I have a similar issue with Time Machine backups. I’ll plug in wall power and a USB drive, do `caffeinate -u -t 7200` or so - and still Time Machine often fails to complete.

Nice guy by the way! Met him on a train home from work once. I was working on my computer, glanced left and saw someone with a red beard running a tiling WM on some real boy system. Since we were in the silent zone, I wrote phk? In

Security and utility are separate qualities. You’re correct that inaccessible money are useless, however one could make the case that they’re secure.

On the other hand, there’s a solid use case for underflow.

It’s like playing Plague Inc. (reverse version of Pandemic the board game where you play as the disease): to win, develop all possible methods of spreading first; only then develop symptoms, and do it fast before anyone has time to react

How about Option<bool> for that? In SQL you could have a nullable Boolean column

The first two factions you describe in Python (types, testing etc. vs. data science and Anaconda) can work together just fine. Source: I am in both factions, as are my colleagues :)

According to Wikipedia, the reactor on a Virginia-class sub has 280,000 hp (thermal, I guess) and 2x40,000 shp steam turbines. So a little less oomph than 2 out of the 5 fuel pumps on a Saturn V, just for an irrelevant comparison ;)

It’s interesting to consider the opportunity cost of these 1.42 hours/year, which the study completely misses. What would I have contributed to my GDP in the 5 seconds it took to ‘Reject all’ on Reddit?

I use macOS daily for dev and office work, and to me it doesn’t feel languishing at all. Add Homebrew and Docker or Podman, and we’re off. The only places I can see there could be features missing are: - IT management type stuff where it lo

In several European countries, those parts of a license that put the customer in a worse position than what the law stipulates are simply invalid.

I’m no nuclear physicist (only a climate/math physicist), so I had to look it up. If a helium-4 nucleus were to absorb a fission neutron, it looks like it would transmute to helium-5, which has a half-time of 602 ys (yoctoseconds), and

A couple of points I can think of, 1) the Helium nucleus is exceedingly stable so the coolant won’t get radioactive from neutron activation, 2) the coolant being chemically inactive means you can use run the reactor at higher temperatures,
