it is, you're absolutly correct
So how is it a ripoff then lol
EEEEEE
Or is it a ripoff in the sense that Oreo got its ideas from a worse company
prolly
Ah ye i can see why lol, googled it and the original co was "hydrox" lol. Sounds like a cleaning solution 💀
Im great at editing lol
thats why it prolly faild
yes C is still more commonly used for operating systems. lets list off some of them!
Pretty sure most linux stuff is done in c
most of the kernel is written in C
https://api.github.com/repos/torvalds/linux/languages (bytes of code in each language)
@jovial island
all of these use C.
(machines) >>= ls
debian-11.2.0 freebsd-13.0 linux-mint-20.3 ms-dos-6.22 netbsd-9.2 openbsd-7.0 solaris-10-oracle ultrix-vax-4.5 unix-v7 unixware-7.1.4 vm-esa-2.4 windows-10 windows-2000 windows-7
(machines) >>=
What are those numbers?
along with like, a bajillion other UNIX variants.
Dont ping me when i tell you im not interested in talking to you
🥴
(bytes of code in each language)
in torvalds/linux
Ah alr
vm overlord name earnt
damn right it is
I demand that you use exa, because colors
hold on let me get my glass of water
alright: here is my gigabrain move
alias ls!='/usr/bin/ls --color=auto --group-directories-first'
alias ls='ls --ignore=*.o --color=auto --group-directories-first'

alias ls="exa -1la --group-directories-first" :p
yes
do i look like i breath oxygen
"Rust users go to mars to get more stupider"
wait
yeah that holds up

how does it feel to be on the INFERIOR PLANET
Im trying to write a script that restarts spotify when there is an advert. Restarting it is easy but i cant figure out how i can get it to continue playing sons after it reopend. Does ao got some ideas on that?
C users go to fucking jupiter and die because there's no oxygen
thanks!
@sturdy relic you asked about power requirements for mainframes - this is the z13 technical manual
https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248251.pdf, page 387 (actual page number, ~411 for the viewer), for environmental requirements
The system operates with two fully redundant power supplies. One is in the front, and the other is in the rear of the Z frame. Each power supply has either one or two power cords.
Systems that have two power cords (one in the front and one in the rear) can be started with one power cord and continue to run.
The larger systems that have a minimum of four bulk power regulator (BPR) pairs that are installed must have four power cords installed. A system that has four power cords can be started with two power cords on the same power supply with sufficient power to keep the system running.
Power cords attach to either 3-phase, 50/60 Hz, 200 - 480 V AC power, or 380 - 520 V DC power
u forgot icons

!ban @daring jay . not using icons
my font doesn't support those specific icons and I don't know how to set fallback fonts for winterm (if I knew how, I'd set it to Fira Code NF)
i think there is a traCking issue for that but i doubt that is their priority
Catto
It's the catto from that catto game
I agree
ASM users always go to heck because they don't like higher levels.
im here
multiple reasons
they are ridiculously bad for the environment
are volatile
and mining just sucks
allegedly
why do you like C btw
i can write hyper portable code
wdym portable code
code that supports a lot of platforms.
what platform
when i say platforms, i mean really old platforms, like MS-DOS, OS/2, and old UNIXes.
as well as modern platforms.
do anyone uses them anymore?
not really
C is still relevant even if i dont like it
rust is hardly portable
hmph
zig doesnt even run on a pa-risc processor
not yet at least
only runs on linux, bsd, and windows but that will probably change one day
with lil work maybe. and rust can with effort but the priorities are not there so C is your probable bet as always
porting a compiler is hard i will admit
i dont blame you at all
c is the standard language for a reason
@fluid plank
but rust is the most unportable thing ever
consumes half of the ram on a simple system to just say hi and leave
🤔
it could be slimmed down but that would take the fun out of it
zig eats ram too

