OP was (at worst) saying that cooking is menial. Not a comment about a person, and not a particularly negative descriptor. The person I replied to then indirectly called him lazy and made an insulting bad-faith assumption about how OP spend

All I'm seeing from your comment is insulting OP's desire to not spend time cooking, and shaming it as being lazy. You don't even bother to back up your claim that it's not menial. Is shame really all you have to bring t

You should really take a look at FoundryVTT. Its a one-time purchase of $50 if you are willing to self-host it. I've been using it for the past year or so, and I've had almost no issues (none that reading the docs or asking my pla

I'm skeptical that anyone wants to de-standardize spelling. Maybe its like the abortion debate. There isn't a pro-abortion side except in the minds of the "pro-life" people. Descriptivists by definition study/report

In that case I'd stick an `if callable` check in if_then_else. But really... ternary is a nice way to draw attention away from simple pieces of code. If you have anything complicated (like functions with side effects) spend the extra 3

Most of the time when I see python ternary in the wild, it makes the code less readable, not more. Why not just define something like this if you want oneliners? def if_then_else(cond, true_case, false_case): if cond: re

I think this is the sort of thing that enters the collective consciousness and then gets generalized, but code smells were originally pretty specific anti-patterns that had specific fixes. All from this book if I recall correctly https:&#x

Funny thing is that the Metro games are based on books by the same name. I tried reading the first one expecting horror and survivalism and action. Instead I got mysticism and philosophy. Half the book reads like Dante's Inferno. Like

> "should our cities be solarpunk or cyberpunk?" That's such a frustrating false equivalence, and so is the idea that solarpunk is "punk" because its opposing cyberpunk. Cyberpunk was never aspirational, its a dy

Is there a way to express distaste for racists that doesn't use the word like a slur? I'm wondering to what extent statements like "racist is a slur" is equivalent to "people frequently express distaste for racists&

I really want to like Vivaldi. It's the only browser (afaik) that supports tabs on the side. Right now I use "Tree Style Tabs" on Firefox with some custom CSS to get rid of the original tab bar. Unfortunately I get a massive

Yes, it can be frustrating when your users don't know as much about your product as you do and ask for help in a vague way. It's unintuitive that a color named green would correspond to the color on the left that I don't thin
