I have 3 kids and all of them play Roblox. In the past I tried to run Roblox with wine but it didn't run.

Re:Why is Python so popular despite being so slow? on Saturday April 24, 2021 @03:23PM (#26927578)
I use python because: - is simple; - is fast to deliver something in a small amount of time (and working!); - someone already had the same problem I'm having now... and if I Google I'll find a module that serves my needs;
Didn't see the videos, but I want to thank you for your post.

You should include a readme.md with an explanation of your project.
I use pybuilder to setup Python projects. With it, you can have unit testing, linting, packaging, costumized tasks, plugin, etc.
Second this.

The problem is that most companies/developers still aren't "Open API first"... So, people must build scrapers.

In the past weekend I saw the movie "Lisbon Story". The main character was a "sound maker" for movies that were filmed with no sound (I don't know the right term). His job consisted in reproduce the sounds of, for example, a water splashing sound, a horse running, an egg frying, a pigeon flapping his wings trying to eat...

Re:Show HN: Manage Python Virtual Environment with a Makefile on Saturday November 16, 2019 @07:54PM (#21555882)
I'll try that.

I use python because is easy to make a script cross-platform and because python have "batteries included". I think it would be interesting to have a tool like this that depends only on python.
