python is IMO the closest thing we have to a platonic ideal scripting language: it’s pseudocode that actually runs and you can just slap together libraries with minimal mental effort until it works.
Great for gently getting into programming so you quickly see results without having to learn arcane incantations, and for writing small tool programs; not so great for writing a kernel in.

attention control deficit

maybe if you take some vaccines to raise your autism stat that’ll help, then the hyperfocus on special interests will give you the best of both worlds at the cost of being unable to restrain yourself from calling most people apathetic monsters.

i still do not fathom how mastodon is difficult, do people just expect the platform to read your mind and do everything for you? How is it any more difficult than youtube?

import yhwh  

def interventionSort(unsortedList):
    sortedList = yhwh.pray(
    "Oh great and merciful Lord above, let thine glory shine upon yonder list!", 
    unsortedList
    )  
    return sortedList

that explains why it took god 7 days to make the universe

they mean the wake agenda, all these boats disturbing the water’s surface are going to bring an end to society

there’s a very trivial solution that always works actually, it’s called “stop being a prude”

ultimately the people responsible are the ones giving people tools that can be misused, you don’t hand a gun to a child.

this is what peertube tries to fix: everyone watching a peertube video (by default) will help server the data to other watching, so instead of the server needing to send all the data the viewers share the load.

people (like me) who only have abuse-tolerant plants are like druids who failed to keep their creatures alive and thus turn to necromancy so they won’t be responsible for further deaths

part rakes, part “why on earth would you care about removing leaves”

i just realized i barely ever hear leafblowers here in sweden (i think they only really use them to clean up the winter gravel) and thank fuck for that

last i checked mobility scooters exist

uh, yes? here in sweden we have public transport literally everywhere, if you don’t have a proper scheduled line near you you will instead have access to what is effectively an optimized taxi service, where you just book a trip an hour in advance and it runs on the same ticket as the rest of the public transport network.

uhh, mobility scooters and wheelchairs? i’m a bit confused as to how this isn’t really easy to answer

i never said developers are free to do whatever they please, don’t put words in my mouth.

What i said is that we don’t have strict regulations on exactly what parking you have to build, we have guidelines that are generally to be followed. I was just incorrect about how precisely that works.
According to https://www.boverket.se/sv/pbl-kunskapsbanken/teman/parkering_hallbarhet/pbl/lag it’s a bit stricter than i thought, but the law specifically uses the word “skälig” a lot so as to leave things flexible depending on the precise circumstances.

You have to provide a reasonable amount of parking, which by default is specified in the municipal guideline, but there are clearly places here that have very little or even outright no parking so it’s not an absolute minimum. If you can show that your development is designed so people can live without a car then that will most likely be approved.
A while back i saw an apartment listing that specifically noted that there is no parking available for you to rent if you get the apartment, and indeed there are like 6 parking spaces next to the building which contains more in the range of 20 apartments. And this is not some old grandfathered-in thing, this is a fresh new building from like… 2016 or something?

no? but they’re hilariously much better than cars

here in sweden from what i can understand we don’t have parking minimums as such, but we have recommendations for how much parking you should have for cars and bikes, which developers generally follow since that means they can just point to the recommendations if someone complains.

however this also means that they don’t generally have more parking unless they actually see a need for it.

huh? if there’s no parking you don’t get to park, not having parking doesn’t lead to chaos what are you on about?
