I haven't written Python in a few years, and recently when I needed to read some Python code thinking it would be familiar, I am completely unprepared to see async/await peppered everywhere. It is indeed a big change.
Yep, the moment I saw that I though "REBOL"! (Actually, I thought of Red, but same idea.)

Still, it seems that this is not thought through properly. What should the language do if the server does not return JSON? And can't we basically do this in Python already?
You didn't present your argument in meme form, not sure you're going to change any minds...

When a negative tendency must be negated, there are always people who pretend the negation is no different. It's a question of what/who not to tolerate, and why -- the answer doesn't fit in an image macro or on a bumper sticker, just as it can't be packaged in a word like "intolerance".
My point was more that it is a bit off for the representatives of countries that did restrict freedom of movement to lecture the UK about it's importance. The UK could have applied similar restrictions but I think that the EU would be in worse shape if it had done, it would be nice to get a bit of credit for this.
How did you assemble database of these books?
The principles of the EU are great, just badly executed. Europe is not dead, there is however democracy which isn't as easy as dictatorship. Let's see how the brexit turns out also, right now it's too soon to tell

Even Trump publicly changed his opinion ;)
If you don't want to memorize single-character keyboard commands, why does vi greatly interest you? How do you plan to put it into use without those commands?
As the blog post mentioned, we solve the issue by deleting the crate from the package repository and reserving these problematic names. The incident lasted about 2 and a half hours.

Crate names have to be one or more valid idents connected by hyphens, so no other clever names like `/home` would be possible to upload. We already had some crate names reserved and we just needed to add these to the list.
Most "refugees" aren't even coming from Libya or Syria. It's just free for all, everyone who isn't white is welcome in Europe for the moment, just leave the shore and NGOs will gladly pick you up and ferry to the Italian coast.
From Wikipedia:

"Base64 is a group of similar binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation."

Binary. To. Text. As in - bytes in, text out. Come on now.
Performance can be measured.

The rest is indeed opinion. The opinion of the python community after almost 10 (!) years after after the first release is quiet obvious: 3.x sucks!

I just don't know from where all the 3.x apologist appear as soon as there is a discussion. There always appears to be an inherent need to somehow defend this complete failure.
The people blaming the left for not tolerating intolerance don't actually think this deep, to them it's just a meme or oneliner, often coupled with exclamation marks and words like snowflake, liberal tears and cuck.
While the issue opener is quite brisk and curt, they hardly goes as far as overt rudeness. The blank non-response is astoundingly rude and dismissive in contrast.
I'd rather solve immortality first, and figure out how to deal with it second.
Maybe the best strategy is to show the generic description when it's a book you haven't personally written the description for. That way you can concentrate on the books you love or find most interesting, while still providing a huge variety to your users.
Here is one more point against chrome, I use opera, I will not switch browsers. Maybe just give url that we can make as homepage.

Otherwise great idea.

I am big fan of momentum homepage.
> analysis and archeological evidence suggest that the Bantu originated near the border of Nigeria and Cameroon....

When Mandela and Winne were in the midst of their divorce, I read an article which reported that Winnie got the matrimonial home as part of the settlement because 'the placenta of her children were buried there....' This practice is widespread in West Africa. It surprised me that it was a thing in South Africa as well and spurred my (amateur) search for other similarities in culture.

Turns out there are many : inheritance laws, burial customs,traditional government organization.

This article does a lot to explain why we are so similar. In particular, the culture and traditions of central plains dwelling Nigerian tribes (Tiv, Berom, Jukun etc) are very similar to that of the Eastern and South African Bantu (Swahili, Xhosa, Zulu)

How do you find a (Remote) Content Writer/Designer job?
Hackers, I graduated with a degree in CS last week and would like to get a remote job that can help me travel a bit before I join my corporate job. I have had bad experience with AngelList over the years (Companies don't reply after showing interest.) So I'd like to hear exactly how do you find a remote job?

