You don't need a virtual environment to get started. It is very easy to get python running. 1) Run the windows installer 2) python3 3) print('Hello World') Show me a language that is easier to get to hello world.

Have you got a reference for "NMN didn't pan out in the end?" I thought it Worked really well in mice and early human trials didn't find nasty side effects. It's too early to tell if it increases lifespan in humans

I once got great feedback by asking verbally at the end of the interview. I said "You've just interviewed me, what do you think I need to improve?" That way it's really easy for the interviewer to give the feedback and y

I've switched for higher salary 3 times. First two job switches were great #3 was an absolute disaster. Now I'm definitely more cautious about switching jobs.

I think you're letting perfect be the enemy of good, which is how the OP got into this mess. Obviously it's best to meet when the woman is 28 and the man is 32. Then have kids when she is 31-35. The OP didn't do this and is n

I think there are three levels of understanding this topic: 1) Repeat yourself everywhere because you're a noob and don't know how to DRY 2) DRY everything because it's easier to maintain, learn all sorts of clever tricks to

That's very clever, but the OP's point is that you shouldn't try to be clever. Your life will be easier if the code is simple. When I read the initial example I can understand it in the time taken to read the code. With your

You asked for a hack: Our culture is messing up your perception of the pool of available men. 500 years ago your possible mating pool was about 50 people, and the most attractive man you'd ever seen lived in your village, and you knew

You're right, but the bigger picture is that the OP is about to seriously consider using a sperm donor. A 60 year old man with good genes who will provide 10 years of active parenting and an inheritance for the kid is a lot better than

I think you're underestimating what healthy 60 year olds can do. Physical fitness is only required for kids under about 6. After that it's just a nice to have. A good friend of mine had a 60 year old dad and 30 something mum. By a

Why is 50 a cutoff? There are lots of smart successful guys in their late 50s, early 60s who realise that their time to have a family is almost over.

I've used similar stuff and it works well. It's best for when most of the wood is fine and just a little bit is rotten. The hardener goes in further than you would expect.

Diesel goes off fairly slowly. One year old diesel can be put into any modern car. Two year old diesel can be mixed 50/50 with fresh diesel and put into a modern car 10+ year old diesel can go into a tractor or an old (pre 2005) diesel

Remember that you want to fail fast. The worst thing is to gestate and think about an idea for months/years. Just get it in front of people and try to sell it. If some companies decide to implement the idea in house that's OK. The

What kind of company are you trying to found? For this answer I'll assume you're a software developer starting a B2B SAAS. #1 Product market fit. Skills wise this means you need to talk to customers and understand their problems.

That swimming video is pretty short. Kicking a few times is all that you need. The energy comes from stores in the cells and when those stores are depeleated the cell will replenish the stores by digesting itself.

I didn't see that part. If it works with a foil fish then it is possible to have net forward thrust only by extracting the energy from the flow of the water.

Sometimes if each repeated bit of code is slightly different the common method ends up being really complicated. I would rather make 6 simple changes than do one really complicated change. The other problem with a DRY method is that you oft

The worst case with credit cards is not lost money. It's identity theft. Give your credit card info to the wrong person and you'll end up dealing with tens of thousands of pounds of loans taken out in your name.

Currencies rarely collapse instantly. You've usually got months to years of warning. Lots of time for people to get their cash out. If you were Lebanese I would argue that having a bank account was a silly thing to do. Foreign bank acc
