Huh?
It makes perfect sense if the Lang objective is to fail as little as possible. It picks the left side object, checks if the operand is a valid operand of the type. If it is, it casts the right variable into that type and perform the operand. If it isn’t, it reverses operand positions and tries again.
The issue here is more the fact that + is used both as addition and as concatenation with different data types. Well, not an issue, just some people will complain.
the main issue presented in the meme is that python is “weird” because it doesn’t have a default launch entrypoint like rust (I think) and c/c++. Both are compiled languages and python is generally not. When python is used in a compiled manner (wheels) however, it also does have a way to specify entrypoints, so the meme is comparing specifically compiled languages with interpreted scripting languages.
However, python is not weird at all about not having a general entrypoint in the scripting interpreted form, because all the other interpreted scripting languages work like that! Examples include all shell script languages like bash, zsh or fish, and other languages like javascript or R are similar.
The one I responded to however stated that they don’t care that bash is similar because bash is also “insane” or “not sane”, but as previously stated in this comment, all scripting languages have a lack of a funcion based entrypoint for their scripts, so I wonder which language are they using for their fast scripting if even bash is “not sane” for them.
My underlying point that i was trying to make in my first comment on this chain is that complaining that tools that are used in different use-cases are not similar is a pretty uneducated take that clearly shows a lack of diverse experience in the field.
Note: In my first comment on this chain I was expanding upon the comment of the one I responded to, as you can see that they are making a similar point when specifying that python’s example is a different thing than the ones on top.
You mean the “want to be zsh but with a specific config instead of having the liberty to do anything” shell? /s
Jokes aside, regardless of your shell of choice, in companies there are tons of scripts that launch programs, processes and so on, that will generally be coded in bash. Scripts that process files, take the output, send emails… All in a single script. The shell of remote nodes won’t be zsh or fish, it will be bash, and a lot of them won’t even have vim installed, only vi. Like it or not, bash is heavily used in a looot of places.
It’s my fucking keyboard. I’m all in for open source and stuff but it’s too much, I had to go back to proprietary ones because the other ones just suck for multi language inputs :(
What other saner languages do you use for scripts, though? All scripting languages share the particular complaint showcased in this post.
I’m gonna repeat what I wrote in another comment. You are comparing the default interpreted way of running pythong to a compiled language. When you compile a python program into a wheel, you define the entry points of the code on it, and they point to functions like main() or whatever you define.
You aren’t complaining that a index.js doesn’t automatically run the main function when run by node, or that bash doesn’t also have a default main function execution. Interpreted languages oriented to scripting won’t have the same rules as compiled languages.
programming languages aren’t usually cursed, what’s cursed is the way some people decide to structure their programs. I’ve seen some stuff.
Agreed, when building the wheel in python we can also define entry points like a main function, and run it the same way the compiled C code is run.
These people are comparing the interpreted raw python code to a compiled C binary. My dudes, bash doesn’t have a main function either and no one is fucking complaining.
ProtonDB is older then the steamdeck my dude, protonb was released alongside proton, which released on 2018, while the deck is from 2022.
In any case, I agree with you, it’s a very reliable source of game support. Mainly because it’s user reported haha.
I had issues like that about a week ago, when gaming the system was super sluggish. It turns out that an update put the render under CPU instead of GPU, as in, without hardware acceleration, or software based.
Fyi, using a condition to assign a boolean is equivalent to assigning the condition itself. No need for the IF.
The mobile app thing never worked for me and desynced the controller… I’ll try the VM.
Granted that for most newbies doing archchroot from a live USB is complicated enough to reinstall. In any case, as you said, systemd-boot works fine and it’s the default now in EOS so who cares.
For example a friend of mine decided to reinstall bazzite because he changed his GPU from nvidia to amd, when and uses the default drivers… Yes a simple search in bazzite’s download page shows the three coands that have to be executed to rebase the system to the non nvidia one if you like having extra space but… A full reinstall is crazy.
I really need to set it up, not because I have issues but because having backups feels so nice.
“I didnt read the changelogs”
I have never read the changelogs and I have never broken my EOS install ever.
Weak bait.
Bazzite does support NTFS
That’s great news then, I found this on their official documentation concerning external partitions so I assumed that it was updated:
https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/GNOME_Disks_Auto-Mount_Guide/
https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/KDE_Partition_Manager_Auto_Mount_Guide/
Bazzite does not support NTFS
I’ll tell my friend so they can stop swapping back to windows to watch stuff.
Then it’s your anecdotal experience vs mine, I’ve been using a better main drove connected to two NTFS drives, one for torrents and videos and downloads and another for games. 2 years almost like this and all games run perfectly fine. Souls games, path of exile (quite read heavy), league, hots, last epoch monstwe hunter… You name it, it has worked perfectly fine for over a year.
Maybe it has improved since that happened to you idk, and I agree that threshold not allow NTFS for the main drive of, but for external ones it’s just silly.
That is muy point, a lot of people that swap from windows probably have several drives for the HDD or just extensions, being able to access that stuff is key for a smooth transition.
Also, im going to ignore you calling basic Linux commands to enable services, swap DEs, install and uninstall stuff, add drives by wirtting them in fstab as it has been done since the dawn of time… hacks, but as a side note, if the OS limiting you from fucking up your system is what gave you a stable experience… Maybe don’t fuck it up? BRTFS has snapshots, you can configure the system to snapshot every time you install stuff… Idk.
A friend installed it and it’s been terrible doing tech support about it. All the obvious fixes don’t work because it’s immutable, all the obvious fixes like editing fstab don’t work, you need to use their hip programs and special commands to install things. The arch wiki that usually helps any distro doesn’t work and you need to almost exclusively use their own docs. Terrible experience.
He has somehow managed to break the glorious immutable distro twice in two weeks while I’m happy with life in EOS for a year since the full swap.
Oh, and bazzite doesn’t support NTFS drives. They say it’s because the NTFS conversion layer has issues but I’ve been living with the games ssd drive being a NTFS drive because I need space to swap it to brtfs and it works FINE. Games run at the same speed, the drove doesn’t lock, there’s no weird write issues or anything. Bazzite devs are cowards that don’t allow NTFS drives for dual booters either.
Doing tech support for it for a month now, I’ve come to hate all the stupid limitations for the so called glorious immutable distro.
The thing is that that kind of information is usually in the offer. I’d be polite and and for confirmation and clarification but not everyone has that kind of tact and not hiring someone because they didn’t ask you to repeat what it’s written on the offer is kinda harsh tbh.
