Pydantic is so cool and I am really excited to migrate to v2. My biggest pain point in Pydantic is that it has no abstract base class for a serializer/deserializer. There is just BaseModel. This means that there is no "Pydantic in

I'm too lazy to downscale it myself, so here's a 180x180 picture of the moon from WP [1]. This looks about the same as the Samsung result [2]. They are not getting the original detail, but they are getting the detail they should e

I guess you could restart the whole thing to let new players join or people replay it. I am envisioning something like Mass Effect or Skyrim, which made money, but with thousands of other people with you. Perhaps I am underestimating the co

Python is no Scala when it comes to operator overloading, but it has enough to make parser combinators work cleanly. funcparserlib [1] and Parsita [2] are two such libraries. For example, this does what you probably expect in Parsita:

It is good to remember when seeing a study showing a link between blood-type and some outcome: blood-type itself means very little biologically (it is one largely irrelevant gene among tens of thousands), but blood-type is heavily correlate

Probably. The whole time I was there, IT was a disaster. I did not know if the people at top were incompetent or they were just woefully underfunded like IT is in many companies. After a billion dollar loss, I would hope Merck came at it fr

As far I understood, particular machines were under GxP requirements, but the vast majority were not. We scientists had local admin access to our laptops. To access some GxP software, we connected via a client that was like a remote desktop

I completely agree that it's important to take this kind of thing into account when approaching a problem like this. As I say in the post, "There are 31 days and one of them has to be smallest. Maybe the 11th isn’t an outlier; i
