  • “The other two functions work similarly” noo I wouldn’t say that! :D On a very abstract way, maybe. But especially to a beginner, they don’t. One just processes it’s input a bit (casting) while the other displays text, reads from stdin, etc.

    I believe OPs confusion stems exactly from presuming strong similarities between all functions, while only float() and int() are similar and input() being a completely different thing (relatively speaking…)







  • It’s better. Not good. Better than other tools, at least in the eyes of the many people using it. But as I stated at another post, to me this speaks to the fact that we need better FOSS alternatives for whatever purposes discord is used. I don’t like Discord either, don’t get me wrong! But so many people using it means something’s missing and I don’t think it cab solely be explained by the lack of knowledge of existing solutions but at least partly by the existence itself.

    Speaks to the fact that we apparently need better and new alternatives or make current tools easier to use.

    Certain aspects of discord seem to resonate with people (unfortunately…).

    Man pages are great as mentioned, but maybe not as accessible to some people. Are there tools to generate more convenient resources (e.g. wikis) from that? Similar to how generating technical documentations from (structured) code comments.






  • But what if you don’t actually want it, but you are addicted because other people exploit the psychology of humans?

    One could argue that it’s “their fault”, but then everything is ones own fault. Furthermore this wouldn’t change the fact IMHO, that we shouldn’t prevent people from exploiting or harming other people, yk what I mean?

    Anyways, as this doesn’t seem to be a loot box or such, I think I agree with you here mostly.
