Two reasons seem obvious. F-strings are relatively new -- the code is maturing and the edge cases are being filled in. Second, everyone can't be working on the GIL and start-up times. There is a tipping point at a relatively low hea

Perhaps not a popular opinion, but the overwhelming majority of "gifted" kids seem to be near the middle of the bell curve with parents that are convinced little George is the next Einstein. It is kind of fascinating since it does

I liked the first trilogy of mistborn but lost interest in the sequels. There were parts of the first trilogy that .. well, were better than others. I think the Stormlight archive is Sanderson at his fantasy best. Characters driving plot
