What’s the difference? I rarely use Python and every time I do I have to relearn which tools are the go to ones. In Java it’s a little simpler, we really just have Maven and Gradle. They have their own problems, sure, what tool doesn’t, but the thing that annoys me about python is the quantity of tools. There often isn’t a clear winner.

Now, to be fair to python, a lot of the ones mentioned on this post are very specifically for data science use cases and not general purpose development.

This is probably my biggest complaint about trying to learn Python past the beginner level and into intermediate and beyond. This is also one of my strongest arguments in favor of static type systems over dynamic ones.

Yeah exactly. The Drive Sync hasn’t been too bad but OneDrive app is much more limited and I’m afraid to use it because it’s so flaky. Especially on non-Windows.

Awesome. I wonder if I can incorporate OneDrive easily. I’m on a family plan and have 1 TB of storage. Maybe there’s a way to upload stuff to OneDrive without the garbage of OneDrive.

I think venv is the best because it’s built in. But I’m also not a Python dev.

No, the dependency management in Python is a nightmare. There’s like a billion options for it.

Oh, is it like a Dropbox but without a cloud?

Well, I guess we’re a little past the year mark but I really like Lemmy and Jerboa lol.

You’ve marked your account as a bot but you appear to be a human. You should fix this in settings because some people filter out bot content.

What is it?

That’s how swatting works though. They don’t just call 911 and say “send police to this place” lol.

Many people work from home and don’t have very many Internet providers in their area. In a post COVID world, many people are never getting a job in an office. They can’t risk losing their job over losing Internet access over piracy.

Hey hey hey, put some respect on Java, we don’t need certificates to compile our shit.

I’m just using Gmail lol. I don’t really do anything with email.

I never got around to using WSL for dev stuff, sadly. I was stuck on Windows 7 until December 2019 and have had a Mac for work ever since. For personal stuff I just use the MSYS environment included in Git for windows (it has bash and a few other things). If I ever got a Windows laptop for work again I’d probably put the time in to learn WSL.

These are three super different things that fill entirely different uses. It’s like asking if you should use a car, a boat, or an airplane. If you just wanna mess around then probably VirtualBox unless you only want terminal stuff to mess around, then you’d want WSL.

I can’t roll my eyes harder, dude. Just drop it and move on. It’s okay to disagree with people and not try to fucking debate them about it.

It’s mocking the type of people that try to turn anything and everything into some sort of formal debate when it was just a casual conversation then act like they’ve won some sort of argument when you don’t engage.

I love near a microcenter
