Really surprised no one has mentioned Ruby. It's installed by default on almost every system out there (unlike python), it will have the same features on every platform (unlike python where you might get 2.7 or 3.x depending. It's simple and easy to read, and only slightly more verbose than bash. It's very well suited for scripting (please don't use it for application work). It also took a lot of its design from Perl, which a bunch of people are mentioning in this thread, and as a result has a ton of the features of perl, along with a ton of features from other languages. Rust is heavily based on Ruby's design, and i've used Rust to create cli programs and I wouldn't recommend it. It's good, but most cli programs don't need the difficulty of rust for the benefits that rust gives.

Anyway, python has a really really good cli library called Click, but that's about the only good thing about it. If you are looking to use this script on multiple systems then Ruby will be much easier to transfer between systems (it will just work). I've deployed complex python, rust, and ruby CLIs across an org and Ruby was the only easy one. Rust was second easiest, Python absolutely terrible.

If you're not deploying this to other platforms or sharing it across a team or something like that then a lot of the downsides and upsides here don't really matter. Just use the easiest language.

Just so you know, companies already use drones for roof surveys. I work for sunrun and we use them to analyze roofs for solar installations and whether roofs need to be fixed before hand.

There are!! https://rebble.io I still have mine but haven’t used it since they got bought. I really do miss it, it was great.

Well it sure does sound like advertising won doesn’t it. I completely stopped using Google it is so bad now.

We could easily get Israel to hold off on attacks. It would start with not funding them.

As soon as you go down the path of customization for “special clients” you’ve already lost the battle. Business needs to agree to not sell something like that. I’m not being helpful here, but as soon as you’ve started customizing like that to get massive clients it will never end and it will just slowly suffocate your company.

Sorry I’m having trouble understanding what you’re asking for. You’ve done 418 searches in a single day? That would be 12958 a month so I’m not sure I’m reading your comment correctly.

Does it also work with very specific technical searches?

That’s pretty much exactly what I use it for.

Could it for example search for the behavior of when it encounters an alphabetical character?

I’m not sure what you’re asking here.

Apple is still releasing security updates for the iPhone 6s… that’s over 8 years of phone updates. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222

So are you saying that Facebook Groups aren’t social media either? That’s a forum like site. Tumblr isn’t social media either?

Correct, facebook groups is not facebook. It's forum software hosted at the same url as facebook. Same as Facebook Marketplace. Marketplace is not facebook. It's craigslist. It just happens to be hosted at the same url as facebook. Just like StackOverflow Chat is not question and answer software even though it's literally hosted at the same url. Just like your phone is not social media even though you both create communities on it and communicate with people on it. If you don't understand how servers work behind the scenes then maybe that doesn't make a lot of sense to you, but a url is nothing more than a sign to put on the front of your building. You can then teleport the user to anywhere else in the universe and it can have absolutely nothing to do with the original location at all. This is the framework of the internet.

Lemmy and Reddit both fall under these definitions.

literally every single website on the entire planet meet those definitions.

Not sure what you mean by this… Reddit has had chats and PMs for a long time.

You cannot interact with your followers. I didn't say anything about communicating with individuals that you see around the site. You have no way to know who your followers are you have no way to message your followers. You have no way to interact with your followers. Reddit is a forum software, exactly like every forum software before it.

Neither Lemmy nor Reddit are anonymous. They’re pseudonymous. Something like 4chan where you don’t even need an account is anonymous.

accounts have nothing to do with anonymity, maybe you're using some layperson's version of anonymity, but anonymous means it does not require real information. reddit and lemmy are anonymous.

ok yes, you're correct. I meant physical health, like air pollution. I just worded it badly.

social media didn't come about until after the advent of facebook so yes, by definition it excludes anything before then. Forum software existed for decades at that point. At no point in time has forum software ever been included in anyone's social media definition, except it seems like you.

When you use 1/10th the searches because you get it all in the very first query your usage goes wayyyy down. even then, you aren't limited to 300 searches. you can go over, you just pay per search. and even with that if you can't do that then just default to DDG then. I found DDG to be terrible, not at all better than Bing by itself, so Kagi was something I tried and immediately fell in love with. It just works. And I don't have to worry about any of my data going anywhere at all, to any advertisers for anything, or for tracking, etc.