yea..not the best languages
made in py
i cant build it successfully in an i586 system 🤣 so i gave up on submitting it to opensuse factory
why me tho
well one of my friends uses a ceramic pentium powered machine for his router
75mhz
openbsd runs fine on it supposedly
i thought you made 👌 at my pic but i see it was something else
the fact that people say rust is portable is disappointing
rust is about as portable as microsoft windows
but i must give credit where credit is due
at least zig has good pointer support
the c header parsing feature is somewhat broken
@river talonC and Rust memory models arent best friends so i get it
indeed
not that its really bad
but i dont see rust running on any machine that isnt linux
one of my friends who was on here at some point before said it took him a lot of modification to run a rust compiler on plain darwin
is there a Zig compiler for DOS?
Zig is still considered alpha i think. i mean they are still solving this https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/6485
its been out for ten years
someone used zig on gameboy color
u can check out on zig discord server
any language can build binaries for an any operating system.
that is impressive, do not get me wrong.
that seems not true
haha
i too can use a table assembler
Zig does seem like an interesting language and i have considered learning it before.
are you going to run it on a modern pc or a vm?
oh, virtual machine haha.
there is a bug in the ide disk code
it does not work with disks over 2 gb
yeah i think Hacker mentioned something like that to me.
you have those running now?
yeah
that reminds me of hs's vm control socket system
he has close to 100 vms running across several servers in his house
..he also has like 64 GB of ram at his disposal, and i have like 16. 
yeah its very impressive
he almost lost a server because of his ham radio addiction though

oh it erases magnetic disks if you get to close.
or too far
🥴
he had a tape of usl 4.2 that he lost
you got to find that sweet spot
three fourths wavelength
he has several he doesnt use anymore
he probably has like 5
try 10

4331, p/390, p/370, old z parts
these look cool.
they take too much power for him to run
zed OS \s
he has all of the original install tapes

