I think it's surely safety-critical that the car hit _some_ objects. For instance, you don't want to be going 70mph down the highway only for the car to attempt to come to a screeching halt when a paper bag or some other litter bl

Do you ever find yourself wondering why people find it so hard to do a particular thing that seems, to you, trivial - possibly to the point of frustration? Alternatively, do you sometimes get confused when people praise your work on somethi

This is an easy statement to make, but I think, empirically speaking, it just doesn't line up with reality. For payday loans, where the terms have historically been in excess of 36%, the vast majority of borrowers: 1. Pay the loan on-t

You'd probably be interested in Unison ( www.unisonweb.org ). It's a Haskell-style functional language, which aims to make the sort of distributed computing you're talking about easy. The central conceits are: 1. Functions ar

Hm - but older from what perspective? Since light travels at c, aren't all journeys light takes instantaneous from the point of the photon? My understanding as well being that all known natural processes (like beta decay) are time-dila

Do be aware that https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/contextlib.html#contextl... also exists as of 3.7 -- you can do ctx_mgr = foo() if bar else nullcontext() with ctx_mgr: ... if you like.

I always thought it was a shame that `nested`[0] (the stdlib equivalent to your `multi` above) was deprecated in 2.7 and, ultimately, removed in favor of `ExitStack` -- despite its flaws, I think it was more beginner-friendly. [0]: https:&

I've always found the bipartite graph conceptualization of matrix multiplication the most intuitive, and especially so if you're familiar with neural networks: https://www.math3ma.com/blog/matrices-probability

That's a little misleading. An individual child will not be able to fluently acquire language if not exposed during the so-called "critical period"; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child for plen

Surely the actual problem here is that the responsibility for reliable identification somehow falls on the consumer, not the bank or what have you? I'll give an example: if I get a phishing email claiming to be from my bank, and end up

Note that this doesn't actually encompass all the possible usages of the PEP-572 operator in the standard library, of which there appear to be 312 more candidates (and a further 100 in the rest of CPython): root@8d88e1e678b0:/

One consideration is that much of Bletchley Park's efforts were kept hidden from the public until 1974[1] - it's possible that in 1979 the computer's role in breaking German cyphers was still not widespread knowledge. [1] ht

Yes, these are all possible explanations, but the specific symptoms observed - development of spots and smaller cranial capacity - are well documented as common effects of human domestication across a broad range of mammalian species. That
