Actually, Pythonscript is a whitespace-sensitive Python-to-perl transpiler.

Never had a beer that I liked. There are some I can tolerate, but none of them are actually enjoyable. So I usually go for cocktails, either a gin and tonic or a Moscow mule.

Yeah, that’s a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I’m playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it’s easier to move the root notes around that way.

Anything from Neutral Milk Hotel’s album In an Aeroplane Over the Sea. The whole album is Guitar 101.

I am bisexual and somewhat poly. With some of my friends I have a more publicly physical/intimate relationship. We may hold hands, hug, or kiss. In private, we cuddle and… do other things as well. I imagine the straights of Lemmy will largely tell you they don’t cuddle their male friends while the queer folk will give a different answer.

Tori Amos’s Silent All These Years. That mercurial little piano riff. The painful lyrics. The liberation of the middle eight. It’s a perfect song.

“Filmed on a canoe” is how I put it.

The sequel was worse: a hackneyed “elements” magic system and a plot that would only work on a much longer time scale. Too much stuff crammed into too little movie.

I get it. I love the slow pace, the beautiful cinematography, the careful dialog. But it’s not for everyone.

Primarily use my desktop (nothing beats a proper desk setup for Getting Shit Done) for work and gaming. I have a laptop that I use less frequently, but it’s an acceptable way to take work with me if I have to. It won’t play any games more graphically intense than Slay the Spire, but that’s not the point. I use my phone for Serious Business only when absolutely necessary. Anything short of a proper desktop setup feels like a crippled user experience, and phones are the most crippled experience of them all.

I think the connotation is that a Muppet is controlled by someone else. Their every thought, word, and action is the intent of their handlers.

There was an attempt by Twitter at one point to use “420 Enhance Your Calm” as a code to indicate you’re being rate limited.

You mean Eeeeyyiiidiot Wind? Yeah, love that track.

Gnome is a desktop environment, which you can install into virtually any distro. It’s the default for Fedora, which is a good enough place to try Linux for the first time.

If your options are “do as I say” or “suffer for all eternity” you aren’t really capable of exercising free will.

I feel like there need to be multiple CS pathways. For example, people who want to go into hardware development might take a set of courses more closely aligned with electrical engineering. Another set of skills might be aligned with data center management. Another might focus on distributed web application engineering. That’s where I ended up, and nobody ever taught me in college when would be an appropriate case for implementing a cache, what options exist to solve that problem, how to administer them, etc. When I hire for entry level DevOps people, there’s usually a skill gap between “I’ve built some cloud servers” and “I have specific experience managing redis caches and ElasticSearch clusters.”

Agreed. This UI is very much inherited from ancient word processing applications. The shift that Microsoft made in the Vista era to the tabbed menu buttons only added extra mouse clicks to get to the same set of functions. Word and LibreOffice both allow you to do the kind of thing you’re talking about, but those features are nestled way down into menus and trays that are ugly and hard to use and promote the use of the wrong tool since the wrong tool is made more accessible.

Having lived in Texas for something like 29 years, I must respectfully disagree. Unless you have a Five Guys around, Whataburger is about as good as fast food gets.
