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 Heroku, which takes on a lot of the mental overhead fo

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 it right. What a time to be alive.

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 really get the full underlying meaning. You'd c

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 than I did.

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 time together, it's easy to have the relati

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 the west coast and everything shut down basically as soo

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 jarring, really reminded me how little most people understa

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 they'll go in. That's what taught me

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 and paste.

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 without meeting the criteria are real

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 invest into. Especially once I realized there wasn&#x27

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.

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 looking into a home lab. Add a couple of corner bracke

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're seeing now. Here's a quarantine project f

My partner really picked up cooking in the last couple of years. We hardly ever go out anymore. Every time we get a craving she says "Yeah, we could go to a crowded restaurant... or I could make it better". Without fail, she does.

Except you have no reason to use those things, unless you specifically go out of your way. In Woz's day, you HAD to work on that level to work with budget systems. The same opportunity may exist, but the same motivation does not.

I go back and forth on the value of a "devil's advocate". I hope someone else will chime in to help me out if I don't explain this eloquently. This is a case where I believe the topic won't be properly discussed unl
