This, but without the implication it’s cheating. As someone who’s both a software engineer and trains ML models, choosing a language that’s commonly used for the general task area you’re tackling (ML or not) is very useful. If it’s popular for the task area you’ll have a lot of references for how to solve problems, you can find and use libraries designed and demonstrated for similar tasks, and yes, you can cut and paste code snippets.

Almost every language is capable of doing anything, and software engineers regularly use multiple languages in the course of their work. Libraries and support are a big deal in deciding which to use, and will often be more important than your personal language familiarity/preference.

Comrade Soda-Machine, is that you?

Two years with a shaky supermajority. And most of that time wasn’t hearty congressional debate, it was just trying to convince Lieberman. That’s not a situation where you simply can’t do anything else.

That sure is the company line.

This feels like rage bait. From the decision itself, to praising the executives rather than the techies, to putting them up on the girder like they were the common man doing a tough and dangerous job to build our modern city. You don’t just choose the worst thing at every possible decision point by accident.

Even if we believe this one artist is a complete moron, are we supposed to believe there was no one among the people setting up the parade and float that recognized the words? Or didn’t and did a web search to figure out what the message was?

It would be incredibly ironic if a crazy insurrectionist fought back against “the left” by going after the centrist obstructionists currently failing the party. They should be thanking the fates that in this time of crisis inertia and corruption have saddled is with such losers as Jeffries and Schumer.

This trailer gave me basically no information about what the show will be about. Is it a coming of age school drama? A slice of life about up and coming Starfleet officers? A story about an improbably young group of protagonists situated in the heart of a galactic superpower saving the day?

One of the interesting things Disney Star Wars has tried, to varying levels of success, was trying out new genres within the universe to justify running many different shows simultaneously. Why set this at the Academy unless you’re going to do something different?

LOL. That’s some fine detective work and good moderating. Go crawl back into your shitty hole, you sad little Nazi.

All we know from this screenshot is they banned you and you made alts. Linkify those proof links if you want us to judge the mod.

From the deliberately limited information you’ve presented, I’m inclined to believe they had good reason.

Bari Weiss didn’t have a bright career ahead of her if she just dodged this gig. Her career is being a professional stooge for conservatives, not rising on merit as a journalist and leader. This is exactly the next step and she’s getting a ton of money for it (from them buying her trash blogging site for far more than it was worth).

Take this disruption as a moment to reflect on whether you really want to come into this shit show as a non-citizen.

If we’re going to resort to the statistics of small numbers and ignore all the other shared traits that lead to the failure of two neoliberal campaigns by uncharismatic candidates trying to be the Democrat for Republicans, then the only correct demographic to choose is a black man with a Muslim sounding name. It’s a guaranteed success.

Does that strike you as maybe not the best reasoning?

YOU are the one causing the division! JFC, dropping in, saying “no women” and then complaining about division is just incredible.

The “they’re just sexist, that was the problem” isn’t just some random observation from people trying to just figure out what works. It’s an intentional campaign to scapegoat women for losses caused by the political class who keep trying to run the same campaign and failing.

They’re not coming with hyper-cautious analyses saying “no women, no abandoning the base, no campaigning with Republicans, no timid neoliberal policies”. They’d still be wrong, but at least that would seem like a legit attempt by a simple mind to avoid anything that might possibly be a weakness. Instead they just stop with the first. They’re looking for a scapegoat, because all those other factors were getting pretty unpopular in the party and they desperately needed some other explanation.

Weird how you guys always focus on the ladybits as the unifying factor between Clinton and Harris losing and not their shitty campaigns to the center and inability to have a single authentic moment.

It’s a convenient excuse that means the establishment, with its 20% approval rate and record of abject failures both electorally and in countering Republican messaging, doesn’t need to change a single thing that might upset the donor class that has caused them to inexplicably cling to positions 70+% of the party do not hold.

Thank you for tagging me as I do appreciate watching this spectacle.

It’s incredible that you both think that was attacking and still have not had a single moment of self reflection over your behavior. I recognize sometimes when I’ve fucked up or gone too far. That was not one of those times, and frankly even if it had been, “I’m removing for spite” is still an inexcusable response.

You’re too sensitive to anyone questioning your actions and too emotionally immature to be a good mod.

It very much is not, because few people see any given community when browsing All. Someone might see one post and downvote it, but they wouldn’t be downvoting everything. If they just hate all the content, they shouldn’t care about being banned unless they just wanted to keep attacking it.

And you’re new to the Internet if you think haters won’t go to a community they dislike and downvote every single post. It doesn’t even need to be something serious like politics. Console wars, sports teams, or just a TV show that rubs some group the wrong way.

Conservative subs on Reddit used to never be able to use the voting system to sort their own comments because of it. On Lemmy the votes are visible so you don’t need to guess who’s doing it. If you’re not participating in a community in good faith they have every right to ban you.

If the users are actually serial downvoters, that’s a perfectly fine reason to ban. Votes are supposed to sort the good content (for that community) from the bad, and if someone comes in and downvotes everything, that doesn’t do that. They’re not participating in good faith for the community’s intentions. Voting isn’t a Lemmywide opinion score that must be allowed to run unrestricted. It’s ok for mods to say “this community is only for people who actually like its subject”.

That’s not to say there may not be plenty of good reasons to block the communities or defederate. They’re likely going to stray into hate speech and/or host their own trolls. It’s simply that banning people who are only there to disrupt it isn’t itself some sort of high crime.

It’s what Charlie would have wanted, don’t focus on his death, carry on his life of racist hate.

I was gobsmacked that “I’ll remove it to spite you” didn’t even warrant some bullshit like “we agree that that was an inappropriate thing for a mod to say”, even if they backed him on the strict no image posts stance. That’s really inexcusable, and the very core of the problem.
