Wheels is something you use when packaging your module for upload. You will automatically use a wheel package if the module you are downloading was uploaded using wheels and your pc config is compatible with the wheel package.

What wheels does is it pre builds the module for a given system (doesn't need to be a very specific system) so that you don't have to do it locally when installing (if you got a compatible config).

It's not something users have to think about, for them wheel package == smaller and faster install. Pip will by default prioritise wheel package over source.

I guess it knows that it's unknown

Boost isn't FOSS is it?

"Sleek"

It looks monstrous, like it's designed for mowing down pedestrians instead of getting people from A to B.

Stockholm syndrome from whatever the convention is for your daily programming language. Long live snake case 🐍

How is it morally grey? What factors makes it potentially unethical to buy a game from Larian? I don't see an angle that wouldn't immediately imply that it's unethical to buy essentially any large company.

Sounds pretty wild to call it unethical to buy the game because of WoC (which isn't even the one responsible for the game). I doubt their worst act even comes close to a normal Tuesday for a lot of companies you likely buy from, directly or indirectly.

You can look up Larian if you want, but they are far from a big game publisher the way EA or Rockstar is. And they are going against the trend of mtx or DRM. Pirate if you want, but using morals as an excuse for not wanting to spend money doesn't really fly in this instance.

A round number is a number that is the product of a considerable number of comparatively small factors (Hardy 1999, p. 48). Round numbers are very rare. As Hardy (1999, p. 48) notes, "Half the numbers are divisible by 2, one-third by 3, one-sixth by both 2 and 3, and so on. Surely, then we may expect most numbers to have a large number of factors. But the facts seem to show the opposite."

A positive integer n is sometimes said to be round (or "square root-smooth") if it has no prime factors greater than sqrt(n). The first few such numbers are 1, 4, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18, 24, 25, 27, 30, 32, ... (OEIS A048098). Using this definition, an asymptotic formula for the number of round integers less than or equal to a positive real number x is given by N(x)∼(1-ln2)x+O(x/lnx)

(Hildebrand).

Alternatively, a number rounded off to a given precision in whatever numeral system you are using. E.g. ten in decimal may be round if you are dealing with small numbers in the decimal system, but it wouldn't be particularly round if you were dealing with large numbers or hexadecimal.

Their statement said nothing about giving a complete experience from day one. You cut out the central part of the whole statement which is "without the need for additional purchases".

The whole point of the public statement is about not requiring users to spend additional money to get the whole game. It got nothing to do with early access.

Some puritan servers automatically censor certain swear words. If a user of one of those instances swear, the word is replaced with removed, if a user of another instance swears, only the puritan server users will see the word as censored, the rest will see the real word. The word for a female dog is one of those censored words for certain servers.

Just be a decent human being and use type hints in python, problem solved.

Sounds like you are missing the point completely, likely in bad faith too

Traitor sounds too soft compared to the word we got for it in Norway, but "traitors of a country" in war rarely rouse much sympathy.

E.g. the majority of Norwegians are against the death penalty, but you would be hard pressed to find many opposing the decision to execute Quisling after the war.

flair Instance checks out.

I remember reading those comments on the post with Jerboa so they weren't hidden in the app at least.

Taiwan would never attack China, the only way a war between China and Taiwan happens is if China invades Taiwan.

China saying this increases the "risk" of war is nothing but doublespeak.

Guido once said on a podcast that if they ever ended up doing python4, removing the GIL might be one of the reason for that move. He wanted to avoid the issues we got with python2 - > 3 though. I wouldn't worry too much.

I ended up finding a oled theme and then just tweak it to fit my taste. It's a bit of a hassle but you can upload it to the marketplace to have easy access to it across your units.

Control over one of the biggest "news" sites in the world probably.

That logic would apply to alien spaceships too though