It's funny that he has this image of being a banker. This guy did all of his career at the ministry of finance or in a minister's staff, then went to monetize his address book for two years in a bank before coming back to politics. I don't really see him as a banker. I see him as a civil servant and a networking artist.
It's funny how the Macron-LePen debate video wasn't even in top of google results for that exact phrase.

US politics are way more interesting for the rest of the world.
You base your 90% claim based on what? I have entirely different experience and I am using C++14 and C. K&R "C programming language" is from 1978 and it's still one of the best books about C still used in 2017. I see many stackoverflow answers updated from C++98 to C++11/14 and some even to C++17.
Can we really assume that based on votes alone? Just because they didn't vote for him in the first round doesn't mean they don't like him.
Trolling? Regardless, Firstly I'd say the EU was secondary to the US and USSR/latterly Russia in controlling war in Europe. Secondly I suppose I could lower myself to your tone by making the point that the UK is a nuclear weapons state and generally you don't f with that either, and lastly most people in the UK don't care about the empire, and the topic usually seems to be raised by people having a pop at the UK.

> if EU states remain wildly different from each other in culture, language, and regulations, the EU will continue to remain a much less appealing market than the US.

Sounds like you're advocating erasing the cultural and linguistic variety of the member states in favour of a common language and culture so that American companies can sell things more easily?
That's betting against the ECB. Dangerous game.

My old BBC Micro system [video]
Some people want their country to continue to be a shithole with rampant unchecked illegals and migrants thumbing their noses at the law.

All for what? Some false utopian ideal of "but muh multiculturalism"
Ok how do we in the US promote globalism and cause us to join the EU with Canada, Mexico, and China (and anyone else that wants to join)?

What? You thought we globalist were going to stop at 50 states?

There's no fundamental reason we can't get rid of borders and open the world up to free movement and trade.

Countries that trade with each other don't go to war against each other.
You mention lots of what ifs, but the reality is this, in the most capitalist countries it almost never happenes that there is not bread.

Even if these large companies control much, if they had problems the huge demand would mean lots of other people would have a huge insentive to get into the market. There are lots of other companies who have the fundamental tools to get into that market (logistics, financial, connections to sellers) and so on.

Cenral planning is not a straw man, it has been one of the most powerful ideas in the 20 Century that had a huge amount of peole behind it, from top ecnomist to top politicans not to mention a huge intelligentsia. Yes the modern left does not buy these ideas holesale but the principle problem is the same, their criticism derives from the same underlaying assumtions.

> Crucially, it does not mention that during times of war, when resources are scarce, that all that the video celebrates gets abandoned and something that looks suspiciously like central planning gets adopted.

Its only partly correct that during war everything is central planned, the most effective war time economy were served by a efficent market in the background.

However you are somewhat correct, the problem is just that they are different problems. In a free society usually the goal is that everybody can live their lives according to their own wishes. Markets are great for that. In a free society that goes into a total war all people demand survival above all and focusing on that demand can constrain consumtion and focus almsot everything on one goal.

So yes, if your only goal in society is to produce bread, then having a war style economy to focus everything on that one goal, markets will lose. However if you want to be a free society where people determen their own goals, markets are what you need and want.
If you have zero understanding of current French politics like me, John Oliver's free show on YouTube has an excellent breakdown of why this is so important. All the candidates have some serious cons, but the frontrunner for the nationalist party is pretty sketch and her father (party's founder I believe) has openly denied the holocaust I believe. Disclaimer: I know pretty much nothing and am not French.
Maybe we would do something like regenerate from doctor who.

Almost like a partial reset or wipe of ourselves ?
Not exactly a surprise, if the polls were wrong this time, they'd have needed to be off by nearly ~15 points in both directions. This is the first big win neo-liberalism has had in a short-while. Time will tell if it was due to Macron being a good candidate or Marie-la-penn (sp?) turning people off.

