It’s not film, but the Apple II (1971) used a monochromatic display or something for technical reasons. I’m trying to find the quote but unfortunately I can’t so this is from memory. It was something like going with black and white allowed them a better frame rate/resolution over color (and for cheaper).
It’s possible similar tradeoffs existed for monochromatic film into the '90s.
I think it’s because we always imagine artists as being from the olden times.
Too difficult. Much easier to send someone out of orbit than into the sun.
Yayyyy, right as Windows 10 is going EOL and Windows 11 doesn’t work on BIOS systems we’re seeing a big increase in prices!
In college I remember there was a building not a lot of stuff was in but still sort of in the middle of campus. A lot of pathways to various areas went through some of the floors but on the highest floor nobody really went through. It was so peaceful and solitary in there. Well, maybe not peaceful. It felt a little eerie because of how abandoned it felt. But that was definitely my go to if I felt unwell and I was nearby.
No, that’s their normal one that’s not rolling.
Every time I’m doing anything with Python I ask myself if Java’s tooling is this complicated or I’m just used to it by now. I think a big part of the weirdness is that a lot of Python tooling is tied to the Python installation whereas in Java things like Maven and Gradle are separate. In addition, I think dependencies you install get tied to that Python installation, while in Java they just are in a cache for Maven/Gradle. And in the horrible scenario where you need to use different versions of Maven/Gradle (one place I was at specifically needed Maven 3.0.3 for one project and a different for a different, don’t ask, it’s dumb and their own fault for setting it up that way) at least they still have one common cache for everything.
I guess it also helps that with Java you (often) don’t need platform specific jar files. But Python is often used as an easy and dynamic scripting interface over more performant, native code. So you don’t really run into things like “this artifact doesn’t have a 64 bit arm version for python 2” often with Java. But that’s not a fault of Python’s tooling, it’s just the reality of how it’s used.
Wish I could block someone IRL like they do in this episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Christmas_(Black_Mirror)
This is the conclusion I came to and what has kept me positive. Remembering that, while there was a ton of shit happening, I had plenty of happy memories from that time too. I finally made new friends after moving out of my hometown and I’m still friends with them to this day. I remembered all the great moments and memories I made during that time.
Don’t let the bastards grind you down. Take a beat of you need it. Take it one hour at a time, one day at a time, one week at a time. You can do this.
Isn’t conda specifically for mathy things?
Okay, now give me those steps but what to do if I clone an already existing repo please
No, it’s not just you, Python’s tooling is a mess. It’s not necessarily anyone’s fault, but there are a ton of options and a lot of very similarly named things that accomplish different (but sometimes similar) tasks. (pyenv, venv, and virtualenv come to mind.) As someone who considers themselves between beginner and intermediate proficiency in Python, this is my biggest hurdle right now.
They told me gullible was on the ceiling. It sounded preposterous so I looked up to show them they must be mistaken. They were! It was not on the ceiling! Yet they all proceeded to laugh at me!
I never said it wasn’t morally reprehensible. Only that it’s less morally reprehensible than something like making weapons.
Yeah, I don’t really get the argument here. As much as it sucks, it’s not nearly as morally reprehensible as something like weapons. If you don’t do it someone else will. It’s not something a handful of devs are gonna make a difference in by boycotting and it isn’t worth being fired over or not accepting a job over.
Anytime!
It sounds really appealing! I wish it wasn’t considered experimental or I’d consider it for my daily driver.
Maybe I’m getting it confused with a different apple computer then besides the apple 2. I definitely have seen a clip talking about this. Maybe the original iMac or something.
