Blocked. By Order the Queen.

I'm sure someone could whip up some merch super quickly as souvenirs/protest

The King. Sorry to spoil The Crown for you, but Queen Elisabeth II has been dead for a few years.

I'm thankful for the US administration to truly give other countries a chance to come forward and something good, and take the center stage.

But, as good as that opportunity is, I'm afraid the 3 years this administration has left wouldn't be enough to fully disassemble the US advantage. :)

It seems you might be too optimistic here. I doubt Trumpism will end with Trump.

I'm a little wary with "100% effective". Not even 99.9% effective?

Yea, micropayments but people can't keep up with dozens subscriptions. Someone will figure out micropayments sooner or later.

I mean, Jakob Nielsen has been advocating for them since last century: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/the-case-for-micropayments/

You can view the source code and package the extension yourself if you are worried about that. It is only ~2000 LOC.

It is not easy to get verified in vscode marketplace, even major publishers like Qt organization are not verified much less so a solo open source developer like myself.

I have high 2 digits of extensions in my VS Code, and yours is the only one that wouldn't have a verified publisher. And I certainly have more than one from solo developers.

Qt organization (because you mentioned it) also has verification. It displays a different message (because I haven't installed anything from them):

> The extension Qt Core is published by Qt Group. This is the first extension you're installing from this publisher.

> Qt Group has verified ownership of qt.io.

> Visual Studio Code has no control over the behavior of third-party extensions, including how they manage your personal data. Proceed only if you trust the publisher.

EDIT: I'm sure there are other extensions that are also by unverified publishers. It was the first time I was hit with that message though.

There's a syntax error in line 10 (t0 instead of to).

Also, what's the source for this program? I tried it on VICE and failed miserably. Maybe something (else) was copied wrong? Or is it supposed to fail on emulators?

This looks cool, but I'm a bit wary of publishers that aren't verified.

> Do you trust the publisher "Ali Mostafavi"?

> Ali Mostafavi is not verified.

Between yesterday's thread and this thread I decided to finally give uv a shot today - I'm impressed, both by the speed and how easy it is to manage dependencies for a project.

I think their docs could use a little bit of work, especially there should be a defined path to switch from a requirements.txt based workflow to uv. Also I felt like it's a little confusing how to define a python version for a specific project (it's defined in both .python-version and pyproject.toml)

Try `uvx migrate-to-uv` (see https://pypi.org/project/migrate-to-uv/)
