Feel like lemmy is more like usenet than a forum

Richard Nixon started the war on drugs.

100 years of inflation has destroyed the purchasing power of the poor and middle class. If your mam and pop does not grow 2% a year its a shrinking business and eventually there is nothing left. Big corps seem to make it work by bending the rules. But the little guy gets screwed. The rich tax rate is like the murmur show to distract us from losing everything of value.

I haven’t lost anything on any of my systems using zfs.

I was using it on some thumb drives. Both drives went bad but snapshots on the failed devices themselves I had everything

ugh hate all that stuff

As someone with a twin with a completely different personality the idea of horoscopes has always been sily

I was talking about the starting of new projects

But disposal/storage of waste is baked in to the cost of nuclear. The economics of solar and wind don’t include those which is why we have windmill trash heaps

starlink is pretty good.

If we required the recycling cost to be covered in the purchase of solar cells and wind mill blades would this still be true.

ugh Jira. At my first job in 2006 I was the Jira administrator. Every project wanted their own custom fields. We had a Jira project for “infra” problems it had 3 fields yall Title/Description/priority and it worked so well. Moved to a company with a simple ticket system with not much more but the concept of “tags” it was heavily

I always told my kids the monsters were in the closet not under the bed. I also introduced them to hand puppets named chewy and Bytee. They were monster ostrich that lived in the closet, there favorite food is my kids which they nip at and the kids all have found it hilarious over the years. Also there was a monkey that slept in the closet when the zoo was closed. I told the kids I was renting out the closet space. Have three kids 13, 11, 4 none of them were ever afraid of the closet or under the bed. Any hint that they thought something was in the closet and I would go full conspiratorial and confirm there is “something” in the closet. That always seemed to work well apposed to denying their fears.

I have the HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw I love it. I got it new last year. Sure its been complaining about low toner for 90% of that time but it still prints and they look great. I don’t have hp software installed, I have the wifi turned off and just use the ethernet hookup. airprint from my phone works great also. Its never once refused to print because one of the toner colors are empty. Sure it complains but it still prints. I can’t say the same for any inkjet I have ever owned.

Never buy consumer grade printers. If the ink is more expensive than the printer you are going to get hosed in the long run.

I had a brother laser before but it pulled so much current at warm up that it caused a brown out that tripped all the ups’s in the house.

I

Lagrange point station would be neat.

Like cython?

Its a whole lot of magic. I many times have to look at the generated c code because its doing something weird especially when generating c++

IMHO programs don’t belong on pypi only libraries. Its a waste of namespace.

Explicit is better than implicit, read the zen of python(its short). Don’t be too magical. Don’t reach for a class if you have no state. Watch some jackdied talks from old pycons. You don’t need custom exceptions the stdlib has plenty. Also if its not documented don’t use it. Don’t use star imports.

Black just use it don’t fight it, don’t waste brain space with formatting rules. “You can have any formatter you want as long as its black”. Use default black settings. People who don’t are heretics :P

sys.path or PYTHONPATH is how imports are resolved. Much like shells looking for binaries. IMHO you should never adjust either. The current directory is always added to sys.path. but beyond that directories are packages. Use __init__.py when you want to provide a module for what happens when you import a package.

python3.11 -m venv .venv

This is how you should create your venv. After that activate it and use pip. You should setup a requirements.txt for your project, then you can use pip -r to configure your env. Global install of third-party libraries is always a bad idea in practice. Version constraints make that almost impossible these days.

python is like this also. I don’t remember a language that returned ints

I guess it may depend on the rights of scooter. He may only have rights to the recordings themselves and not the lyrics.

I didn’t use docker. I went from scratch. You need to be able to compile rust and run nginx or similar

so they are c# fans
