> Your descriptions of God are interesting. Are these concepts that come from reading the Koran?

These descriptions are in fact sourced from the Qur'an. Allah gives us his description throughout the Qur'an. He has 99 names/attributes which you can look up. Below are example verses where he gives us part of the 99 names. It's a recurring theme in the Qur'an where He emphasizes His attributes. If you would like to read a Qur'an I would recommend "The Clear Quran, a thematic translation".

""He is Allah—there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him: Knower of the seen and unseen. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. He is Allah—there is no god except Him: the King, the Most Holy, the All-Perfect, the Source of Serenity, the Watcher ˹of all˺, the Almighty, the Supreme in Might, the Majestic. Glorified is Allah far above what they associate with Him ˹in worship˺! He is Allah: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He ˹alone˺ has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise."" Qur'an (59:22-24)
We were out of oranges. Then Mary left an orange in the kitchen. Then Bob left an orange in the kitchen.

Q: How many oranges are there in the kitchen?
A: 2.

Thanks for your answer. I, for one, am not holding my breath. Not until the global emissions chart flattens at least.
Good science is not about what is easy.

That said, even if research involving longer-lasting immune responses is more difficult and costly, which limits how much of it we do compared to simple studies on antibodies, I still find it curious that so many experts seem to be expressing surprise at findings totally congruent with basic knowledge about immunity.
If they have to build their own snowflake on top of others API, specially since Khronos doesn't care about C++ as shading language, why bother?
My understanding is that the main obstacle to higher performance Python is the huge value of preexisting extensions written in C. Maintaining compatibility with existing C extensions, or at least minimizing the porting effort for such extensions, puts a lot of constraints on the solution space.

I think one could radically change the way Python objects work internally, and have the C foreign function interface (FFI) wrap every object passed to a C extension in an API/ABI-preserving facade (which itself would wrap any objects returned from its methods). However, this would probably greatly slow down C extensions, which are often performance-critical sections of Python applications. It's also possible that there are portions of the C extension API that expose enough details of object internals to even make such facades herculean to implement. (I've only written some small simple C extensions and am not very familiar with the API.)

V8 didn't have to deal with API/ABI compatibility with any preexisting C extensions that may have made too many abstraction-violating assumptions about how objects and the VM worked.

Breaking too many important C extensions would almost certainly send Python the way of Perl 6.

Edit: as an aside, a big difficulty with JS is that objects can have their prototype changed arbitrarily at runtime. Even with Metaclass programming in Python, the class of an object can't be changed after creation, making it much easier to cache/memoize dynamic method dispatch. On the other hand, high performance implementation of Python's bound methods require a bit more flow analysis than you need in JS. In Python, if you write f = x.y, f is a "bound method" (a closure that ensure x is passed as "self" to y). It's expensive to create closures for each and every method invocation, so a high performance implementation would need to do a bit of static analysis to identify which method look-ups are used purely for invocation, and which look-ups need to create the closures because the method itself is passed around or stored in a variable.
Even discounting what others said about significant opposition to further investment in fossil fuels: Alberta oil is in tar sands, which is expensive to refine and is not economically viable to extract unless the price of oil is over $70-80/barrel, which is historically not steady enough to justify massive capital investment in refining capacity.

Basically, when the price of oil is over $75/barrel, tar sands extraction spins up, pulling in high priced labour from all over; when it drops below that, there's a lot of layoffs and work stoppage. This is why Alberta is caught in a perpetual boom/bust cycle. And politically, it's really hard to diversify to stabilize and break this cycle, when everyone is screaming for supporting the oil industry. Unqualified support for tar sands exploitation is a litmus test for any Alberta politician.

The SEC isn’t regulating banks generally so bank account balances shouldn’t matter much - they are regulating security markets no?

So looking at discrepancies between data from market participants IS verifying and regulating.

