I don't think this game is for me but still congrats on building something! A quick side note: I kept getting notifications for unlocked achievements that I certainly did not fulfill the requirements for, e.g. "Play a whole season

Can you point to some aspects of the style that are typical of ChatGPT? I have never done any story generation and after reading the first couple of paragraphs, I could not tell whether this was AI-generated or not.

The claim is not that they play about 33% of every game but that they completely finish about 33% of all games they play.

The thing about the anti-piracy is true, at least in the original version (I don't know about re-releases). The way it worked was you had to offer at least a few pizzas that were reasonably close to recipes from the booklet in order to

For us, the DX of uv for dependency management is much better than just using pip and requirements.txt. To be clear though, we only use uv in the builder stage of our docker builds, there is no uv in the final image.

Kind of off topic but I don't understand the reading time. It says "7.8h 48m". What does that even mean?

I respect your ability to react to such a post in this way. All I could think was "What the fuck?!"

If you want to combine a mixin with a base class you have no control over, just put the base class last in the inheritance chain. Then it does not matter if it calls its super __init__.

This is actually covered by the --locked option that uv sync provides. If you do `uv sync --locked` it will not succeed if the lock file does not exist or is out of date. Edit: I slightly misread your comment. I strongly agree that having n

Was there any particular reason you stopped making music? I'm listening to one of your mixes right now and I'm wondering if you were influenced by Klangkarussell at all (or maybe the other way around?) or if that was just the gene

I'm not sure I understand the sequence with the rhino. Is he actually killing the rhino by drilling a hole in its back and lighting a stick of dynamite inside the hole? Or am I reading this wrong? That seems pretty out there.

I would also say absolutely. We've been using pipenv for ~6 years and have managed to build a pretty good workflow around it. But uv is just _so much faster_. So we've started moving everything over to uv and I don't think we

What they mean is that in Java, for example, a method has to explicitly state which exceptions it might throw as part of its signature. Note that they said "throws", not "throw". Python does not have that.

There used to be a list of people on the about page but they changed it, apparently. Here's a snapshot that still shows it: https://web.archive.org/web/20240415120557/x.ai/about I don't know enough

I noticed that for every movie on the list that I like, I can totally see how others might not. But for most movies that I dislike, I just don't get how people can genuinely enjoy them. I don't know what that says about anything b

You might enjoy the podcast "372 pages we'll never get back". It's basically a bad book club. The title is a reference to the first book they cover which is Ready Player One. They are on Book 23 or so at the moment, more

A full circle is 360° and a curved piece makes a turn of 30°, so you need 360° / 30° = 12 pieces turning in the same direction to make a full circle. Every time you use a piece turning the other way, you need to add an extra piece turn

Norway may be small in terms of population but it's still one of the richest countries in the world. I doubt they are doing this for the money.

I guess that's because most of the non-renewable electricity is generated with lignite so even with the 85% renewables generation the map shows at this moment, there are still significant CO2 emissions.

That is actually an occasional problem for us because identifiers, including Enum values in Python (and probably some other languages) cannot start with a digit.
