gbuttersnaps@programming.devto Technology@beehaw.org•‘Sputnik moment’: $1tn wiped off US stocks after Chinese firm unveils AI chatbot2·5 months agoTotally agree. Saying that “any criticism of the Chinese government is sinophobic” is the same as saying that “any criticism of Israel’s government is antisemitic.”
It’s how we did it for $10 in 2012 as well

Technically not 100%, a modern study has shown that there are 8 billion people who breathe oxygen currently living!
gbuttersnaps@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•[help] Should I use Django for a small website?0·2 years agoI’ll be honest, the only reason I originally switched was because I needed to learn flask for a work thing. I didn’t really notice any major differences in performance, but it was a pretty light website at that point anyway. I do prefer flask now, but that might just be because I’ve used it more.
gbuttersnaps@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•[help] Should I use Django for a small website?0·2 years agoI started out on django and ended up switching to flask for all my python backends, but it depends on what exactly you want. Django is very hand-holdy and does some of the work of setting up new pages/routes for you, however that does put you on rails a little bit compared to flask. Flask is more performant and customizable, but it’s slightly more effort to get going in my opinion.
Just for the sake of information, the two common ways to put this in English are “How it feels” and “What it feels like”. The former phrase is just descriptive, so it doesn’t need the “like” at the end. The latter phrase is comparative to another thing, so it needs the like. Also this is something that native speakers mix up all the time, so don’t worry too much; your English is great!
gbuttersnaps@programming.devto Feminism@beehaw.org•Women less likely than men to be given CPR in public places, research finds29·2 years agoMy first thought is that maybe because women’s chests have been sexualized, men are more hesitant to perform cpr on women in a public place. Not saying that either piece of that puzzle is right or rational, by the way. I’d be interested to see the numbers on the gender ratios of people giving cpr to women in public places to see if that lines up.
gbuttersnaps@programming.devto World News@lemmy.ml•Prigozhin plane crash live updates: Kremlin silent on mercenary chief's fate131·2 years agoThree top ranking members of Wagner on the flight, Prigozhins main connection to the oil & gas sector, and Prigozhins body squad all on board, I doubt a mercenary army is organized enough to make an actual push without their leadership. You have to remember, a huge part of the Wagner ground forces were recruited from prisons and told “If you live 6 months on the frontline, you earn your freedom.” I doubt most of the soldiers are actually loyal to Prigozhin, they just saw an opportunity for freedom from Russian prisons.
Having worked for a state government which maintained data for federal submissions in 15 different versions of the same giant excel file on 15 different computers, it’s scary how accurate this is.
