  • Global trade drove the cost of supplies and goods down to the lowest available prices, so while setting tariffs may encourage local production because it makes overseas less attractive, the price of goods still goes up on both scenarios.

    If moved locally, there will be more local labor required for production but it’s not clear if that is a net benefit.

    Hypothetically under globalism more developed countries shed their “dirty manufacturing labor jobs” and move more people upmarket. Of course this is matter of nonstop debate among economists because as we all know the whole population of a country can’t move upmarket together and a lot of people were/are screwed because of lack of education and opportunity to develop themselves.

    In an ideal implemention of this, more people would be moving to the arts, self expression, and technology, while fewer are involved in survival activities like shelter and food.

    I think the unsolved problem now is that average people believe way too much of that wealth went to the top while the middle class is working harder than ever and getting less.



  • Python developer here. Venv is good, venv is life. Every single project I create starts with

    python3 -m venv venv

    source venv/bin/activate

    pip3 install {everything I need}

    pip3 freeze > requirements.txt

    Now write code!

    Don’t forget to update your requirements.txt using pip3 freeze again anytime you add a new library with pip.

    If you installed a lot of packages before starting to develop with virtual environments, some libraries will be in your OS python install and won’t be reflected in pip freeze and won’t get into your venv. This is the root of all evil. First of all, don’t do that. Second, you can force libraries to install into your venv despite them also being in your system by installing like so:

    pip3 install --ignore-installed mypackage

    If you don’t change between Linux and windows most libraries will just work between systems, but if you have problems on another system, just recreate the whole venv structure

    rm -rf venv (…make a new venv, activate it) pip3 install -r requirements.txt

    Once you get the hang of this you can make Python behave without a lot of hassle.

    This is a case where a strength can also be a weakness.
