I'm looking for a language with the performance of C++ and the ease of Python, and I've been constantly told that Rust fits that spec. I'll look into Zig, but I'm hesitant about using languages that nobody has ever heard

An aphorism has been in my memory for a long time, that goes like this: It's better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

By all means, feel free to fact check our textbooks, news broadcasts, and statements from official sources. But when I log on to social media to rant about how UFOs are time-traveling humans, I don't want a teal-colored, official-looki

There is a semantic issue here that's bothering me: the word "Fact" is a contronym. I was taught in elementary school that facts don't need to be true to be a "fact". Nearly 3 decades ago, I was told that &quot

The difference is that we know for a fact that the proper implementation works for integers up to 2^31, whereas the improper implementation deceived us into thinking that the code would work in situations where the code actually doesn&#x27

I'm not going to try to predict the shape of a protein from a chain of amino acids. I'm not going to try to predict the behavior of a human cell from Schrodinger's equation. My project's scope is more along the lines of:

At this time, I mean every hormone and protein flowing in the bloodstream, along with the state of every single cell. Essentially, enough detail to get a list of symptoms and bodily sensations, and predict the outcome of any potential blood

Interesting information... it prompted me to do more research. According to wikipedia, Vitamin B-9 is broken down by our bodies into a family of compounds called "THF", which: 1. Help synthesize DNA, 2. Help repair/modify DNA

N95 filters are rated based on how many 0.3-micron particles they can block. They are rated for that particle size because that particle size is the hardest particle size to block and therefore serves as a proper test of the filter's e

HEPA filters block particles smaller than it's rated size, and they block those particles more easily than larger particles because of Brownian motion and the physics of electrostatically capturing particles.

My questions with this line of research are always: 1) How do you deal with the toxic ozone gas that's produced, and 2) How do you prevent eye damage from happening when you look at the device?

On the other hand, TV, radio, the printing press, and rock-and-roll music have all been called a "monumental change", "unlike anything before it", in the past. An "unprecedented new thing" comes around every ge

Last time I checked, the top 3 countries in terms of vaccination rates are also the top 3 countries in terms of number of active covid cases. Israel is #1 in vaccination rates and #1 in daily cases.

Military funding of Bin Laden isn't that far-fetched, and it may have possibly been true in the past[0], but 9/11 truthers believe that the World Trade Center was taken down by missiles and controlled demolition, and that people w
