  • Here, fixed it for you so the analogies to the apple example are not completely wrong:

    “Cars should have more seatbelts!” “Yet you buy from brand X who refuses to provide belts and lobbies against belts, you could buy Y instead!”

    “We should improve our society. (Said by a rich provileged person)” “Yet you don’t push back against horrible practices, just talk a bit and otherwise enjoy your privilege.”




  • Yup, packaging is the worst side of python. Conda having a default base environment is a huge mistake on their part, many people are burned by this constantly. I suggest you try mamba/micromamba: it’s the same, much faster, and has no base env by default.

    Btw, python hasn’t had backward incompatibe versions for more than a decade now. The problem comes from libraries being too strict or too loose with their restrictions, with at the same time no way for the interpreter to simply use different versions of the same library at once (which other languages like julia can do)