he has a bookshelf of nine track format tapes
reel to reel style from the 80s and sevreal working drives
this guy has everything i swear to god
he said that if anything bad happens to him
youre first on the list to get his stuff and save it
i am in the fucking will
yeah i learned that pretty quickly.
when he says he will run rust on a system/370 he will do it
he will also not do it because he hates rust
i wonder if he ever pulled that off
he said it was a dumb language for low effort programs
eh
it involved a hand generation step
because xf-asm cant read gnu assembler
that is where me and him diverge a lot.
what do you mean by that
ehh maybe not diverge but
i do not want to say he is extreme at times with his dislike of other languages
yeah, that is just how he is i guess. he is still one of my friends though so i do not care.
he doesnt hate other languages like he says he does
he will use it if he has to
but he really likes to avoid at all costs
yeah lol
he thinks with future proofing in mind
that silly python interpreter wont run on rad-hard computers he had
he has a special set of old pcs in his radio room for the purpose of not frying under strong electromagnetic fields
realistically the only languages that i think will outlive me are:
- C
- LISP
- maybe C++
they are all probably 40 years older than him
or older
exclusively?
within reason yes
mmtty runs on windows 3.1
thats why he wrote catctl
he has an old unix workstation that has more metal layers on the case than a bomb shelter
yeah lmfao
why not
he has a mortal fear of high voltage systems
he just dropped out of the morning net something must be up
his antenna fell.
lmao yeah
i took over net control while he eats breakfast
also do you have any old pcs to run these old systems on?
if not just ask hs he will be glad to get you several
maybe not mainframe class machines but he has a few p/390s he might lend out
he might lend a pdp11 if you ask
@rare moat if you are still on freq..he might be willing to part with his old 4d/35.. he'd do it for you if you really wanted it
nope!
just my PC.
well if you can emulate it today you can emulate it tomorrow
remember this very well because old pcs break
oh he wrote his own?
he wrote a fix for sdl hyperion that lets him use the real dasd disks from his p/390 machine
also wrote an emulation for the aws-ica integrated communications adapter
only seen on a p/390 and not on any other machine
thats how he is able to run one of the old versions of vm
the vm/esa 1.1 instance is on real disks
ahhh VM
is it though
substantially more reliable than linux
and unlike rust and zig the compilers on there dont have bugs
like rust and zig they are hard to use
lmao
thats how it was then
you either read the manual and worked the terminal or you found another job
unless you were a tape monkey
that is a hard job
librarian times a thousand
that is really what the job was called too
tastes like blood
everybodys licked a tape before working in computing either on accident or on purpose
on purpose
🥴
someone had to test it
how'd you know?
hs will probably tell you he can taste the data
Are you a vampire 🧛
i saw it
and tried it myself
it wasnt very good
anyways..after those concerning comments
yes do not lick the tape because it degrades the adhesive
and also it tastes bad
it also is toxic to us
and not what i would call a good alternative to burger seasoning 🤣
crypto is a waste of processor time
waste of power..waste of disk..waste of good computing hardware
uwaah can i pls get your point of view on crypto please ?
not because its bad but because it is inefficient
crypto is dumb
i see !
there will always be a market for food
if you are starving, you WILL trade me some corn cobs for some water
not some bitcoins
but why do so many ppl talk about crypto and say its good tho~?
ohh that's not very profitable if we take that for ex~!
because they dont know economics, practacility, and surely arent engineers
put simply..crypto is meaningless in the long run
if there is a power failure your crypto is meaningless
if you run out of disk space you can no longer maintain the blockchain
oh how is power failure related to crypto ?
because your mining rigs take 10000kw of power
@languid osprey 👀
when your mining rig uses 4x the electricity of a 100 kw radio station you have a problem
i see !
he do be lurkin'
mhm !
also not good for the environment 😐
and when it uses more power than entire medium sized country in a year, you have a bigger problem
i mean a radio station just throws magnetic waves out into space
but that provides entertainment
and also, very volatile
rly rly ? pls tell me more why~!
crypto does not really provide entertainment
most of the crypto "plants" run off of coal-fired plants
the entire value of the crypto market is defined on elons tweets
yes
that isn't very good
just one man to wield the power of the world at his hand
oh i see~! that rly isn't good for our enviroment !
just one dumb man with no real matter
yes indeed it isnt
i wouldn't call him dumb tbf
childish is better
besides if you are going to use that much power you better be doing something good with that power
yes childish is a very good way to put it
whimsy i'd say
elon musk isn't dumb yeah i wouldn't call him that either~!
Didn't that one flight attendant come forward with the sa thing
did you know a single cat has enough energy to power the entire country of norway for a year? i'd say we switch over to cat power
but yes crypto is massive power waste
cats generate electricity?
i say we switch over to sun power..lots of free power across the EM spectrum
i didn't know that . . . .
but solar panels arent so good
nope, e=mc^2, their mass has the right amount of energy
solar panels are only 20% efficient
lmfao
and solar panels give off lots of radio interference
although, accessing that cat energy is very difficult
wait for nuclear fusion tech
nuclear fission
i am not putting jimmy in a nuclear fusor either
well okay not fusion
fusion requires uranium or some other such heavy element
hey, someone that uses f#!
f# is a great ML language
ayy
we're advancing at quite an alarming rate without thinking about the consequences
havent used ml in approximately 30 years
might end up real bad
ml ?
i'm already living in fucking 43°c
an old functional programming language
um fusion requires hydrogen or helium afaik
I read an ocaml book if that count
what does ml stand for~?
machine learning
good question
machine learning
ML as in the language
ohh rigghhht !
from the 70s
ah
not that old, please elaborate
oh mb !
i think it's the metalanguage
Fusion is done with isotopes of hydrogen to create helium, not heavy radioactive elements
Meta language according to Wikipedia yeah
ML (Meta Language) is a general-purpose functional programming language. It is known for its use of the polymorphic Hindley–Milner type system, which automatically assigns the types of most expressions without requiring explicit type annotations, and ensures type safety – there is a formal proof that a well-typed ML program does not cause runtim...
based mods
according to wikipedia it is from 1973
fission uses heavy radioactive elements for the confused
not too long ago !
we use fission
Practically yesterday
stars use fusion
yes but stars are big
well ml is almost as old as me 🤣
yes stars are big and they have gravity on their side
omg how old r u~?
we dont have gravity on our side
Yup, large scale nuclear reactors are all about controlling the radioactive decay of uranium
oh i am really old, late 60s
if u dont mind me asking . . .
but i want to try to spread good advice while im around
(boutta make a ur mum joke)
damn this is probably the first time im seeing a 60+ year old using discord
grandpa what are u doing here~?
except if we get ur mum in the equation, then we have gravity on our side
grandpa also knows how to use emojis lol !
nice
sry for laughing !
yeah, him and i were talking on there last night
my friend that convinced me to join also left this discord
daver might be guido undercover and we won't know
guido? the python guy?
yes
yes
no that definitely isnt me 😂
atleast grandpa won't be lonely i heard u get lonelier as u old grow is that correct~?
it is true
here lemme give u a hug !
but because im into amateur radio..i talk to at least 100 people a day
there's so many people out there
and you can talk to people from all over the world
discord is just the same too!
i can talk to people all over the world on here too
yes it indeed is nice
true there are great ppl in discord from servers such as this one but there are also ppl who aren't as nice~! but its still interesting !
servers which are educational hv nice ppl in it mostly as far as ik ! so even if i stay back in discord it will prolly only be for servers such as this one !
crypto!
yeah..one of my friends left because of such a thing
but that is how it goes with anything
grandpa can i pwease get a life advice ?
yes:
don't do anything you might regret tomorrow, much less ten years from now
i know it sounds basic but its true
and
branch out into several technical subjects
don't just be into computing...be into everything else: electronics, radio, audio systems, cars
alright i actually understand i don't ever want to regret doing anything~!
i've been exploring so many technical subjects that i'm pretty lost as to what i want to do with my career
ohh i see !

