He saw room for improvement.

I believe the reason for that is so it can continue after his presidency. He can shut it down entirely if it’s ongoing.

Speedcrunch!! Speedcrunch is a text based calculator that I just recently found, and already cannot live without. The syntax is very intuitive. If you’re a programmer, you will feel right at home. Now, I do all my bit twiddling in speedcrunch before it gets to code.

It also works on Windows. At work, I have a Windows and Linux machine, and it is pinned to the taskbar on both.

Unfortunately, the ACA was gutted before it was signed. While it reduced the number of uninsured (by a lot), it is ultimately just another way public money could be funneled into these insurance companies.

Jury nullification

It’s a classic false dichotomy.

I’m against killing people, but if someone tries to kill me…

Long time Linux user here. The smoothest OS I’ve ever used was xp64. That just ran like butter. Unfortunately, it was killed off to push people to Vista.

I felt bad you typed all that out when I’m just a python hater who isn’t able to argue in good faith.

My bad. I personally can’t stand Python, and am just a python hater. If I used python professionally as a general purpose language, I would probably want all the tools. Though… I never needed a virtual environment in another language.

In the codebases I work in, python is occasionally used as a cross-platform scripting language, which is where its bread and butter should be. Never more than 200 lines. Every time I crack open a codebase, if there is any python, it doesn’t work. That will be the thing I have to fight before I get to work on the real problem. If it has been a year, it’s broken. If it’s a Linux project, you’re better off using Bash if you want it to run a year from now. On Windows, well…

There’s another one?! What’s wrong with venv, pipenv, virtualenv, flit, conda, etc. I just want to write code, not fight with silly tools. It’s a scripting language after all.

During the election I found myself rooting for Trump once it became ~15% for Harris. The collective brain rot on the right has an extreme aversion to understanding statistics. They literally would not be able to comprehend that it’s possible for a coin to land on heads 3 times in a row.

Yup. The fact that the “proper” method to develop is to work in a sandboxed environment tells me everything I need to know. I feel like the only thing you learn from python is how to fight python instead of anything about programming. Personally, I think we need to stop recommending it as a first language.

Sucking up to Putin. The next thing he will say is all 2 su57s in existence are much more advanced.

Propaganda works.

I replied to the right person, but I did misread what you wrote. I should have said “you think Lemmy users want the government to take people’s guns.”

Lol. He is too busy fucking with you too explain. The NRA strawman is “they’re coming for your guns.” They’ve built their entire organization around that BS. It’s easy to look at a country like Iceland, see their murder rate and think, “fuck, why can’t we do that?”

But it wouldn’t work in the US. Guns are a part of the culture… it’s in the constitution… bla bla. Most people on the left (obviously, not everyone) are able to do the math and realize, the US is not Iceland. What most people want is the bare minimum restrictions on them. And the other side says, “any restriction at all is one step away from THEY’RE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS!”

You sound like you actually want the government to go take people’s guns, thus, fueling the strawman.

There is always a foreign backed clown trying to challenge every presidential election. Some will always fall for that garbage. Not enough to… You know try to hang the vice president or anything. The left just isn’t that gullible.

Ha, imagine how incredibly easy it is to be a Republican politician.

That’s become quite the handy “don’t upgrade this to Windows 11” switch to have.
