I really love Python, it is my language of choice, bread and butter, and I've been using it since 2005. However, this backwards compatibility break is probably the worst thing that happened to the language, as I think it's creatin

If USSR was restored, it would obviously be the period of 2013. The pre-Gorbochev era was what my 'father' should obviously reference. The 'cruelties' of the Soviet period are directly related to the cruelties of the wor

I didn't realize until much later, but linking to a 60 year old events as a detriment to an action NOW is absolutely ridiculous. It's like, yeah, thank god I'm not Japanese, so I don't have to be imprisoned in a concentr

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure I am aware of the actual ratio of the horror stories to reality. The reality is not as bleak as what the western propaganda made USSR out to be while it was out to destroy the only alternative political syst

No I wouldn't, not just because of this single law. There also needs to be actual pro-marriage, pro-kids, anti-drug, anti-promiscuity propaganda at the same time. There need to be more proactive actions and measures taken, but of cours

It means showing people not living in a monogamous stable relationship dedicated to upbringing of their kids, that it is "normal". I'm not a homophobe, so I guess I won't fuck off, asshole. I have nothing against gayness

by Demiurge 13y ago
Being gay is not the issue, the issue is people not marrying or having kids and dedicating their lives to it because they see other people not doing the same. Thinking that's normal is good for the individual, but not good for a societ

Being gay is not against the law. I can certainly see propaganda of non traditional lifestyle would be detrimental to fertility.

I am a recently naturalized US Citizen, from Russia. In magic scenario USSR would be restored, I would go back and work in an institute, like my father happily did.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The main page language is nice but explains it as much as a job candidates resume header explain what kind of a job candidate he is in a few sentences. There is no comparison to other langua

Since it's compatible with PyObject, sounds like it can be folded into CPython? Are there any arguments against that?

Because it's not as clearcut positive for him as feeding milk to a siberian tiger cub.

Yes, defectors and enemy spies are usually the same thing. It's much more rare that they are 'inserted'.

Besides not rallying for a witch-hunt, which is of course extremely commendable, he could acknowledge Snowden as a whistle-blower who sacrificed comfort and freedom for protecting constitution. Even while pursuing him for prosecution.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense to me. Obama said different things than other people said in 2008, including Hillary. It didn't make anyone who believed that Obama meant it gullible, especially looking at his histor

by Demiurge 13y ago
Has Obama even called Snowden a whistle-blower? He called him a hacker, and his tone of voice has always been dismissive and implying treason.

C is not simple because its BNF is not simple and hard to interpret. You can have a simple (feature wise) C like language with a much cleaner syntax. ie Pascal, Modula, Oberon. You can simplify it a lot just by dropping += :)

Wow, it's night and day. One is a clean usable site where I can clearly read a column of text for which this page exists. The other is a junked up ad/link/box mess and I have no idea what I'm looking at.

I think it's more useful than D though, because I can just add a header file to an old C project and make things better and still have things interoperate.

This looks nice. A lightweight macro for Class, that is just a struct with function pointers, and I will use it over c++ :)
