1. Uses idiotic control structures based on white space which greatly impedes vision impaired folks from using it. Plus, screw telling me how to format my code. That's a style issue.
2. Python3 performance is mostly inferior. Look how it performs even versus PHP (which Python coders seem to feel superior to - but they both suck).
3. Python leadership seems more concerned with SJW issues than coding. That's the perception when folks see shit like this.
4. The "feature" to mix spaces and tabs causes hella confusion around whether one white space or one tab is a bigger indent.
5. Coding in Python often requires hanging out with Python coders who are often myopic, technically underweight, and generally inexperienced and annoying.
Save yourself some heartache, don't worry about the SJW issues in Python, and pick a superior language. There is a long list to choose from.
Pythons everywhere scream in agony and offense at your unfair characterization of them. How do you know they will be charmed? Is a Python the same as a Cobra? No. You sir, are trying to cobratize all pythons. Expect the SJW police to show up at your door any moment!
I agree. When foreign corporations and content owners give the EU a giant middle finger, they will be on the hook to try and suppress the content. Good luck with that. They'll end up looking as bad or worse than China. There's also the uncomfortable fact most content worth fuck-all is in the USA (FYI, we invented the fucking Internet, World). So, if the EU decided to build a giant firewall, they'd basically just be firewalling off a bunch of content leeches. I don't remember the last time I found a useful fact on a server with a EU based TLD. The shows on Netflix produced in the EU all suck dog balls. Of course they want to tax the stuff made in the USA. That's where the good shit is at that people actually want. It's going to be interesting to watch them cut off their nose to spite their face.
The schadenfreude is strong. I'm having real difficulty feeling sorry for the people who are going to be the most upset about this: Politicians and celebrities. I'm a little worried someone might try to use the tech to start a war, but ask me to spend one microsecond feeling sorry for some celebrity for being pasted onto a porn star, and I'm failing utterly.
Nah, I just accepted a much better job that paid more and gave me an office, and I left the stinky foreigners and ugly women to sort it out on their own. Just FYI since you are hating I figured I'd give you more fuel for your SJW fire. Worst of all, I'm a white male! Oh, the humanity!
Gimme a break. Use paper. Computers will be better tools for tabulating and processing the votes after they are cast, but it's tough to beat paper for a recount. Even paper has it's flaws, but the hand waving crypto-bullshit is pathetic "Oh but this counter signature will detect if the previous initialization vector was properly zeroed inside of the S-Box" *rolls eyes*. KISS baby. Things don't get more secure by making them more complex and I can't think of any way to make something more complex than to introduce computers. Computers are great at some things, ideal for some tasks: not for voting. They suck at that.
I've quit one job and refused two others because of open offices. The two I refused were absolutely flabbergasted by my refusal. They literally could not understand why anyone wouldn't want to be in an open office space surrounded on 3.8 sides by glass-walled manager offices, loud ugly marketing girls, and a bunch of H1B dudes who couldn't be bothered to wear deodorant. That place (MX Logic) had the worst looking office I've ever seen. One of them offered me the job on the spot after the interview and I was already shutting them down and refusing it before they even got started. I told them there is about a zero percent chance of getting anyone really talented to take the gig, because they had this ridiculous noisy slave pit thing going. I nearly left before I even *did* the interview I was so disgusted with the place. The hiring manager was (of course) offended, but he was also clueless. About a year after that interview I had a guy come up to me at the local Maker Space who was one of the "technical resources" for the company during the interview (quiet guy in the back of the room). He told me "My god was I cheering when you refused them over the goddamn open workspace idiocy. My boss was upset over that for weeks. They still talk about it during the hiring process and argue about it."
Local exploits are a lot harder to pull off than remote exploits. The primary gatekeeper of the worlds IT device is Secure Shell. I just have one simple question: If this shit is so catastrophic and bad like we've been hearing, then where the fuck are the OpenSSH remote root exploits? Bullshit flag thrown. Now point me to the exploit code that returns a root prompt and I'll drink your security Chicken Little kool-aid. Until then *yawn*.
Every dirtbag skeevy recruiter call I get that from the New Jersey Indians confirms it. New Jersey might as well be a province of India. So, here's me out in flyover country gleefully not giving a flying fuck about property values for Indian recruiters & a small number of rich investment bankers who live close to NYC. Guess it's going to be harder for you to sell your home in LA or Jersey and move out to flyover country like I know you want to and are going to try, eh? I'm starting to think this Climate Change thing is going to rock! Meanwhile flyover country house prices are rising. Winners and losers, baby. Go back to India and buy a house there, maybe?
