Religion is the root of hate and intolerance, if you look at what has been carried out in the name of religion, it's horrid. On the short list and in the front of any rational humans mind is Mother T, killing machine extraordinary and Hitler, both who took MILLIONS of lives in the name of the church.
Why bother mentioning this?
Well if you're going to claim that you need your religious beliefs protected and respected, then you better come to the table with one hell of an offer as to why. Religion is the reason that same sex marriage was even a question, it was the reason why we should be allowed to lie to children in a classroom, it's the reason why people are put to death because they believe differently, it's the reason why we have generalized hate.
If you want me respect your literally bat shit crazy religion beliefs then you have to provide me equal or greater evidence then I can provide you to the contrary. It's time to get rid of religion, it's the security blanket for the immature, irrational and illogical adult. It's the reason we have hate and intolerance and it teach kids and adult that giving up and giving in are perfectly acceptable even when your final answer is just WRONG.
Gender balancing is the wrong concept at play, it doesn't matter if a female / male does 0% of a project or 100% of a project, it's a meaningless percentage to take. The very fact that you've broke the system down to look at it as a percentage of work means that you're concept of fairness isn't genuine. Fairness means you extract the very fact that a person is a man or woman and just see them as human, a human wrote this, a human wrote that, not a male or female. All these tests prove is that we need an excuse to not be sexist, well the only people who aren't are the people who don't need a test to be fair.
Forcing students to learn coding is like forcing students to learn Shakespeare, it's pointless to some and great to others. We need to radically restructure the education system so we teach towards the strengths of students and not force them to take some of everything.
This is why we need to stop letting stupid ideas rule the universe like it's a right. Generally the type of people who being in Homepathy also believe in Gods, Spirits, Ghosts, Magic and all manor of bat shit crazy. Didn't science fix this problem century's ago? If you can't repeat the test with verified results then it doesn't work, what ever happened to teaching this line of reasoning?
Maintainability, Readability, Object Oriented and all the other catch words associated with software development are all just lipstick on pigs. Software development isn't beautiful and you don't write software to win a beauty pageant. At the end of the day your software needs to be fast, stable, secure, expandable and dependable, anything that doesn't assist those goals needs to go.
What did this study think it was going to achieve? You can have the most readable and maintainable code in the world but if doesn't preform, then who cares. It's time to stop wasting time on catch phrases and return to the time when software development meant getting good code out.
How is this a contest? If I'm doing anything on a server, the last thing I'm going to reach for is Java. Java is slow, bulky, contains more overhead then functionality, eats memory for breakfast and basically breaks all concepts of what a good programming language can be. Servers need speed and reliability, well I can't argue about reliability, I can about speed. I don't care if you're stable, if you eat 20% of my system memory and make my server feel like a sports car in mud.
I think Toronto should get rid of cabs period. Being a Toronto resident I can tell how bad the cab infection has got around the city. They don't follow the traffic law, they don't drive safetly , they don't drive with common sense in mind and they completely fuck rush hour and add 10s of minutes to the commute.
Toronto should either get properly trained cab drivers or move to Uber.
1) How evolutionary theory influenced Adolf Hitler's worldview:
Hitler was a roman catholic who blamed the Jews for the putting Jesus to death, that is why he enacted revenge. He later converted to atheism, but atheism had nothing to do with why the holocaust started. It's also important to note that evolution never played a roll in the holocaust.
2) why "the Big Bang is fake,"
This is a common topic by the creationist, the big bang is fake because something can't come from nothing. Except God came from nothing or always existed, either breaking there logic from the big bang or breaking common logic and creating a massive paradox. It's also important to note that if the universe can't come from nothing but God can, God would be at a higher informational state then the universe, so basically the creationist believes that you can't create a universe, but you can create higher order and information then the universe out of nothing. This is the single worst piece of logic used by the creationist.
3) Why "natural selection is NOT evolution."
Natural selection can't be part of evolution because we've never seen one speices evolve into another. Well if this is there logic, we never saw anyone write the bible, we never saw Jesus, we never saw God, etc.. etc.. etc.. another flawed piece of logic from the creationists.
