It doesn't mutate l exactly, it makes a new list slightly different from the original one and assigns it to l. That means if someone has a reference to the original l, they do not see the change (because l is immutable. Both of them).

They don't mean that the stars migrate out (then further stars would be older), they mean that stars further away from the center start forming later (so further stars are younger). I agree that the phrasing can be confusing.

One metric of "user friendliness" for websites (but also apps) is how much of the screen serves the user, and how much is adversarial. For example, if the google results page is 1/4 ads and 3/4 genuine results, the score

The description says it's private, but the legalese it makes you agree to makes no promise. Rather, the opposite: > We collect information about your activity in our services Source: https://policies.google.com/priva

> The only reason a politician would come up with a complex carbon scheme like that is if they knew a tax would be unpopular with the public. And the way the events unfolded show that indeed, a tax would be unpopular with the public.

But was the touchpad disabled at the time? Phantom touches could happen even if your hand is not near the touchpad.

I wonder whether this could be a touchpad malfunction, causing phantom clicks that move focus. To diagnose, you could temporarily disable it and use an external mouse.

That was very much a thing. Sign a contract, company puts solar on your roof, owns that electricity, and you pay a predetermined price for the next 20 years or so and then the panels are yours. Except some were a scam, and now the well is p

That is a great description of current AI, actually. Love it. Some people are amazed the dog can write poetry. Some people complain that the poetry isn't good enough.
