I sort of agree. But there's no right answer here. We can't expect every Wikipedia article to take you through the basics of the subject from scratch. A certain level of knowledge just has to be assumed, and it's hard to know

You mean, the time it takes at run-time? I'm not quite sure what you mean - I think Julia's package management is generally better than Python (which is a mess) - it doesn't play well with Nix but I can't really blame it

I am now quite curious about this book. One thing which seemes puzzling and distinctive about autism is that it appears to manifest much more in males than females (I think somewhat over 4x) - I'd be interested to see how Baron-Cohen a

I am slightly surprised about the general take on this I see here. I am definitely no python-hater and would take it a hundred times out of a hundred over, say, javascript, but as a language I feel like it is showing its age in a number of

Frequently I feel that there is a conflation of the inherent attributes of a platform like Gab or Parler, and its user base. Though they may pitch themselves at a certian audience, social media platforms don't ultimately get to choose

Do you listen mostly to music with lyrics or accoustic music? I find the latter helpful but the former quite unhelpful - like trying to do math when somebody next to you is shouting randon numbers. But I have a faint recollection of having
