At least in F1, I would say that the variance in constructor performance matters more than variance in driver performance. There are plenty of instances of drivers doing test runs with other teams and achieving competitive times.

There are racing series outside of Formula 1 that provide drivers with the same [1][2] hardware and aim to test their piloting skills, and there are yet other series where different cars are given handicaps to maintain a "balance of performance" between them. You may already watch a lot of motorsport, but for anyone who is interested to learn more: some spec series include IndyCar, F2, Super Formula, and Formula E.

[1] modulo some natural variance, leading to situations where a wealthy go-karting competitor can buy a dozen of the same go-kart and pick the engine with the most horsepower

[2] modulo differences in finding the setup of the vehicle, which can be done more effectively if you have the best engineering team or otherwise throw the most time and money at it

As I understand it, it's not part of the SQL standard.

I read the author's statement that they were "not out here wearing long nails for fun" to mean that they were not the one liking or invested in long nails. I may be reading too deeply between the lines, but I believe that reading the critical comments left by the "Internet Nail Police" may be more energy-consuming than the alternative of conforming to beauty standards. I felt a tone of sarcasm from the offense taken at "god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under [their] natural nail," which I took to mean that these comments are nitpicky and extremely likely to occur. Though it may be easy to brush off some amount of social scorn, being a public figure on the Internet comes with a volume of it that I've heard many influencers and content creators describe as difficult to cope with no matter how strong I assumed them to be.

I'm not sure what you mean by people creating problems for themselves out of a thin air. The article explains the constraints (speed, accuracy, comfort, avoiding online criticism, attractiveness, etc) that the author lives with. Did you intend to point at a more general situation that you've encountered?

I too cannot fathom what goes on in many people's heads and do not claim to truly understand them, but so far it's not been because they've created problems for themselves out of thin air and insisted on keeping these problems as pets.

You might still have issues with generating sequences like "XtrmlyBdWrd" that are still recognizable.

I think the post mentioned that the 718 grams of dry goods lasts a whole week. That would cost about 38¢ per pound, and they are bulk-ordered from the local food cooperative.

I just skimmed through your repo, and I loved the way that you used AoC as an opportunity to share many of the batteries that are included in the Python stdlib. In one particular case, I wanted to also share some more fun corners of the collections module / common algorithms and sent you a pull request.

I found this and thought it would be interesting for others to read.

Title seems to have been changed to meet the following rule:

> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

However, I believe the "24" in "24 Hours of Rust Game Development" is pretty crucial.
