Many of my company's tools have been moved from python to go for both speed and size reasons, as well as because it's much easier to distribute. Even python exec bundles can have significant problems on random workstations, yet the go tools always just work.
Whenever a discussion of this comes up, it seems there are always some "just use xyz" patterns, and usually 3 or 4 xyz or some very new thing someone just released and it always seems contradicts python official documentation. For every python packing question, there are 33 answers. I guess the irony is that there is more than one way to do it.
Use poetry, use prose, use pip, use venv, use vidtualenv, use conda, use --user, pipenv, pipfile, pipy,pipx,anaconda,miniconda.
It really is terrible. Npm gets a lot of flack for having vulnerable packages but do you see how many python fanatics push pip freeze? It allows them to ignore security vulnerabilities. I'm scared of upgrading any dependencies in my python projects because any update is virtually guaranteed to break. I can upgrade npm all day long and rarely encounter an issue. The ecosystem is so radically different.
She has urinated/defecated in the house maybe 10 times in the 5 years we've had her and most of those were in the first 12 months. She requires very little walking and is very housebroken. Worst thing that happens these days is a couple of times a year she pukes in the house, but even then we have her trained to puke in our walk in shower.
She also will just lay in our yard when other people/dogs walk by, so long as they do not enter our yard. She will not bark or enter guard dog mode until the lights are off and we're in bed. After that she will guard the front door and only bark if someone is in our yard. She is great with kids and other dogs. Only thing she is not great with is cats. She's also a herding dog (bouvier des flanders) and will reliably have my mom's chickens herded within 1 minute of arriving at my parents' place.
I'm pretty sure we won the dog lottery with her. I understand you're just generalizing, but let it be known that it's possible for some dogs to just be awesome. I think breed has a lot to do with it.
What the US Federal Government/IRS doesn't have is a free way to e-file taxes online.
There are plenty of examples on github/gitlab for most of the services you mentioned. Like most programming languages, you need to separated the wheat from the chaffe; 99% of the CF publicly available sucks. Hit me up if you need help.
I also use it with sites I don't necessarily trust, like a random auto parts store. If it were a tad easier to use, I'd use it for nearly everything.
I've noticed myself that I've done it a few times.
Unstable? I really only run LTS, though prior to ubuntu I ran debian stable, and I rarely run into anything unstable except for certain glitches which are often graphics related and worked around with different approaches, sometimes resorting to using a different window manager.
How did I do it? I ran business level laptops. Not high-end consumer laptops - those are junk, I mean 3 generations of the Dell D series, 3 generations of the Dell E series, HP Z Books, etc.
I should also point out that mostly kept with distro packages. If I broke down and installed another, I kept it out of /usr and in my homedir or /usr/local to isolate it, or I used a PPA from a trustyworthy source (Just because it's a PPA doesn't mean it's written by a competent person). When things did break, upgrades, etc. I did not blame Linux, I blamed the package that caused it.
Definitely worth a visit, I'd suggest. It's really a beautiful country.
For instance, if I have a dog trained to fetch my fowl from a lake after shooting it, is that convenience or survival? Does it not depend on the circumstance? In the deep cold of winter it may spare me from a swift death, for the very same hunter in the summer it may save me from spending 30 minutes fetching it so that I can spend that 30 minutes making camp or playing cards.
This trade off runs the entire gamut, all the way from extreme survival to extreme convenience, and who are you to say what is right or wrong? Further, is there not a point where cirgarette butt collection increases survival for living things? Do you wait for that inflection point before you begin calling this ethical?

As that is definitely something the os has no cability to block.
I wonder if this is because those request for ranges larger than /16 now have to go through a team (read:committee)? Does that somehow offset the gained time above?
Does anyone have any good resources for what's projected to happen when scarcity hits? Surely, prices are going to be raised everywhere (Comcast Business, AWS, etc.) due to supply and demand, right? What happens with an IPv4 for comcast business that goes from $10/month to $100/month? Does the business just decide to go with a static ipv6 and a dynamic ipv4? Do then then start hosting their mail with gapps or similar since they can't host their own IPv4?
