I use Ubuntu and it's the exact same thing for me, so I don't think it's MacOS-specific. To be honest, the whole versioning quagmire is the main reason why I don't use Python as one of my main languages, but just as an outsider like you. I like the language but I hate wasting my time with that kind of thing.

I’ll never forget the day we pulled into port after a week crossing the ocean, and the cruise ship started unloading dead bodies, one after the other, into ambulance after ambulance.

It turns out that this was normal. Outside the the party cruse lines / routes, the median age of a cruise ship passenger is “old”. When you have several thousand old people in one place for a week, statistically, one or more tend to die of natural causes.

Once we learn to look for it, we saw the unloading all the time.

We where able to delete so much code when we switched to Python 3. When you integrate with especially Windows system converting unknown text was tricky at best.

It’s not that Python 2 couldn’t do it, but the corner cases and error handling was a pain. Trying to guess encoding at runtime was pretty error prone, with Python 3 it just works.

Python 3 was a rocky transision, but I never understood the negativity and I’ll be happy to see Python 2 die, so our system can go back to having just one Python interpretter.
1 in 10,000 people in the US die each year in a car accident.

So it would require 3,000 deaths per year to approach cars.

It actually works out reasonable as an estimate: if you spend 1-2 hours in a car each day, that’s 4-8% of your year; a week on a cruise ship would be 2% of a year. So we’re within an order of magnitude on exposure to each.

So with 30 people per year dying to falling off boats, it’s much, much less dangerous than cars.

I think this is largely a second system result. If you want correct unicode handling it's not harder in 2.x than in 3.x. The main reason unicode support was more complex in 2.x for the most part is that many APIs supported working with Bytes and on 3.x that burden is pushed to the API consumer.

> Trying to guess encoding at runtime was pretty error prone, with Python 3 it just works.

You should not guess on 2.x either. On the other hand in 3.x the interpreter sometimes guesses the encoding for you when working with OS data on unix and that has lead to some absurd bugs when it falls into that surrogate handling fallback code: http://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/python3/#python-3-su...

Not sure if serious... "Libertarian left" is not even close to being the strongest libertarian current today, so to suggest that it's "the strongest left-wing current" is beyond ludicrous. Don't get me wrong I even think left-libertarianism has a lot to go for from a purely intellectual POV, but that's some serious wishful thinking.

>faa level of certification required within the following two decade

If that's the case (and I'm not saying it isn't), you then probably need maintenance and update processes on par with commercial aviation. And that probably implies certified organizations renting/leasing vehicles only. And, at that point, you're probably cheaper just to have a minimum wage human driver.

Mainstream self-driving implies that people can buy cars at a similar price point that they can today and maintain them in the same loosey goosey way that many people also do today.

> You'll know the names of the states. How many other foreign countries do you know the subdivisions of

I prefer to compare the USA with Europe as a whole, its member countries as states. In that light, I wager many Americans would know quite a few. Norway, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Ireland surely would make the majority? Maybe even Belgium. Are we still allowed to say UK?

Americans love to chastise themselves for lack of knowledge of foreign countries. But, to compare a >300mm economic powerhouse to a <10mm sideshow? Neither would I. Don’t be so hard on yourselves :D

Japan is probably the best country to be poor in, because you can still afford rent, food, and health insurance and you don't need to worry about living in a crime-ridden area with a high risk of murder and robbery--because such neighborhoods literally do not exist. People are worrying about whether they can afford to have a kid and pay for daycare or still enjoy their summer vacation while hauling a baby around, not if they can afford to have anything to eat for the upcoming week.

They're required by law not to do business in certain countries. They were over-broad and over-aggressive in how they tried to follow that law, unnecessarily shutting down accounts, which was certainly a fuckup. But I don't see any indication that they gave information to the US government.
I've heard of this - people considering Python 2.7 as an "LTS" version of the language, receiving bug fixes but otherwise remaining unchanged for many years.

> until Hitler started incarcerating millions of people and threatened all out war on Europe, the US wasn't really bothered all that much

If by US you mean the public, many in the public did care, insofar they were aware. Generally not enough to want refugees in their country, but they still wanted to see the atrocities of the Nazis condemned by their government more than they were.