I studied computer science. I had a lot of difficult math classes and if you didn't do your homework you'd fail. Period. Nobody could just go to the math lab, take the test, and leave. Nobody could pass the classes without some pretty serious time-sink. That means I put 4-8 hours a night into studying so I could get decent grades and GTFO of academia (which I hate with a passion). Meanwhile, all these assholes who were taking History, Sociology, and PolySci were doing basically zero homework. They were chasing the sorority women. It's bad enough that the business-major weasels are now my bosses, but the rest of those easy-major assholes pretty much became teachers. Now they are bitching about their low pay and bad jobs. Well, guess what? You took the stupid-easy party-major in school and I have absolutely categorically fucking ZERO sympathy for you. No. You don't get a fucking pay raise on the backs of taxpayers. No. You don't get a pension. Save your money in a 401k like the rest of us (or not, I don't care). I will NEVER vote to increase funding for teachers or cops and their crooked unions. Stay in the slow lane you lazy bunch of whiners. Hope the fun you had in college was worth it, now you get to live with the consequences. Don't like it? You can always go back to school and study harder topics. No? Then stay in your lane.
How exactly do you propose to fix the "They shouldn't be eating as much meat..." problem? Go all militant vegan in Texas? Good luck with that and your dividend plan. You left one variable out of your calculations: human nature.
That's not true. Try putting a sysV init script into/etc/init.d then backlinking it to a runlevel. Ooops! That doesn't fucking work right did it systemd Lennart fanboy? Oh wait, you didn't try so you don't know that. Did you remember to "enable" the init service? Did you remember to add _SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_REDIRECT=OHYES in your script? First of all systemd uses a "generator" that creates unit files from the SysV scripts. It often fails for LSB style scripts that have special tags (systemd overreacts to them and fails where normal LSB parsing wouldn't). Also, systemd has no concept of runlevels and any script that assumes it'll be run in the proper runlevel may malfunction. I support Linux as a professional Unix support guru and systemd is a topic that comes up constantly. It's generators often fail to generate correct dependency tree information for the dynamic unit files it makes. Redhat's answer to this is "convert your init script to a unit file manually" my response is: Fuck you Red Hat and the entire cadre of assholes who foisted systemd on us. The more I learn about it (which is obviously more than you know about it since you are spouting bullshit out of your ass about it) the more I hate it. It's like Lennart's other project Pulseaudio. You can always count on it to suck and do the wrong thing (eat CPU, fail for lame reasons, not work at all, hide your diagnostics, etc..).
So, you'd extend to transgender people the false/non-existent right not to be offended? Human rights sounds great until you try to define what they are to different groups. The left seems to think human rights are "anything we say they are" and the right seems to think "What? No such thing!"
I hope it occurs at some point to both your buddies in the Antifa crowd and the far-right KKK types that you can't have free speech coexist with bullshit-right-to-not-be-offended. If hurling a pejorative or label at someone is enough to "dehumanize" them, then they should grow a thicker skin. The world can do a helluva lot worse than call you names, and stopping trolls and bigots with censorship usually just empowers them and gives them more publicity when you fail. I'd find a new hobby. For example, helping people who are hungry find something to eat seems to be a lot more noble than helping transgender people avoid being called something mean spirited. That's why most people roll their eyes when the topic of "trans rights" come up. It's not that they are all bigots, it's that most of them are thinking 'what a fucking waste of time'. Maybe that's just me, I dunno.
I don't use Facebook. I agree with you about their strategy, though. However, your post starts off with a rather far-left set of claims about Infowars. I believe Alex is a complete fool/idiot, their "news" sucks, and it's full of boring conspiracy theories, but "trying to dehumanize transgender people" sounds like you have a far-left pet political agenda. What did he actually do, call them "trannies" or something? Do you have actual evidence for your claims? I only see some guy named French who works at the New York Times (an organization demonstrably hiring racist anti-white staff who the left has twisted into knots trying to crawfish an explanation as an "anti-troll") who makes that claim about Alex Jone's "language". I'd like to see what exactly the NYT author means because it sounds like typical left-wing over-sensitivity, to me unless I can see WTF the conspiracy nutjobs actually did to earn this claim. Compare Sarah Jeong's racist tweets to Alex Jone's (supposedly) "dehumanizing language" and I kinda gotta wonder who is the most deserving of the title "racist" or "dehumanizer".
My experience comes from going to approximately 30 doctors in 3 states and having lots of health problems for myself and my family. That's my experience. Sure, I'm exaggerating about the helplessness of modern medicine, just... not by much. My point is that most folks completely OVER estimate the value of doctors and health care. Young people simply hand wave about problems they can't really be realistic about. "They will have a cure for that by the time I get old." is the prevailing attitude I encounter. People who suffer from chronic health issues very rarely have a good opinion about their healthcare.
Well, based on your needs, Devuan and others probably work great. You are right that I'm talking about FreeBSD for the sysadmin crowd, not for desktop users or gaming. FreeBSD is very inferior to Linux at this point for gaming. It's got DRM 3D drivers, but you run into a ton of library and dependency failures if you try to run Steam or whatever. So, I have a drive with Linux and Steam and all that fun stuff too. I don't use FreeBSD for that. Still... no systemd there. For whatever reason, I've noticed that Steam seems to work best on Devuan anyway (versus Debian). So, it's a no brainer for me for gaming. Just FYI, though, FreeBSD updated it's 'pkg' tool to have all the same capabilities (actually more) than apt has. So, for a few years now, they've been at parity in that regard. Back when you had to compile everything in FreeBSD from ports, it was a bit more painful for users to get started, I agree.
