You can get more bolt twists by enabling BoltTweet(tm) and connecting your social accounts. Every time a bolt turns more than 90 degrees BoltTweet(tm) will let all your friends and family know JUST HOW MUCH YOU LOVE BOLTS.

NZ is nice but it’s too small, I live in the biggest city, and the Python community is very small, and culturally NZ pretty barren being such a young country. I lived in Germany, Spain and the UK for the last 10 years and it was much better

I work at a hedge fund, and I spent 98% of my time writing code. I usually work on 2-3 experiments simultaneously, and every day or two take 2 hours off to work on "zany schemes" -- moonshot type ideas that occasionally are very l

What will they do with it? In the videos I have seen it's just a bunch of people looking at photos on the couch or watching a movie, it looks boring. Do you think some sort of game will push it?

They should have the right to express themselves freely but people need to understand that the bar to do so is so much lower than “submitting a paper” as you say. Therefore any uninformed, emotional crackpot can submit a rant with no proof,
