  • gotta look at that graph per capita, sweden had a much smaller population in the 70s.

  • wrong order.

    SD started rising before the "immigrant wave", since we've had high immigration numbers since the 70s, but the shootings and bombings only started five years ago. they're mostly being carried out by people who were less than ten years old during that time. so the violence is, in a way, home-grown.

  • "essentially". fuck off. i started this entire chain saying that it's good that python is getting faster, and you shut that down too. you're obviously only here to start fights. i'm not interested in continuing this.

  • when the hell did i say python is supposed to be slow? i just said it's supposed to be used as a high-level glue to hold low-level things together. different tools have different uses. you're complaining that a saw is a bad hammer.

  • what are these numbers?

  • it's like that Mythbusters experiment where they fire a football from a truck. if something falls off of a vehicle, it's still moving at the speed of the vehicle.

    now being behind an unevenly packed lumber carriage when approaching a tunnel, that would make me nervous.

  • but like, most of the standard library is written in c. most popular libraries are written in c. they're built that way because python is a flexible way to glue functionality together. that's the point of python: it's easy. if i want performance, i port part of the logic to a compiled language. but most of the time that's not necessary.

    just like how with git, we have lfs. we build what we need when we need it. i don't understand your tone here.

  • pretty sure it's a stoat. ferrets are much larger, and least weasels don't have black tails (at least i think the tail is black).

    Edit: actually, it's probably a least weasel. the paws aren't as light as on stoats.

  • i mean, that's what you're supposed to do. python is a glue language, after all.

  • go is also not a fast language. it's about halfway between python and c.

    but they all solve different problems so that's ok.

  • it doubled in speed from 3.9 to now, so it's getting there.

  • i didn't even see the guy in the first picture until i looked at the second and realized what i should be looking for

  • the argumentations on lagen.nu uses "plagiat" both for "this student copied a paper without citing" and "this chair looks like another design". i'd say that's sufficient to believe they are treated the same.

    anyway, this was absolutely not the point of this thread. this started as a hangup on semantics, which i don't care for.

  • just got the vibe that she's his mom in this one

  • they are individual communities. that's what federation is for.

  • Citybuilders @sh.itjust.works

    I want a citybuilder with less building.

    KDE @lemmy.kde.social

    Any ideas? My desktop always ends up like this on login, i don't even know where to begin to fix.
