Then you lose the benefit of tabs: you can't adjust the tab width without destroying alignment. So you end up with a confusing mix of characters for no benefit.

Mixing them is the worst option.

The rap is the best part!

Interesting!

Why not 'Empress', I wonder? Nothing actually wrong with any of the options, just rings strangely to my ears.

You're absolutely right, not sure where I thought I had read that.

Edit: It's actually a bit less clear cut when you consider new vs old style classes, which took the Python 3 discontinuity to resolve. But still, it was wrong to imply that Python didn't originally support OOP.

Have you heard the good news about our lord and savior Ruby?

Me too! Even just the fact that only false and nil are falsey is enough for me to prefer Ruby. Being able to use ||= as an idiomatic one-time initializer is rad. Python's OOP bothers me in a lot of ways compared to Ruby as well. And don't get me started on Ruby's blocks. . .

Of course, but that doesn't mean people aren't allowed to distain making that connection closer.

I don't imagine Meta is bothering to scrape Lemmy instances anyway. The signs would be pretty obvious I'd imagine.

Perhaps your parents recognized the valuable skills you were developing!

Not to use the subway, to access a payment card's complete ride history.

They did as a side product, but that's not at all the same thing as dropping the concept entirely.

Whether they need it to federate or not, it's still reasonable to not want an entity as large and powerful as Meta to consume this data. Fuck Meta because it's Meta, which has a history of being particularly heinous with user data.

Emperoratrix sounds really clunky to me, -atrix is the feminine counterpart to -ator. Imperator, dominator, navigator, etc. I'm particularly fond of the overextension that is 'alligatrix' myself.

I always answer, and I still only occasionally get spam calls. I wonder whether I'm just very lucky or if wasting their time consistently gets you put on lists of a different kind.

I use all cores for updating and still have no problems. Doesn't even make videos stutter. I think you'll find things much less heinous than they were on Xbox.

That's awesome. I suppose if you can do a trick with legs, it should be doable with fingers!

I can't imagine why someone would want both init systems; that's awesome.

LFS surely teaches more, but not by much.

Portage lets you see down into the proper guts of Linux deployment. It's much more applicable knowledge than almost any other distro. Plus, the install and maintenance teach non-specific fundamentals as well.

LFS gives a bit more learning and an utterly impractical OS for real life.

Gentoo teaches slightly less, and gives you an extremely robust and flexible OS.

LFS doesn't give you a usable system in practice though. A distribution is nothing without package management.

Gentoo gives you a thorough course in Linux fundamentals, and has lots of other benefits. Forget the mild gains of compiling for your specific CPU, it's really all about the incredible flexibility of Portage.

I use my machine all the time when its updating no problem. You can always configure portage to leave a core or two idle anyway.
