Hm. Not too sure about that. I've gotten the "You think I'm an idiot?" reaction a little bit too often when trying to make sure I also get the people who basically don't do more than clicking the Steam icon with their OS. I find it difficult to find the balance between "Clone the repo and install with pip" and a 10-point tutorial.

I don't think there is any phobia concerning German military operations anymore. The world got over it during the Kosovo conflict in the late 90s. And no, I don't have a solution - I'm merely sure that dropping more bombs will do a lot of harm with actually no benefit at all. The worst thing is that our politicians seem to have no plan or strategy whatsoever.

Yeah, but we are not dropping bombs, we are deliviering reconasaince via aircameras. At best this will reduce the number of innocent death, because our data from the jets will help to indendify where their troops, defense and weapon depots are, so that the kurdish troops that get supplyed by us can drive Daesh back

Thats actually a good point, I hadn't looked at it that way. Perhaps our Recon will actually do some genuine good.

Yes you're right, IS is a state now, representing a target for the superior military of the coaltion, but they started out as just another Syrian/Iraqi terror network. Remember, the Taliban had their own state in Afghanistan too, but they were not defeated after the country itself was defeated. They are back now. I simply believe that if we invaded and occupied Syria, the same thing which happened in Afghanistan might happen again. And at least up to now, no politician from any country ga...

...gave me any reason to believe that an invasion of Syria would have a different effect. Just a massive waste of resources, a heap of innocent dead civilian, and a few years of semi stability for the local population until the the troops of whatever coalition did the fighting retreated.

Java? Or something else. Initial Google searches seemed to indicate Java, which is (?) multithreaded?

Python. It is one really big joke. Google Global Interpreter Lock. Basically: The Python interpreter cannot execute more than one python statement at the same time. Which makes multithreading completely impossible. I even understand why they did that - it makes the Python Interpreter implementation far (far far far) simpler and allows for a very simple garbage collection algorithm. But it also makes the language utterly unusable for anything one might wish to execute on several cores. Like, y...

Ah, so it's concurrent, not parallel. That's... nice... or not....

You could probably launch multiple Python processes via shell execs and fork. It would be absolutely horribly hacky, but I think that would work
