>>Reason for the lack of smell is most probably the natural bacteria that eat all of my body output ( sweat, dead skin, etc ). The cold shower was keeping this bacteria alive, since hot water has some effect ( dilutuing fat and killing some of them ).

But....this is exactly what produces the smell. Sweat, dead skin - they have absolutely no smell. Zero. Smell is produced by bacteria feeding off your sweat, and their waste is smelly - that's why you are very unlikely to smell straight away after intense physical exercise, where you are literally covered in sweat - but leave it on for a few hours and it turns super smelly.
You don't have to have generics to use enums for error handling any more than you need generics to use tuples for error handling. The thing you need is enums/algebraic data types/sum types.

Correct. Also, it should be noted that Charlie Hebdo recently fired a contributor for mildly criticizing a powerful Jew:

"Below is the full text which got the cartoonist Siné fired and brought before a court on charges of anti-Semitism. He was acquitted and later won a wrongful termination suit against Charlie Hebdo.

"The back story was that Jean Sarkozy rear-ended a BMW driven by some random Arab guy. Instead of stopping, he fled the scene. The police were not interested, but the BMW owner’s insurance company tracked down the scooter driver and it ended up being the younger Sarkozy. He was eventually acquitted of all charges and walked away scot-free. He married an heiress to the Darty fortune (Darty is a chain of electronic stores in France similar to Circuit City in the US). It was rumoured he would convert to Judaism (his great grandfather was Jewish) for the marriage but he denies he did this.

"So in response Siné wrote the following in Charlie Hebdo: Jean Sarkozy, a son worthy of his paternity and already a general counselor for the UMP, was set free –almost with applause — from his criminal proceedings for the offense of on his scooter. The prosecutor actually requested his release! It must be said that the complainant is an Arab! But that’s not all: he [Sarkozy] just declared his intention to convert to Judaism before marrying his fiancée, who is Jewish and the heiress to the founders of Darty. He’ll go far in life, this lad!"

But it's possible for me to respond to you, because thanks to Translate I do in fact understand some of what you want to say. Because of that tool, you and I can talk even though you used a language that I don't understand very well. Did you want to proof my point? Because that's what happened, I think.

How Bell Canada stole $467.93 from me
The page you linked seems to do a reasonable job of answering that:

"Using on your phone’s built-in GPS, Wi-Fi, and gyroscope to determine distances and the orientation of walls, RoomScan can reliably estimate measurements to within about half a foot, which should be adequate if all you need is a rough floor plan. If, you need more precise measurements, you can opt for the $5 Pro version, which allows you to specify exact distances, and will automatically correct the entire room if you adjust a couple dimensions."

Combining GPS, wifi-positioning, and the gyroscope should be fairly accurate for a floor plan. It's a very clever idea.
If you look at the century centered on 1500: Just finishing 400 years of named-as-such Crusades, conquering much of the world in the name of Christ, violently repressing non-Christians in the areas it controlled, and getting started with religious wars between various factions of western Christianity which would be particularly prominent through the 17th Century.

From the replies I was assuming it was deleted for using the word "faggot" as a pejorative. I may be wrong.

To be clear, I don't mind the fact it was deleted. I do think Freedom of Speech is a poor justification for reprisals against Muslims of Islam partly because, as Stanley Fish put it, there's no such thing as free speech and it's a good thing too.
>> And, based on those same estimates of probabilities, none of us should be here, given what we know so far.

>> It just strikes me as profoundly short-sighted (and unwitting self-parody) for people to claim such assuredness of the falseness of others' beliefs when we all know so very little.

That's kinda the point though, sure we don't know everything, sure I can't disprove your god. But you have no more evidence for it than I do, you've taken the same knowledge base (actually usually less) and built a tissue of wishful thinking and fantasy upon it.

I don't agree that tolerance is respecting others beliefs. Respecting their right to have them is fine, but taking a philosophical stand that they're all just as valid is a stretch too far.

>> The approach you take is materially no different than that taken by those whom attacked Hebdo. And, you both believe your positions to be evidence-based.

The answer to that question is simple: Christianity experienced enlightenment and Islam did not.

So they're effectively to be compared with pre-enlightenment Christianity and then the differences are much smaller. The world does not move in lockstep. Sooner or later Islam will also experience its enlightenment (hopefully sooner) and then we will see the end of this nonsense.

I agree, and I disagree. In most cases (each state is different) the charter school is paid a stipend per pupil from the local school district.

I love the idea of a child getting a chance that they wouldn't normally have. But I wonder if it's at the expense of children of uneducated or uninvolved parents?

There was this one game I picked up off the shelf at Target wayyyyyyyy back in the day (likely around 1990-1992) that had printed on the box a selling point that you could hear music without a sound card. It used the pc speaker. And sounded horrendous.

Still can't remember what the name of the game was and had been trying to track it down the last few years to see if it was as bad as I remembered.

I just remember high color (S?)VGA rendered/scanned in graphics, a man who was visiting alien planets and battling monsters. My 386 at the time was too underpowered to make the game remotely playable.
> All irrelevant. How is any of this relevant? The extrapolation of your logic is that we should legislate against offending Muslims. That is the only outcome of your thought process.

For what it's worth, I don't see that as the only outcome of the logic in the GP's post. I read the point as: due to self-censorship, we essentially reinforce the notion that terrorism works to silence speech.

Not to put any words in the poster's mouth, but it seems to me that the solution to this problem is to accept the risk and generate more speech, and to prove that murder is not an effective way to stop such speech.

