I have never had a desire to explore the numerous cultivars or varieties of tomatoes to determine if one was not going to make me vomit. Blind testing seems like a masochistic exercise now that I think of it.

With your description though, I might try a Budyonovki tomato (I assume Budenovka / Будёновка) if I am ever presented with one.

Thank you for the tip.

You assume this is about taste.

In my case, when the texture of tomatoes touches the inside of my mouth I get the urge to vomit. When I was forced to eat them as a child, I literally ended up puking. The taste of Cherokee purple tomatoes will not change that.

A similar thing happens with egg plants, water mellons, and similar 'squishy' textures.

The taste of tomato paste, or ketchup? Love it.

Your SO and I are not the same.

You just made me realize the Zoomers are actually much closer to making Warhammer 40k a reality. IT engineers are like Tech Priests to these Zoomers.

What are they going to do, put up a sign that says "don't let in frikineh@lemmy.world"?

Also, fuck cancer. (Cancer vaccines may be next, the end of the article.)

I went through the comments to check if someone hadn't already mentioned exactly this. Here you go.

I have used PowerShell since its inception, and still believe that the Monad manifesto is very relevant. However in recent years I have switched to Python for this same reason.

It's more widely available, especially outside of Windows it already has greater support for advanced features. PowerShell is not a first class contemporary to Python on Linux.

Quite easy to learn. A lot of default learn materials, tutorials, examples.

You'll also be able to find people in market with Python experience more readily (especially going forward) if you need to hire talent for your company.

This is such a missed opportunity.

The barrel should've been a Tribble.

Wonderful confirmation.

To think how hard it is to confirm these planets, for such a relatively close star. When we have already confirmed so much about objects at far greater distances.

Hard to comprehend these achievements from our individual perspectives. 👏

You know what, good. Maybe it'll cause the people who keep using Chrome because they don't give two shits about their privacy to get off their asses and use something else.

Just like whole tribes are refusing to move from WhatsApp to Signal, because they say they care about privacy, but actually they don't.

 

Seems like a relevant post to the community here. I like how the author goes into a list of alternatives, with reasoning.

I am not the author.

I found this blog to have both a short summary of the reasons as well as a pretty complete overview of the options for protecting against this specific threat model. I can just send this to people and they'll understand the why and the how.

Wonderful use case. MSF is an organization that deserves to have IT get out of the way and enable the business to do their work.

Applying these patterns as described in the presentation is a great way to ensure stability and consistency of IT in the field, so the doctors can just do the work!
