I wish they had an eGolf comparable to the Bolt and the Leaf.

I’m daily driving a 2013 laptop on Endeavour and it feels as fast as new stuff. Doing a lot of relatively heavy compute on it too.

Mercurial is way better.

There, I said it.

And then there’s weird people like me that prefered Vista and 8.1 over 7 and 10.

I’m a scientist that has been coding almost exclusively in Python for the past decade and I strongly disagree.

Python is great at being the glue that holds everything together, and everything crunchy part of the program is being handled by a library anyways.

I code with two terminals, one for iPython and one for vim. And you don’t need anything else. The beauty of Python is that it’s not a language that is so full of boilerplate that you need an IDE to type it for you to be remotely productive.

Overall, Python is a language made to be used by people that need to make something that just works and don’t need to spend years learning programming paradigms and industry practices. Fortran and C are so unwieldy in comparison and everything more modern lacks the expansive and diverse libraries of Python.

I personally feel like I have to fight Windows more and more to have it behave like I want it to. You still spend time to configure your Linux of choice, but it doesn’t feel adversary.

The usecase is putting on your CV that you’re a rockstar developer ;)
