I just recently bought a Samsung 16GB 5600MT/s stick for 45€ and received a 32GB stick instead! Sorry, but I wanted to brag x)

But mypy will not accept it :)

That is not the same as building an OS in Python hahaha

You just cannot do it, I’m afraid. Python is an interpreted language, and requires de CPython library to be translated into machine code so that it can then be run, but that requires an underlying OS that makes the calls. The closest thing would be micropython, which can be run inside the Linux kernel, but that’s about it. The only thing I can think of is using a custom compiler that would generate either C/C++ or assembly code from a Python script, and then compile it using a standard C/C++/assembly compiler.

You can in fact statically type in Python. For example, defining variables:

six: int = 6
hello_world: str = "Hello World!"

Or defining functions:

def foo(x: int) -> int:
    return x**2

If you only want to use static Python, you can use the mypy static checker:

# Install mypy if you don’t have it
pip install mypy

# Run the checker on the file (e.g., example.py)
mypy example.py

Why would you hate on it? It has its usecases. You won’t build an OS in Python, but I’d much rather do data processing in Python than in C

It’s actually pretty unbelievable. I’ve met people who look aloke before, but this is pretty astonishing. I’m not familiar with either of them, but IIRC one of them is a singer IRL today and the other was an actress that acted like she was a singer, so I guess coincidences do happen…

Or use rclone/cryptomator and encrypt ur files before uploading them ;) (S3Drive is a nice app for that and is very user friendly, although not foss (uses rclone))

That’s really a judgement call and my recommendation is that you decide what is most important to you:

• Morality of the company
• Repairability
• Security
• Hardware I am not putting privacy here since you can achieve it with both brands (fairphones are compatible with e/os and other LineageOS derivatives like iodéOS, which are privacy focused ROMs).

If your main concern is either having the best hardware or the best security, go with pixel. If it’s repairability or having an ethically produced phone, go with fairphone. I am a user of GrapheneOS on a pixel myself, but am thinking of going for a fairphone whenever this pixel dies. I didn’t particularly like the fairphone 5 due to its size and design, but I really like the design of the FP6, so maybe I’ll buy the FP7 when it comes out ;)

Or a “fantasma/casper”

You can assume a and b are real to make the joke make sense.

That’s some pretty big (rude) talk for someone who isn’t willing to back their opinions with any sort of argument. Saying things like “Your idea is idiotic”, “You don’t understand what you’re talking about”, “You are just making shit up” but then proceeding to say “Because of what I mentioned, I won’t go into an in-depth discussion around how you would be tracked” is a pretty cowardly stance in my opinion. “I will discredit your arguments with ridicule and no counter points”.

I for one do see the value in privacy protecting crypto currencies. I concede that they are not a viable option for utilitarian and common practices since the use of crypto is not common and does require specific know-how. However, they do have their usecases. Whistleblowers, for example. Regarding the second point you made: I guess you are implying the main vulnerability is the humans involved in the transaction. If that is the case, the responsibility on handling the transactions anonymously falls onto the interested party i.e. the one who is interested in keeping the transaction anonymous will also need to devise a scenario that is compatible with anonymity.

On the other hand, if anonymity isn’t imperative and the users just want a more privacy friendly solution to payment transactions, I think it also makes sense. You can prefer the banks not monitoring everything you do but also not need to live in anonymity and accept the fact that, if interested, the governing entities will most likely have the means to track down your transactions. But that is most likely only going to affect criminals, not privacy conscious citizens.

Oh, well I haven’t had problems so far with Orion+UBO!

You can have it on iOS as well. Use Orion browser instead of safari and install UBO from the firefox addons store ;)

But the post says before the integral, so I understand what they did would be $dx \int f(x)$, which is disgusting

In my faculty, there’s often vacants for lab technicians, if you want to give it a go

That’s what he said. Pack 17 squares into a square

Pixels are the best phones to change ROMs (it’s peculiar but it’s true). Take a look at GrapheneOS. I’m running it on a Pixel 7 Pro and all my apps work.

I agree it’s full of stereotypes and bad jokes, but it’s a show that’s easy to watch and that doesn’t require concentration. I am a Physicist and an Engineer myself, very much a geek and generally considered to have a very twisted sense of humor, but I still enjoy watching this show, generally while doing other things on the side.

Why would that be an issue? It’s a tv show like any other one.
