Python is fine, or maybe Java. They’re both widely used and therefore “versatile” — because what matters there is not the language itself but the libraries and such that are easy to find and use. Python is probably easier to get started and do fun things with, but Android apps are typically Java which might make a difference since you mentioned mobile apps.

The only legit reason to use javascript is if you need something that runs in a web browser. Unless you do need that, pick a better language.

ratcheting down every year until it reaches 74 grams per mile (46 grams/km)

The time for wrangling about the exact levels of emissions limits is past. The limit should be zero. Actual zero, not “zero emissions” where zero is defined as some non-zero amount that’s substantially less than average.

“But what about the economy?” I am asked. If this marvellous, stable, infinitely ingenious economy is worth saving, then it will find a way to adapt efficiently to the change.

The other one’s for left-handed people.

Yeah, I thought so. Billionaire-backed proposals to spy on everyone have so much in common around the world.

I don’t know if it will help to ask lemmy for advice about the effects of soaking 325 GSM cotton in citric acid. I think you may already be the world’s leading expert on the idea of soaking clothing in citric acid.

Other than that though, if mildew is growing on your drying laundry I can only guess that you might want better ventilation or to wait until it’s not raining.

“Hacker” and “AI” are words made mostly useless by widespread misunderstandings about what they mean. “Baud” and “GIF” are words made more useful by people not caring about the technical details of what they used to mean.

That does not make it impossible to say things about hackers or AI. If you’ve got something substantial to say on either topic it’s not that hard to make it clear in context that you’re using the word in an unusually correct way.

Not at present, but I have spent time living in the stereotypical suburbs where nobody walks anywhere.

The only day of the year children are allowed to go on foot beyond the end of their home driveway.

I love that there are still people learning that for the first time. Keep it going.
