I see this as a balance between effort and impact. I don't know anything about politics - maybe this is how it should work - but I do know corporate IT bureaucracy. In many cases, the activation energy required to move the needle on rather trivial things just isn't worth the effor; so you look for workarounds, forgotten corners of the infra, or other rogue ways to actually do stuff. When an IT department says to me - great idea, formalize these 20 pages of requirements, death by powerpoint style, and put it in our suggestion box - I just pass on that. I suspect politics is even worse than the run of the mill corporate IT, and many people feel the same in regards to politics.
I was a manager of 12 for several months and that was really difficult. I got a severe burnout, even though I had no IC responsibilities. I cannot imagine how could I dedicate enough time to my team if I did.
> Other languages draw those boundaries in different places. For example, in Russian, light blue and dark blue are separate basic color terms (goluboy vs. siniy), so asking a Russian speaker to collapse those into a single category would feel just as wrong as collapsing orange into red or yellow does to us.
I don't know. I am a russian speaker and for me light blue (goluboy) is simply a type of blue.
I probably wasn’t clear in the above comment - but what I tried to say is that the thread disincentivizes pro-Israel comments; I am pro-Israel as well and prefer not to engage.
Getting downvoted by all the emotional people here is not worth it; this thread does not welcome a polite discussion especially from the pro-Israel side. Like in any social media with a voting system (terrible idea, I might add), the vocal and active majority wants to disentivise the disagreement.
A couple of years ago, one rainy Saturday morning, I woke up with a devastating hangover and nothing else to do - so I decided to build myself a PC, like in good old days. Turned out it wasn't at all difficult to find a local store; only two-three hours later I was already driving home with all these sexy looking boxes filled with hardware. That was in Sweden.
The main difference between mise and pixi is an ability to subscribe to conda channels and build (in an extremely fast way) conda environments, bypassing or eliminating most of the conda frustration (regular conda users know what I mean). mise allows to install asdf tools primarily (last I checked).
On the python front, however, I am somehow still an old faithful - poetry works just fine as far as I was every concerned. I do trust the collective wisdom that uv is great, but I just never found a good reason to try it.
