I think there is some truth in both what you and GP are saying. Speaking from personal experience, my team has hired college dropouts who have turned out to be some of the best learners and problem solvers we've got. I have also interv

Perhaps you should spend a bit more time around music junkies before making such authoritative statements about the market for vinyl :). I am personally close to two communities who still consume vinyl for neither of the reasons you've

It can certainly be harmful when people are walking down the street glued to their phones. Anecdotally, I could not tell you how many times I've seen someone almost walk into traffic, into a stationary object, or into another person on

Indeed. Many historians cite the opening of another front in the Pacific theater by the Soviets as the primary cause for the Japanese surrender (although this is a hotly debated issue).

I had the same initial reaction to 2) (incsearch) at first after having to work in a shared environment with it enabled. After a little while getting used to it I found it actually sped up my workflow quite a bit! YMMV, but you may find it

I've had a somewhat similar experience. On the other hand, I still reach to Flask more frequently due to it's ability to integrate much more easily with SQLAlchemy, which I find vastly preferable to the Django ORM.

Sure! In terms of raw text extraction (for documents that don't require OCR), the most useful tools I've worked with have been pdftotext [0] and PyMuPDF [1]. For extracting useful details, really, my best advice is to make sure th

I'm not really taking anything on faith here. Anyone with an undergraduate-level physics education should not have a difficult time making sense of all of this. The Greenhouse Effect was first theorized by Joseph Fourier in the early 1

Selenium can absolutely be used for this, the caveat being that it is much slower than using a regular HTML parser. In my experience, it's best to milk as much as you possibly can out of a site's plain HTML and APIs, only resortin
