  • There is a difference between well-written female characters that also happen to be strong vs hollow, soulless, undeveloped charachters whose only defining feature is being a “strong female character”.

    See the difference beetween Ellen Ripley, Sarah Connor, Leia, Padme, Rita Vrataski, Gamora, Nebula, Naomi Nagata[1], and so on vs Galadriel (rings of power), Capitan Marvel, Ironhearth (MCU), She-hulk and whatever happened in Star Wars Acolyte (I could go on like this for a long time, but I think that you get what I mean already).

    [1] I even included modern examples, to highlight that it’s not old good, new bad






























  • Do you know why sharp is added to the end of programming languages? Like c sharp and f sharp?

    There was (and still is) a language called C. Then C++ was invented. And then C#, maybe because # looks kinda like 4 pluses.

    There is also another programming paradigm, called functional programming. F# is a functional programming language and runs on the same platform as C# (that platform is called .NET). That’s why they named it F#.

    Actually, I don’t even know if it is pronounced c sharp or f sharp. I just assumed it was the same as music.

    Yes, it’s pronounced see sharp.