i currently study space, aviation and CS
5Head move
if youre just into one subject you'll be left in the dust
i am actually going to listen to everything u said so thank u so much grandpa !
Oh cars are cool
cars? cool?
the guy that i mentioned was on here was once an aspiring mechanic
goo you know him
he gave up on mechanics after some issues
i know a lot of people
we all do
it's more about wanting to get a job and kickstart my career but it's hard to pinpoint on that one job which "makes you want to wake up in the morning and go do it"
exactly
the saying do what you love and you will never work a day in your life is very true
hm
ooops well i need to go the library so bai bai everyone~! bai bai granpa !
good luck!
i've also been overworking myself to learn various other stuff but i feel like it's all in vain
dammit
dont overwork yourself
i have books i haven't returned for 3 years 😓
you just brought up 3 years worth of stress and anxiety
RETURN YOUR BOOKS
you're gonna be buying up three years worth of books if you dont turn them in soon!
my brain shortcircuited once while i was doing about 4 free courses at once just in hopes of getting a job and boy that did not turn out well
i can,'t im in a different country
reminds me i have an English assignment to finish.
for the next 1.5-2 months
then you probably arent obligated to turn them in
sounds like india 👀
i hope
these people need to cut their damn grass
yes it is, visiting my grandma here. she's a cancer patient and my mom wanted to see her
lawn mower go vroom
indeed it does
yikes, sorry man.
sorry to hear that
anyways, i guess i should go get that cranked up and done
i hope the bad engine on it decides to WORK
👋
have fun
found some baby spiders
aww
nikon d3400 with the kit lens
i don't have a macro lens
my camera, lens and bag total cost where only €260
hey
hey
write stun seed somewhere
then read it in reverse

