@lapis @sidd_harth0_5h4h hm, pretty sure cats are not supposed to eat pizza. my solution would be to give the pizza to me 🍕 ​​​

@vaporeon_ makes an offering to Poseidon, unleasing a tidal wave upon the vaporeon

@vaporeon_ blasts vaporeon with a fire hose

@cam @lapis a rare form of shinagami eyes

@lapis tasty science.... 🔬 ​

Gonna try a Cooking Experiment today

@vaporeon_ the vaporeon is normal and can be trusted to enter the piloting room of the airplane

@aescling Hi cat I am lending you this book. You have three months to read it while also working a full-time job. Afterwards you will be tested. If you cannot solve the equations of motion for a point mass in two-dimensions in a constant gravitational field using the Hamilton-Jacobi equations then you are Stupid and I will call you out on the public timeline.

As you can see it is not thick, so this is a very easy task.

@vaporeon_ @aescling

@vaporeon_ @aescling 314 pages

@vaporeon_ the languages I am not familiar with that I am most interested in learning are Haskell, OCaml, and Rust

unfortunately the deno devs use AI now so this has to happen in an alternate universe where me and @Lady forked an old version of deno and maintain a Good runtime

@Lucy you only laughed because you like jokeslop

me: programmers' tendency to use their programming language of choice puts development teams in situations where they put square pegs in round holes instead of learning new languages better suited to their problem. programmers should be more open to learning new languages

also me:

@vaporeon_ valid tbh

i hope the data science and stats people move to javascript so i can use only javascript forever

@anime_reference @vaporeon_ I still ended up using a small amount of python because matplotlib is just too good

@anime_reference @vaporeon_ I just really like JavaScript. Python would have been a "better" choice

@vaporeon_ I really enjoy javascript for scripting tasks because has lexical scoping and functions as first-class objects in a language with a C-like syntax, and unlike Python the lambda syntax is actually fun to write. So I can opt into functional solutions when they make sense, and it still has pretty good abstractions for traditional OOP for when it makes sense

And its surprisingly performant for a scripting language.^✝
