Not sure what point you're trying to make talking about a case of plagiarism from back in November. If someone cuts and pastes large sections of other people's work without attribution it's plagiarism, by definition, but where does that extend to mean legitimate posters will be accused of being fake and entire entire dev teams being frauds?
Are you comfortable with plagiarism? Do you feel it's fair to the original authors?

He is bloody eloquent when in his cups and using a TV as an input device. I have no idea what he is on about but that impressed me!

I was trying to figure out what any of this had to do with sous vide... 😁

Chris,
I think you missed the point. The thread I pointed to has your moderation team publically accusing him of being a fraud on the top level post. This was unnecessary.
What makes it worse is that the article author was telling the truth.
Chris, there isn't an infinite pool of talented software engineers to mine from. I would suggest a more professional approach to vetting the talent that visit the site.

He was accused of plagiarism. And it was clear that was the case.
I'm not aware of what you mean when you say "the author was telling the truth". Where was this discussion?

We don't select the members who visit this site. This isn't that kind of site.

Your moderation team openly questioned his former MVP status. Are we reading the same thing? It's right there in the thread and it was inappropriate.
Would you rather talk about this over a phone call?

Start with steak, or fish.
Take a nice thick piece of rump (UK - in the US it's "sirloin" so it's probably the same in Canadia)
It's a tasty piece of meat, that can be quite chewy because it does a lot of the donkey work of moving the cow around. I normally trim it of the edge fat as that doesn't render in teh sous vide as teh heat doesn't get high enough.
Add butter, garlic, salt, and pepper and seal the bag - I have external, chamber, and handheld sealers and they all work (though the handheld ones are a PITA because you can't reuse the ziplock bags as they don't clean easily at all). If you don't have a sealer, you can just put the meat under the water surface and hold the top shutto let the water pressure evacuate it. It works, but it's a mess if it slips during cooking ... and holding the meat fully immersed can be difficult as well.
Preheat the Sous Vide to 65C / 150F and cook the steak for an hour (can be longer, it won't make much difference) then sear it in a very hot pan on both sides for about 30 or 40 seconds. It needs this as it will come out looking a fairly unappetising grey colour ... but it should be pink and juicy all the way through and tender as heck!
Fish: (sustainably caught) cod is trivial: in the bag, 55C, 30 minutes. Prawns: 60C, 30 mins.
Chicken, joints of beef or lamb, lemon curd, reheating chilli, stew, hotdogs, even vegetables ... there are loads of things you can cook and google will find you heaps of recipes!
I'm on my third machine (and fourth, I have a spare) and wouldn't be without it or the sealer(s) - being able to cook a slow cooker full of chilli, bag it in "double portions" and freeze it for a year or more. Then just grab a bag, throw it in the sous vide and reheat at 80C for an hour while a jacket potato cooks is great for easy meals!

If so, what you use it for? Why (if you would) would you advocate for it?
I'm learning Python and while I find it a nice RAD environment, basically the nearest thing to VB6 in 2022, there are some features that just puzzle me - not for how to use them but for when and why.

That's not a complement.
Accurate though ...

That would be the inverse 
Honestly it is almost a compliment, as VB6 was near unbeatable for writing hard and fast tools. Need to communicate with an alien artifact? VB6 and a C++ DLL then, Python and a C++ DLL now. Need to automate a couple of operations with a bunch of flags and selection? VB6 and a C++ DLL then, Python and a C++ DLL now.
Add that Python is mostly portable, it even has the same limitations (monothread) which are actually a blessing in disguise. Tkinter has even a similar graphical appearance. It allows immediate code execution. Functionally they truly are the same.

Why are so down on VB6? It is just a language, like any other. If used properly, it is good.
If not used properly, like any other language, it is bad.

It contains "On Error Resume Next" which is an abomination.

Yes, I use them quite often, to refactor lists, extract subsets etc. Section 5. Data Structures — Python 3.9.10 documentation[^] in The Python Tutorial gives some nice examples. The more time you spend with Python the more you find them useful.
Oh, and I think you need to reword element 0 of your oath.

What is the advantage of using its kind of alien notation instead of writing a standard loop that does it? Legitimately asking.

I already programmed in PowerShell, bash and VB6 (Variant, anyone?). It's more a suggestion than oath

It is just a neat shorthand, and normal loops are still better in some cases.
|
|
|
|

In addition to what Richard said, they're useful for side-effect-less list creation for simple lists.
list = []
for x in range(20):
list.append(x * 2)
vs
list = [x * 2 for x in range(20)]
That's my understanding at least. I don't really use Python.

Yep - basically whenever I need to populate a list.
|
|

Why a list comprehension and not a typical loop? Doesn't it make it harder to maintain?