Why on earth do we put up with this non-sense. Creationism is NOT science, it's not viable and it have absolutely zero evidence in it's favor. It's religious driven dogma that harm life, dignity, morals, rationality and ethics. I'll put to the creationists to show me ONE piece of hard evidence that backs up the existence of God. Keep in mind you can't cause a paradox or use the infinity logic. Go for it, I really want to see someone be the first person in history to take this on.
It's amazing the iPhone sells, it's old technology outfitted with pointless style, but I guess if you want to brag about getting the hardware I had last year then cool.
C, ASM, COBOL, PHP-8 / 11, Fortran, Perl, Bash, SH, PHP / Rails and Java. If you know those then you'll be set for pretty much anything you'll find in the real world.
It doesn't matter how much lashing you take from managers, co-workers or senior management. If something is wrong you need to point it out and stand up until it's fixed ( usually meaning you fix it! ). I was a on a project where my boss insisted on outsourcing all the programming to India to save money, it took over a week of arguing with him to make him realize that saving money doesn't make up for quality. I've been on other projects where marketing gets to set the requirements and managers pretty much adhere to "If marketing wants it, they will have it". In all cases the role you have to play is the same, stand up to people and tell them they need to fix the steaming piles of shit now before it snow balls. If you get fired for being right and standing up then good, it proves you have more integrity then the company did, if you get verbally beat down then it usually means you're right and should keep pushing back until something is done.
It's not luck, why would luck dictate my ability to quantify the amount of spacial reference around me and react? Granted that driving in India of China might be a different ball game but I still fail to see why I would need super human ability to text and drive, driving is only about taking in the amount if matter around you and reacting to it, something which a human brain is pretty good at, texting is simply typing a message and thanks to all keyboards being standardized you should be able to do that with out looking at the screen, so I fail to see your points, you're either a bad driver or you believe the lies about non-existent distracted driving.
The fact is that 99.99% of what we use PC's for can be done on Linux, in fact 99% of the server room can run on Linux with out effort. It's time for Microsoft to admit we don't need them.
There is no such thing as distracted driving! There are bad drivers, incompetent drivers, morons, assholes and people who should never of been given a license in first place but there is nothing called distracted driving. Just because you can't use your cellphone and drive doesn't I can't, I could have 20 naked women all grinding me and still drive a prefect straight line well taking in everything in my environment, which doesn't mean that if another person, in the same situation, crashes it's distracted driving. Just as video games don't cause violence, Atheism doesn't cause a loss of morals, cell phones don't make you a bad driver, you either are a bad driver or you're not.
All this talk about how to handle cell phones in the car is just silly, don't do anything! It's not up to the car or police to control phone use in car, it's up to the driver to realize that they have no control of a car well texting or calling. Yes people have died as a result of someone using a cell phone well driving, but in reality they died because the person behind the wheel was given a license when in fact they shouldn't of been. A cell phone has never caused an accident, only a driver can cause an accident, can we start calling out piss poor driving and stop trying make excuses. Bad driving is the problem, don't make your cellphone take the fall for the fact you can't drive.
Atheism means that you believe it's more probable for the universe then create itself then it is for a pedophile, misogynistic, sadomasochist, asshole, to create the universe 6000 years ago and you exist now thanks to incest, murder, killing, abuse and rape. If you want to believe in the literal bible then please go ahead, but you don't look intelligent, rational, mature or even like an adult. The same goes for Islam, Judaism and any other religion which claims to have the answers.
Well the US acted in 1960 to place the embargo, we're still waiting for them to actually think it through. It's funny that Cuba actually has a better medical system then the US, and it's state funded, probably what the embargo was about in the first place.

They can't make the hardware all one colour and uni body construction.
If the code does preform like Gold after being re-factored then it wasn't needed, period!

Because you don't understand how to use memory properly so lets make it the compilers problem :-)

Simple, grab a copy of K&R and all you need is GCC and a terminal.
Hip hop, reality TV and religion. The most dangerous combination in history.
Big deal Linux has had this for a long time.

This isn't a troll comment, she actually is the worst thing to happen to Ontario ever.
