»Wie Klima-Kleber« – Babler fordert nun Tempo 100

Reply in thread

Weiß ja jetzt nicht wie unpopulär das wirklich ist, vor allem bei jungen Wählen, aber ganz unabhängig davon versteh ich diese ends-justify-the-means Ideologie die viele SPÖler haben in letzter Zeit überhaupt nicht.

Ich glaub viele Menschen vermissen eine Partei die für eine klare und konsequente Linie steht, und auch dass Österreich das braucht, und weiß jetzt nicht wie da eine SPÖ die mit Populismus und den Positionen der FPÖ liebäugelt, nur um "wieder eine Wählerbasis zu haben" da reinpasst.

What do you think about Apple and its ecosystem? (And a little conversation I had with a colleague)

I think FOSSS shouldn't be some kind of religion, if you like Apple, great, go for it. However if you truly value privacy (while beeing better than Microsoft, Apple still collects some of your data) and freedom it certainly won't hurt to try out some alternatives. If you like them better it is a win-win situation, if not switch back.

Things you can do if you are interrested in FOSS, that don't necessary need you to change everything:

  • Try some software alternatives for programms you are using (LibreOffice instead of Word, Gimp instead of Photoshop etc.) This lets you search for alternatives.
  • Spin up a Linux VM and try it, or try to install linux on an old laptop. -And when you do that, look into KDE Connect as it offers connectivity between devices, that even Apple does not offer in some cases.
  • If you are truly into it, you can even contribute to FOSS, to make them as good as Apple products.

If I had a dollar for every time this happened, I would have $2 but it's weird that it happened twice

Yeah it is, the exact number is 25104128675558732292929443748812027705165520269876079766872595193901106138220937419666018009000254169376172314360982328660708071123369979853445367910653872383599704355532740937678091491429440864316046925074510134847025546014098005907965541041195496105311886173373435145517193282760847755882291690213539123479186274701519396808504940722607033001246328398800550487427999876690416973437861078185344667966871511049653888130136836199010529180056125844549488648617682915826347564148990984138067809999604687488146734837340699359838791124995957584538873616661533093253551256845056046388738129702951381151861413688922986510005440943943014699244112555755279140760492764253740250410391056421979003289600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Python is overrated and overused.

Reply in thread

Yeah that point was not entirely accurate. What I meant was, that a np.array and a list don't work together. Coming from julia and matlab it just does not make sense to me, why I can't use a function written for a list for a np.array even if they basically represent the exaxt same thing.

Julia for example hast linalg as a module but functions work on lists with no problem.

Yeah, ofc every language must have a type system, the problem is, that this is not enforced. I.e 3 == '3' throws no error, when working with dataframes for example this can be a pain in the ass. But yeah, I don't say that nobody should use Python (although the title is a bit dramatic) I just think that there are better alternatives out there.
