It would be confusing and weird if “=” did different things depending on the context.
That's why I'm confused! It seems like it does!
If I were to write the code
x = 20
print(x*2)
it would execute as 40.
But then the video turns around and says that == is equal to, not =.
I think what I'm most confused about is I cannot for the life of me seem to wrap my head around the difference between "assignment" and "equality". They seem exactly the same to me: when a variable is assigned a value, it's equal to that value now.
Even if I were write the program
x = 20
print(x*2)
it would still print 40. Because x is equal to 20. Because it was assigned the value of 20.
Hell, I've even heard Dr. Severance say "equal to" in this context in earlier videos multiple times.
Twitter is the only time I will ever be okay with deadnaming.
Ah, fair enough. Lol. I was hoping you were making a Fallout: New Vegas reference. Haha.
Ave, true to Caesar.
Yes, it saddens me greatly to see how far Reddit had degraded. It was an amazing place back then. Then, again, I suppose the whole Web has changed. It's much more compartmentalized now, and even worse, much more corporatized. Walled gardens, echo chambers, the whole nine yards.
Yes, there were echo chambers even back then, but it wasn't as...well, I guess the word I would choose is "sanitized". It was free-er, whatever that word have meant. Honestly, I feel sad when I hear people say the Internet is magical. Because yes it can be from time to time, but they don't know or remember or care that it used to be so much MORE magical.
The Internet used to be Leeroy Jenkins; now's Leeroy's gone and it's just a rich executive in a suit trying to peddle the newest software as a service. :(
This.
It's something that I had to learn, coming from Reddit, too, and is a difficult paradigm shift to process: the fact that there is no "Lemmy" more than there are, rather, "Lemmys".
Also, as a (now former) Reddit user for the longest time (>10 years), I daresay that the diversity of opinions is honestly more similar to how Reddit used to be, in terms of there being VASTLY different communities and therefore VASTLY different sets of beliefs from community to community. Reddit may be a lot more homogenized now, but back in, say, 2010? It was way more diverse. Closer to how Lemmy is now.
though, my understanding is that the opposition to clotheslines is a mostly US thing. Especially in places where the weather is warm year-round.
That's fair. I'm not personally knowledgeable about said rules; I just thought I'd point out those couple things.
(specifically its the HOA’s because HOA’s are the devil.)
Agreed. I would say they need to go fuck themselves with a cactus, but really now. What did the cactus ever do to deserve that?
19 states have some form of “right to dry” legislation, most of which would protect drying on patio space.
Two points which I would like to interject here:
OP (of either the post or comment above) may not be in the United States, and
Even if they are, there are 50 states and 1 capital district. That means those 19 states only make up roughly a third of the United States. Odds are they are not in one of them.
Were you, uh...gonna respond? I assumed you were asking for information in good faith.
Edit: ...Very well. Good day to you. nod
Well for one, that a "brony" is just someone who enjoys the show "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". Nothing more, nothing less. We are not, essentially, perverted. I mean, sure, some people are, but how's that any different than any other human subgroup?
On top of that, if you've never seen the show, even just 3 episodes, I would highly recommend it. Because even if you don't like it, it would give you some idea of that which you're criticizing. You'll see it's not creepy or anything. It's just a kids cartoon that happens to be very good and appeals to adults as well as kids.
Don't take at face value the concept of a brony based purely on stereotypes you see about them in the media or Internet. Yes, there are perverted weirdos, but the vast majority of us are just people who merely adore the show and what it stands for: the principles of love and tolerance, of open-mindedness about different people & different cultures, of being there for your friends & family, and most importantly of how it is okay to be different than the majority, and equally okay to not be different from the majority.
Everyone has value, and can & should be appreciated for what they bring to the table.
I apologize; I do not know what "metafont" is...