i will retry in like 30 min because rain
aww, now burn em all
they aren't dangerous at all
jk
no they are cute
but but i heard the smaller they are the more deadlier they are !
they are cute
scorpions, man
they will be like this in the future also this isn't my image just something i found online
quick question if u do not mind do u live in australia~?
omgg pls stoopp-
no i live in the Netherlands and the most dangerous animal here is probably a house cat or a dog
actually no the wolf is the most dangerous here then probably some birds
awwh so u live in europe like me ! cool~!
and true dogs here are so big and scawry !
wrong reply fuck
actually if one of those spiders bites it doesn't even hurt that much it isn't even as bad as a mosquito
it also only lasts a few sec to a few min
mosquito don't hurt, they itch
and the spiders i've met, real chill guys, feel demonized by humans, in their own words
yeah that is how harmless they are
malaria moment
although, the only ones you should be real scared of would be the brown recluse and the black widow
although we also seem to have these spiders here ruler for scale (ofc in cm)
That's it? Us Australians face 7 foot Carnivorous potato bugs
well that is the largest spider i've ever seen here
that isn't at a zoo or something like that
pet the little bugger already
no that was a few weeks ago and let it go in the garden
aw
he needs to get back in my room because i finally got a decent camera
nice
I get goosebumps just looking at this
spiders are real scary !
just know that they live in europe and are mostly harmless
eeeek omg what !!
yeah, even if it's harmless but the appearance is scary
cute
reminds me a friend who was deathly allergic to bees
the appearance is scary 😅
or cute
i just ran to my mom's room ! idk what's happening~!
1% cute, and 99% scary
although yes it is quite scary when you find one at midnight when you want to sleep in your room
at least we can all agree cockroaches make good pets and can be petted
... right?
sure in a bottle of saltwater without air for like 8 hours
nope! I hate cockroaches 🙂

Suggest more topics here!
I'd prove that I can't succeed at anything
because i can prove that
nope
yep~!
yes i will try it~! teeheee

let's play chess !
alr
but how~?
one sec
Join the challenge or watch the game here.
although, im not too good at chess
i am extremely sorry i actually can't play my friend suddenly is calling me~!
she said its imp !
alr
i am very sorry~!
This is a conversation that would've been better suited to DMs

This otn is tickling my memory
The refactor is going... well
What's this
pain
Though, things are looking much better.
Back to green. Now to finish the documentation changes.
What's the module about
!pypi secretbox
Oh cool
"small" refactor https://github.com/Preocts/secretbox/pull/81/files
... managed only one breaking change too.
nice
Someday I won't feel the need to do a +607 change to a library that already works.
Today is not that day.
why they gotta look like one tho 😦
spdooders
spoderling
well if that is because my photo's sorry but i will probably keep using this channel to showcase my new hobby
Oh no you are fine, keep the spider photos coming! I was saying that I vaguely remember the ot name
send more pics
i mean more spider pics
sadly not at my pc right now but might have some that i send to some other server
like this one
nice
i think that photography is taking a lot of time away from programming for me
hehe, it was me your ANTIPRODUCTIVITY DEMON, HAHAH, you can NO LONGER program!!11!!
yeah but that is just because it is so much fun
i also really enjoy editing the images although i think i might have only sent 2 edited images here
@dire sedge is that a macro lens you are using in the photos of the spider
nope just a kit lens
Really
yes a 18-55mm
and ofc everything on manual
a nikon d3400
my camera+lens+bag was only €260
That’s a great price
same but was to expensive for me
i don't think that i can help you with finding a good body for you although there is quite a large photography server on discord they can probably help you
What do u mean by good body
good camera body the thing you attach the lenses to and that makes the pictures
Oh thought so
I have an d one at the moment just a lumix g2
It use to be my farthest
What a 45-60m lens and a 100-200
so mostly for telephoto
Sound good
Anyone can help ? unable to solve for long hours

I'm trying to become more active on StackOverflow. Any tips on making answers (or questions) more concise and to the point?
They always end up very wordy, with lots of caveats and quirky lines of thought. I frantically edit them, sometimes rearranging sections and such.
I think that's a more general problem with writing for me.
looking back to a couple of my own answers, theyre all really short with mostly code
the couple sentences of text i have is to reference documentation or very briefly explain something
i just shared my music preferences with someone, oh no
what's next, your reddit account?? are you planning to marry this person??
I dunno, they might know me more than my creator knows about me
but then again, they shared their music with me
yeah i hear the wedding bells already
sure aboo
When adding file extensions on wamp, it removes the .php and adds a trailing slash, annyway to fix this? i want there to be a slash but when that happens css doesnt load

so the css can load?

