Yes, it's well established that sane people are routinely labelled as insane when it suits the predispositions of the accusers.

Even more interesting is those that are clearly insane who are never institutionalized. For example, not too long ago there was a man who authorized the vaporizing using nuclear bombs of two Japanese cities consisting of almost entirely civilian targets. If that's not pure insanity what is? Along with all his advisors. Yet rather than acknowledge that this man was clearly a deranged madman, the preponderance of the public celebrates him as a hero and call his critics mad. Leaving no possible conclusion other than that most of the public is mad.

What treatment is possible for madness? None that has been demonstrated. Is mental health treatment a myth? Yes. Is insanity caused by chemical imbalances in the brain? Perhaps, though there is no evidence whatsoever supporting this claim. Are those that continue to promote this hypothesis as fact insane as well? No doubt some of them are.

Worst Nuclear Accident in History Turned into Something Nobody Expected
Facebook currently enjoys essentially the same legal protection from liability arising from the content as do post and telephone companies (this is known as "common carriage"). The legal reasoning for such protection is that common carriers do not look into content of what they ship or transmit and merely provide a content-neutral service for the public.

This protection should not apply to the corporations which do exercise editorial control (or, as it happens, de-facto censorship) over the content they transmit, since they're no longer common carriers but rather publishers.

And, of course, the government is already heavily involved with Facebook - just not overtly but in the worst clandestine and unaccountable way imaginable. Anyone who thinks a company executive is going to deny anything spooks ask for is rather naive.

This is entirely anecdotal, but my experience has been that many people espouse the speed of Python development when in fact they put out sloppy, non-production ready code that needs a ton of extra review, effort, and sprints to get up to snuff. I often find myself producing higher quality, production ready Python code than those who cling to it like a safety blanket and complain non-stop about how "slow" languages like C#, Go, and TypeScript make them.

On top of that, I believe that I am able to produce production ready code in other languages even faster than Python! Particularly when it comes to doing refactors for exploratory architecture in early POC/MVP; love the tooling assists so I'm not drowning in "is not a functions" and other dumb stuff while I'm working on hammering out interfaces, abstractions, and other structure.

Granted, I have almost certainly not worked with the best Python programmers, or the best programmers that happen to only use Python to put it another way. But looking at Python itself, the languishing ecosystem and stdlib, and every large OSS Python project, what does that even look like?!

So, I would say that yes it has a lot to do with familiarity and comfort... I'm very suspicious of people who insist on using Python and have little familiarity with anything else.

Somewhat in my defense, although I've seen a few clips with Rogan, I'm not very familiar with him. I agree with the GP's comment, I thought the real Joe Rogan reading ads sounded very staccato and robotic. Near the end I got a little better with the "OK, robotic sounding Joe is the real one."

That said, I'm an introvert and I don't enjoy social situations with people I don't know, so while perhaps not a psychopath it's plausible the my poor ability to infer emotional intonation is at play both here and in social situations.

I think he was probably frustrated by Python 2 support. If twisted has 50% userbase in Python 2 that don't upgrade and requiring more volunteer time on Python 2 just handcuffs language development on Python 3. Python 2 has been deprecated for long time and if people still want free Python 2 support I think it's just indigenous to the language contributors to spend their already constraint free time on Python 2.

Sometimes I think complicated shell scripting is just some weird form of vanity. By making something simple look utterly incomprehensible some people think they're looking really clever to their colleagues (when in reality they're just annoying the hell out of them.) It's the same urge that spawns bizarre C++ template meta-programming and macros that are more complicated than the problem they're solving. I don't mind those things when people just admit they were bored or doing it for laughs, but the number of people that do those things with no sense of irony is way more than I'd care to really think about.
> the coding style used seems to lend strongly towards not thinking an error is possible

So does every tutorial which doesn't check the return from printf or check for errors from cout. Did you notice that the parent and child are both writing to the same file descriptor? Maybe the writer should add some words and tests in his code about the inherent race condition there. A true pedant would push this even further and teach their audience how to eliminate this problem with cross process mutexes or semaphores. Better be sure to check the error codes on those calls too.

