Almost like applying IP laws to stuff that literally self-replicates is an idiotic idea. Not that IP laws are much better in general.

Not even the privacy of fish is safe.
But just to nitpick, wouldn’t this parse into “Forth ❤️ I”? Which is to say, aren’t the operands in the wrong order?


Pausing the water drives up water waste?


internationally?
Absolutely.
German examples:
The problem is that law enforcement tends to attract people who enjoy the “enforcement” part a little too much.


Nothing beats old fashioned physical violence.


All cops!
Not necessarily with us in it, but it’s gonna be OK.
Feel the Forth you must.
But given that Yoda seems to prefer Polish notation, he might be more of a Lisp guy.


Where the wind blows 🤷


You mean it might count as gender-affirming care?


I imagine anything that evolved naturally to not have a huge impact because being able to suggest various plastics doesn’t confer enough of an evolutionary advantage to invest in it.
However we’re already searching for and breeding for much more efficient organisms to be used in bio reactors for recycling purposes[1].
So of a particular effective variant, whatever the origin, were to be able to break down plastic before it’s discarded things could get interesting. Thinking of pipes, bags, package linings, clothes, etc. It’s a lengthy list.

Oh, absolutely! That’s only a question of when IMO. Based on a rudimentary understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms at play here.


Assuming this is a genuine question and not just trolling.
Python’s main feature, IMO, is that it’s easy to pick up. You don’t need to remember to put a semicolon after nearly every line, so you don’t need to remember which lines don’t need it. Basically you only need to remember to put a colon before an indented block.
Thanks to significant whitespace even bad code will be moderately legible.
Control flow and loops are basically written in plain English: for i in range(17): as opposed to e.g. for (int i=0; i<17; i++) {.
This all reduces the mental load and thus leaves you with more capacity to focus on the task you’re trying to solve.
It’s a great language to give to your mathematicians, data scientists and other people with rudimentary programming knowledge at best.
As for the performance: interpreted languages are inherently slower than compiled ones. You don’t get a speed boost from first asking a separate program to translate the next line of code into a machine readable format before executing it. Just like you don’t get a speed boost from executing all your code in a virtual machine. Looking at you, Java.
But you don’t use python for the compute-heavy tasks. You use it for the plumbing in between and outsource the computation to a native library with python bindings, like NumPy, Pandas, PyTorch, etc. Horses for courses.


Overall, it seems conventional farming methods are better for the soil than no-till practices. But that’s only if farmers plough the soil without relying on herbicides and other harmful chemicals.
Current evidence suggests these chemicals are damaging, both for the soil and our health. So we need new ways of producing food without chemicals. “No-kill cropping” – which involves sowing seed directly into dry soils without any artificial chemicals – may be one option.
But we urgently need more research to know if such alternative ways of farming will actually improve the health of our soils, communities and agriculture sector.
Worst day so far.

You think I’m overreacting?
Davide Beatrici, known for his work on the instant messaging app Mumble, joined our distribution some time ago. […] In protest, two people left the distribution, including Davide, a friend of the attacker. […] This infuriated Davide so much that, abusing of the administrative privileges he still had, he sabotaged the distribution today in the early morning hours.
Not a good look IMO.
Anything but moving on to IPv6 🙄
