Looks more like a late 80s movie to me. I assure you, we did not need AI to generate our nonsense for us.

The lack of self-awareness in this comment is depressing

Alternatively, why wait twice as long for your python code to execute as you have to?

It’s very convenient not to have to remember a bunch of different means/methods for performing the same conceptual operation. You might call len(x) == 0 on a list, but next time it’s a dict. Time after that it’s a complex number. The next time it’s an instance. not works in all cases.

I use Blender for that, too. Anything I don’t do in Blender I probably do in emacs…

I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.

Truthiness is so fundamental, in most languages, all values have a truthiness, whether they are bool or not. Even in C, int x = value(); if (!x) x_is_not_zero(); is valid and idiomatic.

I appreciate the point that calling a method gives more context cues and potentially aids readability, but in this case I feel like not is the python idiom people expect and reads just fine.

Strongly disagree that not x implies to programmers that x is a bool.

Then the new owners were only doing it for the money.

As opposed to what reason for owning a factory??

The pay WOULD be astronomical if it had kept pace with CEOs, that’s the point

Kind of sucks when you outsource all of your manufacturing …

It’s kind of awesome for everyone if you don’t piss off your trading partners. It happens in the first place because it’s better for everyone involved! It’s a consensual arrangement that parties only engage in because it is in their interests.

lisp makes my brain relax

No media/communication company supports your expression of your rights.

Exactly the two events that got me on and off Reddit. I use LibRedirect to rewrite any reddit links to proxies that only work about 15% of the time, and it really discourages me from even bothering…

… and you believe that it’s because they are a “CLI person” that they are unable to be honest. Because that’s a thing that a sane person would say.

Why is it so hard for CLI people to be honest?

Interesting if unseemly glimpse into your psyche.

See, in my mind, a CLI is a line buffer-based interface, whereas a TUI is an interactive character-based interface. sed or bash is CLI and vi or rogue is TUI.

The alternative to memorization is the analog to “hunt and peck typing” where you just search the whole fucking screen/program.
