The first comment worked as bait, but that last question is way too obvious.
Although just for fun:
Then Python is not a scripting language.
That is true. It is often used as one, but it was developed from the start as a general-purpose language.
Would you consider C to be more or less complicated than Perl?
You know about Python, Perl and C. You know the answer and you’re just trying to incense people.
Do you know what community you’re in? Do you want to start a war?
There is no clear definition because there is a lot of overlap, especially when you get into the details, but:
Scripting languages are often considered to be very high level and can commonly run without compilation. Making them great to automate tasks or create a simplified interaction/abstraction layer to a more complex program.
Programming languages usually have much lower level access, and by extension they tend to be more complicated. In exchange for that, you get much more control. Although the access varies from Assembly to languages a C programmer would consider “scripting”.
Although for every example, there is basically a counter example. Because programmers being who they are, see it as a challenge to do something with a language that others consider impossible or wrong.
For example, there are things like NodeOS, a “Lightweight operating system using Node.js as userspace.”
There’s a company that does mirror polishes of them. I remember seeing a clip from some car show. They’d done a dozen or something, and it was mainly a guy just sitting there using an angle grinder and a big buffer/polishing wheel.
Didn’t this give it away?:

to Predict Where Users Live

Translation: Unless you’ve revealed a bunch of personal information, it wont “predict” where you live.
Tons of things work.
When people say things like that, they don’t understand technology and just say that the popular thing is the “only” way.
For anyone curious, it’s the “DISC assesment”, partly developed by William Moulton Marston. The guy behind the polygraph and Wonder Woman.
It’s based on his obsession with bondage and how he thought it was the solution to a “peaceful human society”:
Dominance: active use of force to overcome resistance in the environment
Inducement: use of charm in order to deal with obstacles
Submission: warm and voluntary acceptance of the need to fulfill a request
Compliance: fearful adjustment to a superior force.
I’d take it with a pinch of salt:
Linguists in Australia recently analyzed the Global Web-Based English Corpus (GloWbE), a massive database containing over 1.9 billion words from 1.8 million web pages across 340,000 websites in 20 English-speaking countries.
More, but worse.
I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of people will dismiss it simply because it looks cheap. It’s like a a tech demo without textures. Although based on their multiple instances of stolen art, calling it an asset-flip is probably more accurate.
Survivorship/survival bias.
And yeah, it’s the same old “they really knew how to make * in the past”. Houses, bridges, spoons, video games, whatever. It’s just that the well made ones survive, and the badly made ones don’t.
In large scale online games you have issues ranging from obscure things causing memory leaks based on drivers, hardware combinations, etc. and all the way to basic things getting overlooked. One of my favorite examples being GTA5 online.
They forgot to update a function from early testing, and it was in the game for about a decade before someone else debugged the launch process. And then realized that it was going through the entire comparison file for each item it checked on the local list. So “changing a few lines” ended up reducing initial load times by up to 70% depending on the cpu and storage media.
EDIT: I’ve been drinking and probably misreemebred parts, so here is the post about how he found the issue
Yea, in things like MOBA games you have to compensate for so many edge cases that the amount of interactions between abilities is as you say, scary.
The second one isn’t bad, but I like the more trash metal style and less overwhelming bass in the first.
Which I guess is why Iove Andrew Hulshult’s remake of E1M1
The Cult of the Power Droids was a religious sect solicited by rogue GNK power droids.

It’s not really canon, it is from a reference book written by Ben Burtt in 2001. But the first half is written as an in-universe book, so I consider it partly canon. (For reference, he is one of greatest sound designers of all time. He made the lightsaber sounds, Darth Vader’s breathing, etc. In addition he also worked on Indiana Jones, made the “voice” for E.T., WALL-E, R2-D2, etc. He’s the guy who popularized the Wilhelm scream easter egg)
Absolutely, it’s impossible to know how much. But it’s a lot easier to grasp that it’s rarely just “changing a few lines” when it comes to these types of situations.
Specially since many programmers have encountered clients, managers, etc. who think it’s that simple as well.
I can never pick one, so here’s a few:
E1M1(Doom)
Hell March(Red Alert)
Character creation music in BG3
Megalovania(Undertale)
Coral Crown(Hades II)
EDIT: Actually I don’t think you’re a troll, I think you’re looking for tips to make your AI posts harder to detect by getting people to tell you what gives it away.
And for reference: No, you’re not actually using em dashes. Although you already knew that, because if you can google a binary converter, you can google “em dash”.
JIS is much better than Phillps, as long as you have the exact matching driver.
