Python 1: Ssssssssssss…

Python 2: Sssssssssssss…

Python 1 swallows a chipmunk.

Sorry, I had to.

I absolutely love Python but I don’t understand this question. Scripts are many to do something, their purpose is about a million times more important than what language they’re written in. This amounts to “what scripts have you made that you happened to use Python for?”

Ignoring the word “cool”, I’ve made some scripts for OpenStreetMap:

https://codeberg.org/NeatNit/gtfs2osm-il this imports bus stop data in my country into OpenStreetMap. I run this script daily. Really proud of it.

https://codeberg.org/NeatNit/ptna-gtfs-import scripts for PTNA, I won’t get into what it is (it’s really niche) but these scripts are used by PTNA to enable automatic import of route lists: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Public_Transport_Network_Analysis/Syntax_of_CSV_data#CSV_data_import_definition:_@

They all use Python… Is this that you had in mind?

I don’t have much to say other than I once worked with someone in this exact situation. She was 30 but looked like she’s still in highschool. It’s surreal.

What you do with it is up to you! Like most things, it’s a blessing and a curse. Try to look on the bright side. As I’m sure you’ve been told hundreds of times, when you’re way older you’re going to reap a lot of benefits of looking young.

If it were me (for reference, I’m 31 male) I’d probably just keep giving straight answers and make the best of whatever reactions I get. Obviously in different contexts you’d prefer different reactions but in any case you get what you get.

Please tell me most people, when they eventually believe you, say you look freaking amazing!

When I was about 25 I started adding10 years to my age when people asked, just to see the reaction.

I love it. This is the way.

This is the best thing I’ve read today :)

Yup. When it’s required in order to access something then it’s no longer a donation, it’s a fee.

I wasn’t aware of that instance and I can’t really advise. To me that’s a bit of a red flag (specifically the fact that it wasn’t mentioned upfront) but not necessarily a reason to count them out if you really think they stand out.

I love that factoid! It was also a question on Lateral podcast. I just spent a few minutes trying to find it on their highlights channel on YouTube, but no luck.

I’m sorry that your relationship with your family is so unimportant to you that you think it’s better to cut them off entirely from your life than to use something you dislike.

apparently this works on Android as well, see other replies :)

Just don’t use it.

making me repeat myself… grumble…

If I want to keep in contact with my family (and I do), I have no choice but to use it.

Well what do you know, it worked! Thanks!

I allowed limited access and then selected nothing. Now I can send images and videos by sharing them from elsewhere.

play store. what’s preload?

In many countries around the world it’s the only way people communicate. If I want to keep in contact with my family (and I do), I have no choice but to use it.

I’ve tried to get them on Telegram or Signal, no luck.

And apps have to support it, which WhatsApp doesn’t

Edit: I was wrong, see below

maybe they’re serving different versions of the app to different regions or something. I am 100% sure this doesn’t work for me.

Similar situation with WhatsApp on Android: you can’t share images or videos without giving the app full access to your entire filesystem. You also can’t video or voice call without giving the app full phone permissions.

Other apps happily let you do all of those things. You can just Share an image from some other app. But nope, WhatsApp just refuses.

too late at that point :)

Interesting list. My handwriting is mostly what’s called “print handwriting” here, but my a and t are like the D’Nealian ones. And needless to say, my handwriting is not as pretty as any of these.

I never learned cursive, my native tongue uses an entirely different script, so for learning English as a second language, separate letters sufficed. This is what all cursive text looks like to me. I can never read it, even if I try really hard.

Only heard about him for the first time recently, in the context of the Stop Killing Games initiative. He spoke in support of it (which is a good thing, yay), and is apparently involved in some way in the drama that gave SKG the boost it needed.

Trying to figure out who the hell he is and how he ties into it, I watched one of his videos on YouTube (reacting to someone else’s video about SKG). Instantly got the impression that he’s an asshole… But at least he’s on the right side when it comes to SKG.

Yup, that about matches my thought process when I made that comment. Economies of scale make the complexity irrelevant.
