  • C is full of complex paradigms and low level details that are great if you’re learning computer architectures, but pretty bad if it’s your first languages.

    Python in the other hand is great to learn programming practices and for quick, non-optimized, easy scripts. I think it’s less suited for more complex projects, but that’s another thing. I honestly fon’t think it’s a great language, but it’s easy to use and has pretty much a library for everything, that’s why I think it’s good to start and for simple things.

    Java is also quite high level, so also good for beginners, but I’ve never used it so I don’t know how easy is to setup (python is) and how easy it is to download dependencies (on python it is).

    For your case I would say Python is best.



  • I’ve known a bunch of them and I think their ideology is fine on the surface, but full of small contraddictions, for example:

    • they believe freedom is the utmost important thing, but their freedom is always threatened so they always should do what they do want, even if that limits other people freedom. For example: I should not be forced to pay taxes if I don’t want to because noone should be forced to pay for a “service”, it should always be a choice (but if my country gives me healthcare without paying taxes, I should also use the service). However, things like paying tolls for private highway is also bad, because one should be able to go wherever they want withou paying.
    • they don’t believe in “rights” as anything imposed from the top is bad. If a category is persecuted (black people, gays, whatever) they should not be protected, but fight on their own
    • according to them, in true capitalism, free market is perfect and the most just, and monopolies will not never happen, now they do only because laws allow them to “manipulate” the market.
    • they often spiral down alt-right conspiracies theory with a libertarian flavour, like a deep-state working hard to limit even more your freedom, or everything even remotely “politically correct” (even things like protection against protection against being fired because you are homosexual) is woke propaganda and also aimed to limit your freedom.

    That’s my experience with a few tens of people, so I don’t know if that’s representative of the whole community, bu my own little consipracy theory is that libertarianism as I know it was crafted by the US alt-right to subtly manipulate people into fascism, the premises are all there: hatred for the current state, bigotry, extreme victimism, a willingness to strip down thenselves of hard-fought rights and a hustle/grinding mentality to slave yourself down to work and enrich other people



  • • host my own opem-source software to stay independent from big tech and save my privacy (also it’s a lot of fun) • not let anyone tell me how to live my own life. You think smart working is lazy? I’m not woring for you. You think I’m weird because I don’t conform to your ideas? Don’t care. I know my worth and respect myself • learn, learn and learn new stuff. It’s nice and convenient (and usually cheaper) to have people do stuff for you, but for the most important things, it’s important that you can do them yourself, if there’s an emergency • looking forward to be self-employed. This is still a work in progress…













  • I think that even the best writer in the world cannot find a satisfying reveal of 10 years worth of secrets build-up.

    I think the final was the perfect balance between tying all the loose ends and not fully explaining what the island is. (Or rather, they did in some way, they just left some bits to the imagination).

    And to everyone thinking that the finale makes it so the entire previous seasons did not happen, sorry but you just didn’t get it.



  • Man, you know why you’re getting downvoted so much? Your comments fall of as EXTREMELY egocentric.

    It’s like right-wing people are going around imitating me to confuse people or something.

    On the internet, you are not special, just one of the many billions of usernames around. It’s not that right wingers are imitating you, the problem is that so often someone will make a post like yours saying “I get banned so often, this place is impossible”, and when people ask what they did to get banned, they’ll receive some vague bullshit answers like “for saying the truth” or “for any word I speak”, then you see their history and they say the most hateful, racist or mysoginist thing you can think of and they’ll act as the most persecuted of victims. It appears you are doing the same, even if that’s not your intention.

    I don’t want to be associated with a place that says “fill out an application and wait to be approved.”

    You are on the internet man, if people don’t do that, spam happens and instances get flooded with bots trolling everything until they shut down. If you don’t want to “be approved” you won’t have an account anywhere. Deal with it.

    I’m not trying to insult you, just trying to help you, because it looks like you are slightly oblivious to how you present yourself.
