One of the few decent politicians left, who has stood up for minorities since before it was trendy, and pushed to block US military funding to Israel, didn't use the exact word you wanted him to.

Shame! Shame on him!

Pig, amazing film with a very subtle performance. The scene at the restaurant is absolutely brutal yet without any violence.

While I agree with you, it's a bit unfair to compare the two.

DE is "just" a point and click pushed to an absurd level of quality, meaning that most of the production can go into managing a story.

OW is an fps, meaning you need a gameplay loop, weapons, balancing, environments, etc etc. It's also a dark satire, not a serious philosophical work like elysium. Reading 10 pages of text on the nature of violence before you get to shoot your gun would not work.

This doesn't excuse a weak story, but does explain how it's much more difficult and costly to fit one in there. (yes bioshock, but those games are the exception in fps games).

I would love a better story, with a tightly integrated story, that would be very difficult to pull off in the current game dev space at this scale.

6 years of python and I've never really had that problem, also working on larger projects. Use poetry or uv and you'll probably be fine. Unless you're doing something strange with your dependencies. The only thing I would say is non trivial is updating the dependencies. And if a library has a bug or something you have to downgrade for. You can specify dev dependencies for notebooks and such. I've not heard of mlflow having a problem with a manager. Perhaps you're in a cloud environment and don't have access to poetry for example?

Wait, you don't have to like it, but ethical reasons shouldn't stop you?

I'm half sure that in Germany the percent is the amount of hours of work that you cannot practice due to disability. So 50% is that you can only work half of standard 40 hours/week. This is also officially certified.

Looks really slick

Every new thing I hear about pratchett is how great of a person he was. Literally never heard anything negative about him.

When he heard that trans people were identifying with the dwarves in his novels, he was like "that wasn't the intent but I'm happy all kinds of people are finding themselves in my characters", so just generally great.

To put on one of his plays, you don't pay his estate, you give a donation to a urangutan preservation society.

It's fine. I rarely comment anywhere, and it didn't really bother me that much. I'm at home with corona (already feeling better), so I had the time to give a thorough answer.

Did... Did someone on the Internet admit to not being 100% correct?!

What is happening right now? Is it the apocalypse? the end times?

Has great Cthulhu risen, neath the dark waves of the abyss to tear mind from-

Ok, a bit dramatic, but when was the last time you saw anyone give an inch in an online argument?

Anywho, thanks for the context, though I think the idea of python as a "scripting language" is a bit overblown.

a) poetry came out 6 years ago, though UV is the new kid on the block, it's easier to complain about that if you want to.

b) so, you are fighting with silly tools, but don't want newer, hopefully better tools? If you aren't fighting with silly tools, then more options is bad? I guess it's a bit confusing for beginners?

c) how are you fighting with the tools? This is a genuine question, I don't remember the last time that the tooling caused a problem and I've been working professionally with python for the last 5 years, on both small and larger projects, first I used conda, and in the last few years poetry. In poetry, it's two commands to create a new environment, and install everything. The only time I had a problem was with an internal library that had misconfigured dependencies.

d) here's the rundown on the dependency tools:

• Virtualenv is one of the oldest, from the python 2 times
• venv is just a subset of Virtualenv that was integrated into the standard library to have venvs available without external tools
• conda is not python specific, it also does R, Ruby, some DB stuff, etc... It tries for maximum compatibility with various systems. This is apparently very useful in bioinformatics which use very disparate tools.
• Pipenv is an attempt to implement ruby-like dependencies. I don't know much about it, it's not used much.
• flit is lightweight, for publishing packages only -poetry is what I am currently using. Simple toml based dependencies. Installs the packages wherever your want. Since it uses toml, it's compatible with other tools like dependi to check for updates. It's got a pretty good set of commands that you don't need to remember because init and update is what you need 90% of the time. Can also publish packages, and has separate dev/prod dependency groups.
• uv is the new one, written in rust (of course) and very fast. Also installs python versions, meaning you no longer need a separate tool/docker images to manage your python versions. No multiple dependency groups yet. Aiming to become the only tool you need to do anything in python. Still <v1.0 and not feature complete.
• pdm is more of a project manager, that allows for plug ins, scripts, and also no virtual envs if you want. Does a lot of things similar to poetry.

I mean, every one if these has a reason for existing, and is an improvement of the previous one (pdm started as a personal project, let people have their fun) . It's also a good few years between them, so it's not like they're spamming them.

So... The proper way is... Global installs? What are you saying here?

Just use poetry or something, install the environment in your project directory and you're done. The versions of your dependencies are fixed, so are consistent across installs, and because it's sandbox you aren't polluting your system, and vice versa.

And if you're using a language that installs the dependencies localy, guess what? That's what you're already doing, only with less security.
