I don't see how your example is 'funny'. That's what you expect to get. -5² is -25. (-5)² = 25.

(This doesn't consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn't attribute this picture, I'll edit my comment.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

Maybe if they actually made them better compared to the then competition, this could've turned out differently; mind you, it would still be as bad, because Microsoft, but hey, different nonetheless.

And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.

pigs in plural, yes. How many streaming services are there now? I lost track a couple of years ago.

Just to propose a different point of view, color vision in humans is caused by the response of cone cells, of which we have three types: L, M and S. Now interestingly, according to Wikipedia:

The first responds the most to light of the longer red wavelengths, peaking at about 560 nm. The second most common type responds the most to light of yellow to green medium-wavelength, peaking at 530 nm.

Meaning that our "red" cones respond better to yellow light than our "green" cones.

I've never thought about it this way before. This must be why some places refuse to invest in public transport. Just imagine the consequences if they didn't even need to fix their cars at all

Exactly why I hope it will flop and they decide it's not worth the money. It's disgusting how tech companies take something free and try to monetize it by hiding it under a veneer of "accessibility" and "integration". One can only hope that information regarding FOSS will remain easily accessible and that the group this update is targeting is insignificant enough. I doubt any serious data scientist would opt to Excel + Python over just Python for big enough data sets, and the average Excel user, let's face it, is unlikely to learn Python.

And honestly, for data you should be using formats like .csv anyways. i really don't see who this update is supposed to target. If you're using Python, the data must be large enough to warrant its use.

I truly wonder why. I mean, others just package a python installation, but Microsoft wants to use the cloud. Very peculiar.

Just consider that by using Ubuntu inside Windows, they're trying to make you not install Linux on hardware itself.

Yeah, Roscosmos was a pretty normal space agency, ESA even had collaborations with them (ExoMars comes to mind). It's Putin's political decisions that have all but ended Roscosmos. I can't see them recovering from this, at least not in the near future.

Forget the moon, the USSR put probes on Venus (the Venera missions).

Thank you kindly, I'll check them out as soon as I can!

I wonder what the numbers are for the rest of the world. it seems to me that Androids are much more popular at the far reaches of the EU e.g.

According to the article, this seems to be a Wolf-Rayet star though, decidedly not main sequence.

But your point remains, it is a massive outlier.
