fucking... all of it the other day, the example that made this top-of-mind, was looking up the python string formatting options. Google found https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html which is a giant wall of

how sad it is that the documents that described the changes exist as the reference for them, though.

are you asking why it is bad as in "in what sense is it bad?" or as in "how did it end up being so bad"? It's bad because it's missing most of the information it should have. look at https://www.w3sc

Well I don't mean python, it is obviously not a shell. I just mean something like it.

I can't believe that in 2025 it is still hard to find documentation for basic functionality in languages as ubiquitous as, say, Python. If I google something simple I get 100 junk sites of garbage (GeeksForGeeks, W3Schools, etc), a bun

demanding weird standards of proof in a conversation is an annoying thing to do. if you want to know with more confidence maybe take two seconds to google it

I mean... to oversimplify a bit, Python is for scripting and Go is for servers.

by ajkjk 1y ago
you'd be crazy (senior or not) not to use Go for Go stuff and Python for Python stuff

that would be very surprising

Those sound like premodern relationships? Every with-it youngish person I know has long rejected that model.

You asked for them to cite case law. Certainly a link to a random article would convince you, though?

you're asking someone to cite case law for a random post on a forum?

I honestly wonder, what kind of person writes a book that compares translations without thinking to include ample examples? Are they intentionally trying to limit their audience?

the greenland thing is a joke, they don't actually want it or care at all, they just want to seem strong and assertive. things are not done for logical or personally-beneficial reasons here.

yeah, I'm getting that, but it's sad to read the mindset still existing in 2025

It sounded like they didn't have to scrap it, but did anyway? Or at least did not feel like it had to actually be justified to him. > I remember him explaining how many CDs would have to be destroyed (had they already been created

Well sure you can always do what your boss says. The part that's weird is that the author seems to think their boss was in the right.

It's weird how... servile... this person sounds. They're wondered why they weren't fired, when their prank had no negative side effects and the only issue was a department head being a dick about it? hey think the lesson here

You have unfortunately written off everything I said by assuming the most naive understanding of it. The general theme is that I am interested in the metaphysical concept of vectors, not the thing that human mathematicians have labeled vect

oh, my point was the opposite of that. The math department was totally useless for learning how anything made sense. I only understood linear algebra when I took quantum mechanics for instance. The math department couldn't be bothered

Funny, I agree that visualizations aren't that useful after a point, but when you said "start thinking about the math in a linguistic mode" I thought you were going to describe what I do, but then you described an entirely di

I've never found that econ 101 logic credible. Even if money supply is ultimate the reason for prices going up, there's an intermediate step where somebody actually set a higher price . And there was a cause for their thinking.
