I don’t want to change my body and I’m comfortable being a man. I’m intensely curious about another life but I’m happy with my own. If I could start over in a new body and could choose to be a cis woman I would.

What is this in rebuttal to? I don’t see any claim of being open source on https://grayjay.app/.

I love this comic. I’m extremely curious about the experiences of attractive women. So curious I sometimes think I wish I were a woman. Sometimes I feel jealous of all the validation they get. However the more I learn about their lives the more glad I am to be an attractive man.

I asked myself this often. I think it’s absentmindedness but I still find myself annoyed. Wear it or don’t but halfway just gets to me.

I can’t find any evidence of that. Are you perhaps thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris made from stones in the whale digestive system?

The other benefit of having a proper emergency fund is being able to say no to your boss without any fear. It took me 10 years but I have enough accessible funds to go a year easily without any new income. The freedom at work is so nice. I’ve noticed that my confidence at not needing the job makes them take me way more seriously and offer all kinds of benefits they don’t afford everyone.

This resonates with me. I love all the packages but yes the gigabytes downloaded to build something and the sheer time taken is not fun at all. Syntax is ugly IMO as well. It’s still my go to for strongly and statically typed languages in spite of everything though. Maybe you’re right about the hype train hitting me. :)

What you call hype I call a strong and growing ecosystem. ;)

Honestly it’s been fun chatting with you. I think we are sort of opposites. You seem to like hobby languages. I like well used languages. You are tired of hearing about what’s popular. I’m excited about other programmers being excited.

I am curious what turned you off when you were actually using Rust. Or did you mostly lose interest because other people endorse it?

Sure, most of NATOs military power comes from the US, but the overall power comes from being a united front of multiple countries.

We can agree on that.

These are Linux laptops. But yes, they’ll work better if you put your preferred distro on them.

Fun stuff :)

Part of what make Python amazing is pip and everything that’s already been built. For a strongly typed and statically typed language with a large and growing ecosystem I’m drawn to Rust even though I don’t think it’s pretty.

Johnson & Johnson as well as Avon have paused investments and have very similar products. I have good skin with Dove but https://www.amazon.ca/Aveeno-Moisturizing-Colloidal-Oatmeal-Soap-Free/dp/B06VTWRWGJ worked great for me too. I wouldn’t get it from Amazon though.

Are you implying that if the USA stopped projecting force globally NATO would continue deter aggression like it does now? I doubt that but I’m open to changing my perspective.

nim looks good at a glance. I tend to stick with marketable programming languages so there are so many I don’t know about. I personally think that using the optional strong typing features are enough to make Python a joy to use. But yes, other people’s code can be cumbersome.

Such a well thought out and reasonable response. Thank you!

I generally do not agree with the law around intellectual property or even private property so we likely would not see eye to eye but I appreciate the chance to understand where you’re coming from and what you believe.

Python is probably the top non-systems language for productivity and expressiveness right now if you use type hints.

Sure, permission needs to be sought for reprinting. That’s not what we are discussing though. I will just take your word on that second part because as far as I know none of my professors asked author permission before telling the class to read anything.

The issue is artists should be able to opt out of having their work taken and fed into a big project they have no control over.

So in your opinion a should University have to ask each authors permission before using their work as a reference for each study run there one by one?

Transit is basically free in my city. Just look down on your luck and the drivers will wave you through. If they are running behind they will yell at you to “just get on” instead of paying because they care more about being on time than collecting $2.50 (minus credit card fees, minus admin fees, minus grift, minus whatever else).

It seems to work okay. They crazy folks and (extremely) smelly folks would get refused service even if they had $2.50 so I don’t think that is a valid concern.
