Never ever. The two world wars artificially lowered life expectancy, so everything that comes after seems to be better, but does not need to be better. Furthermore, the world wars cherry-picked the genetically fittest, so a few generations

Source? And do not take the word 'weakling' too narrow. Weak mind, weak immune system,... have of course its influence on survival probability.

It helps avoiding typos, but most are well indicated by the code highlighting of the code editor, even for Python. It helps to use the right data type when 'connecting' two objects. But it constraints the usefulness of code that c

No. The people make the mess. For persistence, only UTC without timezone makes sense. For UI, with few exceptions, only local time without time zone in ISO 8601 makes sense. The only not so easy decision is: is it better to store as Unix ep

That is not astonishing, that is the stupiest shit one can imagine. And because of the monkey nature of humans and the dominance of the US american 'culture' in the world, that will spread to other countries, too.

Searching for 'R' in CRAN returns around 24000 R packages, pypistats.org tells about 437000 Python packages. This is not a major difference to you? I admit, that R has an advantage in bleeding edge statistics, e.g. from papers. Bu

I think you have a rather strange picture of preneolithic societies.

So why didn't/don't they use Java, R & Perl more often? Because with Java you have to write inflated Fugu, R is too specific and it lacks the vast ecosystem of Python, and Perl causes eye cancer.

If you get killed, all your sorrows go away. And as weaklings get more likely killed, the species evolves in a positive way. So it is a win-win-win strategy.

Why 'reversion to the mean'?

On contrary. No scientist, except computer scientists, wants to deal with the quirks of most programming languages. Python has several advantages that you do not find in that combination in any other language: 1. It is very readable, IMHO t

When I switched to Arch Linux, I learned that pip has a --user option to install Python packages in the home dir of the current user. This is essential to not interfere with the system install from the system package manager. I had really t

Some years ago, I read a scientific article that compared the number of murders per capita in the stone age to nowadays. The authors came to the same conclusion: stone ages where way more violent than the present. But I then calculated&#x2F

Just to put your numbers to reality: I just roughly estimated the density of doctors in my childhood in 70s Germany: around 1:5000 to 1:10000. And the density of psychologists/psychatrists was around 1:100000. IMHO, that was and is eno

I'm not in product photography, but the work of Eberhard Schuy is really inspiring. He wrote some books about how he works, concealing nothing or at most a little bit of his tricks.

Didn't read the article, but I'm sure the author meant 'self-discipline'. Which can be achieved with the right amount of discipline in childhood.

If I understand correctly, option B makes not much sense. If your user can provide an encryption key, he can as well provide the token or whatever directly. When does your SaaS initiate the connection to the other services? Autonomous at ar
