r/Python, what is your programming machine setup?

david370 · 1 day

Linux workstation with 2 24" 1920x1200 monitors for development next to a beefy windows laptop with a 1600x900 display and 1920x1080 external monitor for testing in IE and web browsing.

The linux box usually has Vim/terminals open, while the windows box is for Google Chrome/IE(for testing purposes only)

Lately I've been doing a standing desk. I use a Kinesis Advantage keyboard in Dvorak mode and a Kensington Expert trackball (which is pretty decent, but unfortunately has pretty bad resolution)

Ideally I'd use synergy to share mouse and keyboard, but due to IT restrictions I use a kvm to switch these between the two computers.

It's funny that I'm more excited to see this comment here than in a gonewild thread.

I recently played through the PC version with a 360 controller. I think I had to go in the menu and mess with the key bindings, but it did eventually work for me. It did not feel as smooth as I remember it on a console, but still was worth it.

I successfully gave to him shortly before filling out the form. Sorry for not making that clearer. It may be possible that he hasn't accepted the gift yet; sorry if I should have waited for this before filling out the form.

Awesome, you rock!

Yeah, I played through the main story with the destroyer (Melee) and then later as the Vanquisher (hunter) and really enjoyed both. The game should last you a good while. Even after the main story there are more dungeons for you to explore, and mods have added tons more playability. I'm really glad you're enjoying it so far, and definitely think it can hold you over until you're able to get Torchlight 2.

By the way, I think the torchlight 1 copy is a pre-order bonus, so you'd have to order torchlight 2 before it's released to be eligible, but I could be wrong. From the sounds of things, it'll be released around mid-june to let some time pass after diablo's release, but the date is not yet set in stone.

Yep, hope you enjoy it!

I think the only issue with VMars is that they wrapped everything up so nicely at the end of season 2 because they didn't know if they were getting renewed, so season 3 felt a bit disorganized, and highschool kid playing private eye at a priveleged highschool was way cooler than clever college kid trying to solve a bajillion rape cases.

Anyway, I hope Torchlight is able to cure your Diablo clone itch. The game is somewhat easy, but a ton of fun to play. Also, I hear that mods add tons of playability. I'm looking forward to Torchlight II way more than Diablo III because of mods and local/lan co-op play.

If you do find yourself enjoying Torchlight, I recommend you consider preordering torchlight II, as the preorder will come with a copy of torchlight I that you can play forward to someone else, and is launching for 20 bucks as opposed to Diablo's $60.

There was a man from New South Wales
Who once drank so many ales 
He did something absurd
And tried to catch birds
And later told Reddit these tales.

I think I saw an episode of that. Is Kristen Bell the narrator?

Speaking of Kristen Bell, have you seen Veronica Mars? It's one of my favorite shows of all time, and the first two season are especially good.

Anyway, your gift has been sent, so you should have it by the time you get back to your computer or read this =).
