I've noticed the same. I'm convinced that the generation that is under 16 today will on average know a lot less about computers compared to 20 years ago.

EU != Europe. EU has a population of just under 450 million. To get even close to an 800 million number you have to include all of both Russian and all the former Soviet states, which in this scenario would be rather misleading, given the g

It only explains what is different between sudo and runas. It doesn't really explain why they couldn't just improve runas and add those missing features instead of creating a new command. As it stands now you seem to need both sud

I guess it really must depend a lot on where you are then, because in my experience of my corner of Europe, lots of companies have had significant layoffs, jobs hunting is getting harder and raises have not at all kept of with inflation.

Anything which makes your prod and local environment differ is a bad thing in my opinion Unless you're writing code that only you will deploy to machines that you control, "prod" and "local" will always be differe

I'm personally afraid that the python community has bifurcated so far that a single 'correct' solution is doomed to fail. The needs of people writing and deploying HTTP/REST servers is just so different from the people w

It's not really on poetry. While this is on the one hand at least partially true, it is also the case that as long a poetry can't deal with these (and similar) cases then it cannot really be said to be a candidate for the '

The fact that it only kind of sort of incidentally works some times shows clearly that people who consider PyTorch a vital library for their work aren't the target audience for poetry. Another use case they don't really care about

The tools and libraries for both GIS and Civil Engineering are also much much more developed in Python compared to Ruby. As are the tools for most areas of mathematics, and probably most other scientific and engineering fields.

Fair enough. When/where I was growing up up D&D meant one of the coloured boxes (white if you where very old, but red/blue mostly). AD&D was always called AD&D. Never heard anyone say "0e".

I'd guess they're worth $50-70 each if they've been reasonably (ab)used and maybe $200-250 if in very good condition.

Are you sure you're not confusing D&D with AD&D? Pretty sure, the original D&D didn't have the player guide/dm guide split. There are also at least two version of the core first edition AD&D books, with the fi

The long term maintainability is an important point that most comments here ignore. If you need to run the command once or twice every now and then in an ad hoc way then sure hack together a command line script. But "email Jeff and a

Even offside has subjectivity It does today, but the whole point of the AI would be to remove that subjectivity. Offside would be whatever the AI said is offside. Not saying this would necessarily be a good thing for the game, but it wou

The police or anyone else are not going to stick a tag on a box with your name and number so you can come to claim it after the grace period elapses This of course varies a lot by jurisdiction, but yes, in many places that is exactly what

It would all happen in a second or two Ideally AI and goal line technology should solve this. If the computer knows where the ball and all the players are at all time, then checking if the ball crosses the line or if anybody was offside l

it'd be instant success for the leagues I'm sceptical. An AI that could view the whole playing field at all time and instantly spot and call every rule infraction with 100% accuracy would pretty much ruin any game. Knowing when

By far the best self-checkout systems are the ones where you scan your groceries as you go and just pay when you leave. Not only can you pack your stuff into bags directly in your shopping cart as go, but you also get a running tally of how

no amount of money will change the situation Of course it would. If you had $500M instead of $500k then none of those things would affect you in the slightest. Inflation could run at 20% for a decade and you could lose 80% of your capital

$500k is nowhere near enough to be 'safe'. One 'unfortunate event', a couple of bad years in the market or a few years of high inflation and you'll have eaten into your capital to a point where you'll either ha
