Of course I did that: I crossed out the address, and wrote in big black letters "return to sender, addressee not known at this address". That didn't help. I guess I should have used a sharpie to make the To: address illegible

Yeah same here, fond memories of the 'droppings' I did as a kid. It's probably worth pointing out that Belgian (and Dutch) woods are relatively safe: it would be difficult to get truly lost. The wooded areas are never more th

Hah, tried that. The local post office will just deliver it to your mailbox again, and again, and again. My record is 3 times for a real piece of mail addressed to someone who used to live where I live. After that I just recycled it.

You could try the tool my group builds, Arvados ( https://arvados.org ). We use Common Workflow Language (CWL) as the workflow language. Arvados works great for very large computations and data management at petabyte scale. It rea

Yes, this is very common. But there are also many people who use Common Workflow Language ( https://www.commonwl.org/ ) for this purpose. CWL allows for workflow portability between execution engines. The open source engine m

Your statement is nonsense. I agree that anti-vaxers are brainwashed to deny science and basic statistics. Comparing anti-vaxxers with people who dislike nuclear power for rational reasons (like me) is disingenuous. I have two big problems

PyPy is faster than Python, yes. But Go, C and many other (compiled) languages are way faster than PyPy. Plus, if you use a language like Go or Rust then you avoid Python's GIL and you'll have much more reasonable memory usage. Be

It's about density and available space. I don't think most people around here think of Cambridge as a suburb of Boston. I'd say Newton is a suburb of Boston. Lexington too. But not Cambridge or Somerville. Suburb evokes lots