I don't think, that E-Mobility per se is fixing the problem. I just think, that many things could/should be done, but most opportunities just where wasted for decades now, because of pure short-term profit thinking.

The other thing is, because the Germans waited so long, they are about to loose there own possibilities. Now other countries are far ahead -- morally and technologically.

This encouraged me to spend the morning reading up on Vue. They have a section on their site comparing it to React. AFAICT Vue is faster but react has a larger ecosystem (partially on account of a large head start)? What's the best argument for using Vue instead of React at this point?

I guess what I'm really asking: does anyone think Vue will still be good and fast in a couple of years or will it be more like Angular, breaking under its own weight and growth? (no offense to the angular folks, but I haven't heard an engineering team say "glad we chose angular" for a while)

Political outsider doesnt mean anti-establishment.
Trump is clearly anti-establishment.
Macron was pro-eu.
Macron is more of a social-democrat, not really a libertarian. He is for mixed economy with a large public service and some degree of liberalism, pro big state.

Relieved to see Le Pen not getting elected. But don't see how an establishment candidate like Macron will deliver for the people. Capitalising on that frustration, again, FN will come back for the 2022 election stronger, leaving only someone like Melenchon calable of defeating them.
It's not funny, just an algorithm.
I'm living in Bulgaria and Google News shows that news as a top story.
There's also no reason you can't have borders indefinitely. Open borders have the draw backs of depressing wages. In an era where income-inequality is one of the top issues in the political debate, this is an area that's a non-starter until it can be done in a way that won't exacerbate said issue.

I think it will be/is a little bit of both.
Summary of pro death arguments re: longevity progress

Fairness
Only rich people will get it. (no tech has ever done this.)
Better to give money to the poor than science. (family,city,state,nation, has proven local investment beats foreign.)

Bad for society
Dead people make more room for new, other people. (consider going first.)
Run out or resources (live people discover/extract/renew better than dead or nonexistant)
Overpopulation (colonize the seas, solar system, or have a war.)
Stop having kids
Worse wars (nukes are more dangerous than having your first 220 year old person in 2136)
Dictators never die (they die all the time and rarely of age)

Bad for individual
You'll get bored. (your memory isn't that good, or your boredom isn't age related)
You'll have to watch your loved ones die. (so you prefer they watch you?)
You'll live forever in a terrible state. (longevity requires robustness.)
Against gods will (not if he disallows suicide, then it is required.)

More people make more progress faster. I'm glad my parents didn't decide the world would be prettier or work better without me in it. Einstein, Bell, Tesla, Da Vinci etc, still alive and productive would be nice. Many literally asking for others to die out of their fear. The burden should be higher. Have courage. If living longer sucks, we'll know 100 years from now, and decide then. First 220 year old in 2136 unless you know how to make one faster than 1 year per year? And that's if you added 120 years to a 100 year old person starting TODAY.

Man up, save your family, save yourself.

P.S. Curing aging isn't immortality. You die at 600 on average by accident, and if the parade of imaginary horribles comes true, even earlier.
Performance can be measured. And what better way than at scale. Facebook wrote an article a while back about how all new code is written in python3, and they are seeing huge performance wins because of it.

"The only way you are getting paid is releasing the MVP asap" -- this is impossible for us to do since we would need to spend a ton of time understanding their existing backend ( 4yrs old ) and at this point this MVP is worthless to them if they are truly imploding financially.
I'm 35, and have been saving for retirement and maxing out my 401(k) ever since I started working. I don't think I'll ever have 4 million dollars in my retirement account, but I think (hope?) I'll be fine.

I think it's the numbers that are suspect in this analysis.

1. The calculator asks for your salary, then uses your current salary to determine your need for money in retirement. If you're saving 20% of your salary, then really you are only living on 80%, and that 80% should be used as your 'living expenses money'.

(fine print of calculator: We then assume you can live comfortably off of 85% of your pre-retirement income. So if you earn $100,000 the year you retire, we estimate you will need $85,000 during the first year of retirement.

