BioNTech SE An der Goldgrube 12 55131 Mainz, Germany I'm all for giving the US credit for healthcare R&D, there's a lot of credit due. But don't just take it for granted, or you'll miss the signs that po

I'm glad to hear it. I may watch the sequel now. Maybe the rumors I heard was an intentional mislead.

The BR that I watched was more that an atmospheric sci-fi flic. It was an epic parable of the human condition. In the beginning it juxtaposes humans and replicants, but what you're supposed to realise along the way is that the life o

Here's a version that takes much less willpower. The next time you buy junk food, the first thing you do as you get home is that you divide that junk food into two piles: That which you intend to consume today, and that which you were

In this case, Green apparently thought that possessing the NFT implied controlling the copyright for the artwork: "Green was planning to use his ape as a character in an upcoming animated show." What's stopping him? The imag

The linked FSF statement by Eben Moglen is about enforceability, not future GPL licenses. The normal state of affairs for a GPL'ed project is having mixed copyright. After all, you can't stop anyone from forking to add their own,

It's just so weird. If you think about it, this is the FSF saying that they don't believe the GPL works.

Your desire to be right is interfering with your imagination.

Again, you do not actually know that. If you read what I wrote earlier, then you would understand that there are plausible scenarios where no intentional breakage occurred.

The string is intentional. But that doesn't mean the author had a practical way of making the driver work with any and all clones.
251.
by munch117 4y ago
How could you possibly know that? For all we know, the new driver could have been a rewrite from scratch (say to support new products that run at higher speeds than the older driver could support), and the new driver never worked with this

Triple the heating bill is what we're seeing right now for natural gas consumers. The at worst scenario is way beyond that.

I have bad news for you: If the project works perfectly on an older C compiler, but crashes hard on a more recent one, then that means the code has undefined behaviour. Probably it's doing some type-punning - using casts or unions to a

I use "andel", but if you don't write your variable names in Danish, then it might look a little strange. "Share" would be the direct translation, but that word usually means something else in programming. In Engl

"Always in Daylight savings time" is just a different time zone. Doesn't need a setting of its own.

Not at all bogus. If "eroding trust in stdlib as a stable baseline" is an important issue to you, then you can do something about it by helping provide the resources that allows old modules to be kept. Core language backwards com

If you want to step up and be the maintainer of one or more of these modules in the standard library, I'm pretty sure you would be welcomed. PEP 594 is basically just a formalisation of the fact that no one has volunteered to do this

I am insanely productive writing desktop applications with wxPython+wxWize. No GUI designer, no XML, just straight up Python code that's easy to follow and easy to refactor. I can whip up a prototype as fast as I ever could in Delphi,

I did read the paper, 30 years ago.

If you can solve the halting problem, then you can apply it to a solution checker that works by enumerating potential solutions and halting when it finds one. Therefore, if you've solved the halting problem then you've also solve

Care to tell us who did prove it then? While the 1936 paper, "On Computable Numbers", doesn't explicitly mention the halting problem, it does cover the Entscheidungsproblem, and that the halting problem is undecidable follows

I'm intrigued by the first statement: "Recovery [...] appears exponential". If it's exponential, then there's a measurable decay rate. Or you could express it as a half life. So what is the half life of COVID after

Doesn't matter. It's fine for _l functions to be slower, because that's for information being formatted for display, which is inherently low-volume. What matters is to make the non-_l functions faster and more predictable, w
