Different people prefer different nomenclature, but the generally accepted standard has switched from native American a couple decades ago to American Indian now. IIRC the change happened because calling people natives sometimes seems synonymous with calling them primitive. Most US tribal groups use American Indian now

I needed a better organization tool to keep track of tasks and todos, and I read about org mode on lemmy. I ended up following this tutorial and then building my own templates once I understood everything. It’s fantastic now that I have it a little customized, makes it so quick and easy to keep notes.

I switched from vim to emacs a couple weeks ago specifically for org mode and it has legit changed the way I work.

Not disagreeing with you at all, you made a pretty good point. But when engineering the prompt takes 80% of the effort that just writing the essay (or code for that matter) would take, I think most people would rather write it themselves.

This was a great read, thanks for sharing!

My favorite is when he got caught masturbating in public and responded with “If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly.” Or when Plato was teaching a class and defined a man as a featherless biped, and Diogenes brought a plucked chicken to the class and said “Behold, Plato’s man!”

I imagine they thought it might sound better coming from a person of Jewish faith rather than from an 81 year devout catholic.

I like exploring old buildings like churches and hotels. I feel like architecture has been optimized so much to fire codes that most modern buildings have pretty boring layouts. But older buildings are completely batshit in their designs sometimes. Like woah there’s a second little staircase down here that goes to a single room not accessible by anywhere else, or just random little hallways to nowhere. Also secret little closets everywhere, it’s way more fun.

Truth be told I’ve never really read up on him, I only recognized the joke because they make a similar one in the movie Captain Fantastic lol

For anyone unaware, this joke references a conflation of the Spock we all know and love with Dr. Benjamin Spock, who wrote some of the most prominent books on child rearing.

Nature really showed me their downstairs mixup.

Technically not 100%, a modern study has shown that there are 8 billion people who breathe oxygen currently living!

I’ll be honest, the only reason I originally switched was because I needed to learn flask for a work thing. I didn’t really notice any major differences in performance, but it was a pretty light website at that point anyway. I do prefer flask now, but that might just be because I’ve used it more.

I started out on django and ended up switching to flask for all my python backends, but it depends on what exactly you want. Django is very hand-holdy and does some of the work of setting up new pages/routes for you, however that does put you on rails a little bit compared to flask. Flask is more performant and customizable, but it’s slightly more effort to get going in my opinion.

I loved Shogun by Clavell and I always get recommended Musashi as being a similar vibe. I’ll have to pick it up sometime

I started reading the Wool series after recently watching the Silo TV show. Pretty good so far, the world building is surprisingly fun.

One more hoopy frood who knows where their towel is!
