> EDIT: The lack of block scoped variable thing does seem like a wart right enough.

This is not specific to "match" statement, but is a general issue in Python. And thus, needs to have a general solution, orthogonal to pattern matching. Are you interested? Please post to the python-ideas mailing list.
I think this is key. When Amazon becomes widely known as untrustworthy, then it will fail and fail quickly. There is already a _lot_ of counterfeiting on Amazon, and a lot of people avoid it for anything safety critical or areas where it is most prevalent. If that becomes more widely known and widely practiced, it would make a dent. Small places naturally verify their stock. Amazon doesn't.

The TV Calendar is monetised using Google Adsense. As part of Googles drive to be more advertiser friendly (you may know this as the Adpocalyse - it didn't just affect Youtubers) their system is now telling me the Calendar has SHOCKING CONTENT on it, and that ads will be removed from such pages.

In this particular case, the media supporting the government are subsidized with public money. This happens two ways:

1. through advertisements of national companies put in selected media outlets

2. through direct ownership. The largest national company - Orlen - purchased a large set of local publishers "Polska Press".

Effectively, the new tax will be a burden only to the media that do not support the government.

> On the other hand, having a royal family it cute -- doesn't that count for something :)

You might probably buy far more and far better distributed amount of cuteness without a royal family.

> A revolution like the French isn't free or without risks. Paying off the monarchy for generations to come is quite possibly cheaper.

Nothing is without cost and risk. Keeping a royal family includes a cost and it rise the risk inherent with any concentrated political/wealth power. It is not absolutely safer on all regard to go for a different kind of government of course, it’s a different trade-off.

>A revolution would have incurred negative growth, and it's entirely possible that our economy would have been marginally smaller today, had we opted for a violent revolution.

First, one might be willing to destitute royal caste from its privileges without willing to shedding blood and make widespread violence arise. The question is, if the people decide by means of a referendum to get rid of privileges, will the privileged few accept without trying to use violence to maintain their position?

Actually in France, they are several pretender to the throne[1]. It’s just that virtually nobody care.

>Would be fun to see if anyone did that math? :)

Maths on what? Societies are complex systems with many parameters whose evolution is subject to the butterfly effect. You can throw numbers in-between to decorate any thesis you would like to defend, it doesn’t give it any meaningful scientific credibility.

> Just look to Syria, paying Assad an absurd amount of money to take a ceremonial role would probably have been a lot cheaper, and less risky.

You say that like there was some kind of strictly internal consensus in the people of Syria to go for what happened rather than paying Assad. That sounds like an absurdly simplistic exposition of reality.

What did you make of the debacle of the Fixed Term Parliament Act and the government being left unable to call a General Election in 2019 because of it?

Supposedly it removed the power of the Queen to dissolve parliament.

Lots of British people, me included, were deeply alarmed by it. Parliament was essentially rogue.
"(Reuters) - Apple Inc has a 'clear opportunity' to offer a buying and selling mechanism for cryptocurrencies, a move that would allow the company to immediately gain market share, according to a research report on Monday from RBC Capital Markets.

With its access to world-class software and a secure ecosystem, Apple could tackle the problem individuals face acquiring crypto assets due to know-your-customer laws and other regulations with the company offering a closed system that prevents nefarious activity, improves asset security, and has instant access to buyers and sellers, the report said."
iirc it was Mozilla who put the nail in the coffin of WebSQL and if you read this post, it actually mentions that Chrome was the last browser to even still support the feature after it had been abandoned by Firefox and Opera already. What does this have to do with Google owning Chrome?

I am actually a bit more optimistic that the iron grip over email might be attacked from an unexpected direction. A lot of political parities over the world depend on email to operate internally, and the power demonstrated recently by cloud providers in the last few months are making people scared. It only take some publicity and some badly timed bans/lockouts from google before that risk seems much more real again.
hey @realityballss, don't really know as I'm not too deep in the SOCI stuff.
but we offer full support to SOCI meaning if these folks: https://github.com/SOCI/soci support it and the dependencies exist and work for 32bit, than yes.
I'd say it looks a bit like a long shot, but may work.
> It would make even more sense for Python not to adopt language features that can't be made to behave consistently with the language's existing syntax and semantics

Current match behavior is consistent with existing syntax and semantics.

