first time I've heard anythistng about this beyond a banknote recall, jesus christ
Ehh, I think it's a little less conspiratorial than that. It's well known the rates of illegal commerce (largely bribes, but a flourishing black market, especially on alcohol in many states which also feeds into the bribery economy) are astronomical in India. Invalidating those notes goes a long way to bringing this commerce back into view of auditors and into the tax base.
From what I've heard from people living in India or with family there, the reason this money was not exchanged was not so much a short grace period is that you can't show up with X dollars in a suitcase when you reported a fraction of that as income. People were literally burning their cash because it was better than being caught with it.
I need to read more on the supposed evidence for the washington connection, but there are reasons for that move beyond "nwo cashless society inbound". If anything it demonstrates wonderfully how physical national currency is not a safeguard against abuse by the state. This isn't centralization, the currency was already centralized, it's a much more mundane crackdown on the black market.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I thought about removing the single thanker constraint, doing the logic in app code, and adding some edge case. But then I realized we're talking about protecting internet circle jerk points on the occasion that someone's mom finds their niggasin.space account and they need to get rid of the evidence.

if not command == 'q' or 'Q':
The equality operator has a higher binding prescedence than the logical or operator. The way you'd read this line is "does command not equal 'q'? If not, then what is 'Q'?". You probably want "if not command in ('q', 'Q')`. The following code might make more sense than a written explanation:
>>> 'foo' == 'bar' or 'foo'
'foo'
>>> 'baz' == 'bar' or 'foo'
'foo'
>>> 'foo' in ('bar', 'foo')
True
>>> 'baz' in ('bar', 'foo')
False
Also a useful tool I use pretty often is that you can run `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` to serve the current directory over HTTP. Same thing as you have here without the shell. It's nice since it's a oneliner and python is widely installed.
Originally posted by Issue313 Looks good. I'm not knowledgeable about Python, I thought everyone had upgraded to version 3 by now.
Probably over half of the community is on Py3 by now but it's been a very slow transition period. One of python3's big selling points was supposed to be better unicode support but a significant minority of the community, including myself, don't think py3's approach is a step in the right direction. There's a fair amount of nuance to the issue but basically py2's approach was "all strings are byte strings, unicode is complicated and you can use unicode strings if you want, but bytestrings are the default" which is a very reasonable strategy for a scripting/utility language. Py3 insists unicode codepoint sequences are common currency. That's nice if you're building a big system and you're willing to take the complexity hit of encoding and decoding at system boundaries. But it means if you just want to shuffle around a few bytes or treat your input as blackbox byte sequences you have to jump through hoops and work using second class language support.
And if you're not sold on the unicode point there's next to nothing in py3 that moves forward from py2. Also all the cool lispy stuff got banished to functool siberia.
Originally posted by Issue313 Why are breaking changes in Python tolerated though? For instance the code for the internet prayer project just gives errors right now. Yes, it's from 2004, but Javascript from 2004 would still run. I can't even.

Ehh, breaking changes in a major release isn't unreasonable. It's not hard to find a py2 interpreter. Java is a prime example of the terrible things that can happen to a language if you refuse to ever introduce breaking changes.

2017-12-25 at 9:44 AM UTC in are happy people dumberHave you really not heard od depressive realism before?
But it's a stupid question brewed up to make you feel better about feeling sad. The reality is that neither happiness nor intelligence are meaningfully quantifiable so there is no objective answer to be had. Just self-satisfaction.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-12-24 at 7:29 AM UTC in Ajit PaiOh, I assumed they were the same thing, like TDS is what they started calling themselves after a sufficient mourning period for Don Black's anal virginity had passed. It's kind of the same point though, the repeal of net neutrality laws makes that kind of bullying possible at the far more centralized minimal-compition level of ISPs. If you think godaddy did something wrong in the daily stormer affair then you should support net neutrallity legislation wholly.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

It's the 1% of retards that have to take every drug and do everything to excess that cause all the problems, not the guy who works all day and has a few beer a few times a week.
If "use it in moderation" is a valid defense of alcohol use, why not other drugs?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by D4NG0 You made a sweeping generalization that I blindly support everything the right does, so I did the same in return.
No I didn't. I said you form views oppositionally (e.g. "lefties like it so I assume it's bad").This may shock you, but sometimes people, especially those with lives, rightly use political parties to guide their opinions because they don't have time to read up on every fucking issue that pops up in the news.
Given what the american political parties are, that's exactly why we're fucked.

2017-12-17 at 11:20 AM UTC in What have you been playing lately?Stardew valley was on sale recently so I picked it up. It's fun, sorta requires a certain level of zen to enjoy. The setup is super simple and kinda cliche: you're an office drone who gets sick of it and moves out to the sticks to be a farmer. But that scene setting has the weird effect on the rest of the gameplay. Like the game's macguffin is to chill the fuck out, so any time you start try to minmax in what is essentially an engine building game you can take a step back and be like "wait, that's not what you're supposed to do". There's this funny mechanic where shop owners will just randomly be like "lol fuck you, I'm taking the day off" and you can't buy anything until the next day any my reaction is always initially like "nigger get back in that store I need my shit I'll burn your fucking house down this isn't how business ownership works god damn" but then I'm like "wait, I'm chillin in the country, maybe I'll go spend the day fishing instead or something". It sounds kinda trite but it's an interesting subversion of the game's own mechanics.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

Originally posted by Malice I am planning on studying computer science/programming and aiming for a high paying job like Lanny did because I've accepted that I need to be able to support myself and receive more money. The Lanny route via the financial industry does have its appeal; my previous thoughts on what to do with my life were completely unrealistic given the state I was in. I wonder if Lanny considers himself a parasite, given what he enables, and if therefore I would still be viewed as one as well.
Career goal: High ROI parasitism.
"Parasite" implies a certain kind of legitimacy to the object of parasitism which I wouldn't agree with. As opposed to a parasite, I prefer to think of myself as a rank and file Nazi solider, participating in and profiting from evil although indirectly and I mean hey, we all gotta eat at the end of the day right? I certainly don't think working in the financial industry is a good thing but it would be pretty hypocritical to say don't do it if you're looking for a high pay-to-effort ratio gig.
Originally posted by Malice My god, forcing me to take a career I wouldn't choose if it weren't for the necessity of my survival, molding and permeating my life to such an extent. What power capital holds over me.
I'm a slave to the all ighty ollar.
Oh yes, aren't we all? Enjoy being ground within the gears of capitalism, your intellect, dignity, your very soul ground up and reconfigured in the way that best makes someone else a dime. Maybe this is good, you'll finally learn to hate the horrifying machine that is western capitalism.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
