What a strange conspiracy theory to take up.

No, I didn't know about that one; the base one has MyPy and Pylint integration so I assumed it was the best version of each that they planned on implementing. I wonder why they would break out the "good version" into a separa

Compared to the TypeScript experience in the same editor, the Python experience is terrible. A little bit of that can be attributed to Python's type system being less powerful than TypeScript, but most of it is not. Things like auto-im

And you're an extremely rude person. You phrased it in context like you thought using a Mac was preventing you from using a mouse with a middle button, especially when it was right after the section complaining about the Magic Mouse.

The TypeScript integration is incredible. It's as good as a paid IDE. Python is the only other first-party extension I've used, though.

I assumed it had a "non-commercial use only" license, but looks like it doesn't! That could be perfect.

Maybe I'll give Atom a try. I switched from it to VSCode a few years ago because it just wasn't as stable and didn't perform as well, but if the Python support is better it could be worth it.

Terrifying. But the silver lining is that they're catching on to the patterns, which means they can start adjusting treatments. I think that beyond just flattening the curve, delaying one's infection date right now probably has a

Agile is one of those words that's come to mean nothing at all. It can be anything from "iterate fast and do weekly stand-ups" to "spend all of your time allocating point values to planned sprint tasks so that management

I usually see this pattern as a red flag, but as with anything, there aren't zero legitimate use-cases for it. One use-case is when you lack proper iterators. In JavaScript, the map()/filter() version can be an order of magnit

Why would you assume that bug is caused by Unity? If anything, the fact that it doesn't happen in literally every other Unity game should tell you it's specific to Hearthstone. And the fact that Hearthstone has a single codebase a

I've admittedly only done this with simple projects. But still, for those simple projects, "flawlessly" and "5 minutes" were not exaggerations. Even if a full-sized project ends up revealing some small gaps in the a

I think one of the hardest-to-replicate advantages of the big engines is ease of cross-platform builds/input/deployment. That was Unity's original killer-app (it's right in the name), and of course Unreal has caught up t

Christ, this thought is terrifying. If any company would be this shady it would be Amazon, and they have the greatest market share. And other commenters here make it sound like it's not even clearly illegal. The one point of solace is

I did something very similar, with a very similar pattern of stressing myself into inaction, though my combination of savings and freelance gigs only lasted me about 9 months. I'd hoped I would be free to the winds for the rest of my d

People keep talking about flattening the curve, which is important, but I think this kind of stuff is just as important. We're still trying to get an idea of what's even going on. The next couple months, I think, will see huge ste
