The reason you do stuff in a venv is to isolate that environment from other python projects on your system, so one Python project doesn’t break another. I use Docker for similar reasons for a lot of non-Python projects.

A lot of Python projects involve specific versions of libraries, because things break. I’ve had similar issues with non-Python projects. I’m not sure I’d say Python is particularly worse about it.

There are tools in place that can make the sharing of Python projects incredibly easy and portable and consistent, but I only ever see the best maintained projects using them unfortunately.

“Anti-pornography” specifically means “anti-LGBT” to them.

I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.

Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.

The 3D Prince of Persia games were Ubisoft

Having lived on both coasts, I think the “kind but not nice” thing is something people who are actually neither say to feel better about themselves.

What is the “executable” in this context? I’m kinda confused as to what you are looking for.

What’s wrong with parsing the input files at runtime? Is it performance? Do you want one file to load instead of multiple?

Many have suggested pickle, which is kinda what you are asking for, but on some level it’s not much different from parsing the input files. Also, depending on your code, you may have to write custom serialization code as part of getting pickle to work.

Note that pretty much every modern game is a bundle of often multiple pieces of executable code alongside a whole bunch of separate assets.

That’s a good point which is part of why there is a lot of active research into quantum networking. Once you can connect two otherwise independent quantum computers, you no longer have the issue of increasing crosstalk and other difficulties in producing larger individual quantum chips. Instead you can produce multiple copies of the same chip and connect them together.

Because the math checks out.

For a high level description, QEC works a bit like this:

10 qubits with a 1% error rate become 1 EC qubit with a 0.01% error rate.

You can scale this in two ways. First, you can simply have more and more EC qubits working together. Second, you can near the error correcting codes.

10 EC qubits with a 0.01% error rate become one double-EC qubit with a 0.0001% error rate.

You can repeat this indefinitely. The math works out.

The remaining difficulty is mass producing qubits with a sufficiently low error rate to get the EC party started.

Meanwhile research on error correcting codes continues to try to find more efficient codes.

I mean the known theory of quantum error correction already guarantees that as long as your physical qubits are of sufficient quality, you can overcome decoherence by trading quantity for quality.

It’s true that we’re not yet at the point where we can mass produce qubits of sufficient quality, but claiming that EC is not known to work is a weird way to phrase it at best.

And guess who constantly lobbies and sues to keep things that way?

Error correction does fix that problem but at the cost of increasing the number of qubits needed by a factor of 10x to 100x or so.

Similar to a car crash, you are generally safer in your padded engineered metal box than being thrown out of it, or thrown around inside it.

It’s like the difference between dropping a carton of eggs vs a bunch of loose eggs in a box.

The entire state of Massachusetts is full of psychopaths

It’s that leftists “like Islam”, it’s just that they are generally not broadly xenophobic.

I’m already paying to play Smash Bros and Mario Maker online, so I might as well.

I’d much, much rather have these in a form I could purchase or, on a bigger streaming service, but this is something at least.

I do appreciate some of the neat gaming-specific features it has, like spoiler prevention (hiding songs you haven’t encountered yet) and looping tracks cleanly for extended periods of time.

Yes but you don’t have anything to make power to charge it :/

I started on lemmy.ml because I thought it was “the default one” to some extent. Learned that was a mistake pretty fast. Glad I found this one.

Their trackpad can and does work via USB so ???

I have one of their trackpads and it works great with Ubuntu over USB but not over Bluetooth for some reason. (It connects, but Ubuntu doesn’t handle it well.)

Yeah you’re right I’m the one who mixed it ip

Literally decimated would be “down to 10%” aka down 90% I think I was wrong
