I think the fact that everyone cites the same is-number package when saying this is indicative of something though. Like I legit think that we are all imagining this cultural problem that's widespread. My claim (and I tried to do some

I think on the first point, we have to start calling out authors of packages which (IMO) have built out these deptrees to their own subpackages basically entirely for the purpose of getting high download counts on their github account Like

In your metaphor the equivalent would be that you see that the chopsticks have splinters and are cleaning it But everyone I met who does splinter cleanup does it _every time_ even without a cursory inspection. So the metaphor is… maybe more

I don't exactly know the system for which restaurants pull out of the disposable chopsticks but I think that for example "normal" tempura, katsudon, or like soba restaurants will tend to be those. I almost associate the cheap

I go to your house to have food. You give me a fork and knife. I go to your kitchen to wash the fork and knife for good measure.

I mean you don't need to use that then. `uv` is still writing to `.venv` by default and you can activate it with `direnv` or w/e.

totally my point here. The actual shape of the thing starts mattering so much that at one point your metaphor is just completely useless for judging the actual tradeoffs

let's say I put a lock on an office door. You say "Why? Bazookas will get through the door anyways". I don't know how I feel about this change but context does in fact matter about whether something is a good idea or not

uv assuming your local Python is busted to hell and back helps a lot with isolation. Poetry's CLI would often, for me, just fall over and crash. Crashing a lot is not a fundamental problem in the sense you can fix the bugs, but hey I&#

uvs success is downstream of paying like 10 very good rust tooling developers to work on uv full time. Full time effort put into tools gets you a looooot of time to make things work well. Even ignoring the OSS stuff, many vendors seem to co

Poetry and friends are so bad that many people continued just using pip -r requirements.txt despite knowing about this other stuff Poetry having users isn’t the metric for success. pip having way less users is.

Living through it... Python 3 made a lot of changes for the better but 3.0 in particular included a bunch of unforced errors that made it too hard for people to upgrade in one go. It wasn't until much later (I would say 3.4 or 3.5?) th

In Python attribute access aren't stable! `self.x` where `x` is a property is not guaranteed to refer to the same thing. And getting rid of descriptors would be a _fundamental change to the language_. An immeense one. Loads of features

Oh! While this one does mention that you don't have visibility, this + weak refs seem to change the game I remember a couple of years ago (well probably around 2021) reading about GC exposure concerns and seeing some line in some TC39

It's interesting you mention __del__ because Javascript not only doesn't have destructors but for security reasons (that are above my pay grade) but the spec _explicitly prohibits_ implementations from allowing visibility into gar

yeah tbqh I think the biggest challenge with tooling on that front is that this really is a problem mostly limited to community projects. The problems jazzband need to solve don't exist nearly as much in a universe where everyone is in

That requires a lot of infra that isn’t built into _any_ of our tooling. It’s not so much about decision making as it is about the practical reality that people at that level basically need at least read access to a lot of secrets. You coul

I still can't get over how this thing is priced the same as the 2013 Macbook Air... when looking at JPY prices. I wonder how much of the Neo pricing wow factor is Apple taking advantage of the strong dollar vs much else that's cha
