You're being downvoted but state subsidies are one of the largest concerns US/EU have with China, so it's a valid point.

Not to say that TikTok doesn't have any revenue at all, they have ads.
While I agree that Chinese soft imperialism is bad, I think it's tremendously funny that Americans are complaining about it now, after years of using military and economic power to enforce a similar imperialism everywhere.
Pretty much this.

I ran into a local store taking credit cards awhile back, no TLS, weird, so I go to the store owner in person. I explain the problem and he insists that can't be the case, he's mad at me. "See! It's got a lock on the website!"... on the homepage. I direct him to the store and now it says Not Secure.

That did more to explain the situation than my attempt at TLS and HTTPS and Certs. He was able to call his web guy and say "It says not secure, Jerry! Fix it".

It was such a simple addition to (at least in Firefox) use the words Not Secure that it's crazy no one thought of it before.

There was a lot of contention with this at first, but the Navy decided their first carrier based UAV / UAS would be a tanker to simply extend the range of their existing fighter / bomber fleet instead of outright replacing it. This seems to be a very good move as it simply lengthens to the reach of the existing airpower.
If Google wants to be successful in the devices segment, they should first try to release appealing products.

I am currently in the market for a better phone, and had high hopes in the Pixel 4. Sadly, the reviews about the battery life will make it a pass. For a giant company like Google, this seems like a major mistake you can not afford to make given the level of the competition.
How was it a fiasco? The old version was supported for free for what, a decade? Usage of python is skyrocketing. I don’t know anyone who honestly prefer 2 over 3. The number of python packages released in one year now is probably higher than that of all years combined up to the release of python 3.

The process was not perfect, but in my book it’s a success.

People have done this work for you and the market is the indicator. The better item is the one that depreciates less, with caveats.

One strategy is to check ebay to see how close second-hand prices are to retail price. It doesn't work with everything -- electronics are especially bad with this indicator -- but pretty good for physical items.

"Money of exchange" is, yes. And as I said, that is what economists are talking about when they talk about money replacing barter because it solves the double coincidence of wants problem. Money replacing barter has nothing to do with debt.
Yeah, I consider myself an advanced & "bought in"python programmer, but recently I've been dabbling in VSCode + Typescript and it is truly amazing how much more confident I am in the things I create, when I'm careful to use the type system and things like Union Types to my advantage.

Python typing still lags behind, and my python code is the scarier for it.

Also -- one gamechanger for me has been the addition of an IDE as the go-to environment for programming in strongly typed languages... having an IDE that "gets" the language you're coding in, and its types, has allowed me to eschew a huge number of my "todo" statements altogether -- as I'll add a signature / typename where I'm going to use it, and the compiler won't let you do anything until you've actually done what you asserted you were going to do.
The 3.x releases _are nothing like_ the 3.0 release. You have a valid complaint about the 3.0 release, which was 11 years ago. If you've not tried updating from 3.x to 3.y — which is a very different process — then you have no stake in this change.
> Maxwell's location is currently unknown. Motherboard viewed what’s believed to be Maxwell’s private Instagram account, which last posted a photo in April 2017. A strange photo of Maxwell surfaced in August, showing her having a burger and milkshake at a fast-food joint in California, while reading a book on the CIA. Recent reports place Maxwell in Brazil, hiding out of public sight with another alleged Epstein associate. The lawyer of one of her accusers says she has disappeared and gone into hiding.

You'd think that the all-seeing panopticon that's been constructed to track everyone's movements at all times would be useful for finding Maxwell. Isn't one of the supposed selling points for this total surveillance that it will help catch child predators?

> nothing to do with scrum and agile.

Well, I know what you’re trying to say, and technically, you’re correct - if any shred of the agile manifesto were observed, you would be actually correct, too - but “agile as practiced by everybody who practices it” is, for all intents and purposes, “agile and scrum” now, so we may as well stop pretending it’s in any way related to what it was supposed to be. Once the phrase “agile” got some mindshare, it was bastardized and twisted into the unholy abomination that we suffer today: that is, the exact same thing that came before it. If somebody were to come along and put together a perfect, workable, realistic, livable, maintainable, achievable software development methodology - say, the “pwrlma” method - it would be twisted back into what “agile and scrum” are today by the same people who can only reason by analogy. Software will always be managed as if it were a building construction effort and programmers will always be treated as slightly more educated bricklayers.
Oh I completely acknowledge that. This is less about Python and more "fast moving platform" vs "slow moving platform".
It involves symbolic manipulation, but it’s more than that. Math is the science of method. Science requires reason.

