They let Larry Niven write some episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series, so now the K'zinti (cat people Niven originally introduced in his Ringworld stories) are canon in the Star Trek Universe. The producer (or maybe director, I don't really remember) of those cartoons was color blind and as a result, those cat like aliens became cannonicaly purple.

Do you realize that every bit of your comment just validated everything the other person said?

Sounds like you eat trash. Most of what I buy from the grocery store is fresh or frozen, pretty much everything else is a slow boring flavorless heavy salted death. I haven't found a service that can automate my grocery shopping to my satisfaction and frankly I wouldn't want to. My weekly meal planning happens in the vegetable department based on what in season, available locally, looks appetizing, etc.

It also sounds like you live alone, not having to contend with other people's changing schedules and laundry needs.

You're automated "easy" life sounds like an empty void. I'm not convinced you're "living" your life at all, just killing time.

In the US it must be Springfield because there's so fucking many of them that they ~~named~~ made a TV show after it.

Stupid sexy autocorrect.

What do you think consequences are? Think it through again.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

No consequences means no benefit either.

There will ALWAYS be mistakes, bias, and corruption. There is no such thing as incontrovertible evidence. And even if there was some fantastical magical way to know absolute truth, that is still a pretty poor justification for more murder.

Execution of innocent people is (and always has been) the entirely predictable, inevitable, and probably unavoidable result of capital punishment. There is no getting around the fact that, as long as the state executes prisoners, innocent people will be executed and "the state", i.e. taxpayers, will pay more for it than they ever would have imprisoning the convicted for life.

I'm not the one being combative here. You're attitude is pretty condescending and alienating. Are you okay?

You totally missed the part where OP said she was looking into Python because she ALREADY WORKS IN GIS.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

She already works in GIS and is looking to supplement that work with python. Python is used for more than geojson and web development in ArcGIS Pro. I've use it for constructing labels, simple field calculations, symbology, data processing etc. and in general ESRI makes it pretty simple to implement compared to the other terms you've listed. All she really needs to get started using Python with ESRI products is an simple python course and googling for some ArcGIS examples, which are pretty abundant. I remember taking one ages ago that ran the code in the browser, but I can't remember it now.

It's a damn shame that we haven't built a microwave that actually listens to the pops and stops when the pops slow, just like every bag of popcorn instructs you to do. We've got gun shot detectors; you'd think we could build a chip to analyze popping popcorn.
