It depends, but for most use cases... yes, actually.

"God" as a concept in unproven to exist, it is also impossible to prove, so for all intents and porpouses it doesn't exist.

Hard agree, modding is what makes games fun. What is the point of playing a game that I can't change the rules, the "board" and everything else? What the devs made I see it more as a canvas, a framework, a suggestion.

Yes, I could appreciate it.

I mean... isn't that the point of dark matter and dark energy? To be a stand-in name for stuff we have to account for but can't detect properly? The dark here means dark as in "we are in the dark about that".

It does not really matter if those exist or are an artifact of current theories, replacing relativity is not that easy and there are already a ton of physicists working on that anyway.

In the meanwhile of either having instruments capable of detecting these or a new theory that demostrates that those are artifact emerge... they have to exist. That's the point of them.

Are patents even worth today other than for the medical sector? Like, lots of things can be covered by copyright anyway. For example there is absolute 0 point in software patents, software is covered by copyright and society does not benefit for covering with patent law the parts that are not covered by copyright as they would be invented anyway, and a patent on non-copyrightable software stuff is the same as not being disclosed to the public as by the time the patent expires, it will most likely be too late, only thing it does is prevent other people from inventing it again, which I think is a worse consequence.

The only sector where I see that patents still make a lick of sense for society is in the pharmaceutical sector as medicines are very expensive to develop and would not be properly covered by copyright.

Maybe it is just me but I just fail to see the point of patents for anything else in the world of today, they are a net negative for society.

Not really because they are different monopolies. The IOS apps and Android apps are different markets

The promise of communism is that the worker owns the means of production, the worker, not the goverment. If the goverment owns your means of production, it's just a corpo disguissed as a country.

Sometimes I wish I was a gadget, then my life would be soo much easier.

Wow, it used very intersting vegetables, the very common E shapped cucumber and of course, the commonplace O shapped Tomatoe with a void in the middle. Very usual vegetables, can buy them in any grocery store.

Yeah, Steam is surprisingly pro-consumer in unexpected ways. Not like they don't have their closet skeletons but they present themselves as nicer than others companies in the videogame sector with their actions.

I wonder if it is because ideology from the top or just a very robust good-reputation based company policy.

Maybe it would be better if it worked by a system of strikes? Like if one of the accounts that you are sharing cheats, that account gets banned and yours get a strike, this strike means you and the other accounts that use your copy are more closly and harshly monitored but you can still play, if another cheat is detected in that copy then you get a ban.

This would give breath room for parents to explain to their kids that they should not cheat without leaving that much leeway for cheaters themselves.

The best one would be:

total = sum(map(f, data))

Not only does it take less resources as it only has to loop once because map creates a generator. This is absolutly the use case of map, if you want to apply the same function, which is already defined, to all members of a list/iterator, map is the correct tool for the job. Now if you wanted to apply a transformation that is not in a function there would be an argument to use a comprehension as it would be better than using an inline lambda in a map. But if you already have the method you want to apply, just use map() and then pass that to sum()

Chickens are indeed dinosaurs by all means, so sure, from chickens.

Justice without law is lynching

Law without justice is tyranny

I mean, there are situations where there could be a bit wiggling room to allow a neurodiverse person to break decorum a bit. For example, if someone has tourette they could be excused a bit the same way an autistic person can be excused a bit for not noticing a subtle social cue.

But there is a clear difference between allowing a bit of leeway to break decorum and allowing one to be a massive asshole.

I think there is a balance, like everything in life.

The thing is that the EU considers buying a non-exclusive revocable license not legal and classifies those as non-exclusive irrevocable licenses.

So they are going to put small ammounts of radioactive stuff in the horns of live Rhinos so that they are easier to detect at border patrols? Have I understood it right? Seems a little extreme to be honest.

If I had to describe ADHD to a layperson so they can understand what means to have ADHD... I would describe as to having something in your brain that you don't control that is always conspiring to get you to do nothing, if it fails to have you doing anything but what you want/should be doing; Wherever this is accomplished by making you forget, distracting you, robbing your willpower, making it hard to concentrate, making other things seem more appealing, hyperfocusing you in any random stuff, etc. Doesn't matter to the conspirator as long as they get you to waste time against your will, even when you want to waste time doing something you like, the conspirator will get you to waste time another way, for they are just a prick.

Of course there is no conspirator and I am just personifiying symptoms but that is about it what means to have ADHD on a practical levelm explained in words everyone can understand. There can be other symptoms that are not related to this like forgetting about contacting people you care about or the need to have something in your hands to fidget or not being able to remain sitted but those are secondary and very dependant on the person, the most debilitating aspect that almost every ADHD person has, just manifested slightly different, is that of stopping you from doing what you want/must do, worst is that some of that stuff you can willpower over it, but some you can't, willpower does naught when your brain makes you to temporarily forget that you were doing or you have to do a thing.

Worse stuff is that a lot of individual symptoms of ADHD are things that "happen" to everybody so they judge from their own experiences which is not fair as it is not the same when a non-ADHD person gets distracted or forgets things as when it happens to an ADHD person. Those comparations is like comparing a scratch to a wound that is spilling your guts, one you can shrug off, the other you can't.

My biggest problem is that the dark mode flashlight looks bad, I can see the difference in color between the flashlight image darkness and the darkness created by the shadow, he should change the color of the box shadow from #000 to #010101 so it matches better the black of the flashlight image.

