At least with pip and env, you'd have a hard time doing general tasks in python without getting to know them anyway. You can also shortcut a lot of that with a hosting service like…

Just to clarify. The concept of words having an origin and evolving over time is nonsense? I have so many more questions if that's what you're trying to say here.

Geocities, Angelfire, and Maxpages. GIFs everywhere. Backgrounds tiled with GIFs. If it didn't sparkle in some way that distracted from the content of the page, you weren't doing i…

I have no experience with modern variants of Latin, but wouldn't that be akin to trying to read Portugese when you know Spanish? You might get the general gist, but you wouldn't re…

And focuses most of their time and energy into brown nosing. Zero respect in either direction and an adversarial relationship by design any time you need resources from the company…

I said it was an easy thing to have happen, not that it would happen. I'd argue that you took my statement in bad faith, looking for a flaw in it, and generalized more aggressively…

As many people learned last year, it's easy to gloss over the parts of someone you don't like when you're both actively working towards a goal. When you start spending too much tim…

I agree. I did it towards the end of 2019 and completely torpedoed my life. Because of COVID I didn't even get to do much actual hiking or backpacking as I planned; I went out to t…

I've been voicing this for years since I found out about it working for the company that manufactures leaded fuels in the UK. Even here, I got quite a bit of dismissal. It was jarr…

I'd look into more project based "classes" instead of a rigidly taught curriculum. As more of a guided process than explicit steps, with the student getting to pick the direction t…

How's the latency on BT? I've always avoided using it because of the horror story from early models, but I might pick up a used PS4 controller for PC gaming if BT works well.

Wouldn't that mean going through the inventory system every time I want to throw more than a knife or two? That seems irrationally clunky. Like making someone use a menu for cut an…

Where are you getting 8 from? Even being generous about what counts as a difference I'm counting 6. I was already counting the "secret" ending. Two of the "choices" you can make wi…

I remember that moment. I turned to my girlfriend and said "Whelp, guess we're not playing a stealth build".

Looking back at the moments when I thought there were no bugs on my linux desktop supports his theory. It wasn't a lack of bugs, it was a lack of my ability to spot them.

Agreed. It felt like a 2010 remake to me, even on a rig with all the bells and whistles. Stunningly beautiful when you went looking for a shot, but otherwise, there wasn't much to …

No, you can't. That was a feature that got cut. The entirety of the "branching path" system is a series of 3 questions at the end of the game.

Might already know this, but your phone's hotspot should pass through the location data. We used my laptop on a couple of roadtrips where we wanted to pull the map up larger.

Agreed. Those little Lack tables are sturdy enough that they're often used as a cheap rack mounts by guitarists. Iirc they're almost perfectly a 1U width and depth, for anyone look…

Sure, but those lists exist as well, and are curated by much more qualified people than the Rolling Stones editors. /block of unsubstantiated opinions/ I don't think Rolling Stones…

Which is pretty much a given with integrated graphics. The Vega series iGPUs are worlds faster than Intel's, even going back to the 3000 series laptops.

In tech-world speak, he's basically saying innovate or die. On a long enough timeline, the entities that do the work to understand the problem and respond to it are rewarded, the e…

It's either (near) universal or communal. Anything in between gives elites so much power over the less advantaged that you see a stratification of society similar to, well, what we…

>Most people shouldn't be able to afford a car - they should be taking public transit - but they can obtain one because they take out loans. A car isn't a "want" for most people ou…