And no, not adopting new features known to be generally useful across programming languages is not "better". Instead, better to continue elaborating the language even after the initial pattern matching support is added.

The citizenship affirmation for British citizenship [0] is:

I (name) do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that on becoming a British Citizen, I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, her Heirs and Successors, according to law

After which the citizen is issued a passport by Her Majesty’s Passport Office.

If we compare and contrast with America, nobody needed to swear allegiance to Trump at the border. They let in a bunch of people who would have actively and publicly wanted him gone. One of these two countries is pretending that birth literally should confer special privileges.

I disagree with everything you said because your tone is just wrong. Old APIs don't remove the need for new ones. New APIs don't remove the need for old ones. The existence of one API does not prevent the existence of another API. Phrasing this as an us vs them problem will just waste your time and fail to convince everyone else. Instead of telling everyone how wrong they are you should convince them how great the new thing is.

ehh article agrees. It was the government that accommodated the queen.

I think it’s more that you don’t want your ad to show up on a page about rape, but you’re fine with it showing up on a page about joy. Coca-Cola works hard to associate their brand with happy experiences. They’d probably take out ads on the positive words in a dictionary but not the negative ones. If this site was making no distinction, it would lose Coca-Cola as a sponsor. Not really defending Google, but the puritanical explanation isn’t the best one.

Exactly, Elixir is usually the only example given. So, how it makes sense to blame Python here is unclear. There's a proposal to add similar "sigils" to Python pattern matching, it just didn't make it yet.

Hi;

It is hard to admit our limitations, isn't it?
But I must admit that I cannot bring this product to life on my own. Most people would just drop the product & move on, maybe that is wise.....but maybe asking for help is wise too.
I saw first hand how much 'micro-businessmen' suffer when using a PC, which is weird because they are perfectly comfortable with mobile phones. They are always on-the-move, and most of them are not that good with computers....how then can we expect them to use QuickBooks or a spreadsheet on a regular basis.
Maybe there is a better way for that micro-business to invoice customers without hiring someone to sit down & issue invoices all day?

What if you can issue an invoice automatically while you are chatting with clients on WhatsApp, Email or any messaging app!
What if you can say (out loud) "invoice Mr. carlin $500 for this service" and an invoice will be generated automatically!
What if the invoice was a simple jpg picture is easy to work with'!
What if there were a 'link' that is automatically generated with the jpg for your client to approve & pay the invoice!
What if all of that was 100% free to do.

Q: You may have understood what I envision here, but are thinking that it is hard to build?
A: Absolutely not. I have built an alpha myself without writing a single code. And I almost finished with the beta with a team of 2 junior developers, if only they were hard-working enough.

Q: If it's free how will the startup survive, the bubble of zero profit startups is bursting afterall!?
A: Instead of charging those poor micro-businesses a $100/year & having more friction for adoption, we can earn a commission on the payments processed through the app. We don't even have to build the tech, we can just partner with PayPal. Our niche has a revenue of ~$200k/year, our commission on that will surely be more than $100.

Q: What will the name of the startup be?
A: UoMe, as in You Owe Me, cool isn't it?!

The author assumes that disregard of nano as inferior and not up to the daily task is somehow "elitist". It reads as though the author has been personally afflicted by its lack of use, which seems like a strange stance to hold.

I'm not required to like, laud, or advocate for every piece of software. Conversely, I'm allowed to not like things as well.

I didn't know it had these features, sure. But... so what? I don't use nano, I don't like when things default to it as an editor, and I'd rather not have it on my system because it's just extra bytes used up on my disk.

If that makes me elitist, then so be it.

