it’s never seeing the kitchen that makes me go to the restaurant again

could have invented another weekend day instead, that’s some corporate lobbying right there

it’s more effort and care compared to a throwaway script, not necessarily compared to other languages

it’s easier to piss of a Brazilian, but it’s easier to piss off a German

yeah, all that setup sucks even after being writing python for years.

Nowadays I’ve been running every project with uv and it’s a much better and faster experience, usually in 3 steps: 1. initialize, 2. add dependencies, 3. run project:

# if the project doesn't already have a pyproject.toml with dependencies, initialize it
# uv will also install the right interpreter if not present:
uv init --python 3.13

# anything you would install with pip, use uv add:
uv add dep1 dep2

# run the project / script
uv run main.py

Then in future runs (as long as you have the pyproject.toml), you can just do uv run main.py (shorthand to uv run python main.py), even when there’s no venv created. No more activating virtual envs. No more long interpreter installations. No more accidentally messing with system’s packages or the PATH variable. With the uv.lock that’s also a lot more reliable to reproduce than requirements.txt and similar.

That’s a proficiency matter. Python is the language I can get something done the fastest today, but 6 years ago that would be Java or even JS for me.

I was never into any sport and after a few attempts of going to the gym and lasting a few months at best, I doubt I’ll ever like it. Walking is fine, but it’s not an option for most of the winter and it’s not enough on its own for me.

Exactly! I’ve wasted more time hunting missing semicolons in languages that use them, than fixing wrong indentation in Python.

You can totally write heavy duty things if you know what you’re doing: use type hints, static checkers, tests, etc. It just takes a bit more effort and care.

and yet I don’t feel like doing anything at all

my brain is sabotaging my body

It’s for ads. A wasteful beacon of light pollution for ads.

Prefer Patreon or other means. YT takes 30% of that money, and including bs like processing fees that’s more like 36%. Patreon’s share is 12%.

He gets it. No wonder why I pay for every game I play, but I refuse to sign up to streaming services again.

If I can get better quality in almost every aspect for free, your service is really crappy.

I’ve seen plenty of grad student code, abundance of OOP concepts was never an issue. Complete lack of any structure on the other hand…

Tbh if the average grad school student overused object oriented stuff they would produce vastly better code than the status quo.

man touch

yeah, discord the the true black hole of information

colleague of the marketing guy that just makes up metrics to pretend to his boss and stakeholders that their work on ads makes any difference

the least I’ve seen was 6 months. If I had to change passwords every 90 days I’d spam them with articles showing this is idiotic every month.

and only because the system forces users to renew passwords every year and this is his third year
