I'm sort of the inverse of this author: I have always liked Python and disliked Ruby. It's true though that python has changed a lot , and it's a mixed bag IMHO. I think every language feature python has added can have a rea

As far as I know, the science on this is far from settled. There is no consensus and the evidence in favor of a trophic cascade in Yellowstone came predominantly from two studies done by the same team/person. Later studies failed to re

This is generally unknown, of course. However it currently appears that the expansion of the universe is accelerating , i.e. it is expanding faster and faster. Obviously it can't be ruled at that at some point this would stop and&#x2F

A key (hah!) property of key derivation functions is that they allow you to customize the key that you get out, mainly because you may need a specific length (e.g. 512 bits) for whatever encryption algorithm you're using. bcrypt lacks

The proof is not really formal, but you could view the shown system as a minimal subset of an arbitrarily shaped large system. For the system to be distributed it must have at least two nodes, and to be available all nodes must respond to r

They are not. The proposal text itself doesn't mention taxing "the 1% richest" or any threshold at all really. It's quite vague on the specifics: > Firstly, we call on the European Commission to draft a proposal for a

Overall this looks nice, but I found myself stumbling over the ToSpan syntax: let span = 5.days().hours(8).minutes(1); It feels sort of weird how the first number appears in front, and then all the other ones are function arguments

Simply renting out products is not necessarily the same as rent-seeking. Rent-seeking is the extraction of uncompensated value from others without increasing productivity. The classic example is putting up a chain across a river and charg

Dating apps have fundamentally misaligned incentives with their customers: customer success implies that the customer will stop paying. For this reason no dating app that charges for access will ever be a good way to find a relationship (no

Possibly, but you have to keep doing it. kicking up dust into the atmosphere tends to have significant short-term impact on the global climate (see e.g. volcanic winters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter ).
