And, if you believe the current hype, that day could come in the next couple of decades. NASA has every intention of sending a crewed mission to the red planet sometime in the 2030s.

• Python sucks in terms of energy efficiency — literally

  24-11-2021 14:29
  
  Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Dutch software company’s programming language index for 2021 also indicates that.

  24-11-2021 09:20
  
  The last few decades have seen the mainstreaming of a very particular kind of crime — vehicle ramming.  According to the US Department of Homeland Security, this is when a perpetrator deliberately aims a motor vehicle at a target with the intent to inflict fatal injuries or cause significant property damage by striking with concussive force.
