In the pure Python cases the 8 bytes per attribute are just pointers. The x, y and z are themselves full-blown objects with all the extra memory overhead that comes with it and this is not counted in the article. For example, an int object

It's very easy to make the soap yourself and to super-fatten it to your own liking. Basically just mixing the oil with lye and water (and perhaps fragrance). The weight ratios can be obtained with for example this calculator: http:&#x

I watched a similar scene, but with magpies escorting the local cat out of the park. One magpie walking right behind the cat, pecking at the tail, and some others running interference in front of it. The cat made no attempt to catch the bir

Right, two thirds of the energy of natural gas comes from the hydrogen atoms which, when burned with oxygen, produce water. On the other hand burning "beautiful, clean coal" only yields CO2 and a bit of SO2.

Ceramic is no teflon... I accidentally proved this by leaving an empty ceramic pan on the fire. It took take an amazing high temperature with the aluminium underside discolored a bit but otherwise perfectly fine, still use it today.

Does anyone know why the IO-die is so large? Does it contain L3 cache or something?

Not really, it starts a sub-event loop that still handles all the events sequentially. What can be a problem is infinite recursion, if inside an event handler a new nested event loop is started.

Probably at least as important is that the starch is broken down to 100% glucose, with no fructose.

It must be off by 3 of 4 orders of magnitude. Python with asyncio does about 120_000 switches per second with a trivial fibre/coroutine here: import time import asyncio REPS = 1_000_000 async def coro(): for i in rang

> Comparing a string to a bytestring should not just always evaluate to false, it should (IMHO) raise a type error. Equality testing is implicitly done in a lot of places (like searching), it would become a bit of a hassle if the basic t

It's probably the massive blue peak around 450nm. This wavelength maximally activates cryptochrome protein which might influence the circadian rhythm. In CFFLs the blue is more spread around in the spectrum.

The problem could be over-breathing, i.e. exhaling too much CO2. This lowers the blood CO2/bicarbonate levels and inhibits the oxygen release from hemoglobine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_effect ). The reme

That's what I thought too, that there is just a byte stream being tunneled between SSH server and client and not a TCP packet stream. Btw I use unix sockets on client and server to avoid the local connection TCP overhead.

In my experience people that are very verbose, that talk or write at great length and with ease, tend to have a dislike for terse formulations. Sometimes to the point of being offended by it. Math is just about the ultimate in terse notatio
