My pet peeve is when I have an application crash and the error message has been translated. Now googling it is extra fun, not to mention bug reporting. Fortunatly with Linux, I usually can get the proper message with "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8

Yes you can, but that's not the majority. And even pressed juice, something I actually buy regularly, usually tastes so-so. It's ok. It doesn't have to be. If I walk 15 minutes, I can get to the houses of somes friens. Once a

Yes, and ice cream taste amazing. That's not the debate. With proper ingredients, you can make anything taste fantastic.

I wish, your vocabulary tells me that's not it. A tomato should not be "pretty good". It should be able to stand as the main course by taste alone. The thing is, even in farmer's market, 9 times out of 10, the tomatoes s

I'm pretty sure that no. I mean, in France, we have way better average tomatoes, and a greater culture of the farmer market. Food in general actually. Yet, I still find many people that have no idea what it's supposed to taste lik

A lot of food is like that. E.G: most people never tasted balsamic vinegar, only a mix of regular vinegar with a bit of grapes dust, plus some caramel and flour added to it. Real balsamic vinegar is hard to find and bloody expensive, becaus

Time is not homogeneous accross the universe anyway, so what would be the absolute referential ? Best we can do is pick an arbitrary one, and then create algos and tables to convert from that. We already do that with UTC, and even with some

I doubt it. If you start writting a C++ process first, you will take a lot of time. Python allow you to have a good idea of how the thing works. And if, eventually, you find out that it's not fast enough (even with pypy, numpy, a few l
