They can reach me in another way if it’s important, or just wait a damn minute till I get back. The day my boss called me over and over while I was on the crapper (thinking I was ignoring him ???) was the end of that app on my phone.

I removed that shit from my phone, it’s so nice to be unreachable when not at my desk.

I think the line of thinking is when you’re struggling, resisting temptations that cross moral lines has a greater impact on your life. You get to make these decisions all the time and it’s a lot easier to make the moral choice if you’re financially secure.

That’s ‘truthy’

It is good for the programmer to know how the computer operates, as well.

When they go low, start stomping the fuckers

Aziz! LIGHT!

But not everyone is known for it…

I feel like if one tried to follow all of these “rules” at all times nothing would get done, at all.

I learned everything I know about c# by looking it up on Google, copy and paste is king. Just keep working with it until you can make sense out of the code you’re copying. An llm would work similar but might feed you bs, everything you’ll want to know is on stack overflow. You’re unlikely to have an original, unasked question…I never have.

Check out this reference (not mine): https://gist.github.com/DanielKoehler/606b022ec522a67a0cf3

The first difference that I would point out is c# use of static typing, where python is dynamic. This author is using the var keyword to avoid specifying a type for variables. The type is, instead infered by the code that follows the equals sign.

The next main difference is the use of whitespace. Python is very whitespace aware, it uses indentation and line breaks to organize code. C# is whitespace agnostic in most cases and separates blocks of code using curly braces {…}, statements must end with a semicolon;

In C# collections are organized by how the data is accessed and whether elements can be added or removed. Arrays are initialized with a set of items and can’t be made longer, a List can be added to and can be removed. The key point is that all items in a collection are of the same type.

Complex objects (that have properties and methods) can be structs, classes, or records but they all basically do the same thing and interact in the samish way. You have to use the new keyword to make a new instance.

Classes and records can inherit from another where as structs cannot. Properties must have a type, methods must return a type or void. Method parameters must be typed, when calling a method the provided parameters must be of the proper type.

An interface describes requirements an implementing class, record or stuct must meet (i.e. properties and methods). You can’t make a new interface, it’s more of a qualification.

I hope this helps some

since being a person can fully be described by being a mother

Can you explain how this is?

They don’t want to have to hide who they are, make up lies, etc. They are demanding the right to be who they are. I think it’s great.

It’s part of a larger trend of social media blackouts, this is bad because it lets the wealthy control our discource in the furtherance of their oligarchic aims.

Because he had the day off, then came in anyway presumably because they called him in?

I absolutely agree we shouldn’t give up on any political fronts. I just want people to understand that we can’t count on it, a page has turned… Anyway thanks for the chat.

There are not enough, by far. At this point (thanks to scotus) we’ll need a new constitution just to reclaim democracy.

That is all without considering what Trump is likely to cause in his second term. Scotus has ruled that a sitting president cannot, officially break the law. That is not a Republic. Scotus has ruled that money is speech, and so our positions on issues have less (/no) value. That is not democracy.

I’m not trying to be a doomer, just realistic.

I want to take away their power to exploit people.

They don’t want that. They control Congress and the courts. It can’t be done through proper channels because we already lost our Republic. They won’t give it up without a fight.

Yell “Jump!”

Ok, I’m in for $2 /month too, thanks for setting the standard!
