In the beginning of WWII (not sure exactly till which years but at least 39-41), the US only fought in Europe via pilots (the UK greatly lacked pilots), and transport boats. The ground troops only arrived before D-Day at which point the US did get [more] involved in the WWII in Europe.

> A full on political union I suggest is the opposite of stability.

That really depends on the countries involved and the form of the union. Even in your version of events, with a reversion to an EEC-like state, I expect we would eventually see closer political union between France, Germany, the Benelux countries and whoever else wanted to join.

You also need to figure out what to do about the Eurozone. You cannot indefinitely sustain a monetary union without closer fiscal integration, which I assume you oppose, but dissolving it has its own issues both in the short and long term (there's a reason it was created in the first place, and that reason is not solely to facilitate closer political integration - even though that was indeed a goal).

You'll find an equal number of people on the right saying the same exact thing about the left.

There are extremists on both sides. Anyone living in a highly developed first world country using violence to "defend" their ideals is an extremist. They're only feeding extremism on the other side and it's why political divides keep growing deeper, despite the internet and social networks theoretically allowing more people of different beliefs to come together and discuss differences.
The joke is that I should have used descriptive names. "Alive" is pre-columnated text data (e.g. CSV rows). "Raw" is columnated text data (e.g. CSV cells). This makes it easier to accommodate quirks.

What's interesting is if you did this for just about any other country, there would be a wall of star spangled banners.

If you ever travel outside the US, you inevitably hear about what the US is doing, what they're discussing, who the important people are, etc. The reverse is not true:

- Everyone outside the US knows the top US politicians. You even know what issues they are discussing, like gun control and healthcare.

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

- You might also hear about the US sports leagues.

- You know what movies are big in the US. You know what songs are popular.

I would say it is down to AWS integration mainly, give an easy integration path to AWS services and dev's might be more willing to use AWS and that's where they make the money back.

But Twitch (an amazon company) also had its own game store they were pushing (and giving a cut of any sales referred from live streams to the streamer) but Twitch closed that down last month (But they still have free games / loot which is linked to your twitch account and accessible via their desktop client). So it is possible they might of pursued that route more heavily and did what Epic has done with their store (lower fee's when using their store and engine over using Steam and their engine).
Definitely yes, it took some time and had some costs but nowadays python (3) is a much better language. Perhaps it could have been done differently, however it is in the past now.
It seems to me that the US could fix a large chunk of the problem of ignoring crime, and do it overnight. Refuse to allow cruise ships to dock in the US if they do not account for their criminal procedures and meet certain standards, and they will change.
The only time I had Unicode trouble with python 2 was when a library thought it had to handle encoding. Instead of just piping in bytes on one end and piping out bytes at the other it failed the moment it saw an ü on a system with german text. Unicode certainly has a place, introducing thousands of system specific error and edge cases in what should be a few lines of utility script is not one of them.

A Framework of Loose Travelling Companion Discovery from Human Trajectories
Anything I consider important that I post online is pretty much public. I also wrote private messages on Facebook, but I didn't upload photos or text posts that I didn't want the world to see. For that kind of stuff, encryption is just a giant waste of resources, in my case, so if I ran mastodon on my server, I would be glad that I can turn that off.

I still fell victim to apparently being reported as non-human (after 9 years of using FB with over a hundred RL friends and former class mates, many photos of me, real name from day one, and so on), and while I could send a photocopy of my ID to Facebook, as a matter of principle I didn't and won't, not without even having the right to confront my accusers. For all I know, they're bots, at best some people who didn't like a comment I made on some article -- and from the accounts of others, even showing your ID doesn't mean you won't get fucked over in a similar way again. There is just no real recourse, so why even start jumping through hoops, I'm not going to be party to normalizing that nonsense.

I also don't believe in technical solutions to social problems. Encryption gains me nothing in a world where my neighbours just shrug when I get carted off for having using encrypted communication -- or get booted off Facebook -- so that needs to be "fixed" anyway, and should it ever be, encryption would be something that protects you against criminals and assholes, not something that protects you against big brother. IMO it's lethal to assume it ever could or should. It's something we can and should use on our way to social solutions to social problems, but not something to rely on. I know that many people in other countries or very different circumstances NEED encryption, so they should have it, and I might use it out of solidarity and to give them cover even -- but that won't fix the problem anymore than Napster fixed the music industry.
As an outsider who only uses Python when I need a specific tool that's only available through pip: it's still one of my biggest nightmares.

Every single time I need to install something with pip on MacOS there is this hour-long struggle with figuring out how to get the correct version of Python (2.7 vs 3) working with the correct version of pip working with the correct version of the library itself.

I don't know, I guess people who use Python regularly have figured it out, or maybe it's just a MacOS thing. For me, it's just a major PITA even 10 years after release.

> Could you explain with more details what properties of HTTP makes it hard to deal with complex data?

There are a few but one of the first that comes to mind is what happens if two users modify different fields/properties of the same resource at the same time?

If you want to support concurrent editing by multiple users, you need a way to either automatically resolve conflicts or to avoid conflicts altogether. With REST over HTTP, because updates typically involve overwriting the whole resource in a single POST or PUT, one user will fully overwrite the changes made by the other user; even if they were editing different fields of the same resource.

Depends really which section of the media you analyse. The majority of headlines on media channels and newsprints here are mostly on domestic matters. News about/from the US will find mention on the international section unless it is 'big' news.

And most people in the world probably don't know US politicians beyond the current President and his/her main challenger (during election time).

> That is true but these errors are very easy to fix in any language.

No they're not. Language without static type checks end up with unit tests as an ersatz type check.

> The difficult and most important part of programming is getting the system design/structure/architecture right.

