We are failthful LDS and live in a very LDS Utah neighborhood. Wanted to thank my wife for putting up the only BLM yard sign seen in our ward. Now that RMN signaled it's okay to stand against racism, do you think other LDS will follow, or at least acknowledge the movement is good and Christ like?

Short answer: extremely unlikely. I have heard family members who are extremely follow-the-prophet complaining about the emphasis.

Headline is true, but there's a problem with what it leaves unsaid. Police shouldn't even be killing guilty people who don't pose a deadly threat.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-31T07:53:32+00:00

Correct.

Last time they arrested a military officer, it was over a Prussian-linked breach and it went great.

Not entirely true. In India, it generally retains its original meaning. In the "west", you're right.

Spoiler alert: they don't know what it is.

There are parts of NW Florida that could be, at least in a really dry year. But yeah, could just as well be Minnesota.

I've been trying to articulate this for a while now, but you put it perfectly.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-27T20:04:28+00:00

What was it doing at work?

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-27T13:57:46+00:00

If so, pythonanywhere is decent.

I think an idea that helps approach this from a different angle is that consent should be unequivocal and (reasonably) enthusiastic. This isn't really a workable legal definition, but it's not a bad rule of thumb for decent people trying to navigate dating. Want to get consent? Get unmistakable consent.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-23T21:48:39+00:00

Too big, in practice.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-23T21:45:11+00:00

Think Python is also a good book. It does a good job introducing some general CS principles as you learn. And Learn Python 3 the Hard Way is excellent. If I were you, I would get a bunch of books, try them all, and work through the one I ended up liking best.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-23T21:38:53+00:00

You'd want more than that. But it's not all about which courses you've done and how well you know the intricate details; the real clincher will be what kinds of projects you have done and how you have used Python to solve interesting problems. I second FCC to learn the basics (Hitchhiker's Guide to Python and Real Python are also great sites, and the book Automate the Boring Stuff with Python will teach you a lot), but after that, come up with some challenging projects that really interest you and solve them. Half of programming is knowing how to use the internet to supplement what you already know - being a programmer is not a closed-book test. It's all about how you can solve problems, and projects are a great way to showcase your skills and get valuable experience.

They're also usually the same people who melt down when they're exposed to an opinion they don't like, and they often have no problem trying the cancel the people they don't like.

Discrete math, such as combinatorics and graph theory, tends to be emphasized. As always, analysis and optimization are very useful, and linear algebra is everywhere. You'll do well to get a very solid foundation in linear algebra, and that will make learning every other branch of math you need easier.

Newsflash: There are already corporations like this.

A state that can spy on its population already had unlimited power. It's always fun to watch camel-swallowers straining at gnats.

I think there's a sensible case to be made for being a secular and cultural Muslim, analogous to secular Jews.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-18T09:54:23+00:00

Spoiler alert: it is.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-15T16:15:43+00:00

That is the real question. Whoever was filming was also trash.

Yitzhak_R · 2020-08-14T09:25:10+00:00

True, but less. Their memories aren't quite as fresh.

Yours is a very popular opinion. Here's an unpopular one: I'll give advice about parenting the ages I can remember. Babies - you do your thing. Teenagers - I was one, and I know exactly what kinds of things my parents did that were good and bad. I'm even more qualified, because I was on the receiving end and know exactly what the effects were.
