Correction: against Hillary anyone on the “other” side. Repubs can do whatever they want and their base will still support them, bc they are portrayed as “better” than the other side.
Same for Dems too. Even so, despite how they both lie, they are nowhere close to being the same. But they are similar.
The devolution into a 2-party system is absolutely deadly to a democracy.
Truly the “good” place indeed.
Wait, no, trio is glad inside. Test this got plus on? Aaaaaaaa!
You… you shut up! Excuse me, I have to go take a shower:-) (/s, edit: to be clear on both sentences here)
Anyway you’re right (no /s) - at one point it filled in a gap between the likes of C++ and Assembly on the one hand and shell scripting (bash, awk, grep, sed, each with its own syntax and very little of that shared in common with one another) and I guess Fortran on the other. I still prefer it enormously to everything else - it’s quirky but fun:-) - though I get why a less experienced person should choose Python and stick with it, even as we all wish that there was another alternative that would work better than either.
And since I can’t resist: Perl is 8-20x faster than Python, and major websites like DuckDuckGo and booking.com use it. Sigh…I guess it’s time for that shower now:-).
Perl is… forgotten entirely, despite its efforts in getting us from there to here.
Yup, checks out.
PHP also, but good riddance:-D.
Shell scripting is the ink that makes up these words - without them, you would never have seen this image.
Hi I’m auto-“corrector”. There, ftfy. :-P
But… it didn’t need “fixing”? Oh…
I’m guessing it says “either I’m being forced to use this language or it’s the only related one I know how to use, but only halfway”:-)
People keep saying Python, despite how it (1) sucks, and (2) is super annoying to keep up to date, with package management and the like, unlike Perl that is more stable. Though Python is also easy to use and powerful and extensible.
But I think each language type is what it is and has its own set of tradeoffs and balances. Unix is hyper-stable and secure but limited, Perl is powerful but requires discipline to use to full effect, and these days most people don’t bother to learn it. Python is… “common”, is perhaps the best way to put it:-). C/C++ is even more powerful, the latter bloated, and blamed for most memory management issues (although really, how much of that is merely bad programming practice? Okay, so it allows such though).
And now Rust is the new hot thing.:-)
See, before they started using Jira, they were happy, get it?! :-P
Is it… (scrolls wheel of browsers) Lynx?
Having to work within such constraints, it really showed me difficulties that modern languages try to entirely abstract away from you. e.g. there are only so many “registers” that physically exist, before you have to start using much slower to access memory locations - a very far cry indeed from automated variable garbage collection!!
Try assembly then - it’ll freaking blow your mind!:-)
S-s-s
S-s-s
S-s-s
S-s-s-sure!
Sooo… switch to Perl then? 😜
For… oh FOOD, yeah, FOOD, okay I get you. (Are you sure it isn’t “souls of the innocent”? Okay then, just checking!:-P)
Wonderful! I upvoted that one too, for visibility!:-)
And soon memory issues as well.
I got 99 problems but Meta’s Threads ain’t one of those.
In the web UI, it is the button that looks like two rectangles (copying one of them I suppose), between the star icon (favorite) and the three vertical eclipses (moar stuff), second from the right.
But if you use an app, ymmv.
I hope you can cross-post bc this way breaks several things - clicking it takes you away from your instance, it shows up as a duplicate post, etc. - but anyway thank you for sharing this cool thing you saw on the internet (I didn’t see the original so I may have missed it if you hadn’t)!:-)
If you see something, share something 😁.
That’s why I worry, not (just) about who will win the next election, but how we are going to survive the next one with project 2029.
When you’ve started playing Russian Roulette indefinitely, you’ve already lost.
On the bright side, Trump won’t last long enough to see that.
