100% agree. Genshin is grindy AF

Sure.

Hades is up there. So many runs, so much content, $25.

Sure, for a new project. But when inheriting code I’m not in a position to pick.

The point is that the state of python package managers is a hot fucking mess compared to npm. Claiming that “npm is just as bad” (or worse) honestly seems ridiculous to me.

(And isn’t pip/venv the one the requirements.txt one? Completely flat, no way to discern the difference between direct dependencies and sub-dependencies? No hashes? Sucks when it’s time for updating? Yeah no thanks, I’d like a proper lock file. Which is probably why there are a dozen other tools.)

More like rtfms. I really didn’t feel like learning 20 different tools for repos my team didn’t touch very often.

Sorry but nah. My last job we had a couple different python microservices. There was pipenv, venv, virtualenv, poetry, Pipfile.lock, requirements.txt (which is only the top level???), just pure madness

Apparently all this shit is needed because python wants to install shit globally by default? Are you kidding?

Well, we also had a couple node microservices. Here’s how it went: npm install. Done.

Afraid you fucked something and want a clean environment? Here’s how you do it with node: delete node_modules/. Done.

Want a clean python env? Uhhhhhhhh use docker I guess? Maybe try reinstalling Python using homebrew? (real actual answers from the python devs who set these up)

Well what’s currently installed? ls node_modules, or use npm ls if you want to be fancy.

In python land? Uhhhhhh

Let’s update some dep–WHY AREN’T PYTHON PACKAGES USING SEMVER

So yeah, npm may do some stuff wrong, but it seems like it does way more shit right. Granted I didn’t really put in the effort to figure out all this python shit, but the people who did still didn’t have good answers. And npm is just straightforward and “works”.

“But JS projects pull in SOOOO many dependencies” Oh boohoo, you have a 1TB SSD anyway.

“Penny wise, pound foolish” – but they figured out they can make people argue about the pennies and keep all the pounds for themselves

Just give me WindWaker HD port since I don’t have a Wii U

Oh interesting.

But you can sell apple gift cards on eBay, yeah? Sure you won’t get the full value, but you get most of it. And as you said, in this case Roblox is taking a cut for the conversion anyway.

So it seems like they could’ve washed their hands of this by making Robux transferable/ebayable: the “casinos” would still exist, they would still benefit from the popularity of the casinos, and the Robux are still “worth something”. But they got too greedy and dug too deep by trying to become the “eBay” in the situation and take a cut off both ends, and now they might be forced to make Robux effectively worthless.

outside the Roblox ecosystem

I have no love for Roblox, but if it’s a completely different website, isn’t this kinda…not their fault?

It sounds like those IRS scams that want you to pay with iTunes gift cards – no one claims that Apple is running the scam.

The article claims they were aware and didn’t stop it, and that’s why they are at fault. Maybe they could’ve revoked the API keys for those gambling sites? But is that even how it’s set up? (I don’t actually know how Robux work.)

I’m not an infra dev, but a previous project used SOPS and it seemed alright

And despite masking, COVID spread all over the globe and killed a fuckload of people.

Would more people have died if there was no masking? Yes, absolutely.

But the question of interest is: how many fewer people would have died if we made a concentrated effort to improve ventilation in public spaces?

Maybe I’m completely missing your point, or maybe you’re just being snarky/contrarian and don’t really have a point, but it sounds like you are basically saying (reusing the above analogy) “Why are we talking about adding seatbelts to cars when we already have helmets?”

Well so there’s the question: how much more effective is good ventilation than masking? I was under the impression that it’s, like, a lot. Orders of magnitude. Like if good ventilation was equivalent to seatbelts in cars, then masking would be wearing a helmet while driving.

But perhaps someone who is better at reading scientific results could find the study and come up with a better analogy for us laymen, in case my understanding is way off base. If it’s actually that masking is more like airbags, then I think people would be a lot more amenable to doing both.

Is a “No soliciting” sign on my house also terrorism then? Wtf

Politicians occasionally like to throw money at things (PPP loans and forgiveness), so maybe we could convince them to throw it this way.

Hence inspections. Like we have health inspections for restaurants, we could have HVAC inspections.

I saw a study a while back that claimed that good filtration and ventilation systems in indoor public places were more effective than masking. If that’s the case, what I’d like to see is subsidies for businesses and public buildings to get.new systems installed, as well as new minimum air quality standards for public spaces with inspections for enforcement.

“Inflation seems really bad”

“But TVs are cheap now right”

“Yeah, but–”

“And every household needs, like, at least four TVs right? And people probably buy roughly 3 new TVs a year, right?”

“But what about food and housing and–”

“Bro they are saving so much on TVs it makes up for it! Call it 2% for the year, done”
