Couldn't you just handle this with:
breakflag = False
for x in iterator:
if breakcondition(x):
breakflag = True
break
dostuff()

But people don't consider the Republicans as a single issue party, that want a republic, or the Democrats as a single issue party, that want democratic elections.
For the green parties, claiming them to be single issue is a narrative that is repeated, for instance by corporate media that does not want people to realize that there is more progressive political positions than privatized healthcare and a limited number of sick days.
Fox News and other Murdoch media, Koch brothers... The people behind it have been working on these things since much longer.
They are active throughout all the year. Just that they get ignored by the corporate media until it is election time. Almost as if the corporate media has an interest to only use them for diversion and not in honestly representing their political positions.
The difference is whether you stand behind the police line, or if you break through the police line.
The tea party was ridiculous and loud with having Fox News and other media ready to spread their message and present them as a grass roots movement. If a genuine grass roots movement from the left is just "ridiculous and loud" all the "Liberal" media will jump to defend the politicians and shame the activists.
The tea party "movement" was organized from "the top", with the money from "the top" and support from "the top". It was done to instill the idea of a legitimate grass roots movement that would also represent the interests of normal people, when its goals were all focused on the interests of rich people. This is why i don't think it to be a template that can be applied for a left takeover of the Democratic party.
And it is much easier for rich elites to maintain power inside a party, than it is for genuine grass roots to take it over from the inside. I believe the power has to be taken from the outside, first by grinding the party to a halt, and then taking it over from the inside, or better yet by having a third party take over its place, with better safeguards against oligarchs in its core structures.

In an August 30, 2010, article in The New Yorker, Jane Mayer asserted that the brothers David H. Koch and Charles G. Koch and Koch Industries provided financial support to one of the organizations that became part of the Tea Party movement through Americans for Prosperity.[232][233] The AFP's "Hot Air Tour" was organized to fight against taxes on carbon use and the activation of a cap and trade program.[
U.S. News & World Report reported that the nature of the coverage of the protests has become part of the story.[272] On CNN's Situation Room, journalist Howard Kurtz commented that "much of the media seems to have chosen sides". He says that Fox News portrayed the protests "as a big story, CNN as a modest story, and MSNBC as a great story to make fun of. And for most major newspapers, it's a nonstory".[272] There were reports that the movement had been actively promoted by the Fox News Channel.[273][274]
According to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, a progressive media watchdog, there is a disparity between large coverage of the Tea Party movement and minimal coverage of larger movements. In 2009, the major Tea Party protests were quoted twice as often as the National Equality March despite a much lower turnout.[275] In 2010, a Tea Party protest was covered 59 times as much as the US Social Forum (177 Tea Party mentions versus 3 for Social Forum) despite the attendance of the latter being 25 times as much (600 Tea Party attendees versus at least 15,000 for Social Forum).[276]
In the January/February 2012 issue of Foreign Affairs, Francis Fukuyama stated that the Tea Party is supporting "politicians who serve the interests of precisely those financiers and corporate elites they claim to despise" and inequality while comparing and contrasting it with the occupy movement.
I am not saying not to do something, i am saying to use the right strategies for what you have.
The Dems dont give a fuck about demonstrations at their places. Neither do the Reps. They give a fuck only about money, or being pressured into doing something.
So you will have to show up with many people and block their events. You will need to organize general strikes. You will need to be armed and fight back if you are attacked.
These things you can do with many people. Pulling strings in intrigue games is not something you can do without money and networks. That is why politics have been built to cater to the people who can, rather than the people who rally on the streets.
This is not about kill bots. This is about defining you as a terrorist threat to the US empire because you are friends with someone who criticised them on the internet. And they will wait to bomb you until you are home, so your family is also murdered along side you.

Tea party has a lot of money and nothing else to do but play intrigues for decades.
You cannot adapt this strategy for the masses of people who still need to feed their families.
There is green partys all over the world and they cover all political topics.
What do you want parties to be called to not sound single issue?
The party for peace and prosperity under a reasonably regulated economy with free education and workers right, environmental protection and representative democracy and a yet to develop position on electric vehicle subsidies...
And one of their opponents would be:
The party for peace and prosperity under a reasonably regulated economy with free education and workers right, environmental protection and representative democracy and a no subsidies for electric vehicles but more for public transport...
So the PPURREFEWREPRDYDPEVS vs. the PPURREFEWREPRDNSEVMPT
EDIT: Why are people downvoting this? The argument that a party name would "scream single issue" is obviously an insincere argument. No party has a name to represent all their political positions and there is green parties all over Europe, many of which have been part of state or federal governments. It is just absurd to claim their name to "scream single issue".
I wonder how they communicated GUI colors then.
draw.set_color(r=0,g=0,b=0) # Adjust text color to very very dark greyActive users does not say how active. E.g. your active users could be less and less, but if 10% leave and the remaining 90% increase their activity by 20%, you end up with an 8% overall increase.
And in winter people stay inside more, so with all these metrics we should probably adjust for seasons.
I think we are looking at this from different angles. I think you are looking at the programmer perspective, and i am looking at the end-user perspective, who uses a GUI file explorer.
In the case of a GUI file explorer the search handles the case insensitivity. So for me using Dolphin in KDE if i have two files:
TEST.txt and test.txt, if i type "tes" on my keyboard, i will be given the uppercase one first. if i type "te" again, it jumps to the next fitting entry, which is test.txt. If i put "test" or "TEST" in the search bar, i will get back both results.
I see why a strictly case insensitive file system makes it easier for programmers down the line to not have to handle the different cases explicitly in their program anymore.
I think your description covers many career choices in a capitalist society.
Mostly Windows, and construction industry. So projects generate anywhere from a few hundred to up to a hundred thousand files.
Everyone has their own filesystem, and then you often have one formal and multiple informal exchange platforms. You still have people throwing around stuff in E-Mails too.
It is a mess. But in this mess i didn't come acrosse people complaining they couldnt find a file because of the letters case yet.
I see that it could be different for programmers, but i dont see that apples solution of treating upper and lowercase as identical name is the solution there, rather than working with explicit file naming conventions in the program.
if you look for a file you type the first letters for the file explorer to jump to the matching name. Retype to jump to the next fitting entry. If you don't know about this, you can put your string in the search field. If you don't know about this, you can sort by metadata like file size or date of last change.
It is a non problem.
Also most workplaces tend to develop a file naming convention, either explicitly or implicitly.
Yes please. You need to spend more money on politics. We need to up the election games. A few billion per election? Make that a few trillion.
Who doesnt spend at least 10% of their net worth at elections isnt a proper billionaire anymore.
Best way to spend is to rent a sign in every front yard. Rates should start at 200$ a day.
Lets do it for a few cycles and we have redistributed most of the hoarded wealth.
Naah. There is plenty of Gen X, Y, Z who know and plenty of Millenials who dont.
Its just if you wanted to "do stuff with computers" you had to develop some understanding back then.
Today you can "do stuff" like gaming much easier out of the box. So not everyone who "does stuff" knows his way around.
In the office most colleagues of all generations just know how to do their specific things, mostly in MS Office products.
