Containers are fine but docker is a pain in the ass that lazy people use when they don’t want to provide clean installation/packaging.

How many times have I seen an equivalent of “we use a custom fork of an obsolete version of an unmaintained package, so if you want to compile it yourself good luck because we forgot how we even did it. Alternatively, you can install the docker version”…

“I refused treatment for my cancer based on a YouTube video and I survived!”

Bot or actually stupid spammer?

The guy is a nazi trying to pull off some utterly stupid rethoric of “oh noes the evil trans people are coming to discriminate against us and replace us”.

I’ve never seen something so absurd and would advise the writer to go seek help.

What I’m seeing is a guy who panics because he’s a transphobic piece of shit and is seeing that the world is changing and he won’t be allowed to be discriminatory as much as before. And he’s using the typical crap of “why not sit and talk” that nazis love to use. “Why do you censor my nazi opinions instead of talking about why we should kill black people or not?” would be a similar line.

helloWorld : '{IO, Exception} () 
helloWorld _ = printLine "Hello World"

I wouldn’t call it friendly.

I just use pamac. Almost never have to use pacman directly, except if somehow something broke with pamac, which is rare.

The con of one of then being “is a rootkit”

Let’s forget wine and praise valve then I guess.

Defending javascript syntax is not really a valid thing. Even js devs admit it.

Python is an overall robust language that allows you to do basically whatever you want, and does it pretty well. You can even use C extensions if you want to get peak performance.

The two domains that I believe Python cannot easily work with, are IoT where the interpreter would be a bit too cumbersome for a low-power system, and web programming, where it would still underperform Javascript and Webassembly (even though I am guessing that with a better webassembly support of the browsers, it would be possible to reach a rather efficient interpreter in-browser that would at least reach performances similar to javascript, if not better. And even if slower, the better syntax and lack of absurd rules would be a clear advantage on JavaScript).

“Use lua if you want a language that allows you to code in a crappy way” is a good argument

Your friend cannot port forward either? I guess you could try to setup a wireguard link between you and your friend too, ahould be faster than hamachi.

Someone tried to learn python and failed.

You can just use port forwarding, and use the broadcast_ips (if I’m not misremembering the name) setting on your friend’s config to try to connect to your public IP.

If you are on windows, the experimental version of the emulator has an overlay (a bit like steam) that allows you to see if you are detecting the other player a bit more easily, and to invite them with just a click (like on steam).

Since it is then direct connection you shouldn’t have any overhead lag unlike with hamachi and the like.

Goldberg emulator. Open source, you put it to replace steam’s api dll, and you can configure it for multiplayer. So you just need clean steam files of the game, and an properly configured goldberg, and the multiplayer works.

Configuration can be a bit of a hassle I guess, but less than editing the source of the game and compiling it.

Multiplayer crack? You just need the clean files and Goldberg, why bother searching for a crack?
