But these are both great people who went through hell to great things. They could've awarded the peace prize to Hitler himself, and I'd still be thinking these awards are incredibly appropriate.
I wish I could've achieved as much as Malala when I was 17, and I can still aspire to achieve what Kailash did by the same I'm 60.
Sociopaths are a problem, but we're also facing people who think there shouldn't be consequences for how they attack others. That's not a symptom of anti-social personality disorders(they tend to know that what they do is condemned and lack the self control to stop themselves). That's strictly a matter of people who specifically think what they're doing is acceptable. Which suggests, as lots of people have said with various evidential justifications, that culture is part of the problem.
Anti-feminists, on the other hand, are only a problem in that they will cry "false flag" at literally every situation that implicates a culture hostile to prominent women, turning every discussion about solutions into long drawn-out dismantlings of their conspiracy theories.
More bullshit from the "people regularly threatening women in public is no big deal" crowd.
Nobody said women are "always victims" but you shits have absolutely nothing to attack unless you can craft fake arguments to dismantle. You're trapped in a room with straw walls closing in, and only you can dismantle, their evil insidious not wanting to tolerate misogynistic assholes in public spaces.
People are bigots to other groups too, and feminists, by and large are quite reasonable in their acknowledgement of that.
Who's not being oppressed? People who are being told that maybe they can't threaten the lives of women freely. Those people are meeting the boundaries known as "the law" and "common decency" and feeling just so oppressed by it.
If you just mod the camera behavior to use an additional input, you leave out a lot of important things.
1. The game has a "lean out of cover" button. When you physically lean, the game would need to discern if you're leaning out of cover enough to count for gameplay purposes. 2. There's 2 extra rendering steps to get the screen content to match up with the optics' skewing. Small problem, but still one that needs to be embedded in the code. 3. The framerate has to be really high to not cause motion sickness.
A. I certainly didn't say "only racism". It's more than a little disingenuous of your to imply I did, especially when I specifically cited another major factor. And I won't even pretend it's just those if you ask. B. Racism absolutely did play a role. Harry Anslinger, who you could consider the godfather of the war on drugs, put his racism about it in no uncertain terms.
Holy hell is this post ever going to come off as smug and condescending, but I have a point I want to make, and I can't express it less awfully.
Entertainment and intelligence are basically oil and water, most of the time. You can take brilliant writers who are very smart people, and they don't write "intelligent" stuff for mass market entertainment. They just focus their intelligence into making good writing that is evocative to everyone. I wouldn't expect a brilliant screenplay to expect everyone in the audience to make the kind of deductions I know some people are capable of, to tie everything together super subtly as some kinda cleverness test(though the occasional piece like that is nice).
In the same way, writers of all stripes(though mostly bad ones) write "smart" characters by filling their lines up with appropriate jargon. In some cases most familiar to slashdotters that means technobabble, but in others legalbabble, moneybabble, or psychobabble. They do this because actually coming up with intelligent things to say is hard and requires a lot of in depth knowledge of an appropriate field(there's an anecdote out there about the director of "A beautiful mind" expecting their math consultant to fill a chalkboard with genuinely intelligent math equations in an hour, as if that were no problem). And in the end that hard work doesn't come off to most people as nearly as intelligent as a bunch of nonsensical jargon.
That brings me to my thesis: real genuine genius is only interesting to people equipped to break it down and understand how it's novel. And that has a lot more to do with field-specific domain knowledge than intelligence. For example, anyone versed in math can tell you that the triumph for a brilliant idea comes when you have an new notion of where to start deducing things, not when you write the final calculation down. And the formulation of a clever computer program comes way back in the architecture phase, not a few lines of coded jotted out at the last moment.
You don't want it in most entertainment. It's nowhere near as satisfying as coming up with the right thing at the right moment to solve the problem facing you. It doesn't fit with the narrative format.
Nah, it's actually pretty important in that it's busting the chops of some really old Eurocentricism, that was still somehow moderately popular in Academia, namely that a lot of the things we associate with culture entirely originated with humans that migrated to Europe(frequently called Indo-Europeans). And this find basically asserts that art, at least, was more widespread and human that anthropologists were giving it credit for.
Now you're talking about templating, which is a way of temporarily setting aside type restrictions for the sake of brevity in a specific and clearly denoted context. Allowing something isn't the same as it being your only option.
Alright, so say you and I are both in the same graduating class of high school. For all intents and purposes we're the same age, but one of us is technically older.
The implications of one being the technically older find aren't important as far as anthropological inferences are concerned, but might matter for bragging rights of the countries and researchers involved.
No, strongly typed languages don't use duck typing. Even some weakly typed languages can still insist on interfaces being fully implemented. Python's duck typing falls apart specifically when the gate conditions don't update (possibly in distant parts of code) to match functional changes.
lol "Syntax that every programmer uses to make their program readable is unreasonable as a semantically meaningful syntax"
Come on, python's got its problems, but forcing you to lay out your program in a naturally readable way to compile isn't one of them.
For example, duck-typing might be one of the worst ideas in the universe, because it's doing the exact opposite of the whitespace thing. It's decoupling easy-to-make mistakes with the output of compiling of your code.
But this whining about whitespace just comes off as having never actually tried it.

Fuck anti-education assholes, and fuck slavery.
In the fact that it specifically threatens them with bodily harm?
Oh.
Yes and no.

Official support, though, does mean people calling your useless tech support. And taking their time.
"They" being me just in case you missed that.
Yes, I will guarantee the poster had no evidence to back up their hyperbolic claim of millions, not that the number itself was the point.
Yeah, but I'd contest that that claim is spurious
I think if you actually read the article, you'll find Sagan had *gasp* justifications.,
Disputed because wikiquote editors thought that "hispanic" wasn't in usage in the 1930s. Hm. Okay. Still sourced.
Two things that you seem to be off on here:
A. I certainly didn't say "only racism". It's more than a little disingenuous of your to imply I did, especially when I specifically cited another major factor. And I won't even pretend it's just those if you ask.
B. Racism absolutely did play a role. Harry Anslinger, who you could consider the godfather of the war on drugs, put his racism about it in no uncertain terms.
But my number was from the national institute of rectal studies.
Well, it's more valid than the status quo that imprisons millions of people for dumb-as-hell reasons derived from 1960s moral panics and 1920s racism.
Sure, if you smoke pot, you might end up like Carl Sagan, but you could also end up like Obama, Bush, or Clinton.
Do you want your teen to grow up and have 27% approval ratings? I thought not.

You're right. I was wrong there.

Yeah, and the great pyramids are just really big, really old, tombstones. People just tend to like old things, even if it's irrational.

You could at least look at the post he's replying to.

Taxation is kind of hard to see for phone support, since it's a cost center, not a revenue center.
No, I'm not talking about J#, which was a separate mistake whose cancellation lead to C# instead(which was much better).
