If I misunderstood it’s probably because of the way you represented yourself.
Python packaging sucks, definitely, but saying you hate Python because packaging sucks (and you do it a lot) is bit like saying you hate the US because US immigration sucks (and you travel through immigration a lot).
Sure, you could hold the opinion, but I think most people would differentiate between the two positions.
However, kudos for working on OS! I’d give you a hug if I could!
Works for Microsoft and hates Python. Checks out at least.
IMHO opinions (read: “hard takes”) on popular and useful programming languages doesn’t have to be part of any disclosure, it just creates unnecessary drama.
At the end of the day programming languages are tools, and Python is a good tool. Part hammer, part Swiss Army knife.
Sure, you can grab your compressor, a hose and a nail gun, but the fact is that with Python I can process CSV documents that excel struggle to open in less time than it will take most people to setup a new project in Visual Studio.
I fully agree that running stuff in the cloud may be good for security, but it will probably also open the door for a number of security holes that may or may not be exploited before being patched.
Giving full access to random scripts on random people’s computers is begging for problems.
Sandboxing only works until there’s an escape. But IMO that should have been the target. Proper ground up sandboxing.
On the other hand - how on earth do you make sure that it’s escape proof? I certainly wouldn’t carry that responsibility.
If it’s Python or something else doesn’t matter, but Python certainly carries a lot of the “accessibility” that VB did way back when they made VBA.
Will be interesting to see what people make of it. And if they’ve managed to make the programming interfaces better than during the VBA era.
Not that it’s my field, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this has a lot to do with the human propensity to fall for religion.
Many humans actually have genetic traits that make them more likely to become religious [citation needed].
I suspect religion is interchangeable.
I recall a research case a decade or so back, where they took a huge Apple fan and showed him Apple logos and products while doing an MRI or something and his brain lit up the same way a religious persons brain would when you show them religious iconography, like a cross.
Some people are simply followers, doesn’t matter what.
Some people like to exploit that, such as Trump and Joe Rogan. Surprised they’re not peddling NFT’s and Crypto.
People seem to think that Rockstar milked it, and still is. Lots of paid content and P2W, if I’m not mistaken?
Personally only played online for an hour or two, I much prefer the single player experience, especially the story lines.
GTA V was great.
RDR2 was brilliant, a masterpiece.
If you want to hold grievances over rockstar it shouldn’t be milking a success, it should be how they treat their developers and content creators.
But that’s an industry problem, not something specific to Rockstar.
Personally I’m happy that they take the time to make these great games instead of rushing out a title every year like some companies do, but on the other hand it was really awesome how GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas came out in rapid succession of each other and each game was bigger, better, and technically better than the previous one.
Then GTA IV and RDR came fairly quickly after that, then we got GTA V in 2013.
At some point the scope and ambition just got so big that these games now takes 8 or so years to make (RDR2).
I’m looking forward to GTA VI. And I would be surprised if it doesn’t break the $1 billion opening sale (3 first days) of GTA V.
Hard to park given the delta V necessary to get there.
Not sure if what you propose is wholly doable due to everything always moving. Ie. even at fixed points the points are not fixed, they must orbit something.
Parking would then be to move with a “fixed” point’s relative orbit.
Not disagreeing, but the article/study seemed only to be interested in phishing, as a subtype of scamming. Only reason I bothered to mention it.
There are different tactics involved in the Nigerian prince example than in most phishing attempts.
The Nigerian prince scam assumes you are a complete idiot, while most phishing attacks disguise themselves as legitimate stuff and often try to instill a sense of urgency, hoping that you act without having time to stop and think things over.
Package related scams are for instance more common around seasons where people order lots of packages, increasing chances of hitting someone who’s waiting for a package.
the fraudulent practice of sending emails or other messages purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.
I also did the same with movie journalists way back. Found their opinions rarely matched mine.
IMDb used to be a much better indicator, but after around 2010 where everyone suddenly started voting it got a lot more diluted.
It had obviously started on that trajectory before, but smartphones really catapulted it ahead.
