These are related concepts since if violent blood could run through a persons veins, the person can be judged as more violent than they are. > I sit here, armed with this knowledge, and I think to myself quite shamefully, You can take th

Blood carrying what it physically carries is a fact no one is disputing. The concept that is archaic is that people strongly resemble their parents in character, because they are birth parents. The reality is that the nurture of the parents

Me saying blood doesn't carry character is like me saying we don't think with our hearts, like the ancient greeks thought we did. It doesn't mean I think we don't have a brain. It means I think bloodletting is disgusting

I'm not the biggest Hollywood fan, but what do you think about movies like Gattaca, Minority Report? We aren't even anywhere close to such fictional understanding of the role of DNA and nature-vs-nurture mechanics of human develop

No. Would you style me a creationist? Why?

Oh, good point. Lets judge people by their DNA now.

The notion that "blood carries" anything other than oxygen and nutrients seem archaic, intellectually offensive and as dangerous as racism.

Why do you say it's a simple method, if it is 150 lines long? Are some lines not necessary? There is a logic to keeping logic together if it is isolated: http://number-none.com/blow/john_carmack_on_inlined_code.htm

GuitarRig doesn't come anywhere close to Axe-FX either. I have both. GuitarRig runs on my macbook though :)

by Demiurge 12y ago
From what I understand and what I've read on Axe-Fx II emulation, it emulated the circuit components of the amps, including analogue ones, to emulate the signal processing. If that is true, I can see how some aspects of emulation could

Great! That would be an amazing resource saver and enabler for scientists as well as small companies, incentivizing the use of AWS, as opposed to in-house built systems.

It would be most useful if historical Landsat 7 data was also available, but of course that is a lot more data.

If you think that the hypothetical quote implies the author agrees with it, why? When thinking about how to deal with sexist society, is it not important to understand all behaviors, illogical, immoral or sexist, in order to make things bet

Lawsuits and punitive actions are not intended to directly change anything. This particular suit seems to be intended to compensate a claimed victim. Alleviating symptoms is not exclusive with prevention.

I don't think they are exclusive? I use CamelCase for object oriented methods, classes and under_scores for procedural code and temporary variables.

Since I've done cleaning, not moving, I think I can still suppose that it is quite different than farm work. I can see how it's physically hard, but I think I would actually prefer moving. When I move heavy stuff, and I moved prob

There are things I liked about it, like delicious food I grew myself, watering can be kind of fun, at the start... and I try to get out there. But picking weeds, digging earth, pushing/carrying heavy things... gets tiring even if it&#x

This article is very uplifting and easy to empathize with. However, I can only hope he ends up as happy as he might think he will. I've done farming when I was young as well as some manual labor jobs. It's not fun, you sweat a lot

It's not even uncommon to have projects compete inside a company, like linux vs osx for ios in the early days. And in-house or open source competition is much better than a typical commercial competition because the good parts from all

I made another comment already how it's trivial to start a web project with SQLite and migrate to a 'real' database, or continue to use it interchangeably for local development. But I also just realized, there is a whole ecos

This is something I thought before I actually used python. In practice, two identically looking pieces of code ARE. Yes, you can mix tabs and spaces, but not in the same block. The moment there is ambiguity the interpreter errors out. So, i

Seems like a deep exploration of visualizing math. However, I'm not able to quickly deduce whether any of this is useful to real world problems. Does anyone know?
