I'd argue that the concept of isolated environments is great. Python's implementation... leaves something to be desired.
It's still a bit hacky, even in Python 3. Tools like uv and pdm exist in the gaps to smooth it out.
That said, it's something that the core community is actively working on and it's not something users will face day to day.
I say this as someone who moved from PHP 3 to Python 2 to Ruby to PHP 6+ to Python 3 as their goto language over the years.
I regret that I have but only one upvote to give.
Even everyone's favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan?
You could probably do a season about how all the people making up and spreading the conspiracies are all part of a conspiracy...
I was looking for something like this as a private alternative to GitHub/GitLab last month. Awesome to stumble across this.
I tried to switch to Tidal, but I found their app not as good, their integration with Sonos lacking, and no parental controls, which is important to me. Music selection was pretty good. A lot of niche stuff isn't there, sadly. For example I sometimes listen to college acapella groups, and there just isn't as much there. All the popular music is there though.
Reading the article, you do some registry edits to tell Windows that it's in Europe. Then you uninstall as if you were in Europe. No word on what other consequences this might have.
I mean, you got my upvote already, but one big reason is that Robertson wanted to control all the manufacturing of the screws and the bits. Phillips licensed his patent out and let anyone make them just taking a tiny licensing fee. Made a fortune on volume. Robertson: good engineer, bad businessman.
I cannot +1 this hard enough. There was once upon a time, back in the Darwin days, when I had my eyes on a Macbook as my next computer. Apple Silicon almost got me there again. I'm itching for a Snapdragon X Elite Oryon OMGLOLBBQ SBC, but I'm not holding my breath. I bet laptop makers snap up all the chips for 2024, and then I get one in 2025.
There's the topic of this conversation, WebUSB. I happen to believe that a missing feature here for Firefox is a good thing, mind you...
At least last time the Thrashers became the Jets. Maybe this time the new Atlanta team will become the Nordiques again or an Atlantic Canada team.
I wish FIDO had paid more attention to SQRL. It's long in the tooth now, but with some attention it could have been a better solution than passkeys, IMO.
