If we're talking about health and cookware, you're not going to want nonstick cookware.

It's about TCO and time to market. Depending on what you're building, it's all YMMV. This article just quotes some individual costs
As somebody who worked at a mid-tier company trying to run databases, I can attest that RDS was a godsend. Trying to hire both a DBA and an Ops team that knew how to write the chef cookbooks for a proper multi-node cluster postgres was a nightmare. Like, we never succeeded, and something that's ootb with RDS
You must not forget that also, many (most?) companies that run things themselves do not do it right. Like, with proper off-site backups that you're regularly testing and know you have options to easily spin up replicas or restore point-in-time backups
Jeff Atwood's been saying this from the initial SO podcasts from 2008. If you have the right people who are motivated, and provide the right equipment and resources, you've always had the opportunity to have lower TCO doing it yourself
I have since moved on to a small top-tier company and still prefer to "outsource" my DBA work by way of using Aurora. Yes Aurora is more expensive. No, I don't have the mental or monetary budget to hire up a proper ops team. I know my limits

It does not.

Precisely. They symlink to a path. Which means that if you have a certain version of Python at one location (let’s say /usr/bin/python3) and later update that (let’s say by upgrading macOS and the Xcode developer tools), the same virtual environment will point to a different version of Python.
> Just don't uninstall your python binaries and you're fine.
That’s not a practical solution. Sometimes you don’t have a choice, as demonstrated above. By that logic one could say “don’t change anything about your system and you don’t even need virtual environments”. Which is somewhat true, but also profoundly unhelpful.
The point of the question was to reproduce the same thing without asterisks and you’ve introduced a major one and called it a day.
This is not the way you're supposed to be using pyenv
You're supposed to install a specific version of python in a specific place, with a specific name. Say, /usr/local/python-3.10.6
Use pyenv to use that python. Control that by creating a `.python-version` file that says 3.10.6
You now have a project that uses 3.10.6. Unless, of course, somebody installs a different version in that path - at which point you've got bigger issues
Using pyenv to use `/usr/bin/python3` and hoping for the best misses the point
My wife makes an living asking people for things.
She writes like the latter example. I find myself continuously frustrated by people. She loves them. I find that I'm constantly rejected when suggesting things, she isn't.
I'm with you, but I think we're wrong.
I was talking to somebody who worked HR at a multi-disciplinary shop, and she said you could always identify the emails coming from programmers
It was a complaint, definitely not a compliment. She said programmers listed things out in bullet points and bluntly to-the-point. She complained they were dry, intimidating, and she hated dealing with them
I still write concisely and with bullet points, when writing to other programmers. But I now expand things when talking to everybody else. And I've found I get better responses
In the example screenshot, the assistant takes this input:
> im interested in this place - do you allow dogs?
and writes this output:
> I'm interested in your property. Its exactly what I've been looking for. To make it perfect for me, I just need to know if the unit is pet-friendly. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.
The input is concise and to the point, the latter is infuriatingly verbose and formulaic. But I guess it'll be easy to filter out humans I would actually be willing to communicate with.
Why is this downvoted? I consider it and its replies interesting and relevant
If there's an HN policy violation in this post, I'm legit curious what it is
