  • No, they were not:

    • homes are on very recent trash, think plastic and such
    • caste system used to mean "do what you are good at" which for most people is "what you learned from people around you". Now it is "do what you are allowed to do, or else"
    • you know some temples ban women, especially on their period? It was done initially so that they don't catch unwanted influences, now it is "you are impure and unwanted here"
    • some temples took generations to build and need certain things to be done in order to keep them functioning as intended. Now people who still have the knowledge have to first get the government to let them do what's needed

    Besides all that, I am talking about wellbeing and the magnitude of people this land has produced. They were incredible, but many of them won't make it in current society

  • Yes, but "something still stands" does not equal "nothing has fallen". Not every Indian has access to a toilet that is flushed with water, there are houses built upon heaps of trash, kids who genuinely think taking some government job and then living off bribes is a good way to live, what has become of cast system and how care for women has been twisted into oppression - someone a little more knowledgeable can spend whole days just enumerating problems. And all this in a land where they had enlightened kings (in spiritual sense, as in "knowing how everything works") and also leathers and societies capable of lifetimes of dedicated work

  • And it goes much much further. The name of the land is Bharat, but I've spent some 25-ish years not knowing that. It always brings me to tears when I think of how this land and people were and what wondrous place it could have been when I was born. But alas, there is so much to undo and overcome now to get even a glimpse of that

  • Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

    Python will happily let you overwrite its own internals while running, for instance

    Damn, that's cool and I did not even know. Pretty sure I would not do this in production code, but very glad very this possibility exists

  • Take some place currently having UTC+12 time zone, say Marshall Islands. Midnight by UTC, the moment date changes, is exactly noon there. So how should people there talk about time? There is no "Tuesday the 15th of May" there, because every day is one part one date, other part another date

    So yeah. For computers and programmers "whole planet lives in UTC" might look like a boon (for a time I myself wished for it), but only until they start facing other, more twisted problems

  • Lol. If I have to explain what "show me file system" and "save files where I want you to save them" mean, that one generation is millennials

    Edit: oh, I get it. Sorry. Well, it does seem like that

  • Same here, save a car. I am also waiting for that magical moment when "you will understand when you grow up". Welp, how much more growing do I have to do to reach that magical understanding that some grown-ups are toxic morons untold mysteries of the universe

  • Someone should get their hands on someone like me and someone like you and study their brains. I spend most time with PHP and C++, and Python looks like an attempt to write code like prose literature. Very interesting how much of this is habbit, as it can't be just that: reading prose and poetry in English/Russian/Japanese never produced this kind of resentment

  • No lol, I am asking if the described reaction is in line with whatever you have phantasized about me

    Anyway, since I don't think you'll ever open your eyes and read the fucking (reference intended) message properly, been nice to shoot some shit (that's another, very specific reference to a game). Good luck

  • This gets funnier with each iteration :) Do go on then. What else my transparent self does not realize? And while I am still at it, where is your insightful and undeniable proof Android actually does what I want from it? So far I've seen only "lol I can do it", so catch this: if you can do that, I can traverse file system with ls. Even starting at / on Android

    You're move, da greit wun

  • That's so much good for you than you still write. And since you are trying to die on the hill of "you right, me wrong", I won't help you understand where you fucked up

    Hm. Looks like deliberately wrong spelling does the trick of boosting your reading skills. Trai tu reed ma fist masaage egein

  • As much as I am inclined to agree with this, still can't

    see: LISP

    Also, see: Python with more than three lines of logic. I could suspect that's just the me-versus-whitespaces thing, but no, YAML files do not get me dizzy in under thirty seconds of reading. Van Rossum made a huge miscalculation here