Sure, in a normal monitor it is not noticeable but in a good monitor with good blacks and HDR it is super noticeable

Aren't those like 2d version of nintendo's MIIs? I mean, the eyes noses and mouths are very much like those of MIIs

The problem is that your theory assumes that people are always at their 100% and thus can work to improve their lot. That is simply not true,if you hold that view, you are honestly just wrong and I can't do anything about it.

Yes, really. It is not even a point of someone stealing because they are hungry, even if they did it just for the sake of stealing or some shit, it still would not be ethical to kill them because of that.

Essentially, the life of a robber is immeasurably more valuable than your amazon box, so unless they are a threat to human lives, you do not kill them to defend property. Arresting them is fine, but killing because of stealing is a nono.

Other thing would been if the robbers were armed and thus dangerous to the conductor and the like, in those cases, lethal action may be justifiable as a form of self defense.

bah, old people is the reason why we are climatically bad in the first place, its a downside they are going to have to accept.

> Does it make sense to assert that since wind farms are generally beneficial that we should not worry about drastically reducing or even eliminating golden eagles in California?

Absolutely, 100% yes, fuck eagles, who needs them when windmill can go brrrbrbrbrbrbrbr, in fact it would be even better to manually hunt them before even installing the windmills so that they do not damage them.

Both are to blame, but meat is more delicious than oil, so ppl prefer, with all the reason in the world to dunk on big oil. First we go and kill big oil, after that we can talk about killing big meat.

you are right, in any case it would be nerd birdshit

Im not netcan, but in my case... I am the inner voice, the inner voice is essentially the me in me, it is myself, the most basic and self, mind you, the conversation while 99% verbal can be non verbal, I can talk to myself in images and even concepts and have a dialogue/debate with that, its just kind of weird?

But the inner voice, at least from my POV is essentially the self, if you want to experience, just go to a bathroom with a mirror and try to debate with your reflection, it is essentially the same thing, ofc to debate with yourself you have to be able to debate points you do not believe in, like a lawyer or a politic, there is only you only a single opinion, but you are putting your opinion to the test, so you try to defend and try to attack your opinion and your acts, is like playing devil's advocate against your own opinions while you defend them, there is not two people or two wills is like talking to the mirror, is only you. It can also be used to essentially praise yourself if you do something good, or console yourself if you are sad or insult yourself drill sargent style to get that extra adrenaline to run the extra meter to not lose the train, you can also sign to yourself with that, which is horrible, s you will distill any song to its most catchy part and repeat it ad infinitum every moment like a very crappy self-sountrack.

Inner dialogue ofc can also be used for the obvious... simulate conversations with others if you know them well enough to have counterarguments against them available, is like thinking a comeback later but instead of later, before and instead of one, a lot of them, 99% never used.

Another use is that you can use your inner voice to repeat a thing constantly to nor forget it short term, for example holding into a 4 digit code that you can only read for 1 second and you have to remember a minute later, you can just read it the first second in your head "one two there seven" and just keep repeating it over and over in your head "one two there seven,one two there seven,one two there seven,one two there seven,one two there seven" until you need it, that way you can store a bit of info very short term without memorizing anything, I remember doing exactly this with a multiplication table math test when i was a kiddo, I was not able to memorize the multiplications with 7, so 2 minutes before the test i just started chanting the results of 27 up to 29 and when i received the test i just wrote that on the side(we were allowed to write stuff on the side) and thus i used my inner voice to sneak a cheat sheet into the test, I did similar stuff all trough my school years.

Yep, I mean, is a bit tricky, like an optical illusion that requires you to focus in the center, but if i focus enough, I can, imagining a whole person with all their details and overlaying it with my POV is quite hard and usually requires way too much focus, but just overlaying the image of a person over the same person in front of you is easy, specially if you are just changing the body and hands and face are already visible, thus not needing change. Is a bit weird to explain, is not like an allucination in the sense that it literally replaces your normal vision, is like overlaying another vision on top of your vision, it requires focus and you can tell the imaginary overlay is distinct from your actual visual stimuli but like with some optical illusions you can force your brain to just accept it and you see people nude, even if the nude models are not very detailed. The easiest stuff to overlay are ruler thingies tho, for example to extime distance you imagine a line similar to the letter "I" with a base on top and at the bottom of your reference and then you can copy paste a bunch of times and count them it to measure stuff roughly. That is the most common day to day use for overlay imagination I use, the imagining people nude is not exactly a everyday stuff. When I was a kiddo I used to use this to play with things that are not toys as if they were, for example I could pick up a 2L bottle, overlay the image of a rocket and play with it, same with a lot of other stuff that had somewhat similar shapes to things interesting for a kid, I still can do it, sometimes do in the bathroom while taking a very long shit.

For me this is normal and I tough most people were like that, like... the phrase about imagining people being nude is there for a reason... and kids do play with random stuff as if they were other things, people look at stuff and use it as a reference to visually measure stuff even if it is rough.

I mean, there is not that much difference between imagining inside the black void and outside, you are just moving it, the only thing is that outside it is fighting with your actual visual stimuly for attention so it requires a bit of extra focus or to anchor it to something similar, you know the visual illusion were there are pink spots but when you look at the center a green spot appear and eats all the pink spots until it is blank but the moment you ever so slightly unfocus from the center the pink appear again, it feels like that, the illusion is named "Lilac chaser" for reference, it feels kinda like that in the sense that if you lose focus, the effect disappears but if you focus yo can keep it?

IDK, as I said, I thought this was normal, so it is quite hard to explain? is not like imagining stuff in the black void, there one can easy mount a movie if they want, a crappy movie usually, but its possible, outside not so much, but it is still possible to imagine stuff there, just harder.
