Idk, I guess I should ask why python needs a default function? If I’m running it as a script with commandline invocation I just copy and paste the if main namespace thing from stack overflow and it works as I intended. It also works if I invoke via python my_script.py $args, so I don’t really see why I should philosophically care about how other languages that I’m not using do it.

I’m not sure why anyone would be “panicking” about the loss of a the latest US boondongle? The US MIC hasn’t been building things for fighting performance or efficiency since at least the end of the cold war, and probably before. An f-35 “almost” being shotdown just sound like boeing get’s another trillion dollars to build an “f-35+.”

All the career generals get to spend the next 10years instructing their minions to write intellectually bankrupt papers about how the US needs to engage our “strategic partners” to match this “new threat”. Honestly they could probably just copy the slurry of papers that were written after 9/11 about “low-tech threats” that the next generation of arms needs to deal with. Meanwhile the generals will be taken to the Capital Grill for their weekly lobbyist meetings where they get to drink $40 glasses of wine and eat $100 steaks because they are the most basic, worthless and craven people that our shitty political system has put in charge of trillions of dollars over their careers.

Regardless those people aren’t “panicking.”

What lack of theory does to a mfer.

You really don’t need to be a billionaire to afford crazy internet speeds (if you want them). You can get a 100G port from pretty much any ISP for ~$8k/mo, or even cheaper if you are willing to have a bandwidth cap. Then assuming you really want it, you’d have to pay to get the fiber laid to your home, which can be a few hundred thousand dollars depending on how far away you are. Of course this is ridiculous for home internet, but it is within reach for people that are way poorer then billionaires.

Should have the cigar smoking guy asking how much cheaper it would be if it were polluting instead.

This is good thing for the dozen or so people benefiting from our unlimited funding to defense contractors and of course a bad thing for literally everyone else.

Partitioning is one of those obsolete Unixisms that is best left in the 90s. Only exception is dual booting, but even there partitioning isn’t really very important anymore

Agreed. Also dog’s do not belong in cities.

This is a great thing. Not even joking. No more coal and Energy exports? Perfect. Agriculture has to be sold locally and thus subject to the Agriculture Bill pricing ceiling and supply mandates? Great. (obviously the ag bill has a lot of room for improvement, but I digress.)

Private prisons are paid per-head.

What’s up with people expecting the government to issue a licenses for explicit constitutional rights?

Oy! Where’s your permit to peaceably assemble?
Hope you gotta a loisence for that news paper!
Let’s see some ID before you vote.
Oh you don’t want your home to be a barracks? Hope you paid the appropriate fees and filled out the forms.

Pure liberalism.

Why does even a modern language syntax insist on having end of line characters like semi colons. Surely we have moved beyond that. What is even the point of those characters?

No idea about the raw idealized intelligence. However one of the biggest advantages humans have as far as societal living and advancement is language, both spoken AND written. Spoken languages are fairly niche amongst species of the world though there is evidence of many mammalian species that have at least the basics of it.

However written language is unique to humans. That alone regardless of any other measurable aspect of “intelligence,” has placed human society firmly at the top of the earthly animal kingdom.

Hell yea. 100% taxes for all import and export of fossil fuels same with SUVs.

This is a comfortable lie that liberals tell themselves. But the real answer is that the blue party of Capital has no intention of doing the milquetoast things that Bernie says let alone what leftists imagine. Racism is merely an excuse, and people like you buy it.

Where are the hexbear people with their image macro’s. I need the one of Netanyahu with the cartoonish bomb.

Ah found it. This is from like 2004 or something. e: apparently 2012 67th United Nations General Assembly meeting Sept. 27, 2012

Sounds like the perfect evolution of pointers then.

I “understood” on a basic level what pointers were when i was first learning programing as a 12-13year old. But I never understood HOW to use them, or manipulate them, or what functions you use to interact with them, or how to examine them, or how to declare them, etc etc. And since I was young I never got the opportunity to take an actual programming class that taught any of that throughout high school. By the time I got to college I went with Electrical Engineering instead of computer science and so my journey with pointers ended.

Now I do python and never have to think about pointers.

Yea lack of glasses probably a different reporter. But the fact that it is a different reporter shows that CNN could have accommodated the Iranian Presidents demands if they wanted to, then the fact that they accommodated the al qaeda guy shows it was never about the head scarf or Islam or anything like that.

Can we please PLEASE start linking the actual tweet in the future. You can also screen shot it/copy and paste the content if you want, but PLEASE screenshots of tweets are the worst thing on the internet.
