I was 50/50 in 2011 between Python and Ruby (Django / Rails). Went with python in the end, kind of glad I did. Ruby has fallen off a lot in popularity, while python hasn't. Also Python seems to be a lot more general purpose,

For technical things I still find google better, mostly because the manage to get the most recent relevant version of a library, while DDG that was my default often returned out of date versions. For anything with a political slant, hell no

This seems like an argument of semantics. I see both of your statements as true.

River high up in mountains aren't where the power lies. You could damn all of those 4 but the water coming off of them wouldn't affect the large important parts of rivers downstream too much.

The Karnarli comes from Mt Kailash, which is a tributary of the Ganges.

There are 4 sacred river that originate from Mt Kailash as far as I remember. https://www.wondersoftibet.com/mount-kailash-four-river-sour... (I have kayaked the Karnarli, well worth a rafting trip if you are in Nepal). I t

It's all just models. The dire predictions are anyway.

How do you open a file and print "hello world" these days? It was at least a screen full of code the last time I looked at Java, but that was a while ago.

Things like Django or Requests are old stable projects in python.

Actually from a business perspective PHP or something would be the best choice? Lots of (relatively speaking) cheap devs available at all levels. Wasn't Java designed around the idea of medicore developers not being able to mess up too

My mates were playing DJ in a bar one time. I fiddled with some of the knobs and buttons. Could barely make out the difference.I imagine randomly doing that with a nuclear reactor might be somewhat different.

Would be interesting to compare failure rates or problems before and after. Active use for almost a century is pretty good going.

These seem to be a hardware version of what we now have in user interfaces on a screen. Does anyone know of the likelihood of faults with hardware compared to software bugs?

Ask HN: How does one go about bringing a hardware product to market?

Do you have any links where I could read more? I do fast now and then, I did it more strictly in the past, but I am naturally pretty skinny so I don't want to loose weight. These days I can do 18 hours without too much effort, but it d

Why? The vaccines don't stop transmission, it should be none of Apple's business. Plus coercion for a medial treatment should be a big no no, especially one that has been rushed through like this with no long term data available.

I listened to him recently and he seems to be looking at the climate problem in exactly the way that we should be - taking a step back, looking at the big picture, what works and what doesn't, instead of focusing on one aspect hysteri

I tend not to self censor too much (though I do on certain topics, where people are ready too jump). I get banned on pretty much every reddit sub that has any kind of political element to it now.

I got slightly offended when I first got called an anti-vaxxer a few months ago (having had plenty of traditional vaccines). These days if people call me it it just pre-warns me that they have no real idea what they are talking about, and t

What do you mean by simulators? An anonymized copy of a database or something similar?

Generally the more difficult a test is to write and run, the more useful it is.

It seems deliberate that they are trying to destroy the control group.

- Safe and effective! - Maybe a problem, but rare. Still get one. - More common than we originally thought. We can guess what happens next. Covid has very little impact on young healthy people, the vaccine appears to make transmission worse

Get a new job. I had a similar thing with my first job, (though it wasn't fun), just an undocumented, unintuitive system, plus pretty introverted team, so not very good at helping. I was unproductive. When I did ask for help it was ter

It is heresy to acknowledge the problem that has appeared in the last year. Except in Japan.

No mention of coerced vaccination and the associated passports that are being forced on much of the world?

I am quite free market ideology but one man getting close to a billion, when he isn't even a founder seems kind of excessive. Change my mind.

Compared to breaking the speed limit it isn't. Most people don't steal. I am guessing most drivers speed at least occasionally.

Interesting way of looking at it, but if you want to make a positive impact for the most people then supplying more housing would make a lot more sense than messing with prices.