@hasty mesa, you'd be surprised at how many people here have no idea how to open a terminal, even while working with python

oh ok... is it worth it to show some of those folks how to open the terminal?
@raven prawnwhat kind of help would you like?

@sturdy relic continuing from here #python-discussion message
that sounds insanely hard and how would i prevent light from the edges to hit the sensor
it normally does not leak anything, but its much easier on a prime lense
but then again, thats why macro lenses are made, the glass is already oriented the other way in it
also i'm not really planning on making any macro images
i'm way more interested in landscapes and maybe some animals and some astro like just the milky way
macro goes really well with programming, since the margins of errors are way out of bounds for normal human
I have a 11-40 for landscape
like that image i showed earlier it was quite hard the focus area was only a few mm
but i really like my 200mm for it as long as i can frame something in it
yes, hence you need f18-f22
i'm also planning on getting a 55 to 200mm lens
that is a very good allaround lens. get the 2.8f one if you can afford it
i use tape on my zoom lens, so i dont use the zoom to much
actually i've already done 1 decent astro image here is that image #ot0-fear-of-python message (i don't want to resend it so i just send the link to where i did send it)
its kinda a bad practice to rely on the zoom when you should just move the camera correctly into the frame
whats the duration of that imagE?
like 30 sec
a manual tripod?
well a cardboard box
this was the un edited image
but i sold my scope and gear because i did not use it that much
so much light pollution, a shame really
and clouds
oh, yeah. that might be it as well..
i had a newton scope with a camera mount
a 1200mm one, so you got pretty close to things
but there is a lot of light pollution like currently i can see a bright orange glow out of my window because of light polution
could take photos of nebulas and stuff
that sounds very nice and expensive
well.. it is an expensive hobby, a hobby where gear matters
it was similar to this scope, this is probably just a newer model, i got mine 10 years ago or more
can that scope follow the stars?
this one can, mine did not, but i bought a motor and then it could
this was mine, only in blue
although i do think that i did quite well especially because i started last week
i think you did very well 😄
thanks
that would probably be a nice color for a scope like that
I think they just add a new colour and people like me buy it because its new and shiny 😄
well the marketing team does need to do something
i really enjoy macro, but im terrible at it. i dont like portraits and for some reason i get great results almost every time
well it is probably just like any skill it will need practice
for sure, my legos cant take photos of themself
also here are more of those baby spiders (the background might have been a bright green trashcan) that was at f16
maybe in the future
you get alot closer with the mp-e 65mm
at these scales you cant change focus, because it will mess up the focal length and everything will break
you have to move the camera in increments of 0.05mm at the time
i have this
on a tripod
connected to a motor that steps in small increments and a controller that pushes the shutter
if someone moves around me at this scale the whole image shakes
what the pros use is this, but i just cannot get that in the stores in Norway, at least not when i checked last
This package includes everything you will need to automate the image collection process for focus stacking just add the camera specific shutter cable. The shutter cable is the communication link between the camera and StackShot. It allows the StackShot controller to control your camera to make the image capturing process completely automated. Th...
so i made my own with a microcontroller and python 😄
do you also use focus stacking at the end?
yes
the result is great, but its so easy to mess up a thing in the chain, and you have to start over again
probably even harder with animals because they move
well.. they are mostly dead
here is a pro doing this
i dont like hurting insects, so i just take the photos i can
well.. im just assuming, but thats what i have been told..
also thats hearsay 😄
i'm pretty sure that you don't have to kill some insects to get them to sit still because i think that some can get back if they are frozen for a bit
was just about to say "although that would require more research before attempting"
how is the reflection and a small part of the leaf sharp
large f stop or focus stacking
but this is probably something in the middle. like f10 or f12
and a precise focus
it must be both but in that case i'm very impressed at how it didn't move in the amount of time it took for the focus to be adjusted at that point you have to be sure that no one is walking and that there is no slightest amount of wind there
the image is inside, look at the window reflection, those are drapes on the inside
i didn't even think about that
let me finish by adding that im looking for a new lense, i just have not found the one i want
i want to get a 30-35mm prime lense, with something like 1.4 or 1.2, to use for street photography
and by finish i really mean, its midnight and im going to bed
that sounds quite expensive at least expensive to me
ik that it is almost midnight we are in the same timezone
yes, i think they cost around 2k usd
its a bit on the pricy side for something i would not use that much
that is like 6x the cost of my entire setup for photography
yeah, and thats the price of just my macro lens, the 65mm one
but good night
but that i have houndres of houndeds of hours with
well.. its all good 😄 keep up the good work, share your next image with me would you?
sure if i remember
have a nice one, and good night 😄
and very hard
What kind of photography are you folks doing?
Hoping to cop a camera some day and get into aviation, automotive and perhaps nature photography. I’ve got some photos taken with my phone but of course it’s not as good as a mirrorless or dslr
at the moment i've done astro (only the milky way), nature (if my cats are nature) and macro mostly some baby spiders
Ohh I adore astrophotography. Got a portfolio?
(I consider animals part of nature personally)
well i started only a week ago
i did share them you can try the search function in discord on my name with has:image to find them (that is mostly so i don't have to resend them because i don't really want to resend my images
that was taken before i really started with photography
and i really started after i bought my camera
I just can’t stand spiders, arachnophobia and all that
But keep at it btw, I liked what little I saw (til I hit the big spider)
i fully understand why although there are only a few that are actually dangerous
Yeah it’s an irrational phobia but it’s there and I can’t control it haha
the only thing it seems like you missed then would be the setup i used for the astro image (here is the link #ot0-fear-of-python message so you don't have to go past the spider)
Thanks. Nikons are great, which one is that?

