> As a consumer I rather like it when I know how much filler is added in my products

Depends where you live but many brands actually indicate their content of chocolate directly on the box (70%, 80% etc... unless you buy milk chocolate.

As for not wanting any filler at all: then buy pure cocoa beans! If you buy processed food you should always assume there is some kind of "filler". And not that "fillers" are also necessary sometimes to give a proper texture to what you eat and make sure the taste is consistent from one box to another.

I understand what you are saying but "Python has a lot of problems" is not really a list of "only" dependency management issues.

Once your project is setup, dependency management is what you do once in two weeks perhaps. Rest is just writing code.

I agree. I think it is acceptable to trade some security for convenience and in this case the convenient solution is still more secure than not having 2FA at all. However, the fact that some security is being traded for convenience should be documented in the README, otherwise one can criticize that the README is promoting a less secure usage of TOTP.

This is exactly why local/micro-level expertise is so important. It's common in the US now for areas just on the city limits of bigger cities to be more mixed racially and socioeconomically than ever before; this is a temporal as well as spatial phenomenon driven by the change from "white flight" to the suburbs to instead lots of folks moving to the suburbs because they're cheaper than the downtowns, and the suburbs mixing racially because they've removed their sundown laws and racial covenants. Now many downtown areas are coveted instead of abandoned, with luxury condos instead of skid row.

I don't know anything about Seattle. If you look at the area of the clear divide, what differentiates the houses on one side from the houses on the other side? In Minneapolis-St Paul, there are pretty clear differences in amenities between many racially separated areas: more trees and walking paths in some areas; fewer trees, worse streets, and highway noise in others.

What are you asking when you ask, "What's the problem supposed to be?" I don't quite get it.
My opinion is that people tend to overdo solutions for problems like these. If you're not faced with some case where you're flashing a laptop on a regular basis, don't aim for 100% coverage on your settings.

1. Figure out what files really aren't easy to replace (eg. vscode config, bashrc, etc.

2. Make a dead simple script that copies all these files/directories (and the script itself) to a temp folder and makes an archive of that folder.

3. Email it to yourself.

4. Make a `/remind me to ....` on Slack or an email service to remind you every few months to do this.

When I do recover, I don't just copy and paste all the files in. I use them as references as I rebuild. Because after a few years, my configs are filled with obsolete cruft or there's better ways to do things and I'll notice it when I go to paste in that segment into the bashrc or whatnot.

This certainly isn't an approach for everyone. Lots of people will want a more nuanced automagical approach. I just often find that over-automation just becomes this expensive headache that never ends up paying for itself.

This does not make much sense. People get green cards, not countries. Imagine if you were at the DMV and each region of your city had its own queue. People coming from the smaller parts leave in 5 minutes, and people hailing from the larger parts have to wait 8 hours for their turn. It's their fault for living in a more populous place?

What did the people in the smaller areas do to deserve their faster queue compared to others, except being born at a certain place?

This is good advice, but it elucidates the problem. There should be 2 steps (1. list your dependencies, 2. pip install). Not 5.
I disagree with your sentiment, because it assumes that Rossmann can read the minds of Apple product designers and warranty service managers.

The "Rossmann" method of device repair might be useful for short term disaster recovery, consumer asset loss mitigation and data recovery, but how reliable are his repairs long term? We never know. How scalable is this method of repair across thousand of cities? Probably very poor.

Rossmann probably has no idea what percentage of his repairs fail within 12 months. Whereas Apple probably has a very good idea how (im)practical it would be to deploy this approach at global scale, and how reliable bodge repairs are compared to simply fitting a new board straight from the factory.

Javascript might be eating the world of web development, but there are a whole lot of other scenarios outside of web programming that Python is more likely to be used in, IMHO.
Currently:

Ryzen 1700 (8 cores), 16gb RAM, Nvidia GTX 960 (still works well enough), Arch + GNOME. I've been trying to switch to openSUSE, but I keep finding little things that make it hard to switch.
The is true of node.js too. Lots of native modules. Yet the package management experience there is much better.

Anaconda does a reasonable job of fixing this for Python, but as noted, it’s yet another 3rd party solution with some pretty annoying defaults.

I've grown to dislike activate, because it breaks the simple rule of "never run pip, python, etc., only run your-venv/bin/pip, python, etc.". Now the rule is "Don't run pip, python, etc., unless you've previously run activate and not deactivate" - and it has the complicated special case of "make sure the command exists in your virtualenv." (For instance, it's definitely possible to have a Python 2 virtualenv where pip exists but not pip3, and now if you run pip3 install from "inside" your virtualenv it's global pip! Or you might have a Python 3.6 virtualenv and type python3.7 and wonder where your packages went, or several other scenarios.)

If you have the shell prompt integration to remind you whether you're in a virtualenv or not, it's fine, but I don't always have it, and I find it helpful to manually type out the full directory name (generally with the help of up-arrow or tab...) so I know exactly what I'm running.
This is a very zero-sum take on the project, where it’s very possible that creating more diversity in the neighborhoods these families are moving to raises the level of education and outcomes for everyone involved. Making some people smarter doesn’t require making others dumber.
Python is eating the world, just not digesting it.
I haven’t really heard much talk about “Kolmogorov randomness” before, and so I’m wondering if you might be running up against the limits of the Wikipedia paradigm when it comes to pioneering scholarship.

