Your script has what looks to be a pretty big inefficiency here[1] that's slowing it down. Looping over a set kills the constant-time presence-checking that you get from using that data structure; it will likely be much faster to do so

You can also choose to pass the FE exam to qualify for the patent bar; most states require a BS in engineering to take the FE exam, but not all, and an FE pass in a state that doesn't still qualifies.

I've rented cars with CarPlay before; I find that the ideal way to go about it is to do a location search as I'm walking to the car and start navigation; once I plug in the phone and enter CarPlay, it picks up seamlessly onscreen.

If that's the case, it looks like the chip has a surprisingly modern feature set. For example, based on this article[1], the RSC on which the RAD6000 was based had an on-chip memory controller in 1992. It also had a branch predictor, h

The article linked to a set of posix-spawn benchmarks[1] that seemed to indicate that while fork/exec time scaled linearly with resident memory on Linux, it did not scale at all on macOS. First of all, I was somewhat confused by that d

That's not accurate; first generation MacBook Pros used 32-bit Core Duo processors as well, as did almost all the early-2006 models; the exception being the lowest-end Mac Mini, which had a single-core 32-bit Core Solo. 32-vs-64-bit wa

The stat you cite is actually 1979, but if you look at the income proportions[1] at that time relative to current by-quintile income proportions, the growth in taxation of the top quintile between 1979 and 2005 is slightly greater than line

It looks like this API in particular expects all requests to have a User-Agent header, and we don't set one by default. Setting any user agent appears to work; the issue isn't with the `Accept` header. You can reproduce with curl

The heartbreaking thing is that if you're willing to only target 2.7 on the Python 2 front, it's relatively trivial to write in Python 3 and have it be immediately compatible in Python 2 using from __future__ imports.