Nice nice. Photography is one of my passions and I’d say I’m quite good at it, but due to financial reasons at my disposal there’s only my phone
Might pick a camera like yours in a few months
this wasn't very expensive at least in my opinion like camera+lens+bag was only €260
i could probably resell it all with a small profit
Not a bad haul at all!
i could have found cheaper options but then my parents would have spend about as much on gasoline as i did on the camera and i didn't want that at all
Pets are not nature photography
Understandable. Still a bargain. Keep it up bud. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Wild animals are though
Pic I took of a plane with my old phone.
Not bad
Yeah I was a passenger in a moving car so I had like 0.5s to take it
It was landing at Heathrow
I love flowers ☺️
hi @jovial island
Hi
cool flowers
Yeah they were pretty.
can i try to process your picture in my python app
What does your app do?
it processes images and videos in to output that can be displayed in the terminal
like showing images on your terminal
Oh that’s cool! Sure go for it. Show me the result
Hey that’s pretty cool! I saved it 😄
cool, thanks
Keep it up.
At first I thought it’d try to output ascii but this is pretty awesome too
I can imagine haha
I think there's lots of image to ascii tools on google
Yeah I’ve used one in the past when making a wallpaper
birb!
There's plenty of backend languages other than PHP
Any programming language can (hypothetically) be used in backends
Frontend though, the only mature language for that is JavaScript
And WebAssembly needs JavaScript anyways to call Web APIs
I’m back
yeah html works great as a backend
Nah HTML isn't a programming language
But HTML and CSS however...
best programming language 11/10
it was a joke
well, you can use css in html tags with style=""
okay
im out
I got many more pics but I don’t wanna flood the channel 🤣
isn't brainfuck just assembly but with really bad syntax?
Hence the name- "branfuck"
i have no idea in what other category it would fit
joe mama
i didn't know that that is a category for images
dam
... pet photography :p
hmm about yes
frog
I was wrong @rare moat .. uses C
Where shall we start?
pink border?
is that from your screenshot tool
Yeah, my snagit does that for me.
Snagit sounds familiar.
sudo zypper install joe
joe
mods always competing for some reason
so this channel was celebrating joe's mama or something like that, and now it's joe selfie pond. some shenanigans going on, methinks
We have to investigate, I am also a witness
(@Shenanigans#9160)
that's a real thing??
no, but there is a contract when you become helper
