This is only true for steam keys sold on other platforms afaik

Homeowners aren't signing contracts where they agree to use exactly 450MW of power at a constant rate 24/7 for the entire year. The problem with "Free market" utilities is that they are reliant on private sector contracts like this to fund expansion

From a business perspective, if the grid can handle the residential load 99.9% of the year, paying these businesses to cut usage during that other 0.1% of the time is a LOT cheaper than expanding their service to add one more decimal place of uptime that sits idle for the entire year

Cloud platforms like AWS/Google/Azure do something similar, where you can rent unused servers for pennies on the dollar with the expectation they can be reprovisioned by someone else on a seconds notice

Nothing more beautiful than seeing transparent yellow-orange overlaid on top of transparent orange-yellow

Top to bottom, then left to right.

What (widely popular) race could possibly be a better metric of endurance than the marathon?

It's not uncommon to see certain sites to only work on chromium because the dev used the filesystem APIs that don't exist on FF

Yes but if it's first instinct is "go left" on 1-2, it's pretty apparent the reward function could use some tuning

It's not necessary but there is no reason not to.

Pros:

• production and development programs are more similar
• upgrading your base image won't affect your python packages
• you can use multi stage builds to create drastically smaller final images

Cons:

• you have to type venv/bin/python3 instead of just python3 in the run line of your dockerfile

When you teach a child what a dinosaur is, you have to do a lot more explaining than when you try and teach an adult what a dinosaur is in french - the child isn't just learning a language for those 10 years.

COVID has long lasting effects across your entire body, it impacts your immune and cardiovascular systems for years after you get it.

Risks of heart attack, stroke, etc are increased 2.5x in the year after infection, increasing exponentially with the number of times you have been infected. In fact, the risk of pretty much ANY health problem skyrockets following a COVID infection.

So I would say that if you’re explicitly trying to use Python, a Pi is the way to go.

I will point out you can run micropython on a lot of embedded boards now. I haven't used it, so I don't know if it's actually good or if it's more like those software-gore "here is my python package for building web front ends that is somehow worse than JS" packages you always see on python boards
