  Yeah, this is the distinction I’m trying to draw between “common” and “scientific” terminology. Scientific taxonomy is based on evolutionary history, rather than just superficial traits like “has gills, fins, and lives mostly in water.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tall tails⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m not really arguing for or against the word fish technically fitting all land animals. I think that using it that way showcases the problem of trying to fit common terminology like “fish” into the scientific taxonomic system. The definition of fish has no use in that context.

  Also, there are fish which are also arguably tetrapods en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopterygii

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tall tails⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Hank Green went off about this recently. “Fish” just has no scientific meaning, and there are fish tetrapods.

  I don’t necessarily disagree, but ultimately there is a problem in classifying “fish” in the modern scientific taxonomy system - it has no good phylum to fit in as its a term that’s a bit more broad than that, but not broad enough to make for a kingdom.

  Birds are reptiles. Commonly, we wouldn’t say so, but they’re in the same clade. The avians are closer related to the crocadilians than the crocs are to other reptiles like the squamates - lizards and snakes.

  Fair enough and agreed. I don’t have much else to talk about with this, so have a great day, captain!

  As for RFK, I hope he has has a horrible terrible fucking day, the cretin.

  Lazy works. I started my config from this repo. It got me up and running well enough with a pretty basic viable config almost immediately with a well documented parts for me to tweak at my leisure as I hit pain points.

  But, if you do try it and don’t like it, or prefer a G-IDE - at least you tried it. Good luck to you, captain.

  I saw, but this is the admin to bring back up such heinous bullshit.

  Yeah - I first hand have seen business majors I work with try to pitch a song from AI as our new marketing jingle. It was neither good, nor catchy for marketing purposes, but business ghouls hear something that sounds close enough to something someone put real effort into and think that’s the hard part sorted.

  The violence discussion comes and goes every couple years. It has since the 80s at least. It’s never had any ground in reality, it’s just fear of whatever media they don’t understand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel this. In my line of work I really don’t like using them for much of anything (programming ofc, like 80% of Lemmy users) because it gets details wrong too often to be useful and I don’t like babysitting.

  But when I need a logging message, or to return an error, it’s genuinely a time saver. It’s good at pretty well 5%, as you say.

  But using it for art, math, problem solving, any of that kind of stuff that gets tauted around by the business people? Useless, just fully fuckin useless.

  I don’t intend to have the tone of some of these other guys; if you like it that’s fine, really.

  But man, every time I’ve used VSCode, I cannot help but hate it. It’s a mess of a user experience, with anything off the beaten path being community supported via plugins that have different opinions on how they should work.

  I’m a nvim user these days, I’m all about extensible tools, but I can redefine how they work if it’s not a default I like, so it’s always cohesive to me.

  Between the full-fat IDEs, I prefer JetBrains by far, but these days I pretty much just use the terminal - it’s just faster and it’s easy to get it to meet me where I’m at.

  Given who he was, probably the latter as a to-him socially acceptable racist dog whistle.

  Yeah, outside the joke and old complaint, I’ve been liking uv for my small Python projects.

  Oh man, and the environmental component hearing the clash of metal get louder as you approach the arena. FromSoft has always been good at it, but that was really peak environmental design and story telling.

  He tried to deploy his project. Legends say, it’s still not deployed.

  Many IT people love computers. They hate computers that other people use.

  Windows and Microsoft in general does things to a man.

  Then the cyclists and marathon runners can actually get some respect to make up for the free time they lost to training.
