  • I’m going to code in Python for my job soon, do you have links on how TF I should manage dependencies? I can’t stand the bloat of virtual environments or Anaconda sorry.

    I need to make myself a stack python but I don’t want to look at this madness. At least Typescript benefits from a high quality ecosystem of frontend tooling with Vite/React/ESLint/ESBuild and it’s getting even better with the new runtimes features :)

    I need to learn about:

    • built-in tools provided by the language (practice on the job and the power of Google & LLMs will help)
    • ecosystem
    • good practices

    Why is their a build system for an interpreted language ? Do you have bundling concerns like in JS or you somehow compile Python code now?


  • That would be quite an amazing era to live in ahaha ! We can the start the work as a community to match the JavaScript Ecosystem by providing high quality primitives for developers. For that to happen developer UX has to improve though :) but I think WASM definitely has some future.

    However to contrast my previous thoughts, I find it pretty sad that people want to move away from JS when we got thing like Bun & Demo 2.0 hitting their prime!

    We got benchmarks, cross-runtime stdlib, better registeries, type safety, enough performance, extendability (with runtime plugins & API). I think were approchaing a TS/JS paradigm that’s pretty impressive I must admit.




  • Read Call of Cthulhu 7e (And generally Lovecraftian horror) ! The part about how to run the game explain a lot on how to structure the scenario, how to create a sense of horror !

    My advice :

    • Start from the end => how do you get to the end of the mistery ? Have a set of clues, handout you cam give to your player when they are investigating that allows them to reconstruct the full picture !

    • Hurt the characters personally => the cult of your RPG should try to scare away the character by hurting their loved one, they should be made dangerous to the player by directly hurting them! Show how unpredictable and dangerous this situation is :)

    • Lock down access to information => they need to learn about witchcraft ? They’ll have to steal books, travel around dungeons and be the first to get the resources they need to counter the plan of the cult.

    • EDIT: Show the effects of the action of the cult on the world around the characters => unspeakable experimentations on the people of the city, and murders, property trespassed etc… This could be a hook!

    • (EDIT: About the hook) The party could be asked to help… I don’t know… The Magic Academy (lol) to recover a dangerous tome of forbidden knowledge and this could be what lead them down the rabbit hole!

    • EDIT: TL;DR This should feel like a rabbit hole while you know exactly where they’re going because you have lists of events, clues, riddles that allow them to get the big picture! Good luck with your project !

    Use music made for Call of Ctulhu for ambiance !











  • D’ailleurs c’est assez drôle parce que j’ai vu ce lien massivement downvote dans d’autres communautés. Peu importe ce qu’on dit des autres réseaux et le monde, Lemmy s’est quand même choisi ces hommes providentiels; ces intouchables prophètes de l’open-source. Je trouve ça assez comique, je suppose que c’est l’effet polarisant des réseaux!

    Vous en pensez quoi ?



  • I like classic menswear a lot and the way Donald Trump dresses clearly give a sense of trying to look powerful.

    His tie is way too large and look like it’s made of polyester (the red color is garrish). The shirt is okay but he doesn’t take care of his body so his body doesn’t care about his style.

    He never wears a pocket square which demonstrates a kind of utilitarian mindset? “Why accesorize and wear something personal and tasteful?”

    Joe Biden feels much less like a power suit and more like how he dresses. He wears suits that fit him and dress for his body type: his clothes work for him and make his silhouette stand out! (It’s a big part of how the shoulder are made on the jacket)

    This kinda menswear is pretty beautiful when you master it, it’s just a shame that it’s associated with “power”. It’s more about beauty, craftsmanship, and personality for me than ridiculous formality. It’s also a lasting investment (you don’t buy a sport jacket every 2 months, it’s more like every 5 years) and it will fit you well.

    Hope that mentality will shift with time but those conservatives are not helping the suit have the image it deserves.