The final build would probably have failed (on a build server using CI). But when developing locally I think package.json wins over the lock file (? at least often the lockfile is updated after doing an npm install here).

So this probably wouldn't show up on the final build distributed and deployed somewhere. But it did manage to run arbitrary code on developers' machines of those companies.
This does not excuse or allow the frequent and extreme violence that is perpetrated by police on unarmed citizens, which is the reason they feel the need to document their experiences with officers.

It was a violent encounter with police officers that led to the proposal that they wear body cameras (https://www.wired.com/story/body-cameras-stopped-police-brut...)

Even with the use of them, the release of them is often blocked or their existence is denied.

From the above article: " In Baltimore three years ago, one of the devices caught a police officer as he planted drugs at a crime scene; he was later convicted for fabricating evidence. After Rayshard Brooks was fatally shot by a cop in Atlanta on Friday, body cam footage of the incident was quickly released, and the officer was fired. "
Indeed. The Dutch are good with water, but not with climate. May be due to lobbying power of Shell, NAM (natural gas) and Rotterdam harbour, Schiphol airport, Tata Steel, etc. on subsequent economic liberal governments, and also 'Polder model' [0] slowing / watering things down.

There are a lot of expensive things you can outsource. Responsibility isn't among those.

Free software / open source propels engineering as you can share and leverage the results of collective efforts. However, at no point did the concept come with inherent guarantees about concerns such as security.

esr defined 19 points for "good" open source software development in his seminal essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar". I feel some of those are sometimes easily thrown out of the window for the sake of "efficiency" or "cost-effectiveness".

This issue resonates with bullet point 17 in particular:

> A security system is only as secure as its secret. Beware of pseudo-secrets.

I think this issue has less to do with package managers, and a lot with companies rushing into the convenience of public code platforms such as Github without properly vetting whether or not they might be inadvertently leaking internal information through packaging manifests.

I'm surprised the reverse fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) model used by Java isn't more widely adopted. If you want to upload artifacts to the main repository (Maven Central) you first need to show ownership of a particular domain. For example, via a DNS TXT record (example [1]). Would make these kind of attacks a lot more difficult.

I would hope most SSH keys are password-encrypted if not protected by a hardware token like yours, but I agree that the "unscoped-source" Gemfile syntax is a huge vulnerable hole, and a bad one. I'm just confused about how what seems like a pretty uncommon operation led to such an immediate response and code execution from Shopify.

(I also don't think it's true that the attacker has a "small window of time"—as soon as they get a single RCE, it's over, if they're running on a normal dev machine then they can daemonize into the background, add persistence, and snoop events over time. CI systems are obviously less vulnerable to this by nature.)

-Living in Norway, whose monarchy is basically reduced to being on hand for when we need someone to officially open a new bridge to nowhere or provide apolitical statements in time of need, I am a pragmatic monarchist.

In the sense that keeping the royals around probably is cheaper and creating less fuss than becoming a republic. Precisely as the monarch is not elected, there is (the odd left fringe aside) very little controversy to be had.

Rather than electing a president (which, of course, will lead to a fraction of the population seeing their candidate lose), we've got our (ceremonial) head of state and everybody just deals with it. The monarch is very much aware that the survival of the institution he represents relies on him being apolitical and not attempting to boss parliament around.

Heck, the grandfather of the current monarch even won over a lot of the left when pointing out (in the late 1920s sometime) that he was the king of the communists, too - not just the bourgeousie, and asked the head of the labour party to form a government when election results indicated that was what the electorate wanted - despite attempts from the establishment to have him appoint anybody but the election winners.

Basically, as long as the royal family are as well behaved as they mostly are, they are probably cheaper and less controversial than any alternative. (While still being outrageously undemocratic, of course).

The main argument for abolishing monarchy around here probably is on humanitarian grounds - basically, it is hardly fair to have one's life cut out for oneself from birth?
That's a ridiculous jump to conclusion.