I was in Syria before the war(~2006) and there was no patriarch-dominance or extreme unemployment in Aleppo or Damascus. These cities had religious freedom and many Syrians were Catholic. I was fortunate enough to live with locals in both cities for two weeks. The poverty there is not an apples-to-apples comparison to the poverty here in the US or many other parts of the world.

There was some dissatisfaction with Al-Assad[1], but most Syrians supported him and continue to do so. This is not the first time extremist muslims have tried to overthrow him. I remember my hosts telling me he crushed a muslim rebellion in what I can only assume was the 80s or 90s

Thanks! I think you're right.

A lot of "learn to code" materials take the approach of just being "a Python book" (for example) with the result being that people don't get any CS background.

* Where is there an introductory book on CS, separated from some language?
* What beginner wants to learn abstract CS, separated from some language?

I think I like the book because it combines the CS with the Python - it isn't just a summary of syntax with exercises.
That's great and all until you consider that all parents are doing here is managing their buying decisions, so even the "threat" is low, so is the solution.

I'm pretty sure that quote was aimed at parents worried about e.g. third party kidnappings (which are insanely rare). Or who consider inoculations to be "dangerous" (without examining the danger of the other side).

Switching from one type of bottle to another may do "nothing" in the medium to long term, but it also costs the parent an inconsequential amount. As long as you aren't exchanging one somewhat unsafe bottle for a much more unsafe bottle (e.g. bottles made of lead) you're likely fine or breaking even.

Nothing wrong with "spiritual feelings". Atheists have them too. Clearly a mostly secular society is possible even with our biology/instincts, just look at Sweden or Denmark. No need to erase love, sorrow, pity, jokes or art to largely erase religious conflict. It's culture, and we can evolve culturally beyond our current primitivism. I'm with neals; I used to think we'd leave religion behind. Maybe some day "believers" will be a small minority. I hope so. I'm sad to say most of us will not see that day.
They have, sadly, been doing this on MacOS for years. It was like that in the Classic days as well, they were always one of the few companies who actually used an installer, and cleaning up after one was an annoying process of combing extension and preference folders for lingering cruft. Fortunately there were apps to help find useless leftovers, but it was still a pain compared to how otherwise pleasant the MacOS software experience generally is.

> If we look at someone who is born into a religion, lives their life holding those religious beliefs, and dies as a member of that same religion - is it valid to assume that they could have separated themselves from their beliefs?

Ofcourse that's fully possible. My parents was Christian. They raised me a Christian.

It wasn't until my late teens, when I got a job that I was exposed to a critical thinking crowd. They were very much willing to speak their minds, instead of showing religion some special-cased "respect".

It made me think. It made me reconsider. I'm now an atheist.

But oh boy was the period in between then and now a interesting one. Somehow just asking yourself "what if there is no God?" felt so incredibly wrong and the mind many, many times tried to stop itself thinking that very thought. Confusion is certainly not a sufficient word to describe what went on then.

Anyway today I'm extremely thankful that people didn't show me nor my religion "respect". They treated me with reason, rationality and critical thinking even though they knew it might offend me. Now that is showing someone real respect!

Or, more people (all those becoming unemployed because of advances in AI) will chase the little jobs remaining (those not taken over by AI), creating three classes:

A) the 1%: capitalists financing (and controlling) AI, will get phenomenal rewards once AI has taken over production of basic utilities, food, water distribution. Only political control will keep AI monopolies from appearing.

B) the 49.5%: those lucky enough to get a job in one of the areas not taken over by AI. They will have to be extremely competent, and lower their salary: they are competing in a very limited and not necessarily very complicated skill-sets (those skill-sets not taken over by AI) with 99% of the human population

C) the other 49.5%: those who are not making the cut to get a job.

(the sizes of the groups B & C obviously depend on the number of available jobs)

People will be able to move from B to C, but never to A (since building an AI empire from scratch is impossible, specially when capital has become extremely concentrated)

People in B are barely making ends meet, and people in C are in continuous existential danger. Political engagement drops to a minimum. Capitalists collude to create monopolies, raise prices and basically destroy democracy. The human race splits in two distinct classes, and the lower class is basically enslaved.

I agree there's an element of wondering with the tools. Part of the reason I use a bunch is to remove as much as possible. Even on the fifth scan, there are still things found. That's the cutoff where, in my experience, subsequent scans by other tools just don't find things.

I second the `what do you want to keep` sentiment, too. The downside to this is having them effectively sign off on what they want, and then they forget something until 6 months down the line.

And (ducking Godwin's law) if you accept the laws of North Korea, then thousands of people deserve lives of horror and torture for the crime of being born to a prisoner at a re-education camp. The question that I believe we should be asking is whether such laws are just and the punishment appropriate.

I'm still not convinced that work is obsolete or becoming dangerous... As long as humans have desires (whatever weird e.g. I want my hair to be the bluest and spikiest), and as long as these desires there are not the same for everyone, there will be incentives to exchange value, and while money is the unit of measure, work is the effort directed to get that value for you. Also, the side effect of all this is that me make things, so is work dangerous? Perhaps /we/ are, as work is a byproduct of our way of being.
Good question, to be clear, these agreements don't stop employees from leaving on their own volition but rather make it easier for the target company (the one being diligenced) to get damages from the potential acquiror if they aggressively hire away the target's employees.

In practice this often looks like an agreement to only speak with a defined, very small number of people at the target and to absolutely not initiate conversations with anyone else.
