No, no. Single politics course, they do exists, but never single Maoism course, single Dengism course, etc. Even in colleges and universities they're combined into one single course. This time it's different, China is having single Xi-ism course.

They never added those things as a standalone subject to primary school & middle school curriculum since 1978. Not even Maoism.

> When you represent the Haiku community badly, that's everyone in the Haiku community's problem.

it's truly, truly a sad mental state to consider anyone has to be representing some certain community. really hope someday you can pull yourself out of that.

> Although my opinion of you as a person is lowering for other reasons.

lower it as much as you want my friend, seriously wouldn't mind if some random stupid asshole insists considering me a stupid asshole.

> If you're an enthusiast of said product, you're doing no one any favors by being hostile.

Ah i see you must be too blind to see others have tried not being hostile, failed and get called out as having "social disability".

> Which does nothing for someone who couldn't get it to run on any of the hardware they tried it on.

Sure:

1. People have to help you here no matter what even if you're being very rude. 2. Certainly "it does not work on my machines" to "it does not work on anything" is a very reasonable stretch!

> I'm just saying, it's sadly very common, does nothing to help anybody, and leaves people with a negative opinion of their community.

if someone could just not leave other people with a negative opinion of him/her/themselves lol

> > keep on venting about social disability bullshit

> I don't even know what this means, but have a suspicion that if I did I would have a low opinion of you as a person for saying it.

seriously? lmfao, that phrase goes for you too, shut up and get your shit together.

as for the "does not help anybody" bit, yeah clearly venting like you do helps a heck lot to everybody.

A lot of people have been frustrated about the thing does not work for them (yes including me myself) but why does OP get the hate he/she/they get? If you can't figure that out yourself, you should probably do something else instead of keep posting here.

So op venting about shit is "maybe exaggerating a bit" and "important frustration" but other people venting is just "defensiveness"? Yeah sure people have to be nice to any one lmao. Ars Technica literally made a long article about how Haiku worked on a cheap-ass laptop, still no, keep on venting about social disability bullshit, and you're here complaining about other people being angry about op being this rude. Truly the moral standard everyone should follow huh.

Somewhat reasonable title but poorly written content.

> For instance, what is called an "Array" in pretty much every mainstream language, is instead called a "List" in Python.

Because it is a list rather than an array (as in C).

> Another issue with Python is that it is essentially two different languages, there's Python 2.7 and Python 3+.

It's 2020, you are not supposed to teach Python 2 to newbies.

I was expecting more in-depth discussion, and the whole article is just way too superficial.

Hard to discriminate between captial letter "O" and number "0". Not that good for actual coding IMO.

P.S.: This world really does NOT need any more look-good-only-under-Chrome websites.

> One would have expected one in Chinese or Japanese by now.

We do have one in Mainland China, popular in the last decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easy_Programming_Language

It's somewhat of a disaster, though: its author probably caught up with the idea of "Language = IDE" & "selling the language for profit" so it's really not that suitable for "real" serious uses.

should be N >= 2 because you can't really have 1-input NOR gate...?

One rule of thumb that's worth following is to never waste your time reading blogpost like this. If you ever saw a blogpost structured like this, just close the tab.
