Because it participates in keeping an old laptop fast and up to date.

I can’t remember, but something negligible compared to the price of a thin laptop.

I got the power button of my laptop repaired at an electronics repair shop, you could try that. It has been running well for 8 years with Arch.

It’s also important to note that you might come out ahead in learning those abstract concepts using a harder language.

I agree that you will learn more abstract concepts with more low level languages, but they are often not necessary. See Scala, beautiful language, lot’s of fancy subtle computer science concepts, and a plummeting popularity since its main popularizer, Apache Spark, implemented a Python API.

Development environment is a mess, but given its popularity, it’s not difficult to find an up to date tutorial. Then it is the easiest I think, you will be able to try programming basics and get a minimum viable product (small web app, small analytics…) easlier than with any other language.

Some people think that because Python is the easiest language to learn, it’s going to be easy to learn programming with Python. But learning programming is still very hard, so many abstract concepts to grasp. Python just makes it a tiny less hard, almost insignificantly now that we can use an LLM to learn the syntax faster than than ever.

Good point

It seems Netflix is able to detect that spoofing, and sends this error when trying to play videos, “Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later.”. I had to disable my add-ons one by one to identify that it was User Agent Switcher causing it.

Eating your foot’s dry skin in public should help restore your balance.

I’m glad that there’s no micro transactions nor loot boxes.

Not even to spend good times with friends?

How do you agree on a meeting time with a group of people who all live in different places of your country?

That’s a good idea! Instead of discrete timezones, let’s have continuous timezones!

Are you one of those rare developers who spend most of their day actually coding?

Absolutely insane how much quicker it is too do stuff with vim motions than ctrl-shift-arrows and the like

Those tasks are a very small part of work time, so most people don’t feel the need to optimize it.

A lot of straw man arguments. Overall, I think we agree on the value of open source.

Personally, I prefer to have my monitor at 45° because I like to follow the 3 courses “service à la Russe” code structure. The entrée and the desert of my code are light and short, while the main course in the middle has the longest lines.
