engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-08 11:58:19

Arkane Studios founder Raphael Colantonio had some harsh words for Game Pass in a thread on X, calling it an "unstainable model" that's "damaging the industry."

Introduction In a previous life, I wrote a Sudoku solver that relied on Poetry's dependency resolver. We ended up selling that startup to EDB (not because of the Poetry hack), which means that they now own this IP. And, since then, Python packaging has advanced, with uv taking the world by storm. This means that it's time for a refresh. Can we use uv instead of Poetry? And can we solve a Wordle instead of a Sudoku? For the impatient: you can get the solver from my GitHub.

If in retrospect all that seems obvious, it’s only because the research by David Autor, an MIT labor economist, and his colleagues has become an accepted, albeit often distorted, political narrative these days: China destroyed all our manufacturing jobs!

It’s reflected in rising calls for US protectionism, President Trump’s broad tariffs on imported goods, and nostalgia for t