But if by US you mean the US government, parts of it were bothered enough to block reports, at the very least:

https://exhibitions.ushmm.org/americans-and-the-holocaust/ma...

> In early 1943, US State Department officials blocked reports about the mass murder of Jews from reaching the United States. Some at the State Department wanted to avoid any increase in public pressure to aid Jews and thought that if the American people did not have information about the atrocities, they would not protest.

[..]

> In November 1943, a group of congressmen, influenced by activist Peter Bergson, introduced bipartisan resolutions in the House of Representatives and Senate calling for President Roosevelt to create a government commission to rescue Europe’s Jews. In secret testimony before Congress, Assistant Secretary of State Breckinridge Long declared that the State Department already had admitted 580,000 refugees, a claim soon publicly proven false.

> At the same time, US Treasury Department staff investigated the State Department’s delays and obstruction in sending relief into Europe to aid Jewish refugees. They discovered that State Department officials had deliberately suppressed reports about the murder of Jews. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. agreed to present their findings to President Roosevelt.

> As a result of Treasury’s efforts, Roosevelt signed an executive order on January 22, 1944, establishing the War Refugee Board. It was charged with the rescue and relief of victims of Nazi oppression as long as it did not interfere with the war effort.

There are so many examples of GPL software being blacklisted by commercial companies and dying out as a result. Linux, Bash, gcc, Blender, Ansible, MySQL, git… It really is quite a graveyard.

I'm less enthused with the defaults than you are. How many people do you think would correctly handle foreign text in this Python 3 exercise:

Write a Python 3 program that takes two arguments, reads a text file named "input.txt", replaces all instances of the first argument in the text with the second argument, and writes the result to "output.txt". For extra credit, add an option to print to stdout.

My bet is very few people would write that program correctly.
And it didn’t always happen. If it always happen for everyone there would have been a much bigger outcry over the next three years.

A few people can down vote, but most people with an account can upvote. Corrective upvote will often be provided - there are people on HN who look for unfairly downvoted posts to supply corrective upvote.

If your post is downvoted and remains downvoted it means that someone downvoted it, and no-one else who read it thought it deserved different.

Phrases like [citation needed] are often going to get downvoted. Downvotes are likely because you're claiming prison is a deterrent and that longer sentences are a stronger deterrent with nothing to support that claim, while asking someone else to support their claim that longer sentences aren't a deterrent.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong but I strongly suspect that over the next couple of years it's going to become apparent that tests and proof of concepts in a combination of limited and easy conditions (e.g. Chandler AZ) and other environments with a human backup are a very long way from scaling and generalizing to selling a truly self-driving car to the public.

It's also possible we'll see assistive driving systems for certain conditions (e.g. selected freeways) that don't require human attention and that full autonomy will be relegated to a maybe someday future. From the perspective of the car manufacturers, full highway autonomy actually seems like a big win even if it's not as sexy as autopilot under all conditions.

> Python 3's unicode model is completely outdated but was supposed to be the big feature of the version. While that was happening however the rest of the world started moving over to UTF-8.

I’m not sure what you mean. Are you suggesting that Python use UTF-8 encoded strings internally instead of decoded Unicode codepoints like it does currently?

I’ve worked on Perl that uses that approach and it’s an absolute nightmare. All string operations suddenly must be aware of details of UTF encoding, which complicates even simple things immensely. You get hard-to-find bugs when some code somewhere introduces invalid UTF to a string. The only real benefit you get is slightly smaller memory footprint when dealing mostly with English text.

I much prefer Python’s decode-process-encode approach.

Nope.

But it survived, which is the important thing. I thought 3 would kill Python, but it has survived and that is a very good thing.

Anecdotally, non-nerds fins python easier to read than other popular languages. It’s become the go-to language for a bunch of domains that reach outside core nerding (data analysis, education, DSL like stuff) and I predict Python will therefore be widely used in 2050, and probably be popular aged 100.
