It's not funny, it makes sense. Imagine what would happen if you are living in zone 3+, and your friend/partner lives in zone 3+ on the _opposite_ side of London. You could easily have a 90 minute travel time between those two poi

While this may be fine for you, it sucks for people reading the coding and searching it. Reading code is already a high concentration task, having to purposely ignore blocks of non-functional code makes it harder than it has to be. Also, no

I believe the total opposite is true. If I can use a debugger you can bet I am going to prefer that over log statements. In the debugger I can see the value of any variable on the entire stack and how they change over time. If I want to log

Agreed, I can't see how the output is produced from the input, e.g https://fractal.parts/dfdfdfdfd it took several tries to even produce anything other a totally blank output.

They ignored a key detail in their benchmark. They did not include the time it took to transfer the input file from memory to the GPU, (the GPU cores can only operate on graphics memory). This is easily going to be the most time consuming p

I can't answer your question, but what will happen to the property market after sea level rise is a central part of Kim Stanley Robinson's book New York 2140. It is fascinating and I can highly recommend it.

The reason your friend suggestions were still there is because your email or phone number is in your friends contact list on their phone, and that data is shared with Facebook. This indirect information about you is called a shadow profile,

The answer is still the same. Press releases are accessible to the general public and have a wider appeal than research papers, so they appear higher in the search ranking. I'm not sure why the author of the article thinks only people

Because lettuce is filler whose main purpose seems to be to take up space on the plate. It doesn't provide an saity, and something like iceburg lettuce has very low nutritional content. It just a cop out for restaurants.

Agreed, I read a report that children learning English have to devote far more time to learning spelling than speakers of other languages, but this comes at the cost of time spent studying other subjects. I have never seen an argument again

It's not immediately obvious what the benefit is over Pitman script, which is mentioned in the article. It seems like Pitman is faster to write because the characters are simpler, and afaik Pitman had a wider adoption, I've never

I think they mean $1000/week, which makes more sense considering the character has two children. But who would get approved for a $4.3k/month mortgage on a single earner getting paid less than minimum wage?
