There are over 300 replies in the discussion here (About Python 3): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6985207 From what I've gleaned from that discussion, here are reasons why people aren't moving from Python2 to Python3. These are in no particular order, other than I repeat the two you mention first.

1. Lack of library support (as you indicated). I'll confess to not paying careful enough attention to know what specific libraries are desired.

2. Lack of a big enough carrot. I think this is what you mean when you mention the GIL. After all, Python2 also has the GIL, so its presence in Python3 is not a reason not to upgrade; but its absence might be a big enough motivation for some people to upgrade. Other wanted features that I recall include JIT compilation and tail call optimization; but I probably didn't pay enough attention to specifics here, either.

3. A claim that Python3 is inferior for interactive use. One complaint is that print is no longer a statement, but I can't help but wonder if some people don't realize that if a variable or expression is entered in the REPL it is automatically printed (the P in REPL). The prevalence of iterators over lists is also cited in this space.

4. Byte strings don't work well for those who need them. The Mercurial folks had something interesting to say about this, but others had complaints too. Sometimes little things don't work: one poster mentioned that byte strings can't be used as a key to a shelve object, element selection can't be combined with concatenation, etc.

5. The mismatch between Unicode strings in Python3 and C strings in Unix-like operating systems. This one is the one I care about and is thus the direct answer to your question.

6. What I might call petty complaints, but won't lest people call my complaints petty: lack of print statement (I don't get it, but it was very popular), true division, etc.
How on earth did you get that from the article? Why does difference have to imply an ordering?
You are entirely wrong. It is a good idea that will never work.

Honest question: How does one send a Do Not Track header request to a mobile app? One does not interact with a mobile app via HTTP (although the app may use HTTP internally) and can therefore not send HTTP headers...

Or, is it in your opinion, a law written by someone who does not have sufficient technical understanding to find the correct wording, and now the law applies erroneously applies to mobile apps?
a bit of background about this tech (as understood by a non-physicist)

1. Take a big metal ball and surround it by a whole bunch of synchronized pistons

2. Fill said ball with molten metal

3. Fire a wave of plasma from both ends of the ball

4. Time the firing of the pistons so that the plasma and pressure wave from the pistons all meet in the center and create the conditions necessary for fusion to occur.

While it isn't yet proven, if this method works it would be quite a bit simpler than the other lines of research into fusion reactors which require massive arrays of magnets to suspend plasma and exotic materials that don't exist yet.

I have no idea if this is actually feasible, but it sure sounds cool!
You're right. It was probably a brute force since they don't have maximum login attempts. http://blogs.skype.com/wp-admin
I can recommend the "NoSquint" Firefox add-on that remembers your
preferred text size for each site:

My pet peeve on layout is when a page is multi-column, but each column is
taller than the viewing window, so the reader must scroll or page down in
each column, then go up for the next column, then down to the next page.

This issue often shows up in PDF versions of scientific journal papers.

Bonus points if a "page down" function operates on the source page
images rather than on the window view (iow, if repeated "page down"
only shows the top of each source page, rather than each visible
part of the viewing window.) Mouse-wheel scrolling helps, modulo
interface "features".
If you check PubMed, you'll see some.
How is our current state that different from anarchy? Do we actually have rule of law, not to mention anything resembling justice; or only up to the point where it becomes inconvenient for the powerful?

So it works marginally better for those aligned to power or operating in the shade of its inefficiencies; sure, but you could also say this about the world Mad Max drove around in..
The price will drop significantly when large scale production occurs. Large scale production will be limited until the legal risks are known and quantified. For the near future federal law will continue to expose investors to a significant risk of imprisonment.

However, expect the price to drop moderately as legal sales expand and small "mom & pop" grow operations are replaced by more efficient moderate sized operations that are willing to accept the risk and have the cash on hand needed to bootstrap.

My guess is that people in Colorado tend to be more libertarian. They don't want government interference, and at the same time they don't follow the religious culture in the deep south.
So intensely patent encumbered, then? :)

There's still significant risk in grow operations because it's still a federal crime. The Obama administration has chosen not to enforce that law for the time being, but that can change on a moment's notice, and is likely to change if a conservative attains office (which will probably happen in 2016). Furthermore, even when done legally, there is significant regulatory burden on a state-sanctioned grow.

You're correct that ultimately marijuana will probably be really cheap, but we have to wait for the rest of the drug enforcement apparatus to become irrelevant.

This happens in the stock market all the time. Generally what happens is buyers start challenging the sellers once the price drops enough.

I'm not saying a crash is impossible, but it's going to take a lot more than a lot of people selling to bring the perceived value down to 0. I think something like an exploitable flaw is a much more likely reason.
This is awesome! I wonder if this could be integrated with "I'm Feeling Lucky"? It would be good for most Google searches IMO.
The things you list are all to do with winding up with differences as adults. The item brought up in the article has to do with girls becoming adults earlier. Which is separate, but also important, since it is one of the facts that helps girls get into college at higher rates than boys. (A trend whose long-term impact is not yet felt.)

And earlier maturation is not simply cultural, because it is tied to the very physical maturation of hitting puberty. Which is a biological process, not a cultural one.

> Curious; what type of display were you reading on? How big is it? What was its resolution?
> Reading it on a 27" 2560x1440 display was really nice.

