  • I’d do it differently.

    I would fund a massive advertising campaign preaching equality, fairness, and cooperation

    I would use the tax system to weaken the cycle of intergenerational wealth (the ultra wealthy spend borrowed money which is settled by their estate on death; I would tax bequests to banks; I would tax inheritances above a pretty high limit.

    It would take time. The aim would be to have a much more level wealth distribution








  • So it’s big and diverse ecosystem with multiple standards to choose between

    The problem isn’t that it’s missing something like cpan, it’s that there are ten incompatible ones to choose between

    Remind me not to learn python. If I get into microcontrollers I shall use their C++ like language not micropython ;)

    I really like the ability to dig up code from twenty years ago and just run it







  • I had a boring job years ago. We didn’t have web access in the office, we did have a typing tutor program

    I could already type

    So I decided to learn to type again

    So now I type on a dvorak layout except for the first login where I must use qwerty. About the time the password expires and must be changed I get to the point where it’s muscle memory in both layouts





  • Does python not require you to include your libraries? How can the runtime environment not tell you “you used whatever library but whatever library isn’t installed” is it then hard to find the library? Does python not have anything like perl’s cpan to consolidate all libraries? Can’t you just grep for the libraries a project calls and loop over the results adding that library to the build environment?