Same as if the FDA looked at raw study data and compared it to equivalent studies for similar types of drugs/treatments, or the FAA had an engineer on staff to double check elements of a new design from a major manufacturer for plausibility

I'm wondering why you're being so judgmental of this woman. What offends you so much about her legitimate decision to do this? You might not agree with her reasons, but are you really in a place to decide that her feelings, frustrations and her decision are invalid and inconsequential? It's not like she's antivaxx. This doesn't hurt anybody. How about seeking to understand instead being so argumentative over nothing?
I don't disagree but there is less to the base language than there is Ruby and Python (though all three languages continue to add new stuff). Even looking at the primitive types - JavaScript has three, Python has four, Ruby has... classes, but probably more base types.
Herd immunity sure as hell does reduce transmission. And you won't get that without vaccinating children.

Personal opinion the semi hysterical hand wringing over the imminent vaccination of children is because the anti-vaxers know that's the last shoe to drop.

seems unlikely. the Union didn't recognize the legitimacy of Confederate secession (hence, you know, the war.) the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to rebel states, as an example. they may have had trouble collecting taxes, what with the bullets and all, but amending the tax code doesn't help that.

Of course, give them a chance to improve. Shift them to another position if they show curiosity or initiative. Obviously, if you think all people in the workforce are benevolent actors who deserve nothing but praise - you're deluded. There are people that weigh in on the rest of the team, ruin the culture and talk behind others' back. They're the troublemakers and should be fired.

If you think this definition is OK (I believe it is not, and the source is simply bad: the sentences are not coherent), then how do you interpret

> 1956, of drugs

part?

Doesn't that mean basically that experience can't be "psychedelic", unless it is a consequence "of drugs" (by this definition)?

If you try to dig into the "letter", it also specifically names drug-induced experiences "psychedelic".

Wiktionary does not mention any kind of "expanded consciousness" except the "belief of ... power of weeds", which refers to "psychedelic" in the meaning of "induced by drugs".

To take the counter argument. Modern technology has enabled me to avoid advertising bullshit. I live in a world devoid of ads.

In the 1990s, I used to watch TV and there were lots of ads. Now I have Netflix and the ad blocker takes care of YouTube. There were magazines and newspapers you had to buy but were full of ads. Now it’s free and the adblocker takes care of the ads. Radio ads. Now podcast where you can fastforward, sometimes before you even hear the name of the company.
Hi wingerlang, sorry about that, it should have said web app on the homepage - I've updated it now! I've tried to say web app all the time in the app but forgot on the homepage, where it's arguably most important :(

Mobile session capture is technically possible using the approach we're using i.e. not screen recording but just tracking events and DOM changes and they rebuilding that. We looked into it but it was out of scope for now as we're just a two person team. Fullstory already solve for mobile, as do a few other competitors, perhaps you can find out a little from googling their approach?

In terms of privacy, for the web we can mask form inputs by default, and otherwise you can just add tags to elements you don't want to track and then the script ignores them client-side.

You could argue any profit-seeking endeavor is unethical. I look at every FAANG company, and they all do pretty nefarious things. One might be in the news now for particular reasons, but the others are equally bad for other reasons. Imagine factories overseas pushing people to suicide, warehouse workers without bathroom breaks to collect extra billions for the boss, or equivalent advertising businesses morphing the minds of the masses, as examples.

I'm super happy with my life and it keeps getting better but when I hear first worlders, or even affluent third worlders, talk about money it sounds so crazy :3 Hearing someone say 100k a year is 'enough for a family', when working families where I am now get by decently on 300 MXN a day lol.

I think this is the key part about adopting anything: Make sure you understand the goals behind it, and how those led to the choices it made. Not understanding those is when you start cargo culting.

Of course, it's impossible to know every thought process that went through the original developer's head, but with an understanding of the core goals, you can at least make educated guesses as to what's "load bearing", so to speak.

Before posting I tried `gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations` and it returns 'false', consistently (as it should) with `dconf-editor` used to see the options. And I verified (as I just re-did) the behaviour of `gnome-font-viewer`: changing the window content (switching the font) fades (messily) from former to latter, using the menu animates a "pull-down", activating the search slides down the interface...