The citation for that paragraph is a peer-reviewed journal article covering Kolmogorov complexity and randomness. It’s actually a really good article, by someone pretty famous named Per Martin-Löf. Which is all great, except that paper is from 1966, and in 2019 a more studied concept is something called “Martin-Löf randomness” :)
I think one problem is that people don't realize they could not only survive, but live healthy, satiated, and even build muscle on a vegetarian diet(without protein shakes etc, just regular grocery foods). I feel like if more people realized this, they would consider eating meat more often. I personally love that I rarely have to worry about maggots in my garbage bin because there would be nothing that would be interested for them to be eating.
> As for third party repair, it isn't Apples fault if a third party repairs a phone incorrectly. What does this argument even mean?

It's 100% not their fault if someone else gets it wrong, it's true. But modern phones are complicated devices -- if you get your battery replaced poorly, and a month later your phone dies because the case was resealed incorrectly which compromised the water resistance and something got damaged as a result, is the consumer likely to think "oh, I bet that was a poor third party repair" or "ugh, iPhones suck, they're so unreliable"?

That said, I don't think this battery change is particularly tied to the personal repair issue. I think this is a shot at the resale / refurb market. Companies buying up old phones, "refreshing" them with crappy components, and selling them on to customers who don't realize that the phone is going to need a battery replacement in three months. In that case the customer didn't have the information available to tell that they'd been sold something shoddy, whereas now they can check the battery health and see this new warning.
I think it's petty crime that doesn't pay, indeed. Stealing a pack of smokes from the convenience store just doesn't pay; manipulating regulations to benefit from lax enforcement of environmental law or gain tax breaks or otherwise pad your bank account is gentlemanly.

I mean that in a somewhat literal sense: it was once true that "gentleman" meant a man possessing property, a member of the gentry. The section titled Sir George Sitwell in the Wikipedia article on the word "gentleman" is amusing and to the point.
> Yes, those are caught when using pip freeze.

No they are not.

Pip freeze does not resolve transitive dependencies, nor does pip know what to do if your transitive dependencies conflict with each another.

We already went through all of this with cars and car mechanics. The only difference with electronics is that people have been convinced that their smartphone, laptop and electronics in general are somehow arcane magic. Nowadays, car manufacturers also seem keen to jump on this bandwagon, since it would also benefit their bottom line to keep third party mechanics from touching their cars.

Fact is, if Apple can fix their devices, then so can a third party without much problem, it's not that hard and most of it doesn't really take any skilled labor. Apple would be better served by releasing repair manuals and selling parts (like car manufacturers have been doing) if they're afraid of having their reputation ruined by third party repairmen. That, of course, is not their concern, a third party repairman ruining someone iPhone in no way affects Apple's reputation, and it's better for Apple's business since it helps their propaganda efforts against third-party repair. Apple and other electronics manufacturers of course are not going to spend any effort supporting third-party repair until they're forced to by legislation.

For what it's worth, I think the right to repair side needs to do a better job of delivering their message. While focusing dispelling the notion that electronics repair is hard is pretty important to undo decades of propaganda on the matter, currently the environment is the hot button issue, and throwing away repairable objects isn't all that great, particularly if it's an easy fix like changing a battery. Repair needs to be included explicitly into the 3 R's somehow, either by making it into 4 R's (Reduce, Repair, Reuse, Recycle, for example) or by including Repair into the umbrella of Reduce.

I agree that a focus on economic opportunity might be more effective. And Universities need to stand behind their staff. But the article is not remotely suggesting that students should focus on economic reform. And if there were any doubt on that issue, it is made clear by the authors other articles. Indeed, the author went to Yale, we know she did not participate in any protests. What exactly did she do as her responsibility?

Those students _are_ focused on wide reform in _every_ field. The article and those like it are cynically composed to describe only racial reform efforts in order to drive a wedge between white and non-white working class voters and to demonize the few wealthy who are actually on the side of reform.

Indeed it is the very group doing the anti-racist protests that are the ones _allied_ with economic reform. That's where the Bernie Sanders supporters are. The problem would be the polar opposite students in Yale solely there to learn how to increase hereditary wealth and power.

These exact same techniques and even words were used in the 60s to demonize economic reforms by railing against the "extreme" behaviors of student then. Portrayal of universities as Communist (still a common theme on Fox), focusing solely on pro-integration and anti-war protests to falsely portray disregard for white poor and national disloyalty. They kept two out of three today.

And they found they same audience to stoke the same unjustified resentment then as now by falsely convincing working class whites that powerful liberal economic reformers are only interested in non-whites. And so drove a wedge between working class whites and non-whites. And so Nixon and Trump.

The catastrophic rent seeking and inequality is certainly _not_ coming from those few privileged students who publicly disapprove of that. The one involved in dramatic reform protests (that includes but are not limited to racial items). There are zero students in those protests who oppose dramatic economic reform. The problem is from the actual people causing it: the Koch brothers, the Waltons, Murdoch, people who don't get remotely as many outraged articles as these students.
Is there a model dependency management system for some other language that addresses all these issues?

Dependency hell is everywhere.
I agree that builtin tools suck for dependency management.

However a lot of the issues that you mentioned (such as lock file and transitive dependencies) can be handled by pipenv, which should be the default package manager