Same reaction as OP, same monitor dimensions (both resolution and physical size) as you. Head to screen distance is probably around 2 feet?
Such a simple feature to implement...
This is an incredibly astute observation, although I've seen the most flagrant forms of cheating/avarice from Indian and Asian students who are simply trying to avoid studying. Asian and Indian society instills a much stronger desire to succeed on paper than intellectually, and I observed this when TA'ing for a CS class comprised primarily of international students. Throughout the semester I was getting 10 - 30 emails a day regarding petty grading/exam issues, with the occasional email from someone asking a real question.
This makes me wonder: what are the current constraints on fusion reactors? I mean, I had heard that the problem is that the current reactors consume more energy than they produce. Is that the case or is it just not possible to get fusion in the laboratory?
I don't limit my scientific research to US Studies only since the political climate that controls funding is a very important factor. You might also want to research how the DEA and NIDA regularly hinder any applications for research showing the positive benefits of marijuana. I wouldn't equate lack of FDA studies as an indicator of marijuana's positive/negative effects.
...and a shitload of other drugs. While white people can get away with pretty much anything.
So there were some great points in there, all of which were valid. But immediately addressing those points doesn't mean using large type follows.

Side note: as monitors increase in size, I'm curious of the general population is increasing the distance between their eyes and the screen
When you're setting up an authoritarian state, one of the first things you do is try to silence dissenters. If/when this will start happening on a large scale in the US I don't know, but there's no denying the ground work has been laid. Easily accessible records of everyone who has privately or publicly expressed anti-government sentiment? Check. A constitution-free zone at the border? Check. Indefinite detention of US citizens without trial? Check. A militarized local police force. Check. A general population that has become desensitized to their loss of liberty like a frog slowly boiled to death. Check.

It's becoming more and more clear that the USG didn't set up all this infrastructure to fight terrorism. Forgive me for assuming the worst. I'm just connecting the dots.
Pipes freeze, solder cracks, valves deteriorate. And then there's rust. Adjoining apartments may have plumbing issues or leaks too, and at some point the plumber or landlord will need to get into the flat. This happens in new condos all of the time; why would a pre-war Paris apartment be any different?

It's an entertaining story, but certain elements are unlikely, the information presented has not been fact-checked, and other details are missing. And someone profited greatly from such a story being released.

Until more facts are presented, I'm going to remain skeptical.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it probably isn't moon-capable.

Trust and the NSA: Who can you trust?
This reminds me about how many people don't use domain names at all anymore. Many people probably type the name of their bank into the search bar and visit the first result. I've seen people literally pull up google to search for yahoo mail or ebay.

Domain names are still useful, for a start they provide some level of authentication when mixed with cryptography. (If you visit https://news.ycombinator.com, you can be relatively sure there is no MITM with certain conditions present).

It would be interesting to see how this system can be adapted to work with our current Internet infrastructure.

FWIW there's nothing in the Bible about throwing people in jail for alcohol (still baffled the US ever passed alcohol prohibition) or drugs. I'd argue against prohibition on Christian grounds as well as other grounds.
What was trending on HN (February 21, 2007)
You keep on editing your comment. I'm not sure what you want me to cite! You didn't originally mention the FDA. And either did xacaxulu!
Michael Hayden, former chief of NSA, recently said that the young people should give up on their "romanticized" idea of transparency (for the government). That's some irony for you, considering his NSA is the one that started going after "total information awareness", by collecting everything on everyone, and trying to kill privacy and anonymity worldwide.

Why isn't his idea "romanticized", too? Also, if anything, it's the governments that should have total transparency, not the citizens. They are the public people working on the interest of the public, and the public should be able to verify that what they're doing is in its interest. Instead, we see the opposite. They're trying to make every person an open book to them, while they're increasingly denying FOIA requests, to the point where even the police does it (NYPD especially).

That's not how it's supposed to work. Maybe Hayden and the others that think like him, should give up on the idea of "romanticized" tyranny, that they want to establish.
I don't consider getting access to a website via the most insecure blogging platform on the internet "hacking".

So? What does your straw man have to do with anything? He stated marijuana is scientifically proven to be beneficial. It hasn't. No successful clinical trials exist.
No, the same restrictions apply to class as to struct.
The most relevant difference in C++ is that the compiler can reorder data members that are in different visibility specifications (public, protected, private) but not within one of those blocks, to maintain compatibility with C.
The whole thread resonates quite strongly with me.
Many interesting points are made. I was just recently wondering whether I should pursue goals when engaging in activities I do for fun. Like you wrote, it is feels so corporation-ish but then again they seem to motivate us.

Another aspect, however, concerns motivation vs. commitment. When it comes to hobbies I am quite driven by motivation. Unfortunately, motivation often doesn't last long. That's why many people point out that commitment [doing something despite a momentary lack of motivation] > motivation.

And this gets me back to square one as commitment is something I rather associate with corporate culture than leisure time.
[Of course, you could make being commited x times a week a goal to get some satisfaction out of it but I doubt that would work for me. It probably also depends on the activity: I can commit myself to regular exercise but I can not force myself to sit down and write some music 3x/week]

This sort of 'market' could surely be used for many other use-cases.
You don't think that the expansion of the law to allow recreational use will change the usage patterns? I am really curious.
One downside of this is that you're using a secure one-way hashing function. This means that if for some reason you have the hashed url you can't get the clean one back.

You could use something something like base64 instead.. might work better but it would remove the ability to use files as domain names.

I "deactivated" my Facebook account long ago. I'd like to delete it, but that apparently involves sacrificing some small animal and studying the entrails for clues.

I deleted by Google+ account(s) recently, as well. I have several Twitter accounts with no tweets. I'm thinking of sanitizing my LinkedIn account soon.
