Nitpick: Numpy is the newest, revised and reconciled vector library for Python; The first one was called “Numeric”; then there was “Numarray” which was not fully compatible, which caused a bifurcated ecosystem; and then IIRC it was Travis O

“First” here might be right with respect to Java. Lisp basically had all of these in the 1990s. Perhaps earlier.

Most languages are not very different as far as the semantics go. The Algol family, for example (Pascal, C, C#, Java, Lua, Python, …) - if you know any of them well, it’s easy to pick the others up quickly. But a language includes idioms, t

Yes, but the context of this discussion was Q:"why is Windows Defender using 2GB of ram!?!?" A:"It only does that if no other process needs the memory". Which works fine only if there is only one distinguished process. M

They are non-sterilizing ; that is, they protect the vaccinee from getting the disease, but not from getting (and shedding) the virus. We have sterilizing oral ones. They have safety issues, both personal and population level ones. The esse

For many years, Israel used both - injection, followed by oral a few years later. At some point, it stopped with the oral - but e.g. in 2013 following some increased sewage levels detected, Israel had a population wide oral vaccine drive[0]

Unfortunately, for the ultra orthodox, yes. The parliamentary system is a majority coalition, and more often than not, the ultra orthodox parties are the kingmakers, so they get a lot more influence than one would expect. Specifically, they

I have a DBMS, a browser, and an antivirus - all of which would love to have "free ram" that's not currently in use by other programs in order to speed up its own work. How do I tell the system which of them I prefer (or some

Where’s the setting where one decides between file system cache, anti-virus, swap space, and other uses? If there was one, it would be fine.

That’s interesting. I never “see” anything like that in my mind, but a few times in high school, I was explaining some geometric proof to a classmate; at the end, he noted that my verbal explanation and my finger pointing at the chart were

That’s an iPhone 6S; I’ve seen them go for $100, or less with stuff like “battery runs out in 3 mins so must be connected to charger” which should be sufficient if you just develop.

I am not a US citizen, but I do know one who lives outside the US, and for several years, had to prove to Maryland that they are not a resident -- each year anew -- until they gave up and listed their non-US address with the IRS, which made

If you maintain a mailing address in a state, it will be on you to prove you don’t live there (and expect to have to do it on a yearly basis). If you have an address outside the US, it is a good idea to tell the IRS to mail you at that addr

There’s also a circle with a diagonal line through it (on phone, no Unicode keyboard) which consistently with the above axes of symmetry transposes a matrix; don’t remember if it transposes first two or last two axes on higher rank arrays.

There were similar low code/no code systems at the time, they were called “App Makers” or “App Generators”. Something in the class of VB6 or early Delphi is not commonly available. Everything today is comparatively clunky and bureaucra

I don’t know the answer, but different animals are very different in these respects; for example - humans and squirrels need to eat vitamin C, but other mammals synthesize it themselves.

This works well for the audit part - have done this myself more than once - but makes it hard to impossible to get good query performance for some kinds of queries. You need to have a trigger that keeps an "up-to-date" view of onl
