Not only nested ifs. It’s not even correct (doesn’t check for activities existing). And it’s not even pythonic (ask for forgiveness, not for permission). Just access the thing, catch the exception and be done with it.

Monorail!

And I up voted it twice. Because a track has two rails or something.

Hello otacon239, I understand that this is not what you expected and when a computer doesn’t work can sometimes get frustrating. My dog sometimes misbehaves and I also find it unacceptable. I’ll be happy to help you with your problem. Could you provide me the computer logs, electricity bills, last tax declaration, birth cirtificate in long form with 3 copies and the proof of Fermat last theorem?

The hard part to muscle-learn was to leave the left foot alone and just use the right one.
- Comment on I'll just take the bus 1 week ago:
On the other hand, I grew up driving manual, as most people in Europe, and my first time driving an automatic I was rolling up to the car rental exit and I pressed the brake as hard as I usually press the clutch. It was not fun for anyone in the car.
Then over the next few days of road trip, everyone else in the car had their turn at driving and we all did it 2 or 3 times, so it became an inside joke.

Depends on the problem. For design and architecture level, sometimes even data structures, a physical whiteboard is still king.
- Comment on Hell 1 week ago:
You assume that you are talking to a competent person who has a real difficult problem, which is not the case in 95% of the time and they have some bullshit trivial thing that you already told them 5 times.

Hello otacon239, thanks for contacting lemmy technical support. My name is tja, I love dogs and I will be thrilled to help you today. I understand that you dread email troubleshooting because it will take two weeks and 13 exchanges to actually start troubleshooting, is that correct?

- Comment on what is north? 1 week ago:
I’m not sure you understand what south means. It’s not “on the bottom of a map”, it’s “towards the south pole”. The south pole is in the middle of the linked map. On Antarctica.
- Comment on what is north? 1 week ago:
Nope. You could as well say: Mediterranean Sea, north of Antarctica.
I have two dollars, less than infinity.
The temperature is pleasant, higher than absolute zero.
Doesn’t add anything. There are no seas south of Antarctica.

Same here, seems almost like a standard phrase.

That’s already happening, how do you want the government to legislate against Russian, Chinese or American actors?

super hard to tell where electricity for certain computing task is coming from. What if I use 100% renewable for ai training offsetting it by using super cheap dirty electricity for other tasks
-
who will audit what electricity is used for anyway? Any computer will have an government sealed rootkit?

a million problems that require more attention, from migration, to Healthcare, to economy

Of all the things governments should regulate, this is probably the least important and ineffective one.
- Comment on 100% people who drink water die 3 weeks ago:
Title is wrong. It’s 100% of people who dies had drunk water. There’s like 8 billion people who drink water and haven’t died. Maybe never will, for all we know.

- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 weeks ago:
Then almost any blatant lie would be gaslighting, which I don’t think fits the meaning. My understanding is there are more necessary attributes for a situation to be “gaslighting”, mainly the manipulation and dependency.
If someone lies about what they said in writing (in the age of internet archive of all things) it’s just a plain lie, and a dumb one at that.

No we don’t! /s
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 weeks ago:
How is that not just lying?
Gaslighting (if my understanding is correct) is manipulating someone. Making someone question their own sanity, blaming them, isolating from other people and making them dependent on you.
Lying on the internet to win a stupid argument with a stranger hardly can even start to measure to that.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 4 weeks ago:
I have never seen an online discussion where gaslighting was used. People usually just learned the term and they think it’s a synonym for lying.
