  • Python!

  • You're absolutely right, and I noticed it as well, but I already had some upvotes. Also, I'm a lazy fuck and didn't want to do another one.

  • Python!

    Jump

  • People like to use it for AI, data science, machine learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, ..) and even scientific stuff (SciPy, SymPy, AstroPy). So it seems to be the right tool for some jobs, which is all that matters. Your job may be something entirely different and that's absolutely fine.

    (And no, I don't use Python either.)

  • The tariffs are being paid by Americans. Why is that a surprise?

    Jump

  • Being lumped in with other people? That's how things work, dear Americans.

    Just ask my German grandpa who got executed for trying to avoid fighting for the Wehrmacht and who is still being called a Nazi soldier by the world because he happened to be on the wrong side of history.

  • If they had "less suffering", they would think everything is fine and dandy and their dipshit in chief does a fantastic job. They have been conditioned to ignore reality. They won't listen to any arguments, they'll just call them fake news. Been there, done that.

    After years and years of having tried to reach these people with reason, it's time they got a reality check, even if suffering is what it takes.

  • Far Beyond the Road

  • I think water polo is a bit cruel to the horses.

  • Substack promoted a Nazi blog again

    Jump

  • As a German it's completely mind boggling to me that some societies tolerate an ideology that is responsible for plunging the world into its biggest humane catastrophe (so far), for the sake of free speech. Nazi ideology wants to kill free speech. If you truly want to protect free speech, you have to at least limit it to all the things that do not threaten it.

  • What do country names (ones you are affiliated with or know of) mean in their own language?

    Jump

  • This is a Deutschland. It's a Land that deutschs.

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    Jump

  • I live in Berlin. I can go shopping for groceries, head back home, cook a meal using those groceries and eat within one hour of home office lunch break.

  • All of IT in one image

    Jump

  • Nothing. But that kid used it inside a coworking space.

    Jump

  • I'm an old fuck and I started to code in the late 80s. Fast forward 30 years, I once had to work at a WeWork. One day, directly outside of my small office space, I swear to god, a fucking hipster kid with a Macbook under his arm practiced skateboard moves. That was the exact moment I started hating working in IT. It's also what I think every Javascript coder looks and acts like.

  • What does 1000€ buy you in your favourite hobby?

    Jump

  • I would probably buy a really nice Pechauer pool cue. Or another premium brand as quality equipment is pretty important for pool players.

  • Why make it complicated?

  • As a European brought up free from any kind faith or religion, it can sometimes be tough to decide which level of religious extremism is worst, that in the US, Israel or the Iran.

  • I've started working in IT over 20 years ago. In my humble opinion, one of the keys is being specialized on something that not everyone else can do. Become proficient in a certain area - devops, quality assurance, security, whatever.

    On top of that, try and acquire a niche skill that makes you the type of employee that's hard to find and replace. For example, banks are really desperate to find Cobol experts because most of those are pensioners now.

    I know it's tough, and I wish you had it as easy as I did back in the days, but it's all I can tell you, unfortunately.

  • Well, also the fact that all variables are non-nullable by default anyway.
