Re: Constantly crashing Chromium cured?

Hopefully, those fixes land in the standard build for Buster. The only gripe I have with Stable and indeed Debian in general is Chromium. But I heard the Chromium team is understaffed, to say the least.

Re: Code editors and style for Python 3

^ Thank you for taking the time to read the code. Yes, all those AI classes have only one method, and that's to take their turn. The game is mostly complete for now, and it works. I will try to change it when I have the time. Now, onto the challenge. I would make the savings account the base class s...

Printing hello world - bloatless edition

Drew Devault recently wrote this funny little blog post: https://drewdevault.com/2020/01/04/Slow.html I found it interesting how, in his intent to prove how higher-level languages introduce bloat, he forgot how many man-hours writting programs in those languages save. This one is golden: "These...

Re: Code editors and style for Python 3

For example, in pure python, without importing external libraries you can use dictionaries to store data when it suites that format. Yes, it is much more efficient to use dictionaries. Using classes for storing data, however, is more flexible. Even more so with the recently added "data classes...

Re: Which interactive shell you using?

Bash is good enough and fast enough. I never got the need to use some special shell, but then again, I don't write shell scripts.

Re: Code editors and style for Python 3

^To be honest, no, I'm not so interested in game development. At least not with Python. I have written this game ever since I started learning Python and it's very dear project to me. It shows all my rookie mistakes (only one file, heavy usage of globals, etc.). Ever since, I have grown out of my ga...

Re: rolling distros becoming more popular

There is a reason why Arch is so "hard" to install. Hard for Linux newbies, at least. Having it installed for you by someone else because it is "cool" is a huge disservice to both you and the Arch Linux community.

Re: Code editors and style for Python 3

I don't really know how to use it and how to write (better said access) it. I know that I can define a base class and use it to create other sub-classed classes (urgh..). Then, the new class shares the attributes and methods of a base class. And that is all I know. Honestly, it is very messy for me....

Re: Code editors and style for Python 3

Re: Code editors and style for Python 3

So, I have to write Perl to be considered an experienced Python programmer?!
Yeah, no.

@HoaS:
How did you install Go? Using apt, or by downloading it from golang.org? Will Go 1.11 be enough for a beginner? I don't want to bother with modules right now.
