I was looking for this and thought I was doing something wrong not finding anything... Great job! I do think though a "clean" development mode not needing this would be to work with a virgin virtual environment starting a new project and running pip freeze on that env.

Wow what an honor! VB really got me of the ground (after a short endeavor with QBASIC) and I loved it! I have to say though that in terms of creating an UI it kind of messed me up: When later studying CS and was asked to create a UI based project in Java I really did not understand what was going on: All students in my team thought it was "normal" that you would hardcore not only the functionality of a button but also it's position, color etc. From VBA I was used to just drag and drop, press F5 and enjoy! Same goes for debugging via terminal outputs... Anyways, many thanks to you (and others) - VB really got me hooked

Increasing max/avg/median lifespan without major improvements in battling dementia it is a rather dystopian vision. And even if we are not talking full blown Alzheimers, declining mental capabilities is a big issue: My own grandmother turns 102 this year and even though we as a family feel really blessed, I would say the last 5 years have been a slow but constant decline in mental capabilities. It went hand in hand with decline in eyesight and hearing. So: not hearing much anymore, not able to read or really watch TV and all your friends and relatives have passed for years. I really don't know if I would whish her getting 120...

Reading Hagakure (Japan, 1716) really helps putting things into perspective here: Even back then the author complained about moral decline. And in the author`s eyes the sad low point of this degeneracy is the trend that the young lords won't e Perform their beheadings themselves anymore...

What a lot of people don't know: the standard NATO barbedwire - correctly deployed - is highly effective against tanks: It messes up the chains and is a nightmare to remove (eg blowing them up is not an option).

I prefer Andrew D. Huberman's idea: Dopamine is the real currency
