I use it because I do not need to create packages, and I often do a lot of interactive coding within a conda environment, not just running full Python scripts. At any given time I have a primary conda env I'm using with my set of daily

If you would normally do one behavior because it is being heavily subsidized by other people and you are not bearing the cost of that behavior. Of course people have a preference to not bear the cost of their own externalities

Regardless of your or my feelings on this specific topic, "virtue signalling" is good because virtue is good and signalling to others that we ought to be good is also good. The use of that term as a pejorative is itself toxic cyni

It has gotten consistently better for years, the core product of streaming from server your own content from server to device is and has always worked great, and the lifetime pass is an absolute steal at $120. I paid $75 a long time ago and

A previous memo from the exact same email address as the "5 bullets" email told employees that this email account was being established as a way to communicate with every single federal employee at once, and stated clearly that no

My wife got the email, did not reply, and is not fired. You have no idea what you're talking about

The emails went to every federal employee, not any specific agencies. You don't seem to know anything about this whatsoever

I don't care where it's from, it is still false. The layoffs were happening long before this email went out, and the vast majority of them had nothing to do with the email. The threat to fire people over the email was toothless an

"the people let go were unable or unwilling to send an email listing 5 things they accomplished in the last week" This is entirely false. This is so incredibly false that I am actually shocked you were willing to post it. It is ha

Every accusation is a confession. Elon and his band of criminals know that if they were in government they would try to get a make work job and grift, direct money to their own businesses and friends, etc, so they assume that all civil serv

Has Germany had one of two major parties spending decades trying to undermine government to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy that government is bad by definition? We are 45 years into an intentional effort to sabotage public services to c

This is incredibly simplified Econ 101 style thinking though, it is nowhere near that simple and our markets are often incredibly inefficient. It's also not true that the organization never disappears. The government functions across a

They are working on cancelling their legal status. We have allowed Haitian migration because of the incompetence and corruption down there (and our role in a lot of that in the past)

Yes, this exactly. Reflexive "ugh govt" is a result of decades of Reagan-ite propaganda. Govt is just people, and people are flawed and have competing incentives. I've worked in massive companies that have incredibly dumb ine
