The third option is to install some Linux like Ubuntu or Linux Mint on it. It is nowadays actually easier to install Ubuntu Linux than a Windows. Just be sure to back up your data to an external hard drive, and restore it from there after t

The bold point really resonates with me. Lately I’ve been writing a CLI application in Python to analyse and generally handle possibly megabytes of DNA data. At first I wrote the code quickly and in haste of inspiration using some Numpy con

I just compared and evaluated Hatch, Flit, Poetry and Pdm and found Pdm to be most robust and slimmest. Hatch was a good second option, and Poetry and Hatch are easy to use, but have too much bloat and magic.

I strongly agree with this, and I have been actively using Python since 2009. Trying top keep a Pygame/Numpy/Scipy project working has been a real struggle. I started it with Python 2 and ported to Python 3 some years ago. The who

I have this exact same idea on my audio synthesis and DSP exploration project called Akasha, that I have developed on and off for more than 13 years. I have plans to open source at least parts of it, once I get to clean up the code. I was i

I have made this even easier with Rosegarden, so that you can just use a promisified browser object in both Firefox and Chrome! The library is tiny, under 5 kb. https://github.com/peterhil/rosegarden

These are my main reasons to avoid systemd as much as possible. And a bug in systemd-udev on 32-bit Linux systems that periodically halted the performance of the system into unusable state for long times that is probably never going to get

My first reaction was to see if the project is made with Commnon Lisp's ASDF, and cool now it has plugins for different languages. Common Lisp ASDF is very well thought out, but not the easiest package management system.
