en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language

A scripting language, or interpreted language, is interpreted at runtime, rather than compiled.

It is not derogatory, and is simply a fact about languages like Python and JS.

Most scripting languages are interpreted, not compiled. It’s not a criticism of them, but it is a tradeoff that is good to understand.

It seems like you are the one who is conflating terms like “script kiddie” with “scripting language” and adding some negative connotation that isn’t necessarily implied.

Scripting languages are usually easier to learn, have simpler syntax, and abstractions that hide complexity. These make them easier to get started in, but the downside is they are generally slower (performance-wise) than their compiled counterparts.

You must not live in the typical American city, where it’s completely impractical to go grocery shopping that often.

Yeah, I figured.

I didn’t mean it as a critique of what you were saying, and certainly not as an insult to you, but rather as a disappointed critique of American city layouts.

You don’t want to live in the US and work for non-US salaries… trust me.

All our space heaters should be folding proteins while making all that heat! Such a cool idea.

Wouldn’t that definition also include time spent commuting?

(Spoilers) Recommendations for near future "All Powerful AI" Stories?

So finally got around to watching a recent movie that I won’t name since I am not sure if it was part of the marketing, but the premise was that there was an all powerful AI that was going to take over the world and it used a mixture of predictive reasoning, control of technology, and limited human agents who were given a...

I recently read, and enjoyed, the Singularity Series by William Hertling. The first book is called Avogadro Corp.

It’s certainly not going to win any prizes for amazing prose. And it’s self-published, so the first two books could have definitely benefited from a professional editor (typos, etc). But if you’re like me, and here for the interesting ideas and good understanding of tech, it’s a fun little series.

I like how 3 of them, across almost 20 years, boil down to “learn Python”. When’s that dude gonna die??

How about the problems it causes with third party launchers?

Oh wait, that’s probably intentional. To get you back on theirs. smh

This just isn’t true. If you’re going a safe speed for the conditions, then you will have time to stop even if the person in front of you abruptly stops. Lots of people have to be following too closely (for the conditions) and/or going too quickly (for the conditions), for this to happen.

But also the LAPD is much less likely to respond to crimes in poorer areas. So the numbers they report aren’t all that meaningful.

Wherever you’re doing research is the wrong place.

I hope you expand outside your bubble some day, sweetie.
