Right, but an integration of a dotnet like this is going to need to be maintained across versions, and 2021 is just 6 months from now. It is unlikely that a big version increment like this will be less than painful for such an integration,

This perspective is a tragedy, and is just not the case. Guess what--It's hard to get a good job with a criminal record, and it's easy to have a criminal record when you are black/brown. So you take a bad job. And with that j

And yet, aren't we nearly on to Unreal 5? I'd much rather write C# than C++, but I'm a big believer in just adopting whatever is standard practice for the space your in. It's a great opportunity to learn the language, an

I appreciate aesthetic beauty of rooms, buildings, and interfaces, but to me what has jumped the shark is the entire conversation about icons, fonts, and toolbars. No one can explain why the icons, fonts, and toolbars from 3 years ago aren&

Oooo well said. One of the first programs I ever wrote was a scraper for such an ASPX site. Parsing state ids and reposting them over and over again... what a joy it was.

I want space colonies as much as the next guy, but we really need to try to end homelessness, poverty, and extreme gaps in wealth inequality. Otherwise the rich will just fly off into the sky after they are done with the planet anyway. The

And that's the thing... a chromebook isn't even 20% a mac book.. It's probably like 10%. 10%! You can have 10. You can have... 10! Enjoy your chrome book while mountain biking! Don't feel like carrying it back down the m

My jaw is on the floor. How did you get so much malware and such poor hardware? I love my iphone 7 and my macbook air from 2013--no doubt, they are very good. But I could throw my windows pc in the garbage and rebuy it a couple of times ove

I think the problem is the way they lock in their users by holding their personal data hostage in heir ecosystem. Your music in itunes. Your already-paid apps in the appstore that won't transfer to android. Your ridiculously expensive

Hehe. But has anyone ever shipped code that won't compile? I think not. A compile time error is a caught error. A run time error may be, or perhaps not.

I love Python, and generally I agree, but the place where an error is raised can be significantly distant from the event that occurred which caused it. The lack of static typing can really make it difficult to find such bugs sometimes. A st

It ran fine with all the file types we tested! A dependency loads the file into a custom type, but it handles this file type differently! Now it's a stinky old NoneType. :( :( :(

That it is difficult and most people have "better things to do", fine, I can agree that this can't work for like, all computer users. But if you really care about security, and if you are managing a linux OS where you have a

And on top of this, it's usually not "some idiot" calling the function from a REPL. It's "some idiot's code", which may not be executed until the program is running in production somewhere if it is rare. &

The moment you delegate your security or stability concerns to a third party, all bets are off. Period. Package maintainers, RedHat, whoever. Maybe the patch fixes a vulnerability, maybe it creates one. Maybe the company pushing security is

I am strongly prone to skipping breakfast and drinking black coffee all day long, but I honestly do feel like it leaves me with less energy at the end of the day, and makes me less likely to exercise. If you are overweight, any weight loss

That seems perfectly reasonable by analogy, yet completely unfortunate. Personally speaking, would you prefer a network barrier that actually limits international communication to a toothless enforcement of something like GDPR? In practice,

I'm inclined to agree with you actually, and in spirit, I definitely do. But what's to stop a European from hosting content on USA servers, posing as USA company, and violating their regulation--even specifically targeting users l

I actually agree that hackernews has a better feed of aggregated content, and I that there are brilliant people lurking in the comments. But that's the main content, and about 5% of the comments. From the article: "This pattern is

I'm sorry man, but you sound incoherent to me. You can write a compiler for python in python--but it still needs the original cpython (or jython, or ironpython, or pypy, etc.) to run, because there is no compiled binary produced by you

Pygame is all this is. I'm not saying that it's the only way. It's probably one of the worst ways in my humble opinion, though I can't really say that without understanding their vision for the project tbh. Should I assu

by bonestormii_ 6y ago
You are mistaken. Pygame depends on CPython, as it is a C extension. Under the hood, even this window manager is mostly C.

by bonestormii_ 6y ago
I mean, okay, you don't need vi or awk to call it Linux. But surely you agree that CPython is needed to run Python, yes? Its interpreter is written in C. To build it, you need a shell, make, gcc, and a text editor would be most helpful

This is a very fun-looking project. However, in the GNU/Linux world, "user space" is a very broad term referring to everything running outside of the kernel. In order for this to be a "Python user space", you would

I love this short post. Software development is fundamentally hard, despite many frequent statements to the contrary by the "everyone should be a programmer" folks. It requires uncommon persistence, and a love (if not an aptitude

To me, this the major paradigm shift is away from native clients to a model that, at the very least, allows for the entire client to be re-downloaded every time the application is loaded, which is the case in the current web app landscape
