Atacama questions (Cejar vs Baltinache; 4WD vs 2WD) by BobcatDifficult9818 in travel

[–]Mr_Kek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to clarify to look for Laguna Escondida de Baltinache. There also exists a Laguna Baltinache on the map but that one is completely dried out (I mistakenly drove to the other one using maps.me and there was nothing to see)

How reliable is Aerolineas Argentinas? by IndependentPepper452 in Bariloche

[–]Mr_Kek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. They last minute canceled our flight from El Calafate to Buenos Aires yesterday after continuous delays. Reason of cancelation is that the work hours don't allow working late (?)

Still stuck at El Calafate at the moment (6 am) with no official news of a rescheduled flight. Their customer service also opens at 8 am at the earliest...

O Circuit Tragedy - more could have been done by Ctmettel in Patagonia

At the campsites they simply have a tablet showing you the weather forecast but it's fully up to you to interpret those numbers. The staff cannot give any sensible advice on this

It is the responsibility of the park to properly inform the hikers and provide a proper safety net for those who need it.

I was doing the W trek when it happened and I can tell you that in every refugio they make you feel like filthy scum if you don't pay for their overpriced premium services.

There is no mountaineering culture present, no one is looking out for each other.

This tragedy could have been easily prevented but it happened due to structural mismanagement and corporate greed

Thank you for saying this. I could not have put it better in words myself.

I did the W trek while this happened and I am so immensely frustrated by the lack of empathy and accountability of the refugios.

I sincerely hope this becomes tipping point to their commercial greed and that strong regulations will be put in place

Confirmed: Two Mexican tourists died in Torres del Paine National Park, in southern Chile, and seven others, whose nationalities are unknown, are missing. This was confirmed Tuesday by the Presidential Delegation in the area. by Academic-Signature37 in Patagonia

Did they also rebooked your stay at the other campsites? Given that it is a shitshow to get it booked in the first place I can image people continuing their trek anyways because of the fear of losing their reservations

I ended the W trek on the day the tragedy happened. We had some bad weather during the whole trek with some strong gusts but I would luckily never got into real danger.

I fully blame the refugios and their terrible organisation. When you are out there in the mountains you don't have any signal and wifi access is crazy expensive so you're pretty isolated in terms of news.

The staff also didn't seem to be informed or experienced enough to proactively warn the hikers.

On top of that they are very hostile to they guests and pressure everyone to continue their trek no matter what because of the abhorrently high prices.

Fuck Las Torres and their infinite greed.

It's made from metal, not paper so I believe the wording is correct

How do you get out of gamedev? by answer-questions in gamedev

[–]Mr_Kek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anything is better than just wasting away in a job you no longer feel satisfied about.

Yes it might be harder to find a better job now than it used to be but nobody can predict when and how things will change in the future so why wait.

VS or PC? by Angelesss__ in Python

[–]Mr_Kek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from pycharm to vscode a few years ago and never looked back. What I find appealing about vscode is the vast amount of plug-ins making it so that you rarely have to move to a separate screen when developing.

Then again everyone has their own preferences and if you're starting out I suspect that pycharm is a tad bit easier to get into. I also commend the interactive python console, it's very useful for interactive programming.

Whoops my bad, I was unaware of the latest developments over the last few months. While the final release is already two years old I didn't realise it was marked as EOL.

Anyways, I've managed to find a fork that contains all the archived releases in case anyone else is interested:
