I think the difference is that the cost of faking my family is extremely high, but the cost of spewing comments on the internet went to basically 0. I think it is pretty widely acc…

I'm just hoping that the robots dont hand wave away my arguments by making fun of them as "sophomoric".

YouTube music is awful. I hate how everything is organized. Is it even possible to search your library? I haven't figured out the actual point of adding anything to your library be…

Python is not tightly coupled to data science by any stretch of the imagination. The data science parts of the language have no impact on the other use cases. It isn't like someone…
