So i started using #python this year. Yeah, yeah, i'm late to the party, i know.

But i'm still kinda suspicious about the widespread usage of python. The language isn't really my favourite, but the ecosystem is huge.

I still hold my stance that python isn't really suited for bigger applications or stuff that requires even the least amount of perf, but it's a wonderful tool to quickly hack stuff that must run once or must be super flexible.

I’m having one of those days where there’s a list of things I’d *like* to get done, but each one requires something else to be done to make room first. And then I found that the cat puked down the wall, which required three other things to be cleaned/moved in order to get to that wall.

On the plus side: a lot of stuff has been getting done; however, I now need a vacation from this staycation.

Dear companies: Thank you for providing easy opt-out links for your bullshit emails.

PS: FUCK YOU for defaulting users to opt-in to bullshit marketing emails that nobody ever wants in the first place without notifying users that they will be receiving this shit in their inbox.

PSS: Thank you for including a "Cancel Account" link in your profile management page. I will CERTAINLY make use of it. (Looking at you Lyft and Doordash)

When you finish up at a client and open the app to your favourite take out place in their city and try to order yourself something for pick up... And the app keeps saying "cannot add this to your order" for every item... And you just want to go edit their code for them and fix it.
Had to call and speak to a human. Much worse experience. Sigh.

#Ohio #Politics #Rant

I received an infographic from Ohio Roundtable, a political action group under the umbrella of the extremist propaganda zealots American Policy Roundtable, listing the text of a bill scheduled to be on the Nov ballot here in Ohio, with a reminder to "share this with everyone you know".

m'kay. American Policy Roundtable out of Strongsville Ohio and a corporate office in Medina Ohio appears to be an extremist xian organization ran by David Zanotti, Rob Walgate, Melanie Elsey, and others (at least as per their website), and while this is the first I've heard of them, they appear to use pathetic propaganda techniques to muddy people's thoughts in an attempt to convince them that their twisted, disconnected version of reality is gospel.

Oh, they probably meant "spread the bill".... ok, this is a short but super important bill aimed to prevent the government from interfering with sexual and reproductive rights of Ohioans. IANAL, but since they were nice enough to include the full text of the bill, I skimmed through it and nothing looks out of the ordinary to me, so I'll be voting FOR this amendment to pass.

.... oh, or did they mean to share their scribbles on the paper to illustrate their concerns?

Well they seem to take exception that this bill is all-inclusive with the text "Every individual" without mention of age or gender. I find this odd for them to point out because yes, of course we want it to be all inclusive. It _does_ mention one's own reproductive decisions, including but not limited to contraception and fertility treatment. These two aren't limited to one gender or another, so yeah, it just makes sense that it's ensuring _everyone's_ rights.

They also seem to take issue that age is never mentioned, as everyone means EVERYONE. Another weird concern; if this group wants to believe that a clump of cells deserve full human rights, why would a 17 year old girl not also deserve full human rights?..... seems woefully inconsistent, almost like they don't actually give a fuck what happens to children. Doesn't sound very "family values oriented" to me.

Maybe the piece of information they want shared is their unawareness of science and the scientific method. "evidence-based" has a note to "undefined" for some reason, because scientific evidence is a foreign concept to them? Similarly, the term "fetal viability" seems to thoroughly confuse them, despite the definition of such being listed in the text of the bill. Again however, this is a medical/scientific term, so it's not surprising that it escapes their zealot-indoctrinated minds.

Anyway I could continue as they have a LOT of scribbles, but their sad antics aren't worth wasting anymore of your time. Thanks for watching, and I'll go back to my usual technology-oriented posts now.

Immer der gleiche Text, zuwenig Nachfrage, sie bräuchten mind. 10 Kinder.

Wie erwartet müssen wir also mal wieder improvisieren und hoffen dass die Fr. Doktor die letztes Mal Off-Label geimpft hat dieses mal auch wieder den Erwachsenenimpfstoff in kleinerer Dosierung gibt.

Still can't believe that the SVG arc path command is unable to draw a full circle/ellipse. And all the solutions I have seen were like "just put the second point at like 2Pi - 0.0001". Why should I leave a hole for the resolution independent vector graphic format? So I just split the arc up into parts so they can do the full turn. As if working with angles isn't annoying enough already #rant #programming #svg #vectorGraphics

Ahhhh ich drehe durch! Seit 20 Minuten suche ich nach einer Tastatur für meinen Arbeitsplatz-PC. Ich brauche eine einfache, kabelgebundene mechanische Tastatur mit blauen MX Keys. Mehr nicht! Keine Gaming-Tastatur (wo allein wegen „Gaming“ 20€ draufgeschlagen werden), keine programmierbaren Tasten und DEFINITIV KEIN FUCKING RGB!!!!!
Wieso ist das so schwer zu finden?

Nastavuji teď něco v Azure a při vytváření úložiště jsem narazil na několik rozhodnutí, která se pro daný objekt nedají později změnit.

Když nevím, co vše to rozhodnutí má za důsledky, tak se dostanu několikrát do stavu, kdy vše smažu a jdu znova. Někdy je potřeba ještě čekat než je to jméno znova volné. 🙄

Terraform & spol. znám, ale když tu věc teprve zkoumám, tak preferuji GUI, které mě má vést (a tady GUI funguje celkem v pohodě).

Der #Jositsch nervt schon jetzt einfach nur. Warum sollte der #Bundesrat werden? Bitte verhindert das ihr National- und StänderätInnen. Danke.

Bis zur letzten Bundesratswahl hatte ich das Gefühl, dass er eigentlich ein ganz passabler #Politiker ist. Dann haben sein Ego und sein Geltungsdrang übernommen. Seit da kann ich den Typ nicht mehr ausstehen.

Warum in drei Gottes Namen wurde die Funktion zum Einfügen von Hyperlinks im Gutenberg Editor so verhunzt? Wer dachte den: "Hey, lass uns einbauen, dass die Leute einen extra Schritt machen müssen, um Zusatzfunktionen zu aktivieren, die man früher sofort hatte!" 😫

So now i understand the presence

They indicate where zones of least resistance
will, in all likelihood, deposit failing roofs and

gone rapidly out of fashion. Is this the last

To get an apartment , you get a background check, need a large down payment & a waiting period. None of these are done for guns. This sentence explains why we have a homelessness and gun problem in America.
