The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.

Although just for fun:

Then Python is not a scripting language.

That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.

Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?

There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

• Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.

• Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.

Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”

It’s kind of difficult to relax and enjoy something when it is a seagull going IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII for 10min straight without a single pause, just outside your bedroom window, at 5am.

Classic joke, but what I find interesting is that the people who say it with conviction. Tend to be the kind of people who are into knights, swords and things like that. And they’re so invested in not being wrong, that they literally don’t consider the whole “forging metal with coal” aspect.

Around about there yeah, they can get up about 15kg but most are smaller. There are videos of people grabbing them by the neck and putting them back in the water.

But people love to overplay geese and swans as these powerful beasts because of how aggressive and loud they are, and that they can cause bleeding and such with their beak. Some even throw around the idea that they can break your arm. Meanwhile their bones are much smaller and honeycombed. They’re about the strength of a really stale breadstick.

From what I remember he seem to mostly use it to change parameters and intiate things with voice commands. At least in the movies.

Post-rock, shoegazing and the similar genres tend to be pretty chill. But there also tends to be a noticable amount of mind altering substances and dirty bathrooms.

I always find it funny how people act as if there is literally no reason in existence to keep using windows.

It literally just shows us your ignorance and insulation from the real world.

Based on a quick search you could go for one of the stricter non-felony crimes and try to get a short stay. But I’m guessing you would have more sucess asking for asylum based on the border issues in the US these days.

Although there were references to a court statement from a few decades ago, about a not extraditing someone to a US prison because it might be a human rights violation. Which could potentially be brought up again these days with the current situation.

They spent a lot of money developing it, and now they have to justify that money. So they’re going to keep pushing it until some idiotic manager doesn’t have red numbers in their spreadsheet. Regardless of what people want.

I hate modern MBAs.

Most of the adults did tell me to do better, but they also kept repeating that I had it better than they did. Which was partially true at the time depending on who said it, but they still messed things up and blame me for not fixing their mistakes.

And what does that story have to do with generational pressure?

Whether out in public or in private is better, depends on context.

Although it’s probably a bit beyond social media debate. When it comes down to “seeing a strangers body floating in the river” , “finding your sibling hanging in the next room” or “found at a kindergarten playground”.

We know, we learned the details about WW2. Our grandparents and great grandparents actually lived through that, and told us the stories.

All the adults told us it would be better for us than for them. While they fucked everything up and then blame us.

It started as showing off how new something was, and sometimes brand and/or price. And it turned into a fashion statement. Caps are probably the most famous for leaning into the trend and having giant gold and silver stickers covering the top of the visor.

You posted a youtube short link on lemmy? Yeah, that’s not going to go over well.

There’s a lot of tech literate people here, and from my experience many of them dislike short-form video content with sound. Especially when its from Alphabet, Meta, etc.

They sabotaged themselves years ago by squashing popular votes with an algorithm, so a large amount of people don’t realize the size of the site.

You can go look at recent popular tweets and see 200k reactions, meanwhile the top posts on reddit show 10-30k votes, despite having 2-50 times as many behind the scenes.

Try watching some traditional TV news that boomers and older watch, and you’ll quickly realize that it’s propaganda(doesn’t even have to be a right leaning channel). Many of them are completely unaware of what is actually happening. Whenever there’s a story about a school being bombed and children dying, the only thing they hear is terrorism this, terrorist that.

One of my neighbors in her sixties was shocked and acted like a serious crime had been committed when some kids wrote “Free Palestine” in chalk on the sidewalk. Because in her mind the kids were openly promoting terrorism, instead of trying to stop fellow children from dying.

Yeah that’s how it goes.

Just earlier today I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying figure out an issue where the classic “debug print” didn’t give the correct value. And as is often the case, I had forgot to change print to the new test variable.
