I think they were refering to a lack of interpreter competition. Sure there is pypy, jython, ironpython etc. But they arent competing. They are just used for different usecases. In the browser space their has been a lot of competition to ma

a==b would be true. The is operator is not the same as the equality operator The is operator checks to see if both point to the same area in memory. Small numbers are preallocated in python so they point to the same memory. >>>a=30

Other ways to determine the way they are folded is to isolate the enzyme and to crystalise it and scatter Xrays through it. This is no mean feat, it takes a lot of time and a certain instinct (or brute force with a matrix of conditions) to

That's a solid question. We know the sequence of amino acids, we know what order they are in. but remember they are assembled 1 at a time inside the cell. Andso the way they fold 1 at a time is different from simulating how the whole t

Maybe. But another thing to consider is that if you allow emulation and homebrew you remove two of the three crowds that are trying to crack your security. If you keep it locked down you will have those crowds trying to bypass security and

In HNs defense, dietary science is a minefield of special interest groups, small sample sizes, animal models and poor controls. Not to mention the editorializing of every p < 0.05 by the media and bloggers, along with all of the n=1 anec

I use playon.tv which I purchased during my undergraduate and frequently forget about. It allows one to record content from services they are subscribed to in a DVR-like fashion. The interface is kinda jank but it works just fine. I recorde

One of the other problems is sizing. If you're only allowed to bring back fish over a certain size, over time you are selecting for smaller fish. If bigger fish are more reproductively successful[0] you are also decreasing the rate at

I think it's more: Give a man a fish and he'll have food for a day, Teach a man to fish and he'll have food for the rest of his life. give a man a dollar per fish and he'll deplete his local ecosystem.

I was wondering the same thing. Still images, maybe added blur. As the other commenter suggests, black and white. Maybe combined with some machine learning to interpret what images show, giving a description before showing it to the moderat

Composting does release CO2 if done aerobically, which is ideal. It releases methane if it is allowed to go anearobic. And methane is a more potent GHG. If composting at home you are bringing the carbon cycle close to home. The difference b

Yes thats what aerobic decomposition does. But peat bogs are a carbon sink. Unless we dig it up that carbon stays locked away. Future coal. I also never said anything about the peat industry as a whole, all I said was how digging it up rele
