Hexbear is/was the main reason I really wanted a per-user instance blocklist. Even though I never interacted with them, it was annoying to see them flood posts with awful takes. Glad to hear they banned us.

Not all that interested in defederation of the mentioned instance, but I'm curious about the DMCA justification. Do they have active requests they are ignoring, or is it just theoretical scenario for now?

What is the implication of this for future potential defederations. I don't expect instances in Russia and similar countries to care much for western DMCA requests.

Tabs work fine, you aren't allowed to mix, indentation must be consistent.

4 spaces, although I'll die on the hill that tabs should always be used instead of space for indentation. Not just in python.

Python are fine with whatever number of spaces you want to use. You can use 8 spaces which forces you carefully consider each nest, you can use 1 if you're a monster, or you can use tabs if you're enlightened, python only demands consistency.

Depends on the file, very simple files may only warrant npp, but VSCode for more complex stuff where live preview may come in handy.

VSCode uses electron so it's not exactly a lightweight text editor, way overkill if you just want to read a simple .txt. Add on the fact if you got way too many extension, it will be even heavier.

U.S. commercial reactors have generated about 90,000 metric tons of spent fuel since the 1950s. If all of it were able to be stacked together, it could fit on a single football field at a depth of less than 10 yards. Nuclear waste is solid, it's not that difficult to store it. We get more nuclear waste leaked into our nature from coal plants.

As a reference, here is the room that Switzerland stores their nuclear waste.

Nothing you said other than expenses is an argument against nuclear. If anything, the take from you argument is that we should construct even more nuclear, not less.

It'd honestly the funniest thing I've read on this instance. Puts programmer humour to shame. Love it when developers finds the jankiest/unconventional way to solve problems.

You genuinely think it's faster to make a Web query, wait for search results to show up, click and wait for the correct webpage to load, navigate to the download page, download the exe, run the exe and go through the pop up menu than it is to type apt install x?

If you care about energy density, nuclear is the best solution, not coal. I guess Germans don't care though

Clean code would have indentation though, and you can use whatever space you want as indentation. Bonus points if you use tabs so that others with special needs can configure the tab length on their end.

And I don't think I've encountered an indentation error since the day I learned the language. How often do you encounter that error when writing python scripts? Sounds more like a theoretical problem than something anyone used to python would encounter.

I've never understood the complaint about forced indentation. What kind of monster doesn't use indentation for their code anyway?

If anything, it's nice that the language forces it on you so that you don't stumble on code written by one of those monsters.

This honestly feels like it's presented by someone with Stockholm syndrome. What major advantage is there over having multiple, more manageable repos? From the blog, it sounds like it's just extra challenges and more complicated on-boarding.

For modding, it's very useful to not have everything statically linked. DLSS swapping is probably the most prominent use case nowadays.

You can just run the code in the debugger to see if it does what you expect.

It's uses safari's engine, which is the only one allowed by Apple. Doesn't matter what browser you download from the store.

Yeah, it's probably cheaper than than counting the number of comments since a timestamp though. Pure conjecture on my part though, haven't really done much stuff with SQL.

comment_count - old_count after a moderator deleted some comments would be my bet.
