https://winpython.github.io/

WinPython is a free open-source portable distribution of the Python programming language for Windows 8/10 and scientific and educational usage.

It is a full-featured Python-based scientific environment:

    - Designed for scientists, data-scientists, and education (thanks to NumPy, SciPy, Sympy, Matplotlib, Pandas, pyqtgraph, etc.):
        - interactive data processing and visualization using Python with Spyder and Jupyter/IPython, Pyzo, IDLEX or IDLE
        - fully integrated Cython and Numba! See included example
        - connectors (cffi, odbc, rpy2, scilab2py, requests, ...) for advanced users
    - Portable:
        - Runs out of the box(*) on any Windows 8+ with 2GB Ram (Jupyter Notebook will require a recent browser)
        - The WinPython folder can be moved to any location (**) (local, network, USB drive) with most of the application settings
    - Flexible:
        - You can install as many WinPython distributions as you want on the same machine: each one is isolated and self-consistent
        - These installations can be of different versions of Python (3.7/3.8/3.9...)
    - Customizable:
        - The integrated WinPython Package Manager (WPPM) helps installing, uninstalling or upgrading Python packages
        - It's also possible to install or upgrade packages using pip from the WinPython command prompt
        - A configuration file allows you to set environment variables at runtime

WinPython is something different from other Python Distributions (see historic motivation and concept):

    - non-invasive: WinPython lives entirely in its own directory, without any OS installation
    - customizable: add your missing packages, zip the WinPython directory and give it to your students
    - do your own version: a winpython-creator kit is made available for you

https://phoboslab.org/log/2023/08/rewriting-wipeout

The source code for the classic PSX launch title wipEout was leaked in 2022. A few month ago I finally sat down to take a look at it. The result is a (nearly) complete rewrite that compiles to Windows, Linux, macOS and WASM.

https://gist.github.com/sharadhr/39b804236c1941e9c30d90af828ad41e

This post is a detailed discussion into user profiles, their directories, and how they are—to put it bluntly—in total disarray on Windows and Linux (I haven't used a Mac in ages, but I assume the situation is very similar there, too). Applications treat the user profile as a dumping ground, and any user with a reasonably wide list of installed software will find their user profile very difficult to traverse after some time in use. There are platform conventions and attempts to standardise things on more open-source platforms, but a lot of developers resolutely refuse to change the behaviour of their software for a variety of reasons (some less valid than others).

The first part is a deep dive into user profiles on Linux and Windows, and the conventions that have been established on these platforms over the years. The second section details how they are broken on each platform, and why they are broken.
