pip and venv are neither shiny nor new, it's the standard way of doing things for a while. I am an outsider to python and am incredibly thankful for this standardization, because i agree getting python env set up correctly before venv

Are they not using venvs or something? It should be as simple as python -m venv venv; ./activate; pip install -r requirements.txt

Don't forget to cite your sources! The nerds will rake you over the coals for not doing so.

I have been looking to migrate to something else but my fear with iocage is that I'm going to be in the same situation a few years from now. What's the current hotness? Bastille?

So FreeBSD supposedly has full Linux kernel emulation or something to that effect. To the point where you can run Debian in a jail without virtualization? I am wondering if it is possible to rig up Docker to work in that? Because I really a

> What do you mean by state ? External state. Class vars, instance vars, even (gasp) globals. OP goes on some slight tangents/comments regarding FP and state management which inspired my comment.

Why do so many feel so strongly against state? In my 10+ year programming career not once have I ever wished something was functional. State simply is, dealing with it is a foundational concept in writing code. "It's harder to tes

Isn't there a way you can shoot the whole apparatus into the sky while it is inert and then activate in space?

You'll need someone to let you borrow their switch and dump their bios/firmware keys. I am not aware of any emulation that works without this ritual having been performed on real switch first

The new Intel GPUs supposedly deliver pretty good value for money, they're around a geforce 1080 in performance or something? So that number might be increasing. You can play a lot of indie games perfectly fine on integrated hardware

It is terse for a reason. You're ordering a parser around in 10 characters. Which makes them fit everywhere! A longer more readable version starts taking up multiple lines and looking like shitty react code. Or you're just using y

Not everything has to be super easy-to-use.

All I can really say then is, be the change you want to see in the world. We're all just writing code to scratch our own or others' itches, everyone has differing opinions on what is good or not.

LUG = Linux User's Group? That's more of a fan club... If you accidentally delete the comments you can usually look the file up online, sometimes even just googling the name of the file will do the trick. Sometimes there's a

Awful? It is inscrutable black magic and it is wonderful once you get it. I haven't touched perl in years but I still find myself writing regex often!

Defeatist? How? We don't just put anyone in a vehicle, they have to have a license. That's a bit much for a computer but what is wrong with having to learn?

Some of those design choices are pretty good, they stick around for good reason. Everything is a file/chaining together tiny commands/text-based configuration files are computing zen for a large portion of users. A lot of text con

yeah because clicking through half a dozen nested dialogs to change my DNS settings is good fucking design Or even better, for many things the option doesn't exist any more? Why? Because fuck you thats why! I just LOVE watching Windows

Yeah, forgive me for thinking that people need to meet the computer halfway. I keep forgetting that most are too stupid that they cannot be trusted to make effective use of such powerful machines.

Of course... the specifics of routing so many rides at scale is certainly non-trivial. But in 2019 they had 26k employees, 32k in 2022 according to https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/UBER/uber-technolo.

It's not being edgy, that is literally the root of what makes vulgarity vulgarity. That and the bodily functions stuff. The former is fictional and the latter is natural. Oh no god is going to ruin our harvest because I asked him to da

Please no. We need to stamp out this notion of 'vulgarity' and normalize this vocabulary. People cower behind being offended by fictional incantations that supposedly anger nonexistent deities. We need to stop allowing people bein
