Yeah it's pretty out of date. You might then "eh that doesn't matter, I like things to be stable and I'll just imagine I'm three years in the past".

That works until some software introduces a bug fix or a new feature that you really need and you can't use it because of your distro's weird update policies.

You will very quickly find that you don't care anywhere near as much about theoretical stability as you do about a concrete feature or bugfix that is available but inaccessible.

I say theoretical because in practice Debian stable isn't really much more stable than more up-to-date distros. It just has fewer new bugs and more old bugs.

They might try to claim they backport fixes for the old bugs, but in reality they don't have the manpower to do that for 100k packages or whatever it is. They do it for critical bugs of very important packages but that's it.

That guy has some compelling arguments against localisation on this page.

The camera is used for visual odometry. They're usually black and white and very low resolution though.

Microphone, I have no idea. Could be useful for floor type detection or something? Voice control?

unsigned is just short for unsigned int. int is 16 bits, so yes unsigned is also 16 bits.

I may have misunderstood your question because it doesn't really make sense...

Oof yeah I have at least been allowed to use static type hints in the Python at my current job. They still don't get it, but at least it's not like my previous job where they literally banned them. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That company did not survive.

On Arduino it's 16 bits. (At least the original ATMEL ones; I dunno if they've finally moved to ARM yet.)

This lost me quite a lot of time when I tried to use their SD card library on a 32-bit Arduino and it hung due to some code assuming int was 16 bits.

LLMs don't usually make trivial language mistakes like supposively.

I think this is just a really inexperienced or unskilled developer. Or possibly a very dedicated troll.

Deno is fantastic. I keep trying to get people to use it for scripting instead of Python, but nooo we have to use Python because it's already installed and installing Deno is apparently too much hassle.

1000 hours lost to pip and venv later...

Yeah... Doesn't really work like that in reality. Look at TVs.

It actually works. I tried poetry once and it failed to resolve some simple dependency specification.

Ok you can say it was a fluke bug but it didn't inspire confidence.

uv is also freakishly fast. My venv setup times went from 57 seconds to 7 seconds. I seriously doubt Poetry can do that because it's written in Python.

Right... I mean the idea is obvious so why even bother with any of it? The only interesting reason is to demo that it actually works in reality which clearly they didn't.
