You're absolutely correct, and in my experience authors with physics background are even worse.

I've seen algorithms that I know by heart, understand fully and have implemented tens of times represented in such a way that I can't even recognise them.

Thanks, I've only heard of sixel, but never really read into it. Sounds promising.

Tagging @cadekat@pawb.social as they've asked the same question.

Last night i was failing because of some VS components missing (iirc cl.exe, which was actually not missing at all).

Today, I've reinstalled Windows 10, to get a fresh start and follow wingtk's guide. First of all it failed as "choco install python" (as mentioned in the guide) installs python 3.12, which does not include distutils.

After that I've tried uninstalling python and installing python --version 3.10.11 with choco and got the same error as gvsbuild still defaulted to python 3.12, even after a few reboots.

Not knowing how to clean it up, decided on reinstalling Windows again, and installing python 3.10 only. Half an hour ago the build process failed for some (probably) network related issues ( ).

Currently I've installed a driver for the wireless card instead of using the built in one, and the build process has been stuck at "Opening https://download.gnome.org/sources/pango/1.51/pango-1.51.0.tar.xz ..." for at least the last half hour.

As for msys2, I haven't went that route yet, as I can't quite understand what it is and what it does. I can understand even less how to package a package installed with msys2 using either PyInstaller or nuitka, to have a (hopefully) single file executable, as I'm trying to distribute the app to my students, which are extremely non-technical.

I wish there was something like Wine for Windows.

Don't know if you're into that kind of minimal, but lately I've been using epy and it is just amazing.

I was thinking of running jellyfin, and have been experimenting with it for the last few days.

What do you mean by streaming services not supporting PCs? I've had both HBO Max and Prime running perfectly on Linux.

I'm not rrleally sure how calash clients work, but maybe you can sync them manually with something like Syncthing.

While you're absolutely correct, in my personal experience Manjaro has been perfectly stable even with somewhat heavy use of the AUR.

Exactly. Mate tried emulating this behaviour, but it wasn't very successful.

As far as I know Ubuntu had to patch a lot of packages to make it work properly. I guess no one has the manpower to do that for such a niche feature.

If you setup a community for pulsar, you have a guaranteed subscriber in me. And if you're one of the devs I can't thank you enough for your work.

Got into the franchise with NV and it is still one of my favorites. Played 1, 2 and 3 while waiting for 4. It turned out to be one massive disappointment. I don't think I even played half of it.

On the other hand, at the time I found my fix in Wasteland 2.

You're absolutely right.

Yeah they are fantastic with new apps and phones.

I think that's mostly because most commercial apps have fantastic ui and ux.