TypeScript is literally JavaScript with typing added. The underlying runtime is the exact same as whatever will be running your non-tranpiled-from-TypeScript JavaScript. The big changes for class syntax and enums are simply more tools in your belt but you do not have to use them. Any valid pure-JS design translates immediately to usage in TypeScript. It's strictly superior.

> Avoiding bad design is the real challenge of programming e.g. code paths are too long and traverse too many different files, it's not clear where objects are coming from in the code (bad DI), files are poorly named, directory structure makes no sense, exceptions are not thrown or handled correctly, logging is absent or not detailed enough, testing is focused on the least important functionality, validation logic for external data is wrong or hard to follow, system doesn't scale, components don't have clear separation of concerns, component abstractions are leaking lower level concepts into the higher level logic, access control layer has gaps, etc... Static typing doesnt add any value for any of these things.

> Static typing can help find class or function definitions and usages in the code more easily but only if the classes, functions and methods are poorly named to begin with (if classes and methods have good, highly relevant names, then they're always easy to find in any language).

Static typing isn't just grep on steroids. It catches entirely different classes of errors as well. Being able to immediately hop from a usage to its declaration is convenient, going in the other direction is amazing.

Refactoring the signature, not just body, of a function and feeling confident that all usages have been updated to reflect the change even before you run the app is empowering. It lowers the bar to change and allows your code to evolve more quickly.

> For a senior developer; design problems are the real hard problems. The rest is minor stuff and we shouldn't spend all our effort on those.

Exactly why analysis of problems that computers can solve better than humans (ex: "Is variable fooBarXyz in scope here?") should be deferred to computers.

Conceptually I fear far more modern browsers+webapps tracing capabilities than DNS-based monitoring so for me that's nice but certainly non important. Sorry for being rude.
Because as I understand it, the US was largely aloof until Germany started pursuing atomic weapons and even then the Manhattan Project was done very secretively. So until Hitler started incarcerating millions of people and threatened all out war on Europe, the US wasn't really bothered all that much. So naturally Germany hits the headlines for the final 2 years of the war, and then Japan for a year because Pearl Harbour and Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings.
I don't have a Mac and maybe you've already tried this, but just in case, you can always do python2 -m pip install ... or python3 -m pip install ... to make sure it's running within that particular Python installation. You can use the --user flag to install to your user directory as well, if the system level is annoying.

All right. But is this an issue for an “Anti-Harassment Team”? I mean, there might be basic standard of decency which Debian should uphold, and this package might fail that standard and ought therefore be removed, but in that case, the Anti-Harassment Team should have nothing to do with this – this would be an issue for the whole of the Debian project to decide on what limits on basic decency to have.

Or, the over-sexualization present in the package is actually harassing some specific group, in which case the AHT would be perfectly correct to take issue with the package. But the argument here is rarely made explicit.

Fair enough. I assumed the parent's source was OP's article.
As I understand the actual reason, it’s mainly about the package being over-sexualized when the package itself has nothing to do with sexiness:

The irony, in my opinion, is that the modern world has become so safe that people have come to expect safety. If you get hurt or die young, something must be wrong. A safety measure must be missing or someone has wronged you. The "default state of being" is seen as living a long happy life and anything short of that is an error state.

But in reality the cosmos doesn't owe you a thing.

You seem to be confusing left/right with libertarian/authoritarian.
No, IMO. Don't get me wrong, Python 3 is a better language than Python 2. I just don't think it's that much better that it was worth breaking backwards compatibility and stalling the language for several years.

Python 3 did enough to break everyone's existing code, but nowhere near enough to make that worthwhile.

It's common for other language communities to consider the Python 2/3 transition as an example of "what not to do".
I think Python 3 primarily showed that breaking backwards incompatibility across an entire ecosystem is worse than one could have predicted. Even today Python 2 is far from dead.

On the other hand the core development team "outsourced" many of the issues that people actually want to have solved to the community like packaging and distribution.

Python's biggest downfall is a highly academic approach with slow release cycles which makes large feature development hard and detached from the real world. 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. There was no feedback loop that could have enabled Python to be UTF-8 based. It was released and then decisions were locked in.

Similar things happened in asyncio. New versions of it only land with every major version of the language which meant that a lot of asyncio only became really useful with 3.6 and 3.7 which was years after it was initially created.

I have very high hopes that the new leadership of the language will be able to tackle some of these problems. Python 3 is way less backwards incompatible to 2.7 now than it was 10 years ago. The two versions moved closer to each other and today it's pretty easy to support both from a single codebase. With faster iteration we might have been able to cut this time short by 5 years or more
I agree that there is certainly a US focus in the world, but you could frankly replace “US” with any G8 member or China, and everything you’ve listed would be true for me. It would also be true for all our Scandinavian neighbours.

I’m part of what you could fairly call the cultural elite of my country, and as such I’m not representative for every Dane, but knowing what goes on in important countries, is frankly part of being a small nation.

Anyway, that also means the US doesn’t dominate as much as you might think. Even with Trump, the most important countries in our news sphere much of this year have been Sweden (election), Germany (der mutti crisis and CDU chairman), France (reforms and later revolts), Russia (Putin being evil in a new way each month) and Britain (brexit).
Not free as far as I know, there is a points system though (have a 10 month old, loving in Japan with Japanese wife), that worries my wife a lot.

I don't know all the details but she is concerned we won't be able to get our son into a close enough child care to be able to return to work.

It's not a massive problem for us, as we can survive on one pay, but it's still a big worry.

As for support for young children, well the cost to have our son was quite high(compared to Australia - and this is purely subjective mind you, didn't really research it, just asked family members).

If anyone has any specific questions I can ask my wife and reply tomorrow (10pm here).
