it is. From their point of view, common pro-abortion arguments are "dehumanizing".

That's why you develop in Common Lisp. The language specification is 20 years old and is never getting updated. Your software will work forever!

Indentation is semantic only in Python (which incidentally uses spaces). In any other language it's a purely visual property - the code works the same regardless of indentation.

On the other hand it might be an opportunity to prove that a nuclear disaster (even in an outdated reactor and the worst case scenario of the largest tsunami ever) isn't all that bad. Instead of leaving it alone, there's an active

Well, the continuous fraction for e is pretty well known. Doubt they discovered anything new here that can't be obtained from the original formula. On the other hand, the continuous fraction for pi is irregular, so it's interestin

Why is Chuo Shinkansen [1] never mentioned, either in the article or in either of these two discussions? It's an actual intercity maglev line being built right now, so you'd think it would be the first thing to compare to this Chi

Well, Lisp code can't be properly indented with just tabs. So tough luck, I guess? Why wouldn't editors programmers use allow to customize indentation space size instead? So you could set up each indentation space = 2 characters a

If you ignore the thumbs, each finger has 3 subsections, so in total you have 12 "slots" on your hand. And you can use them to count with the spare thumb. It's even more convenient than counting on fingers because you're

That's nitpicking. When someone says they're banned from Twitter it means their account can't be used to make tweets, not that they cannot read Twitter while logged out, or that they can't make a new Twitter account.

Well, sexuality is a spectrum. The exact number of gay people depends on what is defined as a cut-off. It seems reasonable to me that at least 1 in 4 people wouldn't be 100% straight.

Ok, so you admit that: 1) increase of background radiation is not harmful to "nature" (usually defined as "all living things, arbitrarily excluding humans"), or at least less harmful than human presence 2) nuclear plants
