If other distros allow pip-installing into the system, that could be considered a bug or at least an anti-feature, because it's almost always a bad idea: it can clash with distro-managed Python packages, it will break on Python upgrade

I think using pathlib instead of the more old-school os.walk and os.path.getmtime would clean that code up substantially!

I think metered internet and a rolling distro is never going to be a great fit. Putting packages on the installation medium only inflates the ISO download, and those packages will be out of date sooner rather than later. It's not like

Interesting! IANAL, but I think this should be basic functionality, ever since the recent-ish European and Californian privacy regulations. Although I think a quick e-mail to hn@ycombinator.com would suffice.

The Portugal model consists of decriminalisation, harm reduction and rehabilitation, but the Portuguese government has basically defunded the rehabilitation programs. Seems to me no wonder that the approach is failing if you take away the o

Xorg has very bad support for display scaling (for HiDPI) and multiple displays and especially multiple displays with non-uniform scaling factors. Architecturally speaking, this will never be fixed, even if new maintainers do show up. Wayla

It's a good idea to be caching sdists and wheels — for resilience against PyPI downtime, for left-pad scenarios, and even just good netiquette — and for packages that don't have a wheel for your environment, you can fairly easily

An async deadlock in a buggy library will under load exhaust the process threads and take down everything. One bug can cause large objects to be allocated, freaking out the garbage collector, causing increasingly large lag spikes under load

There's good evidence that if we can alleviate poverty and child mortality everywhere, fertility rates will start coming down like they have in richer countries and we'll end up at 10-11 billion people.
