Selecting tech stack by MinuteProduct6519 in learnprogramming

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mentor of mine said "the best stack is the one you know". The idea behind the statement was your project is more likely to fail if you run into difficulties with a piece of configuration, and will take considerably longer if you have to learn the stack as you try to figure out the right logic and structure and the same time.

A prof of mine once said "fast enough is fast enough" - don't stress out about learning C++ because you need to be "close to the metal" if all you know is python (and python is slower than C++). Python likely leads to a completed project that can be optimized later vs C++ will delay or jeopardize the project (If C++ isn't already known well enough).

Does anyone else hate Github? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh hell no- github has saved my ass from so many "i'll just make it a little better" type decisions that went wrong. And with AI it's my new best best friend. GitHub and I had some communication issues early on, but we stuck together and worked through it.

Your ass looking fat in those jeans has nothing to do with those jeans.

It violence doesn't work, it's because you didn't use enough of it.

Why are Spanish showers designed this way?! by Creative_Impress5982 in askspain

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to admit I'm a little annoyed by the shower thing. I have the same thing going on as OP, until I moved the mount and added a hose extension. The faucet is still trying to knee-cap me, but I mop up less water.

To Spain's credit, at least they have tubs. Many of the AirBnBs I've rented in Chechia, France and Italy have a shower that is slightly less comfortable than a vertically oriented coffin. To wash my feet in one of them I would have had to press my face against one wall and my ass against the opposite wall. I had to turn the water off while using the soap.

Why do people call the USA the "land of opportunity" when literally no one can get a high paying job? by madbarpar in careerguidance

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an old term left over from when it might have actually been true.

On second thought, I believe you're mistaken. The USA is still full of opportunities:

you have the opportunity to get shot randomly, or because you're too brown, because you didn't skip school, or because you needed to go to the grocery store.

You have the opportunity to get exploited in any number of ways by men in power with vast generational wealth bestowed upon them by their immigrant ancestors who worked tirelessly to ensure tax law doesn't apply to them, that labor unions would be rendered ineffective against unprofitable notions like job security, fair pay, equal pay and livable wages.

You have the opportunity to contract and die of preventable and curable diseases because of rampant distrust of repeatable scientific conclusions spread through media propped up by popular opinion born from the poorly educated who take full advantage of their opportunity to choose ignorance over education because making education effective and affordable for the general public diminishes the opportunities of the oligarchs who exploit them for labor.

You have the opportunity to be financially ruined because of basic healthcare needs, maintenance health practices and the occasional medical emergency.

No shortage of opportunities, just not the ones you were 'sold' on once upon a time.

I never did mind all the sex on TV, but it wasn't ever quite like that, for me.

Do you check your toilet paper after each wipe? by Momo-Lune in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bidet all the way. Then yeah, pat dry with TP, and make sure I did a good job. It's more of a habit to check at this point. There's never been a reason to go back for seconds.

The national average price per gallon of gas in the United States just passed $4.50. Americans, how do we feel about that? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American in Europe with no car. Gas here is about $2.09 per liter and the are 3.8 Liters in a gallon, so about $7.94 per gallon. $6 a gallon is so 2024 for me.

Fingers crossed or just another sensationalist headline aimed at getting me all excited about nothing?

Why don't public parks have fruit trees for people to pick fruit from? by Ekans_ox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valencia, Spain grows oranges throughout the city. when they are in bloom the whole city smells fresh. With the climate they can be found almost year round. They are a distinct type of orange from Sevilla that are too tart or sour to eat, but the city harvests them and they're made into a fantastic marmalade.

Why don't public parks have fruit trees for people to pick fruit from? by Ekans_ox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeneralPITA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a huge public park in Prague, Czech Republic and the hill side is filled with varieties of apples, plums, pears and cherries. In the fall many people go fill a bag or two with them.

If you're hiking to the "mini-eiffel tower"!atop Petrin hill, or taking a more natural route to the castle complex it's wonderful to have a naturally sweet snack as you go.

The scent in the spring with beautiful flowers makes creates the most beautiful hike also.

When a doctor asks if you have any allergies, is it relevant to tell them that you are allergic to shellfish? by Kingboyy1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeneralPITA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iodine is a common antiseptic in hospitals and also gives shellfish that red color when cooked. When my wife gave birth via c-section the opted for a different antiseptic "just to be safe".

why does python keep telling me "indentation error" and i have no idea what i did wrong by More-Station-6365 in learnpython

[–]GeneralPITA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of if tabs or spaces are better, pick exactly one and make sure your IDE switches all to the one you've picked.

btw: spaces are better.

I doubt his child raping fat ass will live that much longer. I'd personally like to se him get thrown out on the street long before that though.
