As someone working in automation, I don't think the real bottleneck here would be python. It seems more like it's waiting for accurate sensor input and trying to properly position itself. Slight mechanical imperfections with a del

I’ve noticed that the number of usable combini toilets is on a steep decline in major cities and tourist areas. A few years ago they were all public and free to use at any time. Then English signs saying “Close the door. Don’t make a mess.

I skimmed through and every page I landed on was an interesting slice of life. The pictures feel “authentic”, more so than the typical magazine photos I come across.

Not saying these all reevolved, but convergent evolution is a thing and pretty common. Without DNA tests of ancient coelacanths and modern ones, how much can we say that it’s the same exact species with little change, vs a related species t

I mean, I like reading HN, but 95% of what I read here is just time filling and it’s still a form of social media.

Because corporations and governments always follow the laws they write and laws never get repealed and overridden. The fourth amendment already has a bunch of exceptions to it, and the constitution is the highest legal framework in the land

They’re advertisers, but (mostly) without the contract, steady income and outright obviousness to their target audience. Traditional ads are marked as ads and given generally separate spaces. This generation is all about “normal” people try

I think there’s a difference between challenging and shutting down. Challenging should be encouraged since it (at least theoretically) forces people to have a reasonable basis for their beliefs. Students who don’t want to be challenged and

Let me preface by saying I disagree with everything you say, but I still think you have the right to say it. Universities are meant to be institutions of learning. Learning isn’t always comfortable. Some long held truths turn out to be wron

If people try to crush speech they don’t like, and fringe groups are the only ones saying they support freedom, otherwise neutral people who are concerned about their rights are going to side with one of those groups. The number of people s

I’m pretty tired of people linking any sort of complaint, worry, and defense of their rights to white supremacy or whatever hate group. Plenty of people stand up for their rights because they legitimately care about freedom. It’s not all so

I think the effort to get people to stop eating meat and XYZ favorite food isn't going to work. A lot of people eat what they eat because they don't really have much food choice. And with some people pushing weird options like bug

Should that be something to arrest someone for, though? I’ve seen his bizarre case being used by the far right as an example of why they’re correct and various conspiracies are against them. And let’s be real, being afraid of a pug to the p

I think this is one of the biggest points. Kids spend all day in school being forced to learn, they come home and do homework, and everything they're doing day to day is exposing them to something new. Every little thing they know feel

Yet Japan is possibly the worst in the world when it comes to plastic waste. They often divide every 2 items from the convenience store into separate bags. Hell, it’s the land of individually plastic wrapped bite sized cookies served in an

I was all around the city and a little out into the countryside for about 5 days. That time did overlap with the major mid-spring holiday in China, so maybe they went all-out with cleaning it up before tourists from other cities poured in.
