Please don't overlook the more valid point: Simply uniformly distributing a portion of the passive interest on the wealth of the top 1% globally would suffice to eliminate the most brutal poverty worldwide.
It does not seem like a stretch to expand the definition of mental illness to include mental conditions which predispose to the commission of violent crimes. Certainly such conditions are maladaptive for the sufferer.
Part of a spectrum from MEMs through pacemaker batteries, Cassini-style RTG, pebble-bed reactors, up to massive GE/Siemens style LWRs. It's a remarkably scalable tech, both up- and down- scale.
It is however an argument for enabling Signal to work well on, e.g. CopperheadOS. The patches moxie requested for bypassing Play services would help in this regard.
That's fine for the mass market, but their lives don't typically depend on the security of their communications. For people who are targeted by bad guys (extortionists, kidnappers, terrorists) a considerably higher bar is appropriate. It is important that people should be aware of the risks they are exposing themselves to, and the fine article is a good step in that direction. Hopefully it can also help stimulate improvements in the landscape which ultimately save lives.
I think the author's point was not that python3 is dying. His point was that it deserved death, that 2.7 is flourishing, while 3 is failing to thrive, and reasons for this were postulated.
Voters did not authorize Smoot-Hawley or the confiscation of gold or the disregard of the money Clause of the Constitution. That was accomplished by incompetents, criminals and traitors occupying political office. It occurred about the same time that voters in Germany elected Hitler Chancellor, and about the same time that passports were institutionalzed, to prevent freedom of movement. The 19th century abolished slavery. The 20th century re-imposed it, and made it universal, creating the public-private complex which owns our labor today.
2.7 does Unicode quite well. Not as well as it should, certainly, but arguably better than 3.3 did. I haven't played with anything since, and given the long history of this project going off the rails, I will require some serious convincing before I waste more time in it.
Yes I do multilingual string processing a LOT. I worked in SMT for about 3 years. Python 2.7 was the only practical option.
Python 3 does not fix the GIL. That would be enough to get me interested again.
Definitely disagree. I am a literal genius, wrote compilers, learned a dozen programming languages for fun, but prefer to do hard things. Yes p2 handling of coding is broken, but p3 is much worse. Making a theoretical argument about a pragmatic problem is a category mistake. And it's not even the core of Zed's expressed concern, which is the arrogant and abusive manipulation of the user community in service of the interests of self-obsessed project.
choosing zcrash has to be pretty punitive for your users, given the rate of price inflation. For that matter, it must be pretty punitive for you as well.
They have played Christians for a long time, but I suspect they have also over-played their hand, and are losing that support base, mostly via war, corruption, and generally taking the Christians for granted while completely disregarding their core issues, justice, mercy, compassion, &c.
I may not have liked him, but I thought he was a more viable candidate than Clinton or Sanders. Certainly less intrinsically offensive than Clinton, who was a truly awful candidate.
