The book "Program = Proof" by Samuel Mimram starts with a formula which is true for all n below

n = 15 341 178 777 673 149 429 167 740 440 969 249 338 310 889

I wonder when my manager "prompts" me "I want the feature X and I want it fast", is his prompt a human creativity?

I've seen Mallorca from the Tibidabo mountain in Barcelona (the website states it is 194km). It required number of attempts for perfect atmosphere.

This is an independent observation from the Fabra Observatory: https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2015/03/03/inenglish/14253...

It seems you haven't been to Moscow for the last 20 years. With all the oil money + cheap workforce it looks much better than EU capitals.
