  • What is the "classical" sense? What are you implying when you say they are "scripting" languages? What you are imparting to me is that they are less-than other, real languages. I don't take personal offense, but I do take issue with the mischaracterization and implication that those languages are somehow less serious or less broadly useful.

    No hard feelins! (:

  • Are you referring to Python and JS as scripting languages? The two most popular languages on the planet? Ones which are capable of building almost any kind of app imaginable? Surely you don't apply your limited experience with a single dev to a group of millions of developers doing extremely varied things, right?

  • Don't feel that way. This is a highly specific role with a ton of not-necessarily-connected tech. Python, C++, Rust and calling out Java? Strange. You don't need to know any of this stuff to be successful. If you just know javascript, that's enough for many, many roles.

    Youll find that if you understand the patterns you're using in JS, you can apply them to many other languages. Other languages will have different syntaxes and maybe slightly different patterns, but you can always apply what you know, which will make it easier to add more languages to your arsenal.

    You'll feel like you have no idea what you're doing for a long time, but all the while you have picked up a ton of knowledge and experience that you will still probably discount. Just be eager to learn and don't sell yourself too short.

  • Ok let's see. A quick google indicates that there are 76,811,305 pet dogs in the united states. A forbes article estimates there are 4.5 million dog bites per year, and about 800,000 of those require any sort of medical attention, and 30-50 of those are fatal. According to the CDC that's about the same as annual childhood deaths from the flu

    For comparison:

    48,830 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S., according to the CDC

    Guns are also a leading cause of death in children and adolescents specifically

    or what about

    There are nearly 43,000 fatal [vehicle] crashes a year [in the US]

    Also consider the positive effects of having a pet, which is proven to increase happiness

    Then you also have to consider that many dog bites and attacks happen due to strays (~15% according to that same Forbes article), provocation, negligence, or abuse. The average family, if they are remotely dog literate, has very little to worry about. It seems to me a fear or hatred of these animals stems from ignorance, as does hatred and fear of many things.

  • YNAB is a glorified spreadsheet and did not import past data. I found it exceedingly tedious and not helpful. I am currently using Monarch and it's far, far better. It's a bit pricey, but so far as I've found, it's the best.

    They give you a link that allows others to try monarch for 30 days (rather than their egregiously short trial of like 7 days):

    I get a discount if you buy after the trial, but there's no need.

    I'll have to check out lunch money too

  • Weed can certainly be addictive or cause dependency. That is a fact. I do not think painting weed as something innocent is helpful because people think it's a "safe" choice. It's simply harmful in different ways. It's better than a myriad of other drugs, but we should not lose sight of its drawbacks. FWIW I feel compelled to smoke daily.

  • Weed is personality warping too. Granted it's better than alcohol and won't make you violent, but it can sap your energy, motivation, cause memory issues, and even alter/damage brain chemistry especially in younger people whose brains are not done developing.

  • Instances could probably find ways to be ad supported or creators could do 3p sponsorships or ads in videos. Not everyone has to chip in to everything they subscribe to. It's still impossibly hard compared to youtube though.

    e: what about opt-in ads (banner or otherwise) for channels you want to support? could be cool

  • And you can hook in fzf to it to get a proper list of previous commands all fuzzy matched!! Oh-my-zsh just requires adding fzf to your plugins list (:

    I survived for years with just https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions which is similarly great, but fills a slightly different role. Just start typing and you'll see a faded preview of the most recent command matching & u ctrl+f to autocomplete it. Is gr8

    e: clarified what zsh-autosuggest does

  • Exactly. We only know they aren't being fully forthcoming. We don't know the reasons and can only infer. The BBC stopped short of drawing conclusions and merely fact checked the statements they were given. ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Why can't that be an additional gun they found? Maybe it was rearranged for camera? The BBC segment did not make any hard claims just that the evidence was suspect. You can draw your own conclusions but you can't say the BBC outright made this claim. Don't trust the IDF blindly, but I have to approach reporting on the conflict this way to stay sane. Too many people spewing nonsense, misinformation, and propaganda (not u specifically).
