Hm, that's a good point. I forgot about the free travel within the EU. Still I recall that 5 or 6 years ago, there were checks at the Romanian-Hungarian border. After doing some research, it seems that while Romania is in the EU since

What is your heuristics based on? Quite often though, you know a little about some thing. How do you adjust your heuristics then? What about the job that I started two months ago, should I expect to work there by December 2023? If the US w

AoC is somewhat more difficult, but is it worth a blog post? Especially for a professor? The stats https://adventofcode.com/2022/stats show that there are ~9000 people who solved all of the problems. Even if a fraction

Is anyone surprised that there's a .dog top level domain? When did they add all these extra domains? Also where's the .god TLD?

I wouldn't use this. Relying on tricky operator precedence can trip up your readers. It's better to just wrap everything in parentheses. I also use parentheses when mixing && and ||, even though their precedence relationsh

I agree, you speak too fast, and use "like" and "basically" way too much. See if you can find a way to improve your diction. Another thing, in most episodes, it seems like you have a list of questions that you want to as

The difficulty certainly plays a role in how much "free" time is needed to participate. If early problems can be solved with a quick 10 minute script, later problems take the top 100th person about 1-2 hours -- which means it tak

The solution is to have more contests throughout the year, with starting times spread out throughout the day (for different time zones). There are plenty of platforms (Codeforces, Codechef, Atcoder) that run regular (weekly/monthly) co

Who cares about the Leaderboard on the easy problems? If the time difference between the 10th solve and the 100th solve is within a minute, the rank is pretty much a coin toss.

This is intriguing. Can you provide more details? Did you have customers prior to deciding to "no longer hunt for work"? Or do you plan to find customers/build a new product?

I believe masklinn is talking about whether `zip` consumes an extra element from the longer iterator on the last iteration, when the shorter iterator raises StopIteration. And the behavior might vary depending on the order of the arguments.

I was looking for a way to implement this more pythonically. And this looks great. But it made me think that if x and y are of different lengths, the last iteration might consume an element out of the longer iterator. So I tried it with the

The fear is not that they will use nukes during the collapse, but that after the collapse, there will be multiple smaller nations, each with their own supply of nukes and unpredictable governments. This was also a concern during the collaps
