I suppose my setup already has “Xcode command line tools” installed, so gcc works as expected. It’s been a while but IIRC the process for installing the command line tools is pretty self explanatory.

I remember WSL being a whole process to setup, but it’s been a while, and as you might guess, I’m a lot more familiar with Mac than Windows.

What I do know is I had to support a Python project on all 3 OSes and Windows was by far the hardest to get working. We were deliberately not using WSL for that scenario.

Mac is very similar to Linux in that it comes with bash (these days zsh) and a lot of the command line tools you’d expect on Linux, including gcc and python3 installed by default. You’ll want them to have a decent text editor with code coloring. Sublime is what I was taught to use in university.

Windows is more difficult. The command line is very different (it inherits from DOS instead of Unix like both Mac and Linux). It doesn’t come with Python pre-installed. I’ve generally installed git-bash when working on Windows. There are some Python libraries that work fine on both Mac and Linux but have issues on Windows.

You could look into VSCode which is a decent IDE that works on all platforms. Of course, an IDE can be a bit of an information overload for a beginner, especially something like VSCode that’s constantly pushing AI features and plug-ins.

Everyone and their manager wants to play with LLMs and and and Intel still don’t have a real alternative to CUDA and so are much less popular for compute applications.

College sports are typically a net income for the university.

So are foreign students because they are typically charged higher tuition.

But we wouldn’t need sports or international students to subsidize our tuition if it got more funding from the government…

I live in a bigger US city that does have a metro. It’s not bad for doing longer trips in certain directions, when it’s working. But it breaks down at least a few times a year, and if you have to make a transfer to another train to make it to your destination, it’s often literally faster to walk.

I spent a few $1000 on the computer, I’ll spend $100 more to make it look fancy

Sea of Thieves is the game for you

pay NOTHING toward their student’s [sic] education, nor do they ever intend to,“ Trump wrote.

???

Universities with high (undergrad) international student populations usually do so because they charge international students higher tuition than local students.

As for grad students, that’s a way to import high-skill workers and also grad students typically are highly underpaid for the kind of work they do while working towards their degree.

In response to your spoiler:

I specifically didn’t like that scene because it’s a massive departure from the lore of all the other films. If they could just do that, why haven’t both sides been doing that all the time? Is it supposed to be that this group is the first group to try this, with the tech that has been around for at least a few centuries? If they had all died in the process I’d be more ok with that, although that also seems like a departure from how hyperspace works in the other films.

Hey if a corporation can be pardoned does that mean a corporation can be charged with crimes such as manslaughter?

I should really just keyword filter all headlines with the word “slammed” in it.

I just took a look and I think that military helicopter video just plays whenever you visit the home page. Not that it excuses the rest of it, or that the first thing you should see when you visit the White House website is a military helicopter…

The vast majority of games these days handle difficulty levels by simply tweaking the numbers of how much damage you take and deal. They build the game around a “recommended” difficulty and then add hard/easy modes after the fact by tweaking the stats.

Other games simply turn off the ability to die, or something along those lines.

In both of these cases the game is clearly built around the “normal” mode first. I’d be curious to see a clear cut example of that not being the case.

How does the existence of an option you never use degrade your experience?

What this article is advocating is vigilantism.

The justice system failed these women, but expanding “self defense” to defend vigilantism is not the solution.
