   I don't understand why a Python programmer would move from PyCharm to VS Code. PyCharm is pretty perfect as far as I can tell. I've tried to move to VS Code a few times to keep up with the cool kids, but I always seem to run into

   I just got a fraudulent email from someone impersonating my bank about small changes to the terms of service, but all of the links appear legitimate. No phone numbers either. I guess this is some sort of long-con to get me to trust the emai

   I've heard that houses in Paris have been impossible to buy for decades now, maybe US cities are becoming old and "grand" in the same sense.

   This is why I get so excited about increasingly realistic simulators, like Microsoft Flight Simulator https://medium.com/@jmugan/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-i... Edited to say that was a blog post I wrote

   Another good point. But you need additional technology to profit from that knowledge, which could explain why that came slowly.

    Good point, but you can't make money with heliocentrism.

    I don't get it. Lisp has been around for like 60 years. If these macros were an objectively better way to write code, why have they not taken over by now?

    Justified or not, I'm more afraid of all the horror stories that say you can't unsubscribe than the $4 a month.

    PyCharm works well for me. Probably not as fancy as all this other stuff, but the type hints make the code easier to understand, and they help PyCharm help me by enabling it to find more errors and by enabling enhanced autocompletion.

    I think we need a bigger appreciation of noise pollution in general. People fly private planes and helicopters over while we are trying to enjoy nature, or trucks go beep beep beep when we are trying to think, or unnecessarily loud vehicles

    I don't quite follow. The link to the blog post was just for background information. Let's agree to disagree and leave it at that.

    The chatbot part was a subset of what I was doing.

    Funny. I filed a patent for this same thing in 2015 and it was rejected for not being novel. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160332079A1/en

    Thanks! You'd think that would be in preferences somewhere instead of hidden right in front of me. Hopefully, this will allow me to start using Twitter again.

    How do you do that on the website? I've searched around, but all of the descriptions of how to do it appear out of date.

    I wish we could apply price-gouging laws to medical care. But I guess it just seems like normal practice at this point.

    I find it depressing that non-emergency helicopters are legal. The amount of noise they create to transport a few people ends up being a net negative on quality of life.

    Some states have price gouging laws to keep people from being taken advantage of when they are in a vulnerable state, you can't charge $30 for a gallon of gas after a hurricane, I don't understand why hospitals are any different.

    I've generally had a lot of trouble with GAE. Debugging is really hard and things seem to fail for weird reasons. The use case I have, with a front end and a static backend, has been surprisingly complicated. I recently shut my app dow
