Python is just glorified shell scripting
Absolutely not, python is an actual programming language with sane error handling and arbitrarily nestable data structures.
I don’t like the indentation crap
Don’t be so superficial. When learning something, go with the flow and try to work with the design choices, not against them.
Python simply writes a bit differently: you do e.g. more function definitions and list comprehensions.
Not only is there a UInt8Array, there’s also a bunch of others: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/TypedArray#typedarray_objects
Great point, but this part of the quote is still dumb as rocks:
Coding is just kind of like the language that we talk to computers. It’s not necessarily the skill in and of itself. The skill in and of itself is like, how do I innovate? How do I go build something that’s interesting for my end users to use?
Sure, if you have a big workforce hand-coding UI, you might replace some of them by better tools. But things like that are a fraction of a fraction of the responsibilities developers have
Huh, I really like code like that. Having a multi-step process split up into sections like that is amazing to reason about actual dependencies of the individual sections. Granted, that only applies if the individual steps are kinda independently meaningful
To adapt your example to what I mean:
Baz do_stuff(int count, boolean cond) {
Foo part1 = function1(count);
Bar part2 = function2(cond);
return function3(part1, part2);
}
This allows you to immediately see that part1 and part2 are independently calculated, and what goes into calculating them.
There are several benefits, e.g.:
A vote for a 3rd party is a vote for the opponent. Everyone says this. I simply do not buy it.
That’s the part you got wrong. The voting system means that no 3rd party has a chance. Therefore you’d effectively abstain. And that means you don’t vote to keep the candidate you hate more out of the office.
And if you really think that Trump isn’t worse in every way to your interests as a leftist, you live in a deep hole under a rock.
I mean, if you treat your inbox as a to-do list, that’s not that far-fetched
