<p>It probably depends, but for example in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, between 1000 and 2000 bombs are found and defused each year. The last uncontrolled explosion was in 2014, killing one person.</p>

<p>I don't think this game is for me but still congrats on building something!<p>A quick side note: I kept getting notifications for unlocked achievements that I certainly did not fulfill the requirements for, e.g. "Play a whole season" after the second tournament or "Earn a million" after I had made maybe 50k.</p>

<p>The thing about the anti-piracy is true, at least in the original version (I don't know about re-releases).<p>The way it worked was you had to offer at least a few pizzas that were reasonably close to recipes from the booklet in order to get any customers. Once you had that, you could get creative with custom recipes but if you only did custom recipes, you were bound to fail.</p>

<p>For us, the DX of uv for dependency management is much better than just using pip and requirements.txt.<p>To be clear though, we only use uv in the builder stage of our docker builds, there is no uv in the final image.</p>

<p>This is actually covered by the --locked option that uv sync provides.<p>If you do `uv sync --locked` it will not succeed if the lock file does not exist or is out of date.<p>Edit: I slightly misread your comment. I strongly agree that having no lock file or a lockfile that does not match your specified dependencies is a case where a human should intervene. That's why I suggest you should always use the --locked option in your build.</p>

<p>I would also say absolutely. We've been using pipenv for ~6 years and have managed to build a pretty good workflow around it. But uv is just _so much faster_. So we've started moving everything over to uv and I don't think we'll ever look back.<p>Migrating is not super hard, we wrote a small script that moves all the information from a Pipfile to a pyproject.toml and it works like a charm.</p>

<p>What they mean is that in Java, for example, a method has to explicitly state which exceptions it might throw as part of its signature. Note that they said "throws", not "throw".<p>Python does not have that.</p>
