If both sides of you you are deadly cold or deadly hot, no amount of rotation is going to make sure it evens out.

Oopsie!

No, the “spin” thing was just to preemptively get past people who might say something like the point is so small that one side would freeze and one side would burn to a crisp. Because, you know, as humans we are not dimensionless points, lol, we have volume.

TIS-100 and Shenzhen IO both felt annoyingly limited to me in ways that Exapunks didn’t.

The reason I say “Python-like” is because that’s how their store page describes it.

Not necessarily inevitable, but it could happen. Be wary of tearing something down that works but is ugly if you don’t have a replacement for it yet.

So, if you’re brand new and want to learn concepts of how to write code, I might suggest a game. There are a lot of programming games. Obviously it’s never a one to one about learning something useful, and a lot of them even make “bad” things useful (though not bad enough to think it’s going to teach you bad habits you won’t be able to unlearn). I really enjoyed Exapunks, but it’s sort of unrealistic. The Farmer Was Replaced looks fun as well and uses a “simple Python-like” language, but I haven’t played it.

If you sort of already understand the concepts and want to dive into a real language, well, it’s hard to say what will be fun. Chase your fun. It might be easier to think about what’s not fun and avoid languages at the start that deal with that. For example, if setting up an environment to code in is the problem, then maybe something like JavaScript would be a good place to start. It runs in your browser! Press F12, click “console”, type alert("Hello, World!"), boom, done, you just did Hello World in JavaScript without downloading anything at all.

thanks for the graphic btw, that’s very useful

I’ve said this a lot in different places and the Lemmy community is so small folks might even recognize me repeating myself, but I’ll say it again here. The problem with recommending a good Discord alternative is that Discord is different things for different people. For some it’s streaming. For some it’s video calls. For some it’s voice calls. For some it’s DMs. For some it’s group servers. For some the image and video sharing is an important aspect. It’s hard to recommend a good alternative because you’ll always inevitably run into the problem of someone saying “but it doesn’t do the thing I use it for.” The reality is that folks might need to use multiple apps to meet their needs if they migrate.

If you’d skimmed the article you would’ve seen they they suggested Discourse which the author openly admits is a forum, not a chat app. But hey, that’s what some folks use Discord as.

Where do you think you are? (Yes I know this isn’t exactly a BBS.)

I mean continuous like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_function but I think you’re thinking I mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function which I do not.

There’s a spot in space where you’ll burn to a crisp because you’re too close to the sun. There’s a spot in space where you’ll freeze. Therefore there must be at least one point in space that’s a comfortable temperature.

And yes, I know there isn’t anything to hear up in space. The thing being heated would be you. And like I said, it’s probably so narrow that you’d have to be spinning so you don’t burn up on one side and freeze on the other. But mathematically, if there’s a spot where you’re too hot and another where you’re too cold and the temperature you experience between them is a continuous function then, by definition, there must be at least one point between them there’s a comfortable temperature.

I guess I need to talk about my 401k at least once before March or something.

Should’ve spelled it as excist for the bit.

Unless I’m carrying something, holding a door open for me usually just messes up my rhythm and makes me more uncomfortable from the sudden need to acknowledge a favor rather than just spacing out and walking.

“You like black girls? I love 'em!”

As someone who personally knows someone whose photo got used on r/fatpeoplehate with a fake caption, yeah, it’s very possible.

So go ahead, be a single grumpy bitch, because some men try to hit on you.

I dream that a woman would hit on me.

Probably could improve your chances by not using sexist language like bitch.

It’s probably like 98% every other week/twice a month, 1% monthly, and 1% weekly.

Given that those fees are typically meant to cover processing fees and credit cards typically offer rewards because they effectively give you a cut of the processing fee this would make sense.

I literally never said it’s even, only that if you plot it out it would be continuous instead of piecewise.

That’s amazing. I’m gonna tell my mom that, she’ll love it.
