I believe it! One glimpse at the latest docs tells me that every major builtin library I knew is depreciated or gone. I’m not even sure if secrets is still the correct encryption library. Honestly I might have to start fresh with Python like it’s a new language

Well the last version I was actively using was 3.6 and the shiniest new feature I remember is switch cases from 3.7, so yes it has for me

Would you recommend it? I’ve seen the wrath of khan, it was alright but tos just can’t hold my attention like tng

It’s even happened to me with python. I stepped away from programming for a while and now all the guides are about 3.8 while the version on trixie is 3.13

It’s beautiful

Dynamic stacks are pretty common in the most popular scripting languages, but considered bad practice from folks who use systems languages

I’m a very large person (250lb/110kg, over 6’/1.8m) and I walk almost silently, unless I’m trying to be loud. I’ve learned to make some kind of noise when approaching people from behind, because otherwise it almost guarantees a jump scare

If you don’t think about it very hard, solidarity is basically macro ionization

It sounds like an extremely interesting planet for sure, I hope they point Webb at it to get an atmospheric spectral analysis soon!

That orbit is better described as passing through the habitable zone. How this would affect potential life, I have no clue, but it certainly isn’t a stable orbit in the habitable zone like earth or mars

Can someone just be a fucking greyhat for once and leak internal communications about the evil shit the company is doing?

I consider it to be the defining quote on how I choose to act as a person. If my words or actions aren’t aligned with the goal of total liberation, then I immediately reassess my position.

First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Tbh I’m tired of the “utopia is actually evil” trope. I like how Earth is presented in trek without many hidden evils. Starfleet has problems and the show explores them (look at the maquis), but they’re authentic to the stated mission of exploring and discovering.

If we’re sticking to the trek universe but using these ideas, they should go to the mirror universe or pre-federation

Why was it so important to lock down the blahaj community?

Mint and blackberries are representing the home team. Strong competitors all around

This got me thinking about an actual modified chess game. The location of a capture becomes difficult terrain that prevents normal movement for most pieces, but for pawns it creates high ground that prevents capture. En passant can only be done from these spaces

I’m fairly certain that there’s some kind of platform rule that will ban you if you write full sentences like a normal person.

More than deserved!

Basically, it’s all about different ways in which neurodivergent people struggle with stronger and/or less controllable emotions. Justice sensitivity for example can be viewed as an overly extreme reaction and connection to distant injustice.

It might be a reasonable response if it was deeply personal, but that response is extended to all injustice that they learn about. Keep in mind that all of these things exist on a spectrum, so I’m only giving an extreme example to make it understandable.
