I’ve written code before in some hardware-specific languages before (I think it was for programming a stepper motor or something?) that used = for both assignment and comparison. If I recall correctly, the language was vaguely C-like, but assignment was not permitted in the context of a comparison. So something like if( a = (b+c) ) would not assign a value to a, it would just do the comparison.

Imagine saying these operators out loud.

> is “is greater than”

So it makes sense to use >= as “is greater than or equal to”

You’d think = would be “is equal to”, but it’s already used for “set equal to” (i.e., assignment).

So what symbol do we use for “is equal to”? The symbol used in many programming languages is ==, so Python chose to follow that convention.

It’s worth noting that there are other languages that use = as “is equal to”, and use something else for assignment (like := for example). It just comes down to the history of the language and what conventions the original authors decided to use.

Is there a KVM switch out there

Not that I’ve found. I have a similar setup (Thunderbolt dock with two monitors and two laptops). I think the single dock solution is enough for most people, so there’s not much financial incentive for people to make a bigger KVM switch.

2 workstations

Depends entirely on your expected use case. Would having two different PCs active at once be helpful for you? I don’t imagine it would be cheaper, but depending on your machine specs and desired performance, it could end up being cheaper (than having a dock that supports 4 displays and ensuring all your PCs can handle that through one port).

I usually move static assignments outside the DHCP range, but in general, most routers will avoid re-allocating it even if it’s within the DHCP range.

I hope someday to have as much self confidence as someone who lists a “slightly shat” chair for $75.

Oh, there’s a storm alright

Linux users be like

Easy access to a few key functions is nice, IMO. Though helping someone on their computer and seeing half the taskbar occupied with two dozen system tray icons makes me vomit just a little, so I get it.

When your mom says you’re not getting out of cleaning this time…

“Yeah, but my PC doesn’t handle it well. If my PC were upgraded, it could really gen some AI.”

I wish I could, but cameras are restricted :/

My office has two ping pong tables. They’re literally roped off with caution tape, and nobody is allowed to use them. I wish I were kidding.

Javascript is all about them boollikes (or as we sometimes call them, booleish).

In zero-based indexing, zero is #1.

Nah, I name all my variables after my homies.
