Well, if there is nof fixed (explicit or implicit) type it’s imposible for the compiler to optimise your code. Also imho programming with typed languages is way easier because your IDE can recognize function argumentd before you compile/run. I tried python and found it baffling how anyone can get any work done with it :D

How does zypper compare to apt?

Kinda shitty?

Be more like Wil, less like Wesley.

We are trying to solve computer/rocket-age problems with a caveman brain. If we don’t start genetic engineering humans soon i’d wager we’ll eradicate ourselves before we colonize other planets and stars.

First time i’ve heard of it. I’ve just checked it out looks like it’ll be my new goto-site, thanks :)

Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?

I use library genisis. Great for scientific papers and adequate for fiction.

I always thought plastic just melts.

I’d say time well spent. Good job! :P

Bonk !!

I guess they unionised :D

You mean the culture of reporting and talking about it, right?

You might be interested in projects like https://openhab.org, or https://mycroft.ai

I have tinkered with mycroft in the past and it was kinda finnicky at the time, but overal a great idea(an assistant like google or alexa but privacy oriented). A colleague of mine uses openhab for everything but security(his wife objected to that lol).

For starters i’d recommend some single board computer like the a raspberrypi, a speaker and a microphone and maybe try one of these (https://www.electromaker.io/blog/article/9-best-raspberry-pi-smart-home-software-options) out yourself.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

What did no do?

“So you don’t want do go out with a boom?”

My understanding of history is that most improvements in living standarts have been bought by violence or the threat of it against the ruling class (yes, i guess you could call me a commie).

Though i also feel like it is a bit of a dice roll. Kinda like rerolling a dice and hoping you get a higher number. The higher your starting number the higher the chance you end up with a lower number. Does that make sense to anyone or have i completely detached from reality here? :D

The one first things i was gifted when i moved out was a propper tea pot. I don’t know what i’d do without it :D
