Genuinely trying to learn here - what's the major advantage of using uv over conda?

(Transparently, I'm posting this before I've completed the article.)


They have different use cases. uv is meant to be the singular tool for managing Python packages and dependencies, replacing pip, virtualenv, and pip-tools. Conda is for more general-purpose environment management, not just Python. If you're doing something with Node or R, uv won't work at all because it's only for Python.

uv's biggest advantage is speed. It claims a 10-100x performance speedup over pip and Conda [1]. uv can also manage python versions and supports using Python scripts as executables via inline dependencies [2].

But Conda is better for non-Python usage and is more mature, especially for data science related uses.

uv is unbelievably fast.


The speed is quite believable. Reinstalling packages from a cache should be extremely fast. Pip suffers from poor architecture.


Yes, this is the answer in an ideal world. In practice, it's nearly impossible to buy Sceptre dumb TVs these days.


They are listed right there on the website. Add one to your cart and check out. What's impossible about that?


Go ahead and follow the steps to order one, then.


This attitude of "let's leave politics out of this" is a major contributing factor to this mess we're in.


I'll save you the read: yes


MI300A's are very fun. very fortunate to have one to mess around on at work.


Perfect timing. Was just about to redo my linux set top box (a beelink mini PC with Arch on it). Fucking pumped to try this out.

I'm not a UI dev but I have messed with Qt some. Does egui or some other rust framework the same native look that Qt does?


From https://github.com/emilk/egui?tab=readme-ov-file#non-goals

Non-goals

* Become the most powerful GUI library

* Native looking interface


Slint is aiming at having native looking widgets.


Speaking as an American.

They will be virtually identical, except that there will be far more ads. Perhaps stations in super urban areas will integrate AI into the pump, using your name and level 3 data to market to you hyper-specifically.

Also Arizona teas will no longer say 99¢ on the can.


I’m pretty close to spraying something into the speakers to destroy them. I had to get gas at an ad blasting station yesterday and got just 3 gallons and left.


Out of curiosity, what would you spray?

(Probably not a good idea, there are camera's everywhere.)


> Out of curiosity, what would you spray?

To take out speakers? Probably (closed cell) spray foam.

I was thinking acetone might do it discreetly.


That other guy must be having a bad day. You've built something cool, most people have not. Sharing projects like this is what I miss about the old internet. I'm sure you're learning lots along the way. Godspeed.


Hey thanks for your comment, it made my day. I agree - it was fun to find little niches of the internet. Not for profit, just to help each other build fun stuff. I learned a ton and am excited to continue improving the site while working on some new ideas. Take care, my friend.
