Anecdote: I asked for the "mushroom burger" on their menu at an airport years ago -- I didn't want meat and it had nothing indicting meat in the listed ingredients that I checked -- and they brought me a hamburger beef patt

Usually, when I travel, it helps me to better understand and respect that other people may have different perspectives or experiences than me. This is probably the first time I'm seeing someone so cultured achieve the exact opposite, s

That was terrible, I used to always turn it off. It's like speaking one word and the person interrupting you based on the prefix you had uttered so far... every single darn word. Imagine writing "how do I kill" and having it

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about this. Indentation never got in the way of Python's success. There are plenty other things to worry about besides this.

by dataflow 2mo ago
FYI, Windows's approach is better in some respects, like letting you avoid syscall overhead in some cases.

This feels like a strawman and doesn't really attempt to answer my question. These kinds of broad generalizations really need good evidence/citation.

Re: your first paragraph, I don't get it, what does spatial locality have to do with recursion vs. iteration? And the blanket speed claim doesn't make sense either. I feel like you're thinking of a specific algorithm or acces

You're saying every population everything on earth could solve their freshwater problem with desalination if only they had cheap energy? No other issues here besides lack of energy?

by dataflow 2mo ago
Er... for starters, hasn't one of the biggest arguments against desalination been the ecological impact? Or are we assuming spherical cows here?
