Hard disagree: I understand it's maybe a bit of an uphill battle to support a software stack that the OS/hardware vendor itself doesn't support, but: 1. telegram/whatsapp do, so it's definitely possible. 2. The poin

Yeah, i'm thinking of getting a oneplus 6 since it's kind of the best supported by pmOS, and I can also just install some privacy friendly android rom in the meantime.

I'm taking the VEG 1 supplements ( https://www.vegansociety.com/shop/veg-1-supplements ) as I believe they essentially cover everything I need to worry about on that front (I hope it does).

I'm confused too: my intuiton/understanding would be that: * The total energy use would be lowered. * The energy use of the neighbors would be somewhat higher.

Good to know, it might be me putting such thought in his mouth then!

Sorry, I didn't mean English more than British (the distinction being a bit too subtle for me to make). It's "par for the course" I guess for a national broadcaster, but: * That doesn't mean it's not less than

One thing I am slightly wary about after listening to quite a few episodes is Melvyn Braggs seems to be a bit too patriotic oftentimes. It's nothing really obvious, but you hear a lot of "we" when talking about positive aspe

The faq helped, thanks! So, an example of typical use would be, say, as the internal ledger for a company like (transfer)wise, with lots of money moving around between accounts? But I understand it's meant to be used internally to an e

It's hard to understand what tigerbeetle is about. Can anyone ELI5 it for me? As far as I can tell, it's some kind of a library/system geared at distributed transactions? But is it a blockchain, a db, a program ? (I did look

How tied are those two books to python? If very much, are there books covering the same content with a different programming language?

Can you expand on that last advice?

There is an episode of 'In our time' more or less discussing this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00vrx8g

In my opinion, having it baked it into a language you use allows a sort of internalization of the concept by practice/use. You don't just get the idea, but get a feel for it.

Is your claim still true when air filters are installed in the chimney?

I don't have a strong opinion on the subject, but I believe/hope it should be possible to be accessible and entertaining while still being academically "acceptable" in terms of references (which doesn't need to be o

It's a question I share, so I'm happy to see answers popping up. As for my personal experience, I've read parts of "Philosophy before the Greeks. The Pursuit of Truth in Ancient Babylonia" and "A History of the

As far as I understand, Ian Morris's books are not taken very seriously in the academic world. I've read the first part of /Why the West rules/ and must admit that it reads a bit like trying to push a narrative: spinning

what company is that?

I would guess that the difference native/foreign is simply due to the way language is learned: for native speakers, it's first and mostly orally. This doesn't explain a later appearance of mistakes though…

Are you sure your timeline is correct? Assyria as an empire is closer to -1400 to -700, with the dominant part coming after -1000. Similarly, there was no "Mesopotamian empire" in -4000 that I'm aware of: before -2000 I think

You're right! Here is some more context: * Bachelor in CS, and I kept an interest in computing/programming languages, although I don't have much to show for it. I do have some scientific julia code, but it's closer to

Thanks! Re. uncomfortable with finance: I guess it's a mostly "intuitive" ethical concern. I don't feel like finance is very much part of a society I'd like to live in or contribute to. I have heard arguments that e

Thanks! What kind of uni is that? I'm from a local "no-name" university and feel like there is quite a difference in the prospects you get, depending on your uni's "ranking".

Indeed. My PhD was in pure maths, and I'm starting to realize that having a strong practical aspect to one's thesis is really a big help in selling oneself on the other side of the fence…

(Replying to bmitc too:) Thanks! Indeed, software development seems like one of the most probable course (my bachelor was in CS, so that's not too far either) but I'd be worried to end up too deep in software development, with no
