    I’m confused as to what you are suggesting here? Normally you swim right side of the lane and turn going back on the “left side”, with room to pass on the inside unless the lane is…

    I’m from Europe and would similarly call bs. Literally everyone I know can afford a one week vacation. And that includes a couple on social services one friend who’s on long term s…

    Because newer copies don’t include the nostalgia that’s one of the primary drivers for people’s admiration.

    They exist and they are very annoying compared to regular old 50m lanes. You end up having to constantly overcompensate to one side (obviously) but also you suddenly have to either…

    Do experts take into account previous performance and overcompensate current score to ensure previous top players are pushed out the top 10? Data seems to suggest this, which is go…

    There’s nothing cryptographic about this. It’s a central authority that either says “yes it’s real” or not. The system revolves around trust in that central authority. Everyone can…

    Salary is a market value. Your arguments read like “if a BigMac costs half a Dollar in a developing country then the BigMac is inherently worth half a dollar and should cost the sa…

    Seems that bootstrapping and outlier detection is the way to go independent of what language of “editor”(Eg notebook use) you are using. The really cool thing here is that they par…

    If you buy a subscription you have that subscription until you cancel it. It wasn’t “renewed”, they just charged you the yearly cost. Imagine if your gym membership was forced to a…

    Shaving 20minutes off of a trip that takes more than an hour is not comparable to going from horses to cars. Current routes and travel times are perfectly fine when you ask the con…

    They could... but then they wouldn’t return the interpolated string, and they’d be just like using format, just saving the characters “.format” which ruins the exact thing people l…

    > I’m guessing because pharmas want to milk their golden cow It’s a wired definition of milking a product to lower your take home year after year. The PBMs have rebates close to 70…

    It really boggles my mind that every article on insulin goes through this cycle: “the producers are scammers it the same product put out a hundred years ago but they have new paten…

    Changing the release profile of a drug from once daily to once weekly isn’t a minor thing, and no one is forcing customers to pick the once weekly over the once daily. Now with res…

    Do you have references for that claim? If a company goes out with a claim their old product is unsafe it’s not like it’s rocket science to test the claim. And if their lying and yo…

    There isn’t a monopoly. It doesn’t take decades to get a generic on the market. Insulin is available in wallmart for 25$ per vial. There is a definite problem in the US with drug p…

    Which is odd because tons of applications in the wild already have this amazing capability of directly consuming python and Haskell without first converting to yaml. But of cause y…

    Most guitar players are shit. That doesn’t mean that concerts are a scam. As I wrote it depends on the talent. And advertisement through established influencers with a real followi…

    This isn’t an alternative to yaml. It’s a yaml generator. To me it’s not competing with yaml it’s competing with python or Haskell, and i’d argue that putting yet another language …

    Actually it’s the other way around. “If you let me, I’ll play at your bar for free beer”. The influencers are selling advertisement for cheap. And it’s the same deal as with musici…

    > As for why, 0 is false, nonzero is true It’s not that clear cut. If you assign d[True] and then d[1] you overwrite because True hashes to 1, not because 1 is a truthy value. If y…
