Was it Einstein who said, "Any scientist who cannot explain what they are doing to an eight year old is a charlatan"?
No. It's commonly attributed to Einstein, but of course he didn't say that, because he knew better. There are things you just can't explain at a certain level. For example Feynman couldn't explain to a layman how magnets work, but explained why not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMFPe-DwULM.
You didn't read the search results. Those are not ads, but articles mentioning the phrase, at least on the first page (20 articles).

My point is that a good algorithm, a good strategy can give you a several orders of magnitude speedup, more than the speed differences among languages. If a higher level language makes it easier and faster to develop good algorithms, then you should use that. After that, if you have time or really need it, you can re-implement it in hand-coded assembly, or even in hardware. But you generally don't have the time and don't really need it.
Or if you use clever algorithms. I don't have benchmarks at hand, but I suspect that an FFT in Python is faster than a naive Fourier transform in C.
I already linked below, I didn't want to repeat it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide
3. The number of reported suicidal attempts are actually higher for women.
Basically, what user squids wrote. For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide
Women tend to choose less effective methods, like wrist-cutting or sleeping pills, while men are more likely to choose hanging or shoot themselves.
Technically, only half of it.
He didn't say all open source is trustworthy, only that closed source is not. And Sourceforge, the repository itself is not open source.
Not even dreams. It's PR. Daddy runs an "archery academy".

No need to apologize, even if it's perfect, the first player can always win by playing the right moves.
Nor in Opera 12.
Maybe not exactly what you want, but this book has some useful information: http://cleveralgorithms.com/nature-inspired/index.html .
Check out the "Heuristics" subtitle of the algorithms. For example,
"Differential evolution was designed for nonlinear, non-differentiable continuous function optimization."
"NSGA was designed for and is suited to continuous function multiple objective optimization problem instances."
"Undefined behavior" means "undefined by the language specification", but it is well defined by the compiler implementation. In other words, you never use the C language, always an implementation.
Why only mobile platforms? This should be in desktop OS-es too.
Both methods are equally safe, what the author meant is that both are safer than a[14] = item or a[myCounter] = item.
I just made the same comment. This article may help: http://coastalcenter.org/overcoming-perfectionism/ .
In my case procrastination is/was a symptom of perfectionism. This article was an eyeopener for me: http://coastalcenter.org/overcoming-perfectionism/ .
