Multi-season series rarely work these days. They will be either cancelled too early (e.g. 1899), or closed/cancelled too late (e.g. Walking Dead). Both are disrespectful to the time the viewer spent on the series. Limited series is the

Economist articles are usually well-founded and fairly objective, but not this one. With cherry-picked quotes from several reports but no citations, this read like it was written to serve some agenda/narrative. E.g. a study "found

I would be hesitant to shell out 400 EUR for a music-player-only device. But this is a very appealing phone form factor, if Sony could also squeeze-in a GSM module, a workable (not necessarily great) camera, and more storage (32GB sounds ra

Yes, dental coverage in NL kind of sucks. The way it is structured now, it often makes more sense to make a "dental savings" account rather than paying the insurance surcharge. There is action to change that though. Doctors of the

Yes, this is exactly the case. The reason for this is that fillings can't be made super-small, and you always need to grind some healthy tooth tissue for the filling to bind. So, a dentist needs to decide if the decay has gone far enou

It would be interesting to also try this on more underpowered systems. E.g. aging armv5-based NAS boxes. Would we have similar performance improvements, or any improvements would be hampered by poor I/O performance and architectural in

This looks just like goto-based error handling in C (e.g. [1]). But that is an invention of necessity, lacking better error handling mechanisms. Conceptually, the "two track system" doesn't make much sense. It models the erro

Not a word though about the elephant in the room: circular imports. It is absurdly easy in Python to end up with a circular import situtation, where no real circular dependency exists. E.g. you can't have A.a1 -> B.b1 and B.b2 ->
