  • Nicollo Vé - Is the Linux Community too Elitist? [video]

    Jump

  • Most niche communities are full of people that desperately want people to participate in their hobby. Linux despite being a relative underdog is not actually a niche community. Even so, the majority of people are kind and accommodating, but it only takes 1 out of 10 interactions being negative for someone to label a community as toxic, even if that interaction is basically "use the existing resources in the sidebar"

  • Incredibly useful

  • You seem to think I'm saying python shouldn't be used at when all I said was it increases development time for projects at scale.

  • Good thing python only gets used for small stuff then /s

    MAGA YouTuber/agitator Nick Shirley is forced out of a protest by community members in Portland, OR. snipers on a nearby building then flash the protestors with their laser aiming modules.

  • Oh cool snipers at protests. Totally normal respect for free speech and not at all fascist

  • People underestimate the cost of testing.

    1. It has to actually happen to be effective and is something that can be dropped under time pressure where something built into the language cannot.
    2. Test code is also code that is not guaranteed to be correct, and also incurs it's own maintenance tolls

    Removing the need for entire classes of tests cases is a huge win

  • In my opinion, the biggest shortcoming of Python’s dynamic typing system is that you need to have very thorough test coverage to be sure that your code doesn’t have semantic errors

    That is a large shortcoming.

  • It minimizes greenfield development time and increases it later for anything at scale. It's the mongodb of programming languages.

  • Trusting it to have not fucked with your data while formatting it is pretty bold.

  • They are so much better than using a search engine to parse web forums and stack overflow,

    The hallucinations (more accurately bullshitting) and the fact they have to get new training data but are discouraging people from engaging in the structures that do so make this highly debatable

  • You're assuming honesty and they've earned the opposite posture.

  • Abortion rights (and everything else that was a constant campaign point for both the rs and ds) were hanging by a thread on supreme court decisions for years and years. They had decades to actually legislate them.

    1. Touche, though passing a constitutional amendment as the method is a pipe dream, and you'll have to forgive me for not really believing they mean it given how many of them are completely governed by special interests.
    2. They don't get credit for something they did 15 years ago and have completely backed off on.
    3. Ok why didn't that do that when they controlled the house? Oh yeah because it's something they only do to drive engagement and never act on when they actually have the power to.

    1. Show me in their platform where it says that. https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2024-Democratic-Party-Platform.pdf
    2. Show me in their platform where it says they still support that. Show me any recent serious party wide efforts. Show me in kamala harris' 2024 platform.
    3. You don't have to pass constitutional amendments to pass laws. They could introduce bills even if they don't pass and campaign on them.

    They do the bare minimum to trick people like you into thinking they give a single fuck about you. I'm sorry, but that don't. The Democrat party is owned by wealthy interests that unlike the Republicans are smart enough to give the working class enough crumbs to keep society from collapsing, but that's not enough to energize people to vote anymore because life just keeps getting harder and harder for the average American even when they're in charge.

    All that isn't to say that people shouldn't vote for a corporate dem when it's that or a republican, but you're completely blind if you can't see that there are real problems with the party that are contributing to their losses.

  • They propose removing money from politics, taxing the rich, paying for everybody’s healthcare including dental, and enshrining bodily autonomy rights in law.

    some of them propose some of that some of the time.

    1. Removing money from politics is not a party goal.
    2. The party was never behind m4a, just some individuals
    3. they've never attempted to enshrine bodily autonomy rights in law even when they were in power. They just campaign on it then forget as soon as the election ends.
