Honestly, I picked it because I was lazy. It’s such a low maintainance machine. As for the codec, the flatpak version of VLC does it.

Yes! I second this! Not many mention of this in the wild these days.

I got openSUSE Leap. It’s stable and reliable. My complaint is that I needed to go thru all the hoops to get all the media codecs I need to play what I want.

All guns should be surrendered and destroyed en masse.

Quoting the original comment directly.

This does not say the militaries can have it.

Oh, don’t be coy. We can already smell the soil on you.

And you know who protect such society? That’s right, folks with guns!

People seem to be unaware that python has bindings for lower-level languages like C. In fact, people have been heavily using resource intensive libraries implemented in C (e.g. numpy, scipy, pandas, uwsgi).

Also, Python interpreter performance has come a long way.

Oldboy. no, not because it’s sad

There’s the Islamic calendar, which uses the lunar cycle instead of solar one. The Javanese also uses lunar calendar, but with different formula for dating.

I know there’s the Chinese calendar, which is based on lunarsolar cycle. Are they the same?

Knife does?

Which exactly proved my point. You can make your gun at home.

If you see one getting caught, imagine how many at large.

Wow, you really hit the spot right here!

Wouldn’t that be nice?

But the truth would be: someone will find a way to make guns on their own, then the rest of us would be defenseless against that.

This is the reason why militaries have nuclear weapons despite wanting peace.

This is my two cents as someone in the industry.

Because, while you don’t want to nitpick on each instruction cycle, sometimes the code runs millions of times and each microsecond adds up.

Keep in mind that people use this kind of things for work, serving real world customers who are doing their work.

Yes, the language itself is not optimal even by design, but its easy to work with, so they are making it worth a while. There’s no shortage of people who can work with it. It is easy to develop and maintain stuff with it, cutting development cost. Yes, we’re talking real businesses with real resource constraints.

Mastodon? I see a good number of artists here and there.

How about if we split you instead!

didn’t know ham is that popular around here.

I swear I thought that was Raymond Reddington.

Hell yeah!
