That is a really good comparison, thank you for this article! I have somehow never heard about pythran before. Interesting to see the comparison to Julia as well. Did you have a look at JAX? It would be interesting to see how well it would

TSMC is a better defense than owning nuclear weapons. But also way more expensive to develop (so not really a good option for North Korea or Iran...). But for Taiwan it is vital to keep the smallest proccess on their land.

The user of the quiz can skip a question, answer it normally or "like" it with a heart-symbol. Then it is counted twice. The DeinWal-Team (Martin, Sophie and I) decided the selection, wording and ordering of the questions. We trie

Adding references to relevant sections of the party programs is an interesting idea (especially with your example) to display the discrepancies that sometimes arise between votes and programs. But that would be a lot of work on top and one

Yes, an interesting concept. But I guess it won't see a wide adoption: Who wants to learn a new language, if you can't use it for anything but X? And who will use this language for X, if you haven't been able to learn it whil

Obviously they try to prevent the formation of a worker's council as much as possible. If they did anything more, managers would face jail, as it is punished quite hard to prevent the formation of a worker's council in Germany.
