Yes including toxic churches, soccer teams and anime forums. Humans being humans and all that. Plenty of people prefer to be victims in group than alone though. We are weird creatures.

Any communty really. Sport, book or chess clubs too. Theater lessons, shared houses, gay bars, anything where you can recreate a sense of being part of a group and not just being among people. The quality of the community matters though, so

In hyperion, the AI are very useful to the general population... Safety nets should be placed now, not as an afterthough.

This is why SF should be mandatory reading in high school. People can't even grasp the consequences of tracking cookies and we are going to sell them stuff to plug in their head.

I lived in Africa for 2 years, and both can be true at the same time.

Of course we do. We just happen to value things you don't. When you don't work with 10x programmers and experience the corporate world, you suddently see purity in a very different light.

Numpy arrived in python because the language allowed mathematicians who were not programmers to get their job done and then do stuff that were not math related as well. They don't have the desire to learn what a monad is, they don&#x27

What you call crippled, some call it sculpted. What you call inexpressive, some call it readable. You have a lot of contempt to offer, I'll let you with it and get work done.

Those libs did not come out of nowhere, and the language did not rise from 1991 to the today without inherent qualities that draw people to it. Python didn't have any specialty like PHP, or an accidental monopoly like JS. It didn'

Twisted is a lib, she happened to have contributed a lot to the migration effort for it.

He is not. He has been working on it for 25 years and he is just fed up to having to explain again and again the same things. He doesn't want to see the careful and long work he did being dragged to a standard he considers lower. There

Many do, but you can get fired for it.

Yes but it won't get it. And at the end if the day, people need to be able to get work done. The corporate world is full of stupid things that will never not change, or take years to change.

Hawk Owl is a _fantastic_ dev. She was the main force behind the twisted 2->3 transition. But because she is, she is missing the point of batteries included. Asyncio is in the stdlib so that we have an official lib and API. The main bene

If you want to make the case that complexity => free will, you need to demonstrate it, not just say it is.

This assume there is such a thing as chaos, and not just a state with so many variables it seems chaotic to our limited eyes. I'm open to it, but let's not pretend we have certitudes.

Exactly. A very strong title. And big phrases like: > This does not necessitate that the world is also deterministic at some higher level of description. But basically nothing to back it up and if you pretend to know something on a topic

I can organize and search my mail archive much better than chat, and I disable the notifications on chat anyway, so I'm not sure about that.

Conspiracy assume malevolence. I don't. I assume incompetence and selfishness. Also I've now read enough history to have a good overview on how people in charge deal with crisis. They are human, they have an agenda, and most of th

Firefox 66: import('/modules/mon-module.js') SyntaxError: dynamic module import is not implemented So no network access, and of course no FS access. Hence, doesn't work in the browser. You need a lib or a bundler.
