I have become less of a manchild and have started doing the python exercises

My advice is to just immediately start writing assembly, !codecels. I think recreating roller coaster tycoon is a nice simple task that will make you aware of the fundamentals

Haskellfolx when you ask them to name literally any notable software that uses Haskell

npm isntall haskell

programming conventions are nice but they suck when they are abused by people that have no idea why they are there. huge pet peeve is people doing this

int ZERO = 0;

most of the time they do that because they heard you shouldn't put "magic numbers" in your code. but calling "0" "ZERO" doesn't address the problem with magic numbers which is the fact that people don't know why they were there in the first place.

btw you people that complain about strict programming conventions have no idea what absolute horror can come from code that is not structured well. buddy I've seen methods that are ten thousand lines long. literally, that's not an exaggeration

You could even learn from rdrama

if you want to learn how to write schizospaghetti code yes, otherwise no

rdrama deep lore drop.

Thanks!

You can study those things if you want but the fundamentals remain unchanged no matter what programming language you use

are you a for?

great!

I'm being serious. It's my favorite way to get a little energy and it's good for your mood because it increases endorphins. And if getting a cold butt shower is the worst part of your day, you're having a great day

yeah cause it's not available over https

rdrama replaced http with https automatically

in any case here is the text

We are not Adults Just Because We Say So

4-30-2022

A character in a movie that I watched some time ago said that inside we are all just children pretending to be adults. I agree and disagree with that. At some point, many of us stop pretending, but some never do.

Recently, I heard a man on a call-in radio show say that he was using a Raspberry Pi as his server. He explained that, due to the cost of the power, his wife would not "let" him employ a full-sized computer. The man did not say he agreed with his wife that a full-sized computer consumed more power than they were willing to pay for. He said his wife would not let him use one. He may as well have said his mommy would not let him have a cookie.

Most likely, nuances apply here that could be explored. I assume the man had a job, and therefore an income that he could use in any way he chose. The two spouses may have agreed to allocate certain money for certain expenses, and the power bill from a full-sized computer could have exceeded the husband's share of their budget for non-essentials. And so on and so forth. But, the man did not say any of these things. He said his wife would not "let" him use a full-sized computer, which strongly suggests that he believed he had no say in the matter. The sad thing is that we see this type of behavior everywhere, and we think that because this is somewhat normal, it must therefore be right.

At least in the United States, most women have not believed the abdication of choice was acceptable in the context of a marriage since the 1960's. This was what the women's liberation movement was about. Women no longer wanted to be treated like children, so they learned to stop acting like children. Unfortunately, many of their boyfriends and husbands did not learn the same lesson.

The lack of understanding of how agency applies in a marriage relationship is only one example of how many, if not most, so-called adults are still children. Whenever we put ourselves in the position of looking for the approval of another, we are acting like children. I will state flatly that we are not just acting like children. Psychologically, we are children. Whether man or woman, when a person believes that he must prove to his significant other that he is worthy of their love or acceptance, he is a child. By doing so, he places the other in charge of his life and relegates himself to the role of a child. The same can be said in the context of a government/citizen or employer/employee relationship.
