  • Am I the only one who loves the Switch? That the joycons come off and even have their own shoulder buttons is so cool. You can just set it on a table and play some multiplayer Mario Kart, heck yes. And they snap into the ring fit circle thingie! Neat! And the Pro controller is great all around.

    Shout out to the DS Lite. Loved that thing. Gotta have the thumb strap to play that Metroid multiplayer FPS.

    Worst: TI-84. How the hell they still charging over $100 for this thing, when it has less processing power than a Palm Pilot? Seriously the CPU is from 1976. Yeah Bubble Bobble and Block Dude are great, but the Zelda port runs awful.







  • 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.)

    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.




  • 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.
