  • The difficulty with python tooling is that you have to learn which tools you can and should completely ignore.

    Unless you are a 100x engineer managing 500 projects with conflicting versions, build systems, docker, websites, and AAAH…

    • you don’t really need venvs
    • you should not use more than on package manager (I recommend pip) and you should cling to it with all your might and never switch. Mixing e.g. conda, on linux system installers like apt, is the problem. Just using one is fine.
    • You don’t “need” need any other tools. They are bonuses that you should use and learn how to use, exactly when you need them and not before. (type hinting checker, linting, testing, etc…)

    Why is it like this?

    Isolation for reliability, because it costs the businesses real $$$ when stuff goes down.

    venvs exists to prevent the case that “project 1” and “project 2” use the same library “foobar”. Except, “project 1” is old, the maintainer is held up and can’t update as fast and “project 2” is a cutting edge start up that always uses the newest tech.

    When python imports a library it would use “the libary” that is installed. If project 2 uses foobar version 15.9 which changed functionality, and project 1 uses foobar uses version 1.0, you get a bug, always, in either project 1 or project 2. Venvs solve this by providing project specific sets of libraries and interpreters.

    In practice for many if not most users, this is meaningless, because if you’re making e.g. a plot with matplotlib, that won’t change. But people have “best practices” so they just do stuff even if they don’t need it.

    It is a tradeoff between being fine with breakage and fixing it when it occurs and not being fine with breakage. The two approaches won’t mix.

    very specific (often outdated) version of python,

    They are giving you the version that they know worked. Often you can just remove the specific version pinning and it will work fine, because again, it doesn’t actually change that much. But still, the project that’s online was the working state.




  • Depends, it’s been a bit disappointing to see virtually no change since I started using it, particularly in terms of QoL. It is open source, so that’s on everyone, including me, but I had hoped for more speed, etc…

    Mastodon is way better when it comes to filtering.

    Having the option of a reddit clone is pretty good though and I will stick with it. Who knows when and where it will get that critical bit of momentum.

    It’s already superior to regular forums, in my opinion, so now the question is what kind of format you want to have discussions in, instead of having to default to forums. That choice is a definite upside and I’m glad it exists.


  • In a different time, under different assumptions, meritocracy can happen. Working and working a lot in that kind of environment, enriches yourself, your company and society, without a downside.

    Overtime you put in, may be more work, but it’s temporary, necessary, because you in your job doing the overtime, helps orders of magnitude more, in critical situations, than other people can, or maybe there is actually nobody else to do the job and the job doesn’t get done. E.g. specialized surgeons saving lives. And that effort and overtime would be recognized and rewarded under those assumptions as well.

    Somebody who has worked extraordinary amounts, would have put in extraordinary effort. They would be community champions.


    It’s important to recognize that clash of assumptions.

    seek so much escapism to be away from dealing with the bleak, always-gloomy mentality of work.

    His words, or yours?


  • Ich finde die sonstigen Begründungen schlüssig.

    auch wegen der grundgesetzlichen Schuldenbremse, auf die die Rich­te­r:in­nen ausdrücklich verweisen.

    Das ist bescheuert. Man macht nicht Rentenerhöhung, Diätenerhöhung, etc… und sagt dann “ja aber beim Bafög haben wir Schuldenbremse”. Das ist kindisch.

    Das Gericht kann leider nur danach entscheiden was schon Verfassung ist. Und wir haben leider keinen Anspruch auf Wohlstandsgleichheit und -ausgleich. Wir haben nur die Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz und eine Chancengleichheit die dadurch ungefähr gewährleistet ist, das man nicht prinzipiell vom Studium ausgeschlossen werden kann (also nach Geschlecht, Eltern, Kaste, Hautfarbe, Religion etc.), sondern es tatsächlich nur vom Geld und Verhalten abhängt.

    Die Situation allgemein um Ausbildung, Studium, Schulen, Bafög ist trotzdem Mist. Aber das Gericht hat Recht, die Aktion muss hier nicht von ihnen kommen, sondern über den normalen politischen Prozess. Leider.










  • Ich glaube nicht das Merz soviel über ein Angestelltengehalt kriegt.

    Aber wenn man “Personalmangel” hat und “Leute anwerben will” macht sich “unterdurchschnittliches Gehalt” erstmal schlecht.

    Es geht ja nichtmal um Tellerwäscher zum Millionär Geschichten die ich von der Polizei erwarte, aber wenn die durchschnittliche Polizeikarriere auch ein Studium / Ausbildung braucht, aber weniger zahlt als ein durchschnittlicher anderer Job, ist es halt eine dumme Karriereentscheidung zur Polizei zu gehen.

    Das ist eigentlich der Hauptgrund warum mich sowas immer etwas anpisst: Es sind Firmen und Gruppen die einen dazu bringen wollen eine objektive dumme und falsche Entscheidung zu treffen, die der Firma / Gruppe nutzt und dem Individuum eigentlich schadet. Und das kaschieren sie mit irgendwelchen billigen Marketingtricks. Es ist noch nichtmal eine clevere Lüge, sie machen halt einen… Rap Song, Tag der offenen Tür, einen banalen Appell an den Gerechtigkeitssinn, etc…
