Something I'm not seeing here that is absolutely essential is a good flashlight.

Human beings can't do shit in the dark. Useful for power outages, dark areas, and if gets late. I end up using it more than my knife tbh.

Warren in the short term, AOC in the long term.

So is a crucial part of the theory no longer "survival of the fittest?" Because that's straight Malthus.

In what way is "organisms that increase their reproductive success spread their genetic material more than organisms that don't" Malthusian? Even Peter Kroptkin, the anarcho-communist who literally wrote the Bread Book, used "Survival Of The Fittest" in his writings.

Malthus is wrong for many reasons but the biggest is that humans are not base unconscious animals who rely on genetic variation to influence their behavior. Malthus built his ideas based on uneducated people in a pre-industrial society. But with increasing education and family planning, the exponential growth that Malthus predicted is severely curved. You shouldn't reject parts of evolution because Malthus used them to justify his political theory. You should reject them if they aren't scientifically sound.

What operating system and tools should a beginner use to learn programming

Chances are you'll have to switch to whatever your job has eventually so just pick what you like. I really like VsCode personally because you can read the documentation of methods without leaving your program. The best system and tools is whatever gets you to start learning though.

I want start with python but I don't know what operating system and tools to use

Python is great and easy to learn but I think it leads to misunderstandings about how programming languages work if that's your only experience. If you can get a Programming Fund 1 class in C or C++, you can transfer over those skills to Python in a week. If you start with Python, then you'll be mostly starting from scratch if you need to learn other languages. But it's entirely your choice.

In terms of programming institutions (universities bootcamps, etc..), do each institutions have its own preference or does it let its student choose?

My university had Windows for the public computers but as long as you turned in your code it didn't matter where it was written. I know lots of people who used a Linux VM that they carried on a USB stick. They completed their assignments just fine.

Okay so they're going to be doing that immediately once they've bombed everyone enough.

If you believe your vote doesn't matter, you either believe: all votes are not equal (within a given election).

Yeah, like I explained in my original comment in great detail exactly how and why certain votes are not equal.

I struck a nerve with the redditor comment considering you responded to that 4 word sentence but not the paragraph explaining basic American Electoral structure.

Mostly nostalgia and all the in-jokes were jokes I was there for. It's the same reason you enjoy watching movies/tv you've already seen.
