the main issue presented in the meme is that python is “weird” because it doesn’t have a default launch entrypoint like rust (I think) and c/c++. Both are compiled languages and python is generally not. When python is used in a compiled manner (wheels) however, it also does have a way to specify entrypoints, so the meme is comparing specifically compiled languages with interpreted scripting languages.

However, python is not weird at all about not having a general entrypoint in the scripting interpreted form, because all the other interpreted scripting languages work like that! Examples include all shell script languages like bash, zsh or fish, and other languages like javascript or R are similar.

The one I responded to however stated that they don’t care that bash is similar because bash is also “insane” or “not sane”, but as previously stated in this comment, all scripting languages have a lack of a funcion based entrypoint for their scripts, so I wonder which language are they using for their fast scripting if even bash is “not sane” for them.

My underlying point that i was trying to make in my first comment on this chain is that complaining that tools that are used in different use-cases are not similar is a pretty uneducated take that clearly shows a lack of diverse experience in the field.

Note: In my first comment on this chain I was expanding upon the comment of the one I responded to, as you can see that they are making a similar point when specifying that python’s example is a different thing than the ones on top.

You mean the “want to be zsh but with a specific config instead of having the liberty to do anything” shell? /s

Jokes aside, regardless of your shell of choice, in companies there are tons of scripts that launch programs, processes and so on, that will generally be coded in bash. Scripts that process files, take the output, send emails… All in a single script. The shell of remote nodes won’t be zsh or fish, it will be bash, and a lot of them won’t even have vim installed, only vi. Like it or not, bash is heavily used in a looot of places.

It’s my fucking keyboard. I’m all in for open source and stuff but it’s too much, I had to go back to proprietary ones because the other ones just suck for multi language inputs :(

What other saner languages do you use for scripts, though? All scripting languages share the particular complaint showcased in this post.

I’m gonna repeat what I wrote in another comment. You are comparing the default interpreted way of running pythong to a compiled language. When you compile a python program into a wheel, you define the entry points of the code on it, and they point to functions like main() or whatever you define.

You aren’t complaining that a index.js doesn’t automatically run the main function when run by node, or that bash doesn’t also have a default main function execution. Interpreted languages oriented to scripting won’t have the same rules as compiled languages.

programming languages aren’t usually cursed, what’s cursed is the way some people decide to structure their programs. I’ve seen some stuff.

Agreed, when building the wheel in python we can also define entry points like a main function, and run it the same way the compiled C code is run.

These people are comparing the interpreted raw python code to a compiled C binary. My dudes, bash doesn’t have a main function either and no one is fucking complaining.

When you say Chromecast, do you mean that you cast the android app to the TV? Because that experience is fine, its the native androidtv app I’m complaining about. And it’s not only the player, the android app is able to select the subtitles on the menu before launching the MPV player. In any case yeah, I’ll test the performance of the android app casting and just do that.

Oh, but I will. For it to be a fork of enby, it’s fucking amazing how bad the androidTV app is in comparison. The media player has improved,but its still way slower then using an external one,which is weird. It also freezes for a solid 5 seconds minimum every time I swap subtitles (while the vlc external player does it on the fly), and it makes me change subtitles every single time I load a chapter. Envy’s player lets the user set a preferred subtitle language and it makes an effort to preselect one. Not only that,but you can seal that on a series basis and you can select the subtitle before starting the video on the user interface.

It has improved since I last tried it and at least it doesn’t die while transcoding or whatever, but the difference in performance of the android app/web version to the androifTV app is crazy. It would be better to adapt the android/web version of the app the manage a TV input than make the androidTV app actually useable…

Besides that its amazing :)

I rescind most of what I said because I just checked that the android app has TV casting (it didnt last time I checked) and the android app does have the preselecting and the player is waaaay smoother. Its comical that casting is a better user experience then using the native app but whatever.

ProtonDB is older then the steamdeck my dude, protonb was released alongside proton, which released on 2018, while the deck is from 2022.

In any case, I agree with you, it’s a very reliable source of game support. Mainly because it’s user reported haha.

None of the groups is K-pop, one is techno metal and the other is baby metal :)

Jokes aside, the only thing baby metal has similar to Kpop is that it’s an idol group, but their genre is not pop at all.

I’m just saying that, one of the oldest known written texts, waaay before than when the old testament was written, is a customer complaint where they mention copper coins as currency. We don’t know how common copper coins were, but saying that capital based societies are “young” is not correct either.

Is it? I’m pretty sure private property and ownership was a thing in the middle ages. People selling stuff to make a living, merchants… Isn’t the oldest known text some babylonian dude complaining about the faulty products of a merchant?

As interesting as it is…

Using the snap package is recommended if supported.

Ew

I had issues like that about a week ago, when gaming the system was super sluggish. It turns out that an update put the render under CPU instead of GPU, as in, without hardware acceleration, or software based.

Some do have a slight phallic essence to them but… Just draw a face with a knife or prinkles or whatever fits the theme and it’s fine.

Fyi, using a condition to assign a boolean is equivalent to assigning the condition itself. No need for the IF.

A minute long test sounds awfully short for something that will cost millions if it fails.

Testing in real life when failure is so expensive is less than ideal, any controlled closed environment is better if it means you avoid failure. The very next paragraph from the one I quoted mentions how another rocket spent weeks in testing this specific matter and was delayed because they found the issue.

I’m paraphrasing what i read some NASA dude said about spaceX, but basically, if they failed as much as spaceX did they would be out of their jobs yesterday. Also, you know who takes the cost of these failures right? It’s the US government through all the expensive spaceX contracts and tax breaks they sign. Each blown rocket makes the contract renewal more expensive.

But also, fuel leaks are really common with rockets, and we know how to prevent them from happening. The fuels rockets use can escape through the tiniest of faults, and the complex fuel systems they use have numerous potential points of failure. As such, it is standard practice to find these potential leaks with intensive pre-flight checks to identify and solve these issues before they escalate into a catastrophe.

It’s pretty standard practice apparently, it IS embarrassing.

but imagine if you could set it to the same time but different distance, it would allow you to teleport, that might be too strong.

You, sir, are a genius. Can it be changed from settings?
