Yea, for a novelty account sometimes I kinda just say stuff then regret it

Shit, we own the private sector. Or they own us, I can never remember

Yea, they take up too much funding that could be used for other orgs!

Doing alright, how you doing?

You and me both

Hehe, yea, I was poking fun at the “engineer”. There was a congressman a while ago that got caught posting right wing stuff on twitter from an alt account “as a black man” (dude was white of course”

You do realize asshole Republicans reverted before it could be more than implemented on a couple of highways

“Metric supporters argued the road signs were a crucial step in helping Americans get over any psychological blocks to switching measurement systems. But Republican Charles Grassley, then a congressman and now a senator from Iowa, killed proposed federal regulations that would have forced states to put up signs in kilometers.”

They literally locked putting up signs in both metric an Imperial

Also… remember my comment about old fucks raised on gas lead fumes…. Yea, the 70s……

Lol, that sounds very much “as a black man”

I’ll tell you, most of us in the states would love a total switch to metric. We use it where is matters most, but we also have an aging population raised on lead has fumes that think anything they don’t know is “communism” or “wholeness” or whatever else the propaganda right spews. Those are the assholes that pretty much stop progress on anything.

I’m big into 3D printing, actually got into the same argument with another 3D printing guy…. And I’m like, literally EVERYTHING we do is in metric. The whole damn hobby is metric.

I hate humanity

You can write fully functional code in C#! I pretty much made the switch over and it works great

We could never ignore you bro!

This. I love me some python, but it’s so unstructured (and by that I mean more how the structure is based off spacing), I actually think it makes it harder to learn vs. easier.

“Bracket” languages let the learner get a feel for when a piece of logic ends, which I think is important to learn at first. Also, C type languages, ESPECIALLY C#) are everywhere, depending on the field you end up specializing in you probably have a 90+% chance of needing to know one of these languages.

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with python, but I think the easiness of it actually works against learning to code (imho)

It’s a genuinely nice language with tons of syntactic sugar. It’s fast, flexible and runs everywhere. Honestly my favorite language.

Other nice things about it is you can write object oriented code as well as functional style with it, so it even handles the style of code you prefer which is a lot harder to do with other languages. Finally it’s open source but also has deep pockets behind it so the language is constantly being pushed forward.

Hehe baby steps!

I got you fam

Free course, C# is a genuine pleasure to work in/learn. Runs in all OS environments, and is probably the most modern “general” language

Only way to learn is to start learning

Ahh yes, the little Bobby tables rule