If one were to say computers do math, they would be saying computers reason. Reason requires free will. Only man can reason; machines cannot reason. (For a full explanation of the relationship between free will and reason, see the book Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology).

Man does math, then creates a machine as a tool to manipulate symbols.
I use bspwm splits, tmux splits and vim splits simultaneously on up to three monitors. I would recommend to create keybindings for split rotation, clockwise and counterclockwise.
If that doesn't work, there's also the argument that "credit card providers require it, and could stop you from taking credit cards until you fix it".
How valuable is the brand these days? It's certainly already declining, and many people consider their products inferior quality. I am currently wearing a fitbit and have already had to deal with it not working twice today, and it's not even noon.

It was a fiasco because it wasn't possible (until much later) to support both Python 2 and Python 3 in the same code base. This made for a gridlock between dependencies and users.

despite what you've heard, it's actually the employer, not the employees who have all the power. this is simply due to the oversupply of labor. when you have 1000s of people line up to take any one person's job, then if that 1 person quits it doesn't make any impact at all.

Except in the minds of absolutely every single person who applies them to anything.
I think this is definitely a bit of self-selection.

I find phone calls are still better for conducting complex business - not everything can (or should) be scripted using a form, and a phone call sometimes is much more efficient than chat or email.

Video chat would be even better in some cases, but there's no standardized infrastructure for this. And even then, outside a corporate environment that has dedicated video conferencing rooms on both ends of the call, a phone call is often simpler.
Go on.

Linux was already used heavily long before "cloud" computing became a coined term. Not just for cheap hosting providers either, in the early 00s Linux dominated the 500 super computers. I also remember repairing an enterprise satellite box in 2002 which ran Linux.

You're right that those law suits were settled long before Linux gained momentum though. FreeBSD and NetBSD were released after Linux and their predecessor (386BSD) is very approximately as old as Linux (work started on it long before Linux but it's first release was after Linux). As far as I can recall, 386BSD wasn't targeted by lawsuits.

Also wasn't BSD used heavily by local ISPs in the 90s?

In any case, I think Linux's success was more down to it being a "hacker" OS. People would tinker with it for fun in ways people didn't with BSD. Then those people eventually got decision making jobs and stuck with Linux because that's where their experience was. So if anything, Linux "won" not because it was "better" than BSD on a technical level but likely because it was "worse" which lead to it becoming more of a fun project to play with.

That's the point that mozilla name their signing-disabled firefox as 'unbranded'.

So hackers can't just download the signing-disabled firefox and replace your firefox with it.

The hacker can probably still compile one by their own, but at least it will makes them pain in the ass.
It's the paradox of the heap. Should Python 2.6 be considered a different language than Python 2.7? What about Python 1.6 and Python 2.0? Perl 5 and Perl 6? What's the exact amount of changes necessary to switch between "new version of the same language" and "new language"? You might thing that the answer is "breaking changes", but every change breaks someone's workflow (https://xkcd.com/1172/), and even a minor release like Python 2.7.9 had some breaking changes (and yet it's widely considered the same language as Python 2.7.8).
I agree with everything you have said, as well as everything the OP said. I just think we do need to really sit down and figure out the 'basics' of a UBI. I really like the concept of the Yang style $1,000 UBI as a starting point to essentially take the edge off of basic existence.

Read the article, which covers the over and unders quite well.

For those of us with long memories, it's not that different from the great migration from Perl to Python (i.e., Python2). Although Python2 and Python3 are more similar, they are definitely two different languages, and porting a project to a new language should not be undertaken without due consideration.

I absolutely agree with this sentiment and seeing Python move further and further from "There should be one obvious way to do it" scares me.

I totally get why you'd want a language with async iterators and typings and why you'd want a language with easy data science interop and easy CPU - I am just not sure they should be the same language and I think it should be possible to learn how to do one (e.g. data science) without the other (high throughput async programming, typings etc).

I really hope the smart people behind the helm have the foresight to discuss the implications of language size. As someone involved in the process in JavaScript both as Node core and as an individual this deeply concerns me there as well.
Update on per Country Cap Bill (S.386)
C and C++ are radically different that is not an accurate comparison. Python 3 has many minor breaking changes and few bigger changes. Most huge codebases that support 3 have huge amount of support code that makes it compatible with 2. Probably 80% of the changes in 3 could've been done in an backwards-compatible way, but they actively chose not to.

I'm still surprised that python survived it, the update was so incompetently done. Just the huge amount of wasted developer resources on this mostly unnecessary update is staggering.
I can imagine that it would not take long until someone comes up with patterns which are innocent in one orientation and malicious with a ±90 deg. rotation...
