You're asking a nonsense question. If humans didn't exist, the concept of worth wouldn't exist either, other than in the context I described in my first paragraph.

Does anyone actually have normal users run Python programs? I thought programming was intended so that users could run your programs. But if a regular non-programming user wants to use a Python program, they need a whole tutorial on how t

Well semantic web search is less about traditional web search and more about semantic relationships between terms using ontologies. If you search for "pipe A500", the search engine would deconstruct that. It would see pipes have s

Know how companies love to create "microservices" that all share the same database? I think the same reason for that is why people like shoving more stuff into systemd. It might be a bad design but it's convenient. It's
