Which begs the question, why in the hell is that hole important enough to drill by candlelight? it couldn’t’ve waited until the next day?

Man if only that was true. A neighbor across the street is a chain smoker, and I hear him hack up a lung every morning for a couple of hours.

Yeah smoking will make you live shorter, but it’ll also reaaaally fuckin’ ruin your life leading up to that.

I mean yeah with no context that looks weird A/F, but given a couple details it’s fairly self-evident why it be like it do.

1. Python doesn’t need a main function. It’ll just start running any top level code. This is nice for beginners learning programming because there’s no scaffolding or anything to set up. It just do the thing.
2. python uses double underscores (usually called “dunder”) to mark “special” things. __name__ is a global variable containing the name of the current module. There’s a couple more like __file__ containing the filename of the current module.
3. If you run a file directly __name__ gets set to "__main__". If it got set to something more sensible like "main" you couldn’t really call a file main.py without this breaking. Right now this only breaks for files called __main__.py but luck would have it that calling a file __main__.py already has a special meaning which makes these uses not clash.
4. Sometimes you want code to only run if a module is run but not when it is imported. Checking if __name__ is set to __main__ is the easiest way to do this.

Python for sure has a bunch of weirdness, but it all does mesh together into a rather nice programming language.

Unless you’re hanging a CRT you really don’t need to bother screwing into the studs. Get the right type of plug and you can hang some pretty absurd weights from drywall, especially if most of the force is straight down like it would be with a tv mount. I really like the screw-in type plug. Easy to install, no possibility of the toggle not toggling or whatever.

If you want to mount one of those extendo-mounts I’d probably bother to screw it into the studs though, to be fair.

not if you’re killing processes the current user started.

Pingu is just in general a malcontent tbh. Not allowed to use the adult toilet? Piss on the floor. Not winning at hide and seek? Cheat. Etc etc.

It’s almost exactly like that only if the tin hat guy would turn out to be right every single goddamn time in hindsight. RMS is… a character at best, but he sure has some predictive powers.

Yeah but just imagine how good it’d feel to scratch

Honestly I’ve never had an easier time getting that sort of thing to work than on linux. As soon as there’s a font installed providing emoji pretty much any program will pick up on that. Even got a Toki Pona font working just by installing it. Now I can IRC in languages no one speaks!

Use debian testing if you want up-to-date software. The name implies it’s unstable, but it’s really not. Debian stable absurdly stable, and debian testing is regular stable.

No it isn’t. Go try it without including any of this guys code. Don’t be a troll.

Because whoever wrote this went to great lengths to make it work. It’s by no means a feature of python. It’s a feature of their code.

Prilosec presumably

Oh! In that case: absolutely nothing. Credit cards are terrifyingly insecure. Whether or not the info is on two sides or one. Any webshop you use your credit card at can just arbitrarily charge it from then on if they feel like it.

As far as I understand it the pin&chip system involves a challenge/response between the bank and the card. You can’t just “clone” the chip, because the secret data it contains is essentially write-only.

It’s really easy to make a gigantic mess using git if you don’t know what you’re doing. As soon as you learn to keep your history mostly linear all those issues go away.

Didn’t he also get kicked out of game grumps because he’s antisemitic? Got replaced by a jew too lol.
