The age gap under discussion was 20 and 27, not 18 and 40.

It’s all connected

For the curious, down votes on stuff native to an instance that doesn’t have down votes just won’t federate the down votes. So essentially, any down votes anyone sees is from their own instance.

Loss but to the tune of YMCA

Especially considering that Epstein had his hands in 4chan stuff.

you don’t think it’s creepy when some 40 year old is dating 18 year olds?

The post said 27 and 20.

You’ll live.

There is no best way to start. Start with what is fun and chase what is fun. A lot of very bad advice is given about supposed ways to start learning programming that can poison your experience (like people say garbage collected languages are bad because you won’t “appreciate” manual memory management), but that’s all bullshit. Learning any language will make you better at learning other languages.

I started with Java, I think it’s fine for starting. I think Python is a great way to start because there’s a bunch of content for getting started with it. But ultimately, start with whatever you find fun enough to keep you interested and pushing through.

I’ve talked about it before, but I really hate PDFs. Specifically the things PDFs are used for. If you aren’t planning to print something and will only ever look at it on a screen, HTML is better. It’s so frustrating when you’re going to a website, you know, a thing that serves content in HTML, and then some piece of information is in a PDF.

If someone wanted to take your rights away, maybe even didn’t believe you should be allowed to be alive, would you be unprofessional for not wanting to use software they make? Would you be unprofessional for making your own version of that if the project refused to remove them as the lead? No. You wouldn’t. A way to solve that problem as a professional is to fork the project. What’s not professional is calling people doing that unprofessional.

be professional ffs

You lost me here. It’s not “unprofessional” to want people to not be transphobic.

VSCode is like the worst fauxpen source ever.

“I was like, they were like, I was like, they were like” describes the flow of a conversation. That conversation did not happen as you presented it. You’re not just wrong, you’re lying.

Not in the way you describe it as a back and forth.

Some fool here challenged me to post a shootout video of 2 pots of water boiling and I was like, which gas burner do I get to use? The huge 5th one? He was like, show me gas beating induction with the same volume of water, same pot, and I was like sure, I’ll just use an aluminum pot :D

That was me, and no, that is not what you said, you just said this:

No. You’re welcome to think what you please.

I still want to see it. I honestly don’t really care which burners it is. Use the largest one you have that works with induction for both the induction and gas. Use the most powerful one for each test (unless it’s something like your pan is more narrow than the power burner so the flame doesn’t actually hit it). This is also why I have asked for details about the stove tops being used in such a demonstration, because yes, I’m aware different models have different outputs, because as much as you’d like to believe I am a fool, I’m not one.

I’d also be interested in seeing an empty pan with an IR thermometer pointing at it (maybe different spots, or the golden footage would be an actual thermal camera, but that’s not something I’d assume people would have laying around). Because something many people are saying is that gas is quicker at getting it to some level X of heat, but some other level Y (where Y > X) is faster on induction.

Based on your tone and closing remarks, it sounds like you believe this is just me trying to win an argument. No, it’s something I’m genuinely curious about. There are at least two people here (you’re one of them) that are disagreeing with things that I’ve known to be well understood, so I’m just asking for demonstrations to see why. Maybe y’all have unusually weak induction stoves or unusually strong gas stoves. Maybe it’s just placebo. Maybe it’s just different gut intuition about what the term “fastest to heat” mean. Maybe the sources I have seen are wrong or over simplifications. Yes, I know it’s sort of like comparing apples and oranges, but it honestly feels more like comparing honey crisp and red delicious. These are both tools to apply heat to food. The way they do it is very different, yes, but it’s still just applying heat. And applying heat is something we can actually measure. It’s not something subjective. And yes, I am aware there are differences in how easy to use and how healthy they are, those are more subjective in a sense, and it’s not something I’m trying to figure out. I am only curious about claims about which is faster at heating things. That’s it.

If I had the luxury of having both at my house, I’d record it myself and share if people were interested. But as it is, I can only ask people who have the belief that gas is faster in some way to show evidence of it.

Any idea that the gas is heating it up faster is just placebo from seeing the fire and feeling the hot air it spews all over the room. None of this changes the fact they said a different pan on two different stove tops, obviously you cannot account for the difference in one variable (type of stove) when you change a different one (the specific pan). It’s like saying gas boils water faster because you always use a smaller volume of water when you use a gas stove.

That doesn’t even make sense, why would a pan magically somehow not begin to heat up right away when it’s in a fluctuating magnetic field? That’s the whole reason it gets hot. With traditional electric, the coil takes time to heat up, which in turn takes time to heat up the pan. But with induction and gas, they’re both heating the pan right away as soon as they turn on, and stop heating the pan when they turn off.
