  • “The other two functions work similarly” noo I wouldn’t say that! :D On a very abstract way, maybe. But especially to a beginner, they don’t. One just processes it’s input a bit (casting) while the other displays text, reads from stdin, etc.

    I believe OPs confusion stems exactly from presuming strong similarities between all functions, while only float() and int() are similar and input() being a completely different thing (relatively speaking…)





  • Thank you for this awesome list! I had terrible experience with OSS Document Scanner and Image Toolbox though.

    The scanner would just distort every image like crazy!! Would 100% of the time utterly fail to detect the paper edges even against high contrast backgrounds without any patterns and under very good lighting. I did like 20+ photos and immediately deleted the app, it didn’t produce a single usable result.

    And image toolbox was just a pain to use. If you compare how you apply filters in e.g. Instagram to this app, the UX is purely frustrating :( Though the app looks nice and has lots of features :)

    Sorry for all the negativity 😅 I’ll try to be more positive by sharing my favorite Spotify alternative, which is basically a YouTube music client with premium features. The service remains proprietary but the same applies to discord. InnerTune

    This apparently is a “Karpfen”, the fish you’ve been seeing probably was a “Stör”.

    There was/is a stör-meme in the German community feddit. I suppise its a consequence of the OpenSource community being very big in Germany, that we often reach the trending (or “all”?) category even with German specific memes.

    The stör-meme was essentially just a very bad pun, repeated endlessly. Stör(en) = Bother/annoy/disturb/interrupt… and also Stör = some kind of fish (which I didn’t even know before).

    Also Stör is ofen part of other words so the pun potential is huge. Check out comments of popular stör memes, there are people explaining it way better than me.


  • You don’t seem to understand the difference between mRNA vaccines and an immune escape mutation of a virus evading the immune systems response of the hosts.

    Also part of why those beneficial mutations occurred is that a large (enough) portion of people weren’t vaccinated. The “potential” hosts, that required adaptation because they’ve seen how the virus looks like through vaccines, create an evolutionary pressure.

    Even though this is about bacteria, not viruses and happens inside a petri dish, not in a natural environment, it quite illustratively shows how mutations work. Note, that even though the antibiotics are completely ineffective against the bacteria at the end, this does NOT mean, that it’s useless to begin with. It’s very effective, in fact so much that only small doses suffice to keep the bacteria away. But they mutate randomly yet with a selective (evolutionary) pressure. Maybe you’re too much of a “skeptic” to change your mind. But if you’re truly skeptic, try to be skeptic about your currently held believes too.

  • Absolutely. I didn’t mean to say he “only” changed my view, in case that’s the impression. He is a great man, the entire (digital) world is built on his legacy so to say, yet barely anyone knows about him.

    PS: little anecdote as I once went to an Apple Store and scrolled through the software licenses in the settings on an iPad of iOS and found one crediting Richard Stallman as the author. I just left it like that, thought it’s funny having his name on an iPad in the Apple Store :p
