Most historians have more important things to deal with, like, for example: history.
There is a vanishingly small proportion of historians who run around arguing about the evidence for the New Testament Jesus, and they write an awful lot about very weak secondary sources.
I'm not sure which logical fallacy that one falls into. Maybe we need a new one.
The fallacy of the missing documentation. It could work for software too.
The Wikipedia page talks plenty about how convinced scholars are (who have a vested interest in that answer) but doesn't actually cite any evidence. It doesn't pass the sniff test.
>Virtually all historians, whether Christian, atheist or of some other religion, hold that a man Jesus existed, even if his biography is just so much myth accreted around the historical figure.
All the honest ones are clear that there is no direct evidence and many of the myths clearly relate to different people at different times. There have been many people names Jesus. With high probability, there has never been magic Jesus, born of a virgin, 2000 years ago, who could perform miracles.
Well it's gone. I deleted it. If I could remember the name I'd say it. There are hundred of such widgets in the Google play store. Just pay attention to the permissions when you install or upgrade something.
Recently I've had a spate of 'updates' to android apps that are asking for me to approve additional privileges.
One instance was a button on the main page to turn wifi on and off (rather than digging into the settings menu). This was quite useful. Then it got an update and wanted access to post on my behalf, the internet, my phone lists and a bunch of other things. So I uninstalled it.
This has happened several times. I'm guess it's a common attack vector.
>Most of their internal systems are still green-screens, FFS! So it probably works.
The POS in my wife's yarn store is text mode (python+curses). It makes it a heck of a lot easier to maintain and you can log in from anything with ssh.
Your volume knob doesn't have anything to do with the noise floor of the room and your ear. Certainly it adds some noise of its own, usually more than the quantization noise of the LSB of a 16 bit DAC with is in the same amplification chain, but is quite possible to do better if you pay attention to low noise electrical design.
In other words, I don't see a technical reason that 48KHz is better than 44.1KHz audio in the playback chain. It certainly has marketing merit, just like directional speaker wires and monster cables.
>You'll get fewer dithering artifacts at every frequency. Interpolation and decimation are in every DSP course. The frequency ratio don't matter.
>But more importantly, bumping from 16-bit to 24-bit. You're changing the subject. Nevertheless, the quantization noise floor at 16 bits is below the noise floor of your ears coupled to a room. 24 bits is handy during mastering because you can add and re-normalize without clipping.
You are claiming I claimed something I didn't claim. At no point did I claim they were the same thing. I said they were connected, which they are. My point was completely on topic. The topic was the assertion that JS and DOM are independent. My assertion that for all practical purposes they are not.
That you could replace JS with a different language is irrelevant. The combination of +DOM would still stink because DOM stinks.
There is no credible evidence that dousing works. I've yet to see a single credible randomized trial that shows any statistical confidence that dousing things makes them wet.

Jesus doesn't get special treatment. I'm saying the available evidence for the biblical Jesus is very weak. It is. That was the subject in the title.
The evidence for the last 3 popes is considerably stronger but if you want that answer, start a thread about the existence of evidence for popes.
That's the way it is.

Actually it is the response of people to other people that has had a great effect.
At least I can claim to have done less damage. Yet.
He lived well.

Beavis Maven taught you to type?
Or was it Beacis Macon?
Or was it Meavis Bacon? I like bacon.

It broke. Maybe to encourage me to 'upgrade'.
But he certainly was hungry.

But I could use a better language outside of the browser. JS isn't a terrible language, but it's no Python.

>why? why do you want it to stop? does it make you feel you age? or do you think technology shouldn't move on?
I think they should concentrate on making better monitors. 10,000" TVs from Costco are done. No living room can contain them.
So was I.
"LSB of a 16 bit DAC"
I've not noticed that to be true. I'll consult my Roku tonight.

You're changing the subject. Nevertheless, the quantization noise floor at 16 bits is below the noise floor of your ears coupled to a room. 24 bits is handy during mastering because you can add and re-normalize without clipping.
Unless it was Oracle.
Fine.
Cibachrome was still awesome though.
But no information is lost relative to what you can perceive.

I would say now is the time to get out. But don't take investment advice from me.
