What a co-incidence! Exactly 11 years ago from today, communications satellites Iridium-33 (US) and Kosmos-2251 (Russia) collided in orbit, destroying both.[1]
I don't have any criticism if the performance of this new dict stays the same as earlier and that's a huge if. Considering python3 is already a crawling language compared to peers like java and php, I think devs should focus more on that before handing out features.
Yeah, that's called instinct triggered by practical knowledge and a sense for survival, used to come quite handy in those unpredictable adventurous days!
The problem with Compatibilism is that free will and determinism can't co-exist, its an either or. If you believe in determinism then your will was never free, was it?
The Buddha says that free will is perfectly possible provided you have the strength and perseverance of controlling your mind which is like a drunken monkey. As long as you don't do that, you are at the mercy of the whims of your subconscious mind which is constantly conditioned by your Karma and thus your will is never truly free.
Quite ironic that the world is busy raging wars about about all kinds of racism, casteism, sexism, feminism, etc. while ignoring the real social menace bothering everyone since time immemorial: the bourgeois vs proletariat classism.
People are too much addicted to reddit, they simply can't imagine living without it. They should take it down for a couple hours just for an experiment, just to see how many don't go mad without posting there!
The words "technical" and "non-technical" are also quite vague these days because once you start focusing deep enough in a field, it does become technical even if IT isn't involved - that's another widely used error, "technical" isn't just about Information Technology.
Each of these skills you've mentioned have their own technical nuisance and even IT gets involved at some point or other even in fields like art and architecture.
And yeah, programming is as creative as it gets whether you regard it as technical or not!
Blame 4th generation information warfare for it. Each country has its own narrative about what goes around both within and outside her borders, and they want to adamantly stick to that narrative.
If their narrative loses to another country's, they simply cannot survive, either politically or morally. Even people are becoming part of this narrative wars these days, which is why each country is zealously guarding its borders from outsiders.
Its quite funny that America was once heavily criticized for meddling in other country's affairs and inviting their hatred in return (pre 9/11 days). And now, they are criticized for exactly the opposite thing: Just minding their own business and securing it from outsiders!
