I don't think you're having this discussion with anything near a neutral viewpoint, and I don't really want to engage further. You've said in the past you're not a Trumper, but you definitely appear to lean quite far right.

> According to a diversity report Google released earlier this year, Black women make up around 1.8 percent of its workforce and departed the company at a higher than normal rate. In the report, the company said it had “room for improvement” when it came to keeping underrepresented talent.

How much evidence are you going to demand before considering that perhaps they actually aren't treated fairly, by any reasonable definition of the word? You're largely refusing to engage with the actual topic at hand and instead squabbling over "shibboleths". Do you have an preferred way to discuss this, because I do think there's a legitimate concern here.

I think Google has been in the news many times now for having an incredibly low number of Black employees - Google's diversity efforts have not done really anything to change that, even though publicly they pretend to be doing a lot. I think it's quite reasonable for a union to question why those efforts have failed so miserably, since historically these same marginalized groups are paid less, given fewer opportunities for advancement, etc.

I don't really see how this is related to the post.

There's also the possibility that different people are affected differently, and maybe you just prefer alcohol to marijuana ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not something I do often (or even occasionally), but I definitely don't think it's nonsense.

I'm not proposing all production in the US switch to soy crops, and your argument seems pretty disingenuous to me

it's quite a nice language, and for many many cases is certainly fast enough these days.

This is an incredibly harsh restriction, and "we don't owe them explanations" would piss me right off. It sounds like you're really souring this relationship, and "I can have wifi, not you" seems really quite bizarre.

What do you think you're "protecting" them from? A healthy relationship with their parents based on trust and honesty? /s

Have you really sat down and discussed why these are in place? What's the issue with Minecraft and Terraria videos that make it a Constant. Battle? That seems quite harmless.

I would hate having you as my parent, to be completely honest.

Consider that, even if you want to use packages only from your application's virtualenv, the default (footgun warning!) is that Python will still use the "system" packages -- this means you may have installed Ansible or some other tool that relies on Python and many packages from the distro package manager. But your app could pick up one of those dependencies! At best, this will work fine. But in the worse cases, perhaps it subtly behaves differently or simply does not work at all.

My understanding is that Rust will, by default, statically link all of these dependencies. This, in Python, would be like a "pex" or "par" (or one of the many other options :^)), which does make the distribution aspect much simpler. (At the cost of build-time complexity, slowdowns, and occasional incompatibility.)

Yes, Python packages often make poor assumptions about what setup.py can do (i.e., _anything_), and so you end up choosing between "tested, supported by the author, and old" or "untested, unsupported, but up to date".

Wikipedia is surprisingly thorough on most drug articles. But you may even have seen such pipes for sale in stores... it can be smoked. Smoking various substances is pretty well accepted by society, even.