I know arguing with a pedant is like wrestling with a pig, but honestly I'm more offended by the "#define N 2" than by the lack of error checking.

Because pensions are guaranteed benefits. So if you put it on a bond, and the bond goes down, you need to draw more taxes to make the difference.

Pensions are partially the outcome of wishful result-oriented thinking ("workers should have pensions they can depend on, so make the promise first and then the solution will happen").

You totally missed the joke.
Thanks for illustrating how some people still completely miss the point. We are discussing the overhead of forking processes to do math, which Python doesn't have to do.

You're making a false equivalence like "there is slow arithmetic on both sides". No: one side is astronomically slow, requiring millions of instructions, the other side is tolerably slow, requiring hundreds of instructions. There is no comparison.

Again, this isn't about Python. That's just an example. It's about forking or not forking. You know, the topic of this thread.

If you like, I could translate my Python argument to JavaScript, and you could explain how a bash JIT compiler could optimize out all the instructions necessary to fork "bc" to call the cos instruction.

Let me head you off at the pass before you ask "Why would I ever want to calculate a cosine in a bash script?" when you should be asking "Why would I ever want to use a language that doesn't let me calculate a cosine? Or even draw a circle?"

To illustrate my point: Perhaps you want to write a script that draws a pie chart to illustrate your disk space. That's a typical sysadminy scripty thing to do, right?

With bash, you'd have to call out to many other processes to do that. Why is that? Tell me why hasn't anyone come up with a way to draw like the canvas API in bash, without forking off dozens if not thousands of processes?

Don't you think floating point would be useful for calculating disk space usage more accurately than integer percentages, and the canvas api would be useful for drawing pie charts?

If you think you'd never need to do something like that in bash, then you have an enormous blind spot from bash tragically lowering your expectations, imagination, and productivity as a programmer.

Because bash can't even perform the simplest APPLESOFT BASIC floating point math operations or HGR hires graphics HPLOT drawing commands.

So you would first have to fork off to one process to multiply and add a few numbers and calculate a cosine, and then you'd have to fork off to another process to multiply and add a few numbers and calculate a sin (because "bc" can only return one result at a time, thank you). Then you would have to pass those numbers to another program to draw them, probably with a here-file, some loops, a bunch of variable substitutions, temporary variables, intermediate files, lots and lots of string concatenation, converting back and forth between binary floating point numbers and strings, all meticulously decorated with a phalanx of quotes, escapes, double and triple backslashes, back-ticks, colons and exclamation marks before single character codes, and double secret parenthesis.
> That's why police gather all kinds of evidence and present it to a jury.

There was no jury evaluating evidence and deciding guilt or innocence in this case. There was also no case. Only a proclamation of guilt against a man who died long ago and had no ability to defend himself, no defense attorney assigned, no arguments made before a jury whatsoever. The only "forensic" evidence made by some dodgy startup pushing this story to sell their "services".

That's not justice at all. It's not even a caricature of justice. It's complete and absolute nonsense. Holding this up as an example of a done guilty man found is an atrocity and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed.

> Thanks for illustrating how some people still completely miss the point.

You're being feisty, whatever.

> We are discussing the overhead of forking processes to do math, which Python doesn't have to do.

Python uses dynamic dispatch on boxed types for every single operation. You're right this /only/ takes hundreds of instructions, but that just shows my analogy is appropriate. That's the turtle, in case you didn't understand it. I think it's silly for you to say this is "tolerably slow" for anyone but yourself. For other people, a fork per operation is completely tolerable. (I'm not one of those people...)

> [...] explain how a bash JIT compiler could optimize out all the instructions necessary to fork "bc" to call the cos instruction.

If anyone cared, bash could implement "bc" as a builtin the same way it does "echo". That'd be ugly, but it seems like the kind of thing the GNU folks would do if it was a common enough use case.
So I'm guessing their chosen lede isn't very accurate?
