I meant i as in the iterator variable for a counter like when using enumerate() or a c style for loop where you manually specify the list index.

by SEJeff 4y ago
Yeah i for for loops (in python) x for comprehensions, etc, make sense. But in general, single character variables make code really hard to read.

You think so? I always saw it as Open Source won, and a huge part of it being how RMS is a bit of a repulsive individual even many Free Software proponents are disgusted by. I don't want to sling mud, but some of his stances are not go

With the recent increases at the Shanghai and Austin Gigafactories, Tesla is able to sustain a rate that would extrapolate to two million vehicles manufactured per year.

I learned this from an interview with Elon and some additional reading, but here is an example. Tesla makes their own seats. They asked one of the manufacturers to build them a seat that supports higher G forces than the "standard&quot

I think your data is suspect here. Tesla[6] made 343,000 vehicles in the third quarter of 2022, so thinking they are only able to make 366,000 per year is incorrect. Year to date, from their quarterly reports, Tesla has manufactured 908,573

It really depends on how many you ingest, and it’s generally only fatal for children. If I remember correctly something like 50-60 would kill an adult, but you’ll get quite sick long before that. If you’re eating them as a snack, you should

Large stone fruit pits (virtually all of them, but especially apricots) contain amygdalin, a substance that your body converts to (poisonous) cyanide as you digest it. Depending on the quantity you ingest, this can be lethal. https:/&

No it doesn’t. Open community doesn’t have to be open source. Open source doesn’t have to have an open community. By the OSI definition, most of android is in fact open source. However, much of it is thrown over the wall after a release. Do

In Chicago they sell some pretty heavy duty umbrellas because the wind is very strong. I've since left Chicago and do cherish the umbrella I got there for how heavy duty it is and the fact that even monsoon level winds will not flip it

Counterpoint: do you think it’s wrong to let the sick stay sick and not help them? Addiction is a sickness and often requires a lot of help addicts can not themselves do to quit. You can’t expect someone who isn’t able to help themselves he

It’s common for homeless in the US to not want to stay at shelters at least due to not agreeing with the requirements (being sober) or they think they’re dirty and might have bed bugs. I’ve always tried to get food for betters outside of gr

Oh Starlink is still losing massive amounts of money. There’s absolutely no feasible way they’re profitable at this stage. That said. I’m sure the US Department of Defense will effectively write SpaceX a blank check after seeing how quickly

They’ve already applied to the FCC for the 2Ghz spectrum. They’re already launching the larger 1.5 satellites that include lasers to limit ground stations. They just had a successful test fire of a starship with the engines mounted this wee

A common approach is staking pools, which incentivize decentralization for the greater good of the network. One of the largest ones for eth and several other chains ($7B TVL) is LIDO, of which I’m an eth mainnet and testnet validator node o

The v2 satellites they're testing out to launch on starship are in fact scaled up. The v1.5 they're launching now are larger than the originals which is why they've not launched 60 starlink satellites on a single falcon 9 lau

Not sure why this comment was downvoted. I'm super pro-spacex, but you're spot on for all of these things.
