You die twice. One time when you stop breathing, and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody damns your soul for the last time.

  • Black tea refers to the visible degree of oxidation of the tea leaves

    Makes sense

    grapes are called that because they produce white (clear) liquid

    Even if it produced indisputably white liquid. Why not call it after its own color while tea is named after the color of its processed leaves?

    You’d expect tea which is thought of as a drink to be known for the color of the liquid, and grapes often eaten as is to be named after their color.

    But it doesn’t really matter, any of these could’ve been named after whichever color they were at any point of their making / preparation. It’s not like there’s a convention or something






  • Yeah, that’s the solution I asked about (last line of my question). I was just trying to make sure that this is ok and won’t tangle up my code later on.

    I’m not sure why you’re using as to make the module name longer? Usually, if I use it at all, I use it make things shorter. Anyway, once you’ve imported dep2, you can call dep2.some_fn().

    That was just for the example (clarifying order of import). The actual code has imports such as from src.formatter import Formatter as fmt; always making the name shorter.

    Thanks for the suggestions







  • it feels like a “web app” more than a website. Like, it somehow needs to “load” after loading the page… unlike classic forum softwares that just instantly show the pre-rendered page.

    I kind of like this behavior. If you’re writing a complex website with user posts, comments, tags, and other nifty stuff and want it to stay modular it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll end up with this loading behavior (unless you want to SSR everything).

    ui also feels way too ‘simple’, hard to navigate and has low info density. i guess this is how more people nowadays prefer things to work

    Don’t know about that, I find it easy to navigate with the consistent sidebar elements. Searching for posts is easy since they’re usually well tagged and have good titles. Searching for solutions and checking out community contributions and votes is about 90% of my use case for a forum. Maybe you have different use cases.



  • There are always problems with the global menu widget on Plasma. And recently it has been refusing to work as a single button, instead I have to switch to showing all options as separate buttons which looks terrible with my panel setup.

    Also applications making packages that could have easily been optional, required, just because users will think the app has broken functionality otherwise. KDE Plasma handles this best by replacing setting pages in the setting app with a note with instructions and showing normal warnings in other apps.
