Very new to learning C/C++ and I taught myself some basic ways to incorporate C/C++ into Python to optimize performance and create a Python package that utilizes C/C++ DLLs (I have both a C and a C++ DLL in this example) and bundles the DLLs with redistribution. #Python

I’ve always maintained that all work has dignity, the Union Way of Life is sacred, and that it’s past time we pay people a livable wage.

It's outrageous that you bent the knee to Donald Trump like a coward, and now millions of people will lose their healthcare because of you and your 7 colleagues. Now the Republicans will shutdown everytime there is a disagreement because they will assume people like you will break at some point.
It’s outrageous that the Trump administration has been using cruel tactics that deprive people of their rights during immigration enforcement.
I’m proud to help introduce a bill to protect immigrants’ right to contact their legal counsel and families. Everyone must be treated equally under the law.

It's crazy how much interests and passions change over time. I always think to myself "If I got to turnback time to 2012 when I was an incoming college freshman with the order of passions and interests I have now, I would have majored in computer science/software engineering and physics."

I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative.
Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

I'm not sure what the best path forward is. The only but major issue I take with this approach is the fact, I don't want our federal employees to constantly be used as pawns and bargaining chips, it's very unfair and degrading for them. They have bills to pay as well and can't always be furloughed.
If Republicans in Congress refuse to extend the ACA premium tax credits, should Democrats allow the government to shut down again when the Continuing Resolution expires on January 31, 2026?

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:
⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen
Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

The collapse of Roosevelt's New Deal Coalition and the elections of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush were some of the worst things that has happened to modern America. Only thing worse in the past 50 years than the elections of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush is the election of Donald Trump.

A Democratic super majority and a Democratic WH can reverse all this damage the GOP is doing. People need to stop falling for the divisive GOP culture war games and realize they are being hurt and screwed by the GOP. The GOP is doing irreparable harm to even their own voters who rely on ACA.
The only way to fix this GOP mess is to bring back the New Deal Coalition. I really think it's now or never after seeing how well Democrats did last Tuesday night from centrist moderates like Abigail Spanberger to DSA Zohran Mamdani. Focus on working-class issues like affordability is how to win.

I started with casually teaching myself Python in 2022 (religiously since June 2023). I'm teaching myself C# and then maybe Java thereafter to learn how to make desktop applications. Also going to start dabbling in C/C++ for the purpose of optimizing the speed at which a Python script executes.

The best way to learn is to teach. Watch some tutorials ---> play around and experiment ---> develop an example ---> build on that example ---> demonstrate that example to others.
