One of the main reasons people choose Python is the huge stdlib and vast package ecosystem. This is difficult to ignore if you need to do some very heavy lifting.

Housing benefits need adjustment so a larger share goes toward people who need it more, but overall home ownership encourages people to raise families and build communities, which acts as a compounding benefit to society. i.e. subsidizing r

Not only that, but developers have at least as much incentive to push to avoid cross platform implementations. More work, more complexity, bugs, maintenance, etc., and many (most?) do all of their dev and testing on Chrome anyway. Web monoc

That's a complicated question to answer! The short answer is that literally every variable involved in brewing affects taste - brew time, water mineralization, water temp, grind, brewer, bean origin, processing method, roast temp. Espr

They're completely different brewing methods. Pour over is "slow," gravity based, and uses a medium to course grind (depending on brewing method), while espresso is "fast," uses a pump to pressurize the flow of wate

(I have to admit I was maybe a little too annoyed at Stoller's devotion to repeating essentially: "DID YOU KNOW THAT FREE SHIPPING ISN'T REALLY FREE GUYS??? But maybe everyone else didn't find it as patronizing.)

The impact of Amazon's market distorting power is somewhat overstated here, as the 30-45% includes FBA. Walmart has a comparable service, WFS, which looks competitive, but it's not always cheaper and can cost more than FBA ( htt

The comparison to Photos in TFA is apt. Apple could copy the most relevant subset of features, in particular the Years/Months/Days/All navigation views, and it would dramatically improve the utility of iMessage for old messag

XML Schema isn't only for validating XML post-hoc, as you suggest. The point is that if you are using XML, it doesn't make sense to invent arbitrary solutions when there is already first class support in standardized toolchains. C

You don’t state your reasons for this very bad XML, but your comment suggests to the uninformed that XML doesn’t support Boolean types, which isn’t the case. https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#built-in-primitive-da

Sure. There are a handful of cameras that support a feature called HomeKit Secure Video (HSV). If you buy an HSV camera and you have an AppleTV, you can configure the camera to detect people, pets, and vehicles, set activity zones, and some

Depends on how you're leveraging their ecosystem. If you have HomeKit cameras, your Apple TV might also be running 24/7 realtime object detection for 5 simultaneous 1080p video streams. And your ROI is way off. The new auto-calibr

It's unclear if what they announced includes support for the AirPod-type spatial audio or if it only means they are extending Spatial Audio branding to include the virtual surround feature of the new iMac's speaker array.

Given the very obvious context of TFA, I don't see how this is relevant. Yes, what makes something a "charity" may be confusing and difficult to define. (AFAIK Google simply has a list of organizations they think are charitie

This is tantamount to suggesting that language should always make sense regardless of context, which is absurd. Homonyms could not even exist!

Just to reiterate the other commenter who was inexplicably downvoted, donations are for charities, tips are profit. It seems completely reasonable to waive app store commissions for a charity, but not something that's for profit.

I don't doubt Wes' upper bound for Pandas OOTB, without optimization. The context was web applications. If you're seeing 10x on a web app, either something is wrong or you probably shouldn't be using Pandas.

Pandas is not some mysterious black box. If you need predictable runtime performance or bounded memory usage, you have to figure it out. Pandas doesn't inherently have a staggering or unpredictable amount of overhead, given that it&#x2
