  • That’s because all the people who don’t have issues, aren’t going to make comments about not having issues in a community that is basically dedicated to shitting on it(seriously, check top posts. It’s not “haha linux funny meme”, it’s “windows bad” over and over again).

    Even if they do make a commen,like you, they get downvoted by people who like to wallow in misery.


  • Yeah it’s often overlooked that one of the main struggles have been local infrastructure and production to make African countries self-sufficient. And with over a decade of Chinese infrastructure like modern roads able to handle trucks being built, and removal of these tariffs. It opens the door to expand production and long term growth.

    There are of course negative aspects involved, but it’s still a potential game changer when it comes to global trade and production.





  • The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.


    Although just for fun:

    Then Python is not a scripting language.

    That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.

    Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?

    You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.


  • mriswith@lemmy.worldtoProgrammer Humor@programming.devCan anyone confirm accuracy?

    Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?


    There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:

    • Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.

    • Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.

    Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.

    For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”





  • Ishii Shiro is a prime example.

    He was the head of Unit 731 and did things like live and unanesthetized vivisections on people, bioloogical weapons testing on children, etc… Which is among the milder things. The US made a deal for all his data, and he lived his last years in peace and anonymity as a free man. He actually worked for free as a local doctor for a period.

    If you look up information about him in Japanese sources, most of it is apparently all about how was such a nice man who helped people, and basically that he did a little oopsie in the 40s.


    Yes, the science was valuable,

    That’s one of the worse parts, they didn’t really gain any of the knowledge they hoped for:

    However, the information obtained was not of significant value, as the U.S. biological warfare program had surpassed the capabilities of Unit 731 by 1943.
