You can find a telephone number of someone named Temperini who is living in Montalcino, by doing a quick search in the Italian telephone book. Surely it wouldn't break any laws just calling there?

So I do live in Germany, where due to recent history, people are a tad more concerned with privacy than the residents of other countries. My statement was about observations in Germany: there was a doxxing/data leak of politicians data

I strongly disagree with this somewhat defeatist view. Every privacy violation can and should be fought vigorously. It's not set in stone that we will ourselves in total surveillance in a few years time. > People will ultimately wan

The idea of collecting lots of audiovisual data all over a city without a clear plan of what to do with it seems mad, outright dystopian to me. The article describe how the city suddenly has much more data than what they needed or wanted an

It used to say "Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety" until the recent redesign. It also showed a code example, so you couldn't really miss the fact

I'm curious, what kind of platforms do you have in mind, that a) can be targeted by C, but not by Rust b) provide enough performance to make porting a next-gen video decoder a worthwhile exercise?

Fun analysis! It's great that you visualize both mean and std deviation. Having them in two graphs side-by-side makes it a bit hard to read though, as you have to go back and forth. Using for example a box-plot ( https://pand

Potentially it was bad writers, yes. But this data does not prove this; it just shows that some writers tenure correspond with worse episodes. But so does for example the year, or potentially many other influencing factors.

Later episodes are rated lower, thus writers who mainly wrote later episodes have contributed to episodes with lower rating. This seems like circular reasoning, and doesn't say anything about an individual writers' contribution to

When you use iPython you can just drop into the context of the error with %debug after it occurred, and then print the line there. No need for the bleeding scope on the language level.
