I’m quite willing to bet that 70% of the population has no clue that percentages, fractions, and decimals are the same thing.

R and tidyverse is really amazing, the syntax is so natural I rarely need to check the docs on anything to quickly do basic data transformation/plotting. Definitely more intuitive than pandas (and I learnt that first).

Lmao, it’s funny how most of these use cases rarely stray from the stereotype of ‘I can’t spend an hour focusing on something and learn so I’ll take a shortcut instead’.

Meanwhile at work all chatGPT has caused is misery as it makes people think they’re expert programmers now while I have to debug their shitty code. Do they learn? Nope, just repeatedly serving up slop.

It’s white phosphorus if I’m not wrong. Used for ‘spotting targets’ aka committing war crimes.

I mean, duh. There are always cheaper places to live. But nobody wants to make a 3 hour commute to where the jobs are.

RSS is in no way simple to regular normies.

Knew at least one of y’all would post this

Plotly has the most pain-in-the-ass syntax compared to ggplot2 IMHO. And that’s from a guy who uses a tonne of plotly.

Man I love factorio’s art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there’s alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don’t see that often in other games of a similar style.

Seems like a really roundabout way to do this, surely a unit test (no pun intended) would’ve been a better solution?

Westerners say ‘Jesus Christ’ in terrible situations too, it’s used in a similar way.

There are a tonne of apartment balconies that are just afterthoughts by the developer though. I see plenty that are narrow to the point of being useless, or 30 floors up with no enclosed overhang which just generally feels kinda terrifying.

Sure, easing into a deflating population over several hundred years is fine but tanking it and ending up with a society having to support a vastly older population ain’t easy either. Better for governments to provide positive reasons to have children but there’s zero chance of that.

I can second bioinformatics if you have the aptitude for biology and IT, the pay can be 10-20k higher than a similar wet lab science job. But technically the skills you have could get you paid more in pure IT (science generally pays less). Demand is high, so the barrier to entry is generally lower (no hard requirements for phd, only a bachelors minimum or work experience in a similar field). Less physical labour too. Downside is that team sizes are usually small so you’ll be doing alot of multitasking.

Yea, talk about overcomplicating a simple task.

It really puts your suspension of disbelief to the test, and all the characters are terrible. I actually thought the netflix show was better than the book because the characters were alot more relatable.

I absolutely loved Seinfeld (the show) and recently saw his stand up in person and it was absolutely terrible, it was actually pretty shocking. He’s just so incredibly unrelatable now.

Jesus this community has some of the worst jokes, I can’t believe someone wasted time illustrating this.

Or uh, idk, tax them properly and you achieve the same outcome without any killing.

Not that it’d ever happen though.

I love using Wednesdays to clear leave (I know, not the best day in terms of utility for holidays and stuff) as you essentially create a new Friday. Work is so much more bearable.
