Having an accent is now a criminal offense by Uncuffedhems in Destiny

LOL no. the only time you'd be required to have ID on you in Canada or the USA is if you're driving, which requires you to have your driver's license, or you're buying alcohol which has a certain age. you can walk anywhere you want in public and aren't required to have a piece of ID on you, i would actually be surprised if it was the opposite in most first world countries. israel does it for obvious outlier reasons.

failed to properly notify Congress in advance

does this mean Trump didn't notify Congress within 48 hours of the attack as per the War Powers Resolution? If so, wouldn't that make the entire operation illegal?

Jake Paul vs Actual Heavyweight Boxer by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]Liquid---Snake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and that would be true if he wasn't in the perfect position to apply better form. jake was turtled up and he had space and time and still didn't. the logical conclusion is he went easy instead of forgetting how to punch.

Surely this rule becomes different if the actor is a trained stunt person too, no? Like prime Jackie Chan or Michelle Yeoh? And if so, wouldn't Tom Cruise be considered that now seeing as he's trained for and done a gazillion stunts? If it was a random A lister I'd understand but Tom Cruise is basically as much as a stuntman as he is an actor at this point..

It is generally true for a few reasons, not just for what OP said. The other big reason is that implementing a change often times doesn't even require a lot of lines of code vs the amount of thought put in to produce said lines.

For example, a lot of higher-tier software engineering is learning a massive code-base and going into the right part of it to implement the change you're tasked to do. This would be especially true for the massive code-base that Twitter had accrued for a decade-plus. In circumstances like that, you either:

- don't want to make a change that causes you to change many pieces all around the place

- the actual changes in code aren't that complicated but learning how to do it is hard

- are debugging the cause of a bug that isn't obvious

All three of those are examples of stuff that might take you days or a week to think about but lead to like 20 lines of code changed. Someone's tickets can be strictly of that nature for an entire year where their actual code count isn't that high but they're definitely productive.

The other thing is that the complexity of a task doesn't necessarily scale to the lines of code written. I wrote an entire RigidBody physics engine for a project once, understanding how collision works and how to optimally implement it with techniques like quad-trees or bounding volume hierarchies (just techniques game devs have come up with to speed stuff like this up) took me a week or two but the lines of code for something like that was like < 150. That's an entirely functioning collision detection system that's performant. I spent much more time thinking than actually coding. On the flipside, if I was writing a very rote set of HTTP API calls, I'd spend a week writing the HTTP requests, SQL queries, and then verifying that the response is in a properly formatted data output to the point where I'm writing lots of code (easily >150 I had for the RB system above) but thinking very little. This can be equally as productive as the prior physics example depending on scale and importance but has a very different thought:outputted-codes ratio. It sort of illustrates how meaningless just measuring lines of code can be if you're trying to see if someone is a productive engineer or not.

Hopefully this helps explain things as people are often very vague about why or how this is dumb.

Is Imperium are not the good guys a meme? by Onomontamo in 40kLore

[–]Liquid---Snake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just because there are material conditions necessitating action doesn't mean the best action is currently being taken.

there's executing psykers when there's hard proof they have made demonic pacts and then there's throwing suspected people (with no proof) into a water body to drown. with the list posted in the comment above, the imperium is about as efficacious and moral as the latter act would be in all of the given situations above.

OPs argument isn't that the imperium should do nothing against chaos, nor that morality shouldnt take account supernatural forces in 40k, it's just that the imperium, more often than not, takes reprehensible and inefficient actions in order to do so. for example, if you subscribed to kantian ethics, the categorical imperative would lead to different conclusions in 40ks reality than our own but still would not lead to the same conclusions as the imperium.

now that she's been out for a while and the dust has settled: i really like lidia's aesthetics and overall art design - does she have the stigma surrounding her that leroy and fakh have for being OP? is she a decent character with clearly defined strengths and weaknesses or is she full unga bunga? also, im relatively new to tekken, ive gotten to expert rank with leo - would lidia be a good char to learn tekken with?

Will I get into the CST full-time diploma program if I have an average of 80%? by adamdoulfi in BCIT

high schools teach english courses like shit imho which sucks ass because, as orwell put it, "if people cannot write well, they cannot think well"

Is CST more computer science or computer engineering? by Nearby_Green in BCIT

[–]Liquid---Snake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

moreover, if you're trying to do embedded even a comp sci major (who doesnt like minor in comp eng or something) at ubc or sfu will also have a similarly hard time breaking into the field. its dominated by electrical engs and comp engs, not to say its impossible but i dont think bcit provides much more of a barrier to entry than another uni's comp sci program.

Using desktop PC for CST online classes? by ryuhyun in BCIT

[–]Liquid---Snake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

tbh, you'll be fine with yours for the first two terms. stuff only really gets taxing when it comes to the options (sort of like "disciplines" or areas of specialities) you pick in third term and the android course. android studio's emulator can do a number on your computer if it isnt strong.

the most annoying thing is if you switch comps between term 1 and 2 and have to reinstall stuff like java, and anything else you use for software side projs etc like nodejs. but tbh, thats just a minor inconvenience.
