Correct. Learning a programming language is trivial. Far easier than a foreign language.

If we think of it in terms of learning a language, what matters is the grammar and ability to use it to struct prose to create a coherent story.

There’s also a lot of reuse which requires knowing what’s available. The closest analogy there is how music sampling is used.

Ketamine, admittedly.

Did they vote for Trump? Because if so, womp womp. Don’t fucking care.

Otherwise, I wish them the best!

This is one of the last major things on their list of changes that they haven’t forced through the system yet.

I hope it hurts the right people. I don’t use any of that stuff and the people I know who do all vote consistently right.

Two years until there is any chance of shifting the balance. I hope these wake up but I have serious doubts that will happen. I am very confident the right wing media will convince them it’s the left’s fault.

Best we can hope for is some new medium to rise up that they cannot buy out.

Mostly the same. My biggest headache has been some of my dependents have secondary insurance and no matter which company I’ve been with at the time, they always assume all of the do and will forget multiple times a year which are which and deny all of them claims until I talk to them because there are of course no self serve options there.
