Personally I have found Wikipedias quality to be declining for anything with a political slant to it. Articles about any public figure that has a right wing opinion looks more like a smear piece than an objective piece. Often phrases like &

Judging by the "twitter storms" that get reported in the media twitter seems to have quite a political bias already.

If a group has a tendency for bad behaviour should it be ignored because they are a minority? Why shouldn't the majority be allowed to call it out?

I want to see how these look after a month or two. I might be wrong but I imagine they will be filled with human waste and needles. They would end up like that in my home city.

Isn't socialism supposed to be the stepping stone to communism (but usually ends up in totalitarianism instead)?

I don't think anyone is particularly bothered by their race, rather their behaviour. (In the UK there are both Irish gypsies and Romani gypsies, both have a bad reputation).

Do they have a roll of duct tape up there with them?

That is a valid point, but then every one of my friends in Europe posting anti-Trump stuff, encouraging Americans to vote for Biden could be considered election interference as well, no?

You will probably find that the SNP is more of a "main left of Labour" party in Britain.

Whats the correct way to get libraries into your docker container? We have plenty of apt-get / pip calls in the dockerfiles at my work (set up by someone else).

Why would you be doing development as root? Personally I would use virtualenvs with Python to solve that problem you described.

I have never managed to get a step through debugger working with Pycharm. I know it's possible, but things like this are why devs won't be able to "start using it in no time". Docker solves one set of problems and introd

From an external perspective being slim and healthy seems like to sensible things to be obsessed about.(Though your comment implies "too skinny" over "slim"). It seems better than "body positive" movements tell

I see a lot of people arguing about whether or not there is a bias to conservative accounts being banned. Is there a way to get the information about what accounts were banned (via their API maybe)? That would be the obvious way to decide i

I am not sure how true this is. There have been numerous attempts at visual programming and they have generally turned out to be crap. Because syntax is actually a relativity small part of the problem.

There people are not made to be programmers. Having tried various visual tools over the years, they are at best no better than writing code, and at worst a lot less productive and powerful. They are only suitable for very basic tasks like e