I think it should be at least 85% of what you're not saving. For example, if you're making 100k, saving 20k, then really you should take 85% of 80k, which is 68 - not 85.

Also costs change as you get older. While you may spend more for health care, you hopefully won't have to pay rent, for raising children, etc.

Finally, they seem to say they want to take all the money and purchase an annuity. It seems like as soon as you retire, your money stops growing (other than for inflation) because of the annuity, but if you kept that money growing while you were retired, it would probably be even less.

Really the big trouble is you can't rely on ever increasing markets with some 7% yearly rate of return. It could be higher, it could be lower. If it's lower for a long time, basically the US retirement systems (both 401k and pension) are in huge trouble.
For all the faults Le Pen has, it's not fair to smear her with her father's views. She distanced herself from him and expelled him from the National Front.
Let's just say that Python 3 is, in fact, slower than Python 2. Performance is only part of what makes a language great. In fact, if you need raw performance, Python is not the language to go. Most of my performance intensive code run with NumPy or Pandas, which is not Python anyway and are not at all affected.

I'm also not sure how you got the impression that everyone thinks Python 3 sucks. The fact that you see "apologist" might mean something?
> Have you and your European friends tried actually addressing some of the racist beliefs you casually take for granted which lead you to discriminate against immigrants when it comes to integration into society?

I don't think this is fair at all. I'm of Middle Eastern stock (now living in the US) and even I was kind of shocked when I stayed near Gare du Nord in Paris (especially) and in some other parts of the city. I did not feel as if I was in Europe. It felt like a souk in Qatar. I date a French North African woman and so am acutely aware of the integration problems many (not all of course) immigrants have in France. Many old time French North Africans, who fought for normality in the French society over decades, are now finding themselves on the side of "the other" again because of unnecessary mass immigration of people who are certainly not french and secular enough like the North Africans who migrated in the 60s and 70s. New Islamic immigration is preying on 2nd and 3rd generation somewhat normalized immigrants and destroying a population that was integrated and also creating a divide among the different ethnic groups within the country.

You may consider this perspective to be racist. But I don't see how allowing racist Middle Easterners (like most people I grew up with) with homophobic tendencies (almost a given) to mass immigrate to a country is not racist itself.

> Whereas in Europe it seems that you are constantly defined by your ancestry, even after multiple generations.

Why is this an issue? It is an exception to have countries like America and Canada (both of which I adore) which are based on ideals [1]. Most nations are created after bloody ethnic wars (especially in Europe). It would be wrong to force them to give up their ancestral lands. A crude proxy for seeing this is to have a look at the birthright citizenship map [2]. Only a handful of nations have jus soil (US and Canada being among them). Majority are jus sanguinis. And the trend is for ethnic countries like Germany and Ireland to go more towards jus sanguinis. Ethnic countries like Ireland and India in fact used to be jus soil and have recently moved away from that to preserve the ethnicity. So for countries built on ethnicity, why would you expect it not to be the case that one is defined by their ancestry?

[1] And yes, there are significant problems with the history of America especially with respect to the Native Americans.

while IMO Marine Le Pen is a terrible person, I think it's unfair to consider her father's holocaust denial in judging her.

I mean, she literally got him expelled from the party for that (although, arguably, as part a power struggle).
"Time will tell if it was due to Macron being a good candidate or Marie-la-penn (sp?) turning people off."

Well, it's only an anecdote but a French friend told me this morning:

Interestingly, I had almost the same conversation with an American friend in the last USA elections.
Nationalist party "Front National" is led by Marine Le Pen MLP. Her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen is a pretty despicable person altogether. You could measure Trump's worthlessness in microlepen. His ex-wive explained some sad truth about his behavior, his lies, his innate racism; and that's not even talking about the concentration camps comments. Front National has tried to clean his act for years since MLP took direction of the party, but the devious roots are still there, many of the core members are enjoying the father's racist sense of humor in private. That's just a start.
