During the early days of the pandemic I put up a poster someone made which was hand washing instructions but with the text replaced with the litany against fear.

I've played maybe one game with entities in that count range (Planetary Annihilation) and I think you'd need a lot of low level engine work for something like that anyway (since it's doing all sorts of neat stuff with interpo

Godot is sort of its own thing, not a strict "object hierarchy everything" so much as "favor composition; everything is a node in the scene tree."

Hmm, I'll still need to scrounge up enough context to understand most of that, but thanks.

Agreed, Pip isn't to blame, treating `pip install -r requirements.txt` as one's sole dependency management is. You can choose to build your own dependency management practice around pip, or use one someone else has already created

I wonder if this will end up entering the lexicon like Turboencabulator.

What poetry replaces is pip and requirements.txt. Our team had a lively discussion about this, but here are some good reasons: * Keep test frameworks out of production (in case they've busted something; the two points below can happen

One thing I'd add herr here is Pydantic. It compliments the type hinting very nicely and lets you get more static with your classes. But that you don't just install, you need to use. Which is another omission, I suppose; python&#x

These are fairly close to our working environment (we're using pylint instead of Flake8, haven't switched most of our projects to poetry yet, and we use Pedantic but not MyPy yet.)

I was just thinking about this today. How many (and which?) ML books would one need to read to be able to throw comments into a model like this and have it decide if they're acceptable vs unacceptable? How practical would it be to buil

When I was first taught Java in college I didn't find out about hash maps for a while because it was considered too advanced for beginners (ohh scary templates!)

Every weird tax rule that makes your tax filing harder is a tax break for someone and that person will fight to keep it.

Pinterest is by the far the worst because it takes content from the rest of the world and strips away all context. It's the anti-wikipedia, an information black hole.

The same reason that they wrote their own parser generator instead of using Lex/YACC.

It's hard enough to achieve that in any game unless you put the player on rails. Even games the size of a city tend to have massive immersion breaking compromises (look at any Bathesda game, Cyberpunk, etc.) Now try scaling that to a w

I like this tutorial, but it's worth noting that you're building your own lisp with the author's bespoke parser generator.

An object that side won't be dissuaded with any of the firepower available to us. We'd be better off trying to build bunkers or something.

Same here. Maybe they only index people with a certain threshold number of comments or amount of karma.
