So the rate of star creation over time is b ^ x , where 0 < b <= 0.5 (i.e. exponential decrease) ? Or perhaps e ^ (-bx) , where x >= 1 (i.e. exponential decay) ? Sounds logical enough, considering that there was a lot more raw mate

While I laud the analysis, the methodology seems questionable at best. Lacking strawberry, quinoa, chia, and even paprika. Where's the rigour?

Rust has always clearly labelled itself as first and foremost a systems programming language. It strictly maintains performance and safety as its top priorities. It doesn't go out of its way to be easy to learn or to use, compared with

I have said to people, a number of times, only half-joking, that the most complex maths I do during a typical day as a paid programmer, is adding 1 to a number. I dropped maths in my last year of high school (halfway through calculus), not

That's what I love about Spanish. There is this iron-clad rule that everything is spelt exactly as it's pronounced. Compared to English (or French), it's so ridiculously easy that (I sometimes think to myself) it must be a to

Yes. This is me too. And I've seldom been bothered about it. I have many times been called slow, but never stupid, and that's fine with me. I consider myself quite articulate, but I'm much more comfortable expressing myself i

I'm a fan of formatting UUIDs in Base62 (which is like Base64 but doesn't require any non standard alpha-numeric characters). I have used Base62-encoded UUIDs in URLs and APIs on several occasions. It's not standard, but if y
