@lucifargundam @lupyuen as far as I can see none of those links say that it runs Linux.

@lucifargundam @lupyuen I dont understand your point. Could you clarify?

@lupyuen any idea why they're calling it a "Linux" smart watch?? As far as I'm aware you can't run Linux on a cortex-M lol

@somenxavier there have been many attempts of this over the years. Most have failed as the semantics of one language inevitable clash with the ones of others. As an example, consider immutable borrow of variables in rust (immutable by default) or lazy code in Haskell. How would such things be expressed in Python? You'd need to make new syntax to express those ideas in Python thus it stops being "vanilla" Python. As the number of features increases to match those of these other languages so would the syntactic differences.

Your best bet would be something like Cython or Nim. In the case of Nim, it can be compiled to C, C++, Objective-C and JavaScript while Nim itself is heavily inspired by Python.

@freemo cali in Colombia or USA?

@bonifartius no doubt, speaking from experience, Cuban doctors are great and indeed as you mentioned they tend to have a good reputation around the world. I actually have some theories for why that's the case but that's prob for another thread.

I was merely pointing out that for example when it comes to literacy, mortality, crime and other relevant rates. You can see that the "official" numbers often vary wildly from everyday reality depending on what the government wants at that time and place. You want to put armed national guards in places where people oppose or protest you? Say that there is a high crime rate in that area to justify heavier policing of protestors. You have gangs terrorizing people and don't want to start a police-gang war? Say that that area is completely safe so police don't need to go there, etc.

Also, as you said I'm aware some of this stuff happens in the "west" too but instead of being the government in control of policies you have companies acting through lobbying.

@bonifartius it's worth pointing out that often times when Americans look at Cuban & Venezuelan stats on things like healthcare they fail to see that those numbers have been cooked up to make the government look good. If you actually speak to regular folks from these two nations you'll realize this is far from the truth.

My thinkpad's #battery seems to be drastically overheating and depleting all power very quickly. This is not due to CPU load or anything like that (it happens without even running apps). Any idea why a battery would suddenly start draining itself so quickly and losing most energy in the form of heat??

@JoshuaACasey violence is not the answer, friend.

@freemo @Electronics use it to rig many lights in your house and make it so that when somebody walks past a hidden motion sensor shit starts flickering like it's a hunted house and play those "creepy wind" sounds. Invite superstitious people to your house, record their reaction, put it on the internet.

@freemo midori: according to the translation I found it means either green or greeness or greenery. So, I guess that's explains why the character has green hair (funny how Japanese pick names in anime) but it doesn't explain the name for the notebook brand.

@freemo that brand name reminds me of Izuku Midoriya so now I'm wondering if that word somehow means something related to strength in Japanese.

@freemo @lucifargundam anonymity, speed, scalability, and memeworthiness.
