When something like python tries to force readability into your code without your consent?

That’s why I always use a nonsensical class structure with stupid names; it’s my chastity belt.

I thought applet came first. Then “web apps” - but i think that’s a windows perspective.

This claims they came from NEXT which apple bought in the 90s. https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/when-did-programs-become-apps.136416/

The thread also refers to bitmap image files as bumps which I’d still do if I ever saw a bump again. So the thread is legitimate.

I don’t want them to wait 'til death. The death isn’t important the land ownership reform is.

Do you hoard TVs so that people can’t buy their own, and charge people fees to watch?

Exactly, many people rent because they’re credit constrained - they can’t borrow the lump sum even though they have enough to pay the rent each month.

Banks are shit at supplying houses because they like to protect the (over)value(d) assets of their balance sheet - plus they ration credit inefficiently. (source some papers by joe stiglitz et al).

Council housing / social housing / rent controlled is the thing to fill the gap, the government can borrow againts its much more secure asset and pay the construction workers. Govt should not care about crashing a house price bubble; in fact it should want to - oh hang on . . . govts are controlled by landowners too.

Definately land (ownership) reform needed hopefully to democratise governments at least a wee bit more representative.

Getting Embraced and Extended must feel nice.

Yes exactly, “Policing activity” will happen one way or another. It’s the regulation, transparency, accountability that is used to weed out bad cops that is needed to make it beneficial to society.

Judge any service (and most other stuff) by its support, aftercare and how they handle complaints / fix problems.

That’s worth more than flashy front end, marketing bs or even technical performance specs.

Don’t fly in a plane until aftr you’ve applied and been rejected then, surely.

Ooh wait 'til Musk realises he can improve US agricultural efficiency.

Cool! I wish there were, and hope there will be, more like you.

I cannot wait to cut off the testicles of a 3.000lb raging bull as it tries to kick my head in.

I just dont get why you have to assume that though?

Maybe I’m a pessimist, but I’ve met and worked with enough humans that I think the best assumtion is that they’re all full of shit until they prove otherwise.

It’s fine to rely on experts for some things, but if those experts aren’t subject to independent scrutiny or directly independent of the claim or sunjecy under test, or can’t give clear testable /replicable evidence, I’d just not put much weight on their testimony as a source of evidence.

SQL is not web-scale

I hope the screenshot dude is also going to stop this unquestioning belief in the things people say or claim without evidence.

Those first two paragraphs look like a tendency to prefer hero-worship to critical thought; that seems to be a fairly widespread problem in humans from long before this latest batch of demagogues.

There’s also a hint of “I’m not an ‘expert’ in it so I can’t (be bothered) to understand anything about it” also a very depressingly common attitude.

pandas is obviously chinese spyware.
