Another example, initial setup is beginner-unfriendly. No IDLE-like barebones editor provided out-of-the-box in the standard install, just the REPL. Anything beyond that you must figure out and configure by yourself.

Did someone try to implement a processor that runs Python VM bytecode natively, as it was attempted for Java[1]? I wonder how fast Python would run by replacing a virtual machine with a physical Python machine. [1] https://en.wik

It's private, but they can't claim it's just "dumb pipes" given all the curation they do through algorithms. So they are open to face consequences for whatever they choose to do. They shouldn't be able to push

So instead of the BS about DNA preserved in ambar (it doesn't actually work), Jurassic Park should have dinosaur DNA recovered from frozen samples collected from a shaded moon crater?

I'd like to see a study about this, but age-adjusted. I think marriage pays mainly in the long term. It's easier to report you're better single when you still young, healthy, and socializes a lot outside immediate family. As

I think a great example of the point you're trying to make is taxi drivers and motorsport pilots.

Sudan is, like, over 1000 km wide. The Gaza strip is only 25 km in its longest side. In one case sheer distance imposes some logistic challenges to deliver aid. In the other the distance that separates starving people from food could be tra

That makes me wonder if there is a height range in humans that maximizes lifespan, on average. Beyond cancer, people that are too tall probably face other shortcomings as they age, like higher damage from falls, increased risk of back pain,

The famine in Gaza generates a lot of outrage because there was a line of trucks loaded with food rotting outside, as there is an apartheid system in place actively withholding food to generate said famine. We have even instances were soldi
