No, I came here, looking for that exact comment
My personal recommendation:
Pick up Python, it’s easy to learn and highly productive. If you also learn fastAPI, you can benefit from highly validated, declarative models to build REST APIs in the backend, well fast. It will yield quick results, you won’t become demotivated and you can pick up a paid project soon.
Pick up Rust. It’s “in” right now and I get requests from marketing people that know nothing about programming, asking if their project could be implemented in Rust
Go with memorizing the shell commands first, try to understand git later. Get productive, try to get where you were with e. g. svn or cvs. If you are comfortable, look at something in depth if you have a problem that you can’t solve with the knowledge you have.
Fuck Java, seriously.
You have commercial interests, so it is probably wise to look into becoming a fullstack dev to maximize the kind of projects you can do. Look into React, vue.js, svelte. React is probably still the most widely used framework, you’ll quickly do a project with vue.js and svelte is a super interesting look into things to come.
Smoothing is probably the “wrinkle away”, “wrinkle shield” etc. setting. Wool loosening is what a modern dryer calls e. g. “refresh” or “fluff”.
Funny enough, the dial on my dryer bought earlier this year has almost identical settings and layout, just more options.
Sure. In my opinion, however, the overall context of the image does imply the jaguar enjoys similar effects to those clearly requiring the presence of DMT, as that is what is most people commonly associate with ayahuasca.
It’s a bit of a “look at all those animals getting high, this jaguar is even talking to machine elves in the 19th dimension” kinda thing, where - if I remember correctly - they actually consume the leaves for digestive purposes.
Again, the leaves do have an effect, e. g. they apparently act as an SSRI (that’s how common antidepressants work) and we can’t be absolutely sure about their effect on cats (catnip certainly has some effect on cats we don’t readily enjoy), so I can’t dismiss the notion of jaguars seeking them out for that reason as well.
Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.
While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that’s their intention and that they’d get comparable effects.
I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, “Peculiar Potions”.
I’m not really sold on how well that content was researched.
Yeah, in general, that’s true. Unfortunately, that’s not the whole truth, as usual. I found these sites helpful:

IMHO, there is too much legal fragmentation and a discrepancy between the federal classification and the treatment of e-bikes as regular bikes. I also prefer the slower speed limits and simplified classification most EU member states adopted (15mph, 250W continuous motor power)
Yeah, but that is already illegal in 90% of the places, which makes it an issue not really related to the concept of an e-bike.
I have been living in Europe for quite a while now, and e-bikes here are limited to about 15mph, e-scooters can go up to 12mph. While you can buy modding kits just fine, I haven’t seen a single modded bike in regular traffic in the last 9 years.
There are higher powered devices that can legally go faster, but that means you need a helmet and a license plate.
Let’s not claim that e-bikes and cargo e-bikes do not make a huge difference in cities and rural areas (for completely different reasons). It’s legislation and enforcement of the existing laws that suck, not the idea of a vehicle that can assist its driver.
Why would there be a dedicated tag for Ecchi? Once people start doing that, you are down the road to meaningless, one-time use hash tags that offer no value and actually decrease people’s ability to filter for topics.
I get that there should be an option to filter out sexual and violent content independently of each other, but those filters should be very broad categories and not serve as organizational mechanism for the individual preferences of users.
Also, if you introduce a rating system, who will handle the additional moderation load, checking out in which category each particular content instance falls. I don’t see it.
For anyone interested, I really recommend the book / audio book Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake.
I liked the book so much that I later on bought the audio book. It’s entertaining, filled with facts, but not overly scientific to a degree where it can’t be enjoyed by a layman.
Happy to hear that! Give them some extra pets today!
With type annotations, this problem is mostly alleviated in practice, while still keeping the productivity gains of duck typing.
Please note that this is not a global problem, and that keeping a cat indoors is also not a solution - just don’t get a cat then.
I share all those opinions, so your rant saved me some potential typing in the future.
On the 8 Pro, the bump is recessed relative to the Otterbox case (given the “tough” Otterbox model for the 8 Pro, no idea what it’s called)
Do you use the phone without a protective case? I find that most cases are designed so that the bump is flush with the back of the case.
That being said, I prefer thicker cases like the Otterbox oder Spigen Tough whatever series, so I could see how such a case would be “too much” for someone.
The top half has so much personal meme potential for me… great.
Also, new PBF comic? Hm!
Based on this comment*, I’ll migrate a large project to bazel now. I’ll report how it goes.
So, female leads in video games are fine when used and perceived as a novelty? Special and cool like they used to be? You can tolerate them if the game is good? Jesus man, I don’t know what to tell you…
Side note: please don’t abuse the word “toxic” until it becomes absolutely meaningless. Let’s keep that to a more fitting context, having a
I was expressing an obviously personal opinion about the language itself, which is objectively a dull, barren wasteland that sucks out your soul while you walk it. That is precisely the reason why it’s so widespread and loved by business entities and managers - there is no excitement, no surprises, just an everlasting monotony of keys clicking produced by a horde of clones wearing button-down shirts while sitting in absolute identical cubicles, creating yet another instance of FactoryProducer. It’s very easy to plan and schedule for, while at the same time being unnecessarily verbose and mildly unproductive (compared to other languages).
Look, the JVM is fine, just pick another language. There is plenty of work doing Kotlin. But yes, if you’re doing this only for the money, go ahead. I’ve always been unable to separate my job fromy personal life and my other interests, I couldn’t imagine being cursed by Java again.
If you can sit somewhere for 8 to 10 hours each day, doing something that isn’t fun and separate yourself from it, not going insane, all the power to you. I also get that not everyone has the luxury of picking their favorite toy and making it their job, but I firmly believe there are options that are not Java.
Now, if you’re one of the rare types that actually enjoys Java, meet me in the closest Denny’s parking lot, I need your cranial measurements.
Please note: this post contains hyperbole and humor. I don’t hate any of you, I just hate Java