Interestingly, this line of thought seems compatible with the description of God in the bible to me. If you put aside all your preconceived notions of some dude in the sky and simply read the bible for what it is, you'll find things like "I am what I am", "I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end", etc. The Cristian God is called the Father. And what is a father but a source? The first link in a causality chain that leads to new life?

Sometimes I really wonder if our current understanding of Christianity is just completely different from what it meant originally.

In ten years, you will have saved more than Oskar Schindler did during the entire Holocaust.

But of course you have taken one path to the Trolley problem and Schindler (who joined the Nazi party) has taken the other. Now it remains to be seen whether history remembers Oskar Schindler the Nazi Party member or user vincnetas who avoided FAANG as the more ethical.
If you had to give up any other citizenships first, then you'd be temporarily stateless. And then what if Germany decided not to make you a citizen after that? Where would they deport you to?

Statelessness exists, but the UN treats it as a human rights concern so I doubt Germany would impose it.

"The creator of Godwin’s Law explains why some Nazi comparisons don’t break his famous Internet rule"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2017/08...

"It’s Time to Call Nazis ‘Nazis’"

https://www.thedailybeast.com/its-time-to-call-nazis-nazis

Chap behind Godwin's law suspends his own rule for Charlottesville fascists: 'By all means, compare them to Nazis'

https://www.theregister.com/2017/08/14/godwins_law_creator_r...

And there's the law itself. Mike Godwin takes pains to clarify that it's not about valid or invalid comparison, or who's "winning" or "losing" the discussion, as it is an observation that productive discussion within the thread is over.

Specifically:

So - *WHAT DOES IT MEAN*?

Fine, fine - it means that somebody's eventually going to say
something about the Nazis in any thread that lasts very long. When it
happens, the thread is going to start either degenerating into a long
flamewar over Nazi Germany or about Godwin's Law. Either way, the thread
is effectively over, and you can safely killfile the thread and move on.

...

2. What happens if we're actually talking about Nazis?

Then you've already invoked Godwin's Law, and the chances are that
your thread isn't going to last all that much longer as a sane discussion.
Them's the breaks.

3. What about arguing with Neo-Nazis?

Arguing with Neo-Nazis is probably the quickest path to getting
Nazi invocations, because, well, they're actually accurate. Still, trying
to invoke Godwin's Law near a Neo-Nazi isn't really a good idea because
it's not terribly original and they'll probably get off on it anyway.
Just ignore them and occasionally publish a FAQ detailing what actually
happened during the Holocaust and such; arguing probably isn't going to
help you.

This thread has reached the discussion-of-Godwin's-law stage, so there's that.

And remember that "it can't happen here" is also a fallacy.

If you want to solve security, portability, and distribution in proper way, you will end with something similar.

Security: Snap are running in sandbox by default and have proper support for system permissions. They are installed in user home directory. There is central store that allow for reporting and regularly perform security scanning.

Portability: Snaps works on most distros. They allow building once and distribute everywhere model. You no longer need to build multiple packages for every package manager in universe. They make building software for Linux easy[1]. I remember doing rpm to deb conversion, installing from source and running stuff in VM/docker.

Distribution. Most distros do not accept proprietary apps. Most importantly, you are no longer at the mercy of distro maintainers deciding when you can release your own software. Because your snaps are portable, your users will get updates even if they are on an older distro. Hopefully no more PPA hell that can brick your system.

The connection between corps and unions/farmers markets is clear to me, but the jump between unions/farmers markets to individuals is not.

1. Lighthouses are not a "sensor box". The only sensor in them is an IMU. Their primary purpose is to sweep (an approximation of) planes of light in your play area.

2. They are not a pain to setup. You just plug them in and then put them somewhere where they can see you. It's no more of a pain than charging your phone.

>This external sensorless experience means everything.

The headset and controllers have do tracking just by using sensors internal to them. Again, lighthouse do not do the tracking.
