Sites Unseen: What’s Revealed by Traveling With the Blind

Andy Isaacson is a writer and photographer. His work for The Times has taken him to every corner of the world, and he has transmitted what he’s experienced through his images.

But recently, Isaacson took a trip unlike any he’d taken before. Not because of where he traveled, but because of how he traveled.

Paired with a set of unlikely travel companions, he put down his camera and experienced the word through touch, smell and sound.

On today’s episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Isaacson talks with Host Michael Barbaro about a trip that forever changed the way he travels.

But many early developers question why people are starting to choose Python over C++, when the latter is much faster. According to the 2022 Developer Survey by Stack Overflow, beginners learning to code are more likely to choose Python over C++ than professionals. Though both the groups choose Python, the number is nearly double for professionals who choose Python over C++. One of the main reasons is that Python is easier to write and has a clearer syntax when compared to C++.
