I wouldn't. I'd just explain war is no joke. Go stand next to the pile of corpses and play comedian there.

Gallows humor has its place. Sometimes it's the only thing that can keep the tears at bay.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's actually a joke about the buffoons in the Welsh (so called) government.

War is a stupid and tragic waste of life. I doubt that it something to joke about.
I have no doubt this will escalate into WWIII before it is over.
As far as Joe "Neville Chamberlain" Biden goes, "those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it".
Biden is the worst President ever! Putin is out of his mind. The citizens of Ukraine have been well and truly screwed by the U.S and Nato.

Please someone adds an Option Explicit to Python.
The fact that something like this is even conceivable, let alone valid, is atrocious:
class Empty:
pass
Empty.completelyNewAttribute = "seriously?"
obj = Empty()
obj.randomTypo = 10
Every new programmer makes fun of C++ for being unnecessarily hard to use but I think that a language like Python, with all the possible ways it enables programmers to shoot themselves, is 10 times harder than C++.
And yes, my opinion that Python is VB with different clothes is only becoming stronger. Ugh.

when I see code statements like goto and option explicit, I run in the opposite direction.

I honestly think that is the objective (thinning the herd).

What is funny about this is that most of the software these "new programmers" run, was written partly or mostly in C++. Inconceivable!

I like the way you think. I work in embedded so the my particular herd is already very thin

Goto is an issue. Option Explicit is the programmer telling you how they're handling variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Would you rather see an option explicit or wonder what the result of
var sum = "6" + 6
is?
Option explicit prevents the confusion.

I tried it for a few weeks but found it extremely hard to understand. I'll stick with C++ and Java.

There are some slightly weird things you need to get your head round. Once you 'get' those things it really is quite an easy language to use.

It's quirky. As I'm more and more convinced, it's VisualBasic all over again (they do share birth year, by the way). It's useful to automate random stuff, it's single thread, it has a strong support for binary calling and a nice quick graphic interface whose logic is 1:1 that of Windows.
In my company we will probably start using Python for automated testing and data analysis so we will need to learn it; I do find myself in need of a quick GUI to link to my Serial / MODBUS / LIN libraries to prod and test our products; we also have a self improvement program that makes us choose courses to follow during the year.
Given all of the above, the decent multiplatformity (is that even a word?) of Python and its ubiquity it makes for me a good choice.

Once you realize that objects are just dictionaries, and everything is an object, it all makes a lot more sense, but one does have to understand that there is a difference between an object's dictionary and an object's instance dictionary.

That's the big gotcha indeed, it takes a while. Also scopes are dictionaries, everything is public, every line of code is executed, every method is static... and an object.

Remember when people complained about C, so someone came up with lint?
Guess what?
pylint.org 😊

Lint... the only tool that can take a perfectly readable piece of code and make a total mess out of it. I wonder what damages it can do with Python.
