Which goes swell, until you realize that you are instead dealing with an ever complex and gnawing realization you can barely quantify as existential dread in light of the remarkably complex yet dangerous capabilities found in every human present and yet to be conceived on this suddenly constricting mortal plane, exceeded only by the sheer number of permutations which you generously call ‘best case scenarios’ that result in an irrevocable destructive spiral on the fragile biome only loosely labeled by you as “third rock from the sun”.

Sure, and it has nothing to do with the big ass vehicles being churned out due to loopholes in US law.

Unspoken here is the third option: navigate a series of untextured raised rectangular platforms littered with smaller rectangles that will fire you automatically if you touch them, designed by an 8 year old that got bored halfway through the engineering phase and wandered off to play Breakin Story 2.

The good news is that, for only 399 robux a month, you can get VIP membership, which includes a coil that allows you to immediately jump over the entire platform and land into a dated pile of two dimensional meme sprites they meant to clean up.

Friend, while I appreciate the time and effort on the docs, it has a rather tiny section on one of the truly worst aspects of pip (and the only one that really guts usability): package conflicts.

Due to the nature of Python as an interpreted language, there is little that you can check in advance via automation around “can package A and package B coexist peacefully with the lowest common denominator of package X”? Will it work? Will it fail? Run your tool/code and hope for the best!

Pip is a nightmare with larger, spawling package solutions (i.e. a lot of the ML work out there). But even with the freshest of venv creations, things still go remarkably wrong rather quick in my experience. My favorite is when someone, somewhere in the dependency tree forgets to lock their version, which ends up blossoming into a ticking time bomb before it abruptly stops working.

Hopefully, your experiences have been far more pleasant than mine.

Hahaha!..

Oh shit, you’re serious.

It’s all fun and games until the wheel variant you need for your hardware acceleration package conflicts with that esoteric math library you planned on using.

I can’t speak for your managers, but my past managers didn’t need Agile to f things up. They can do that with anything!

You know, I wish it wasn’t. Much of Amazon was on a version of Perl for years (and may still be) for almost all of their front end hosting. Facebook has transformed PHP into Hack (which is better for types, though technically not strongly typed), strongly suggesting they were running PHP until 2014. Let’s not forget what WordPress is still in PHP too.

Ouch! Red flag. Sucks to get rejected, but maybe you dodged a bullet.

The mark of a true master.

Python should not be used for production environments, or anything facing the user directly. You are only inviting pain and suffering.

(That’s the joke!)

Someone hasn’t read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet yet.

If abstraction was going to kill it, it would have died a thousand deaths already.

The nuances of Go syntax requirements are stupid at times, but I am shocked at how much it helps readability.

How much of that python is written in a shared codebase with multiple active contributors? When was the last time you refactored a module?

Tabs and spaces are invisible. Semicolons are not.

Load bearing whitespace. Damn, I love that phrase.

Also, if you have to have agreement on the tabs or spaces argument in your codebase in order to get it to compile, you have already lost.

Linux can be just as much of a slow-ass OS. The real issue is all of the crap everyone wants to do in the browser now.

One Note. I have yet to see anything from anyone come close. Works with all of my devices, allows me to use a stylus for designs on an infinite graph paper canvas, and damned good at note taking.