Well, up until now, only one of us putting pejorative labels on the other without citing a single fact or making any argument whatsoever. I can even the score, though. How's this: I'm not an idiot I'm just slow. I could have been your father, but the dog beat me up the stairs. Then it looks like grandma took a couple of shots at your brain with a coat hanger while you were in vitro. Too bad she didn't finish the job.
A lot of people are stuck in the same situation as you. I take support calls for systemd all the fucking time from them. I'd say about 40% of my Linux calls are systemd-related now. Before 2015 there was maybe one call a year where someone had horked their init scripts or whatever. I've had to learn systemd quite well to support it. Before I knew Kerberos, I was a bit afraid and put off by it. However, once I learned it I could sorta-kinda understand why they made it so over-complicated. I still don't like Kerberos, but after learning it thoroughly, I do like it more than I used to. With Systemd it's been exactly opposite. The more I learn about it (and that's a lot at this point) the more I think it's the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen. Pulseaudio is also amazing in that it's everywhere in the distros, but it still sucks so badly it's amazing. GNOME used to be a laughingstock. Now it's just an outrage and an unwelcome influence (spawning DBUS, Systemd, Pulseaudio, and other horrors) on Linux. Nonetheless, I get it. You can't make arbitrary decisions about your company infrastructure. Just understand that those of us who consult and professionally support Linux thank you sincerely for staying with a systemd-distro. It keeps us in the $$$.
Yeah, what's this "Debian turns 25" crap? Debian died the moment they picked up systemd. At least to me. Devuan all the way (when forced to use Linux). Meanwhile, FreeBSD still feels 100x better to administer and tinker with versus Linux. Linux is strong in proprietary vendor support for things like 3D graphics cards and a few other edge cases like Infiniband cards. However, overall, the secret is getting out that Linux has lost it's cool and gone corporate long ago, completed by it's stunning stupidity in design due to Lennart Pottering style missteps. Going to conventions, talking at trade shows, hanging out at the hacker & maker spaces, yep.... my informal poll suggests Linux is best for corporate bean counting assholes who need to run RHEL to run Oracle or else Chinese crap-hardware makers who can make that shitty Broadcom or Marvell hardware function for 10 minutes without locking up using Linux. The cool kids moved on to BSD just like they always have (I remember the same phenomenon in the 1990s, too). Linux used to at least make good training wheels, and have better package management, but no longer. It's become too polluted with crap that a sane IT pro will just have to unlearn or be forever cursed and burdened with meanwhile BSD has become too excellent to ignore.
Yeah, because anyone who feels strongly about something with which they have extensive experience ought to be medicated right? Heaven forbid someone have some strong feelings that could end in "GASP*...... someone getting offended. Oh my heavens, we can't have that.
Says the 20 year old who never had a health problem in his privileged snowflake life. I can't wait for you to have your first ER visit. Hear me now and remember me later.
Higher education costs are increasing at rates much higher than inflation and wage growth. My pet blame target is the expense of suit-weasel administrators who don't do anything but make rules for other people. Now, when it comes to doctors, is someone really going to to defend one of the highest paid professions in the country from high education costs? Personally, after their repeated failures to help my wife, me, and everyone I know with just about everything they've ever gone to see a fucking worthless doctor for, I couldn't give a shit less if doctors were debt bonded slaves chained to the ER wheelchair handrails and beaten by the nursing staff twice a day to remember what criminal failures they are, but hey that's just me. When antibiotics quit working (and we are well on our way) because doctors won't say no to mommy who wants to leave with an amoxicillin prescription for junior's hand cramps, about the only thing they can help you with is to set a broken bone. Everything else they do will either kill you, maim you, give you a worse health problem, addict you to opioids or benzos and/or completely bankrupt you. I'm not going to their filthy MRSA-filled office or hospital unless I get shot or break a bone (maybe). Remind me again who the fuck is supposed to cry for these people and why? I got a whole long list of people to feel a helluva lot sorrier for.

Personally, after their repeated failures to help my wife, me, and everyone I know with just about everything they've ever gone to see a fucking worthless doctor for, I couldn't give a shit less if doctors were debt bonded slaves chained to the ER wheelchair handrails and beaten by the nursing staff twice a day to remember what criminal failures they are, but hey that's just me. When antibiotics quit working (and we are well on our way) because doctors won't say no to mommy who wants to leave with an amoxicillin prescription for junior's hand cramps, about the only thing they can help you with is to set a broken bone. Everything else they do will either kill you, maim you, give you a worse health problem, addict you to opioids or benzos and/or completely bankrupt you. I'm not going to their filthy MRSA-filled office or hospital unless I get shot or break a bone (maybe). Remind me again who the fuck is supposed to cry for these people and why? I got a whole long list of people to feel a helluva lot sorrier for.
