Fair point

I f’ing love emacs, but don’t get cocky. It’s a security disaster.

Well, if you use any packages fetched from the net anyway.

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard effectively the same core joke but better composed. Can’t remember it though because at best it’s middling funny.

Things is you don’t crunch numbers in Python code, you do that in libraries called from Python.

It’s a few statements of orchestration and any heavy lifting is encapsulated compiled code.

You don’t do tight loops on Python, or if you do you’re using it wrong.

Master’s degrees though — racist as fuck.

Golang is technical debt in language form. A language that gained limited and now sagging popularity, for good reason. I hate to work in Java but hate golang more. It’s the lightsaber of programming languages. I’ve got shit to do, give me blasters and all the rest. And I’m not interested in wanking myself off about how I did it all with channels.

I use it all the time for the variable brightness flashlight and screen-as-light-source. Also sun and moon info, asteroid alerts.

And there’s a bunch of stuff that’s potentially very useful. Making a live map from a map image sounds very interesting, e.g. with a historical map.

Meshtastic is fully dominant in user numbers, but is fundamentally broken by design for what most people actually want to use it for, which is a distributed zero infrastructure communication network. As soon as numbers rise it is crushed by the weight of its own administrative traffic. Also, it’s way too easy to set nodes up as ROUTER nodes, which crushes the mesh and swallows traffic ironically.

Linux does use Python syntax… in Python.

In Bash though, it uses Bash syntax.
