  • Well. yes. it does strongly depend on what you intend to do with it.

    Python is a great language that’s very broadly used; there’s a reason that Apache added the python API; after all. (and why Scala is plummeting.) I wouldn’t even say Pascal was all that useful, to me. I think I ‘learned it’ enough to get through the dumb book, and then went on to something else. C++ was more fun anyhow.


  • It’s also important to note that you might come out ahead in learning those abstract concepts using a harder language.

    But my first language was Pascal. from a book stolen from my dad’s library. Then C++. I still wouldn’t call myself anything other than an amateur… I mean, my dad can do more with one line of C than most programmers can do in their entire career. (he really shouldn’t. but he does. Calls it “job security”.)


  • My guess is they mean, one capital letter, one lower case letter, a number, and a special character

    what’s always amused me about these rules is that they exist because people are dumb. Technically, they lower the difficulty of the passwords slightly. ( for example, knowning that one character is a number reduces it to 10 options in stead of 10+26+26+whatever set of special characters)

    anyhow. people should use password managers. just saying.

    I mean, I had the whole “She’s got a twin sister whose doing it” thing pegged from the moment we saw the ‘good’ sister working as a mechanic in illegal jobs or whatever.

    I had shroom-guy pegged for being the Sith Master from the moment he warned her that “he would know”… or whatever that conversation was in the apothecary.

    I joked about it because, that’d be too obvious, right? Nope.

    The only thing going for the show is that it has some decent wushu glowbat combat. That’s about it.

    I watched it. I enjoyed it in the same way that I enjoyed a lot of shitty scifi or fantasy- it was ‘okay’, it filled the silence; but it wasn’t something I was going to make a night out of.
