Hurting women is ok for them, too.

It in Elon’s case, catches fire and locks you in

Only the programmers that have to run queries in it because that’s their job. 😭

I found it. Thanks.

There’s a lot of links and anger over “imma” and “we be”!

I think everyone might need to “chill” but that would have similar problems.

Ok, they asked him to stop saying “we be” and “imma”.

I thought these phrases were ingrained in Internet culture and were no longer just a “black” culture thing.

What phrase or word did he say that offended them and provoked then to tell him to stop?

I’m an old white dude that cares about my African American friends, and tries to use my Caucasian skin powers for good. However some words work their way into general American culture from its subgroups. I think if people use lingo respectfully then there’s little harm. However there are some taboo words and pejoratives that should not be used.

Is AAVE = “African American Vernacular English”? That’s the only thing I can think that it would be.

COVID makes you dumber, but what happens if you start out dumb?

Yes but can you run Doom on a dead badger

Hey, about out to an interactive fiction dude/dudette!

I programmed in TADS many years ago, but I want to learn and use inform, because I want a Z-code game like my timeless heroes at Infocom.

I do think, however, that a company that’s not drowning in money wouldn’t be giving a bunch of generic research grants.

To clarify, you don’t think not-for-profits should fund grants for things that (by vote of the board) aligns with their mission?

I’m trying to figure out your beef with them.

This particular celebrity spent time in a concentration camp, though. Let him speak truth to power.

They are exempt from federal income tax.

Especially if he lives in a vacuum.

Sad to hear this news.

Does beer come with that?

The couch thing was true all along!

Yeah, I do not think Python is a very good comparison.

I was thinking more like Clojure:

1. Enthusiastic and friendly geeks trying to push their language on the world trying to make it a better place. They are both definitely not a little cultish!
2. Language intended to be simple to learn with a limited and regular vocabulary, but can handle complicated work with ease.
3. They both say that learning their language will make your mind better able to do other languages.
4. A bridge between languages. Vanilla Clojure runs on the JVM and can invoke Java commands. But it has also been built on other platforms like JavaScript (ClojureScript), .NET (CLR), Python (Basilisp), BASH (Babashka), and others I think.
5. The parts of both languages can be broken up, mixed, and matched, and used for other parts. In Esperanto, the fundamental elements can be broken down and made into other words. In Clojure, you’ve got functions and lists - and higher order functions that work on functions and lists, and lists of functions, and functions of lists.
6. Did I mention: Friendly & welcoming geeks that lo-o-o-ove newbies! Seriously, both Clojure nerds and Esperanto nerds are unnaturally nice and would like to welcome you to the club. They’ve got tons of free resources for you to learn it.

Honestly, I think both are right. Both are simple languages that expand your way of thinking, and are probably both worth learning, if you’re into that sort of thing.

About Esperanto, since it’s not a national language (intentionally so) it’s hard to do a census of speakers.

Also, to what level is considered “speaking Esperanto”? Taking the Duolingo course? Having it as a “mother tongue” where both parents speak it in a household in order to communicate? These are both probably countable, and produce wildly different numbers.

Mi pensas ke, vi volis tajpi, “Python (aŭ Pitono) malfeliĉigas min.”

• Mal : Opposite
• Feliĉ- : Happy
• Ig : Makes (Transitive verb)
• As : Present tense.

“Mi malfeliĉas.” : I’m sad.

“Pitono malfeliĉigas ĉiujn.” (Python makes everyone sad.)
