The Colorado Court of Appeals actually mentions a case involving a wedding photographer decided by the New Mexico Supreme Court, Elane Photography LLC v. Willock. NM SCOTUS decided even more strongly, arguing that the New Mexico Human Right

Even taking that line on face value (although I would argue that the rest of the quotes portray a different story), the distinction between "standard service" and "custom work" is nigh-useless when divorced from the cont

You claimed "the baker in your example was willing to bake them a cake. They were never denied a cake". That's 1) referencing a specific baker (the one GP mentioned with a definite article) and 2) a positive claim about that

This discussion has been rehashed over and over again, but you're wrong on the facts of this case. The owner claimed that he would bake any cake, but the evidence shows he refused before they discussed any styling or even what the cake

Fahrenheit was actually defined so 0 °F was the freezing point of brine, and 100 °F was roughly human body temperature.

For it to not be nonsense, you need to explain: a) How it's possible, even hypothetically for citizens to simultaneously have both "the right to speak their minds and voice their opinions in public" and "without fear of

Unfortunately, that guarantees the arc length of the slice to be constant (at pi inches), but not the total area (= d * 1/2 in). I believe this is why larger pizzas make more sense to cut into squares, as long thin pieces are harder to

Debian, Ubuntu, and Android names are all alphabetical, so you can tell which versions are newer and older. That's all version numbers are really useful for anyways.

Actually, because differentiation is a limiting process, this relies on the bounded convergence theorem or monotone convergence theorem. However, I imagine this would hold in most distributions under consideration.

>Cast iron has a much lower thermal conductivity I thought this was true (it makes some sense), but the data seems to show the opposite. This source has cast iron at 52 W/m-K, and 1% carbon steel at 43 W/m-K (0.5% carbon steel

One way I've found is to dig into C/C++ extensions to Python. The Python C API reference is very helpful: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/index.html It can be quite fun to implement a simple data structu

Sometimes it's used to mean "defined as". I.e. you're saying "Let <LHS> be the value computed by <RHS>", rather than saying "<LHS>, which is defined elsewhere, is equal in value to <RH

I agree it's impractical, but I believe you're double counting the force on the cable. Each end of the cable pulls with 1.3 MN, which means that the cable itself can be in static equilibrium (in the rotating frame of reference). T

If your operations are much heavier, then the cost of the loop condition becomes negligible. And if they're not as heavy as you thought (because the compiler's better at logic puzzles than you!), then you've wasted a whole lo

>The 10th root of x takes you from a measurement of an 10 dimensional object to the measurement of a 9 dimensional object. Doesn't it take you from 10d to 1d? For instance, 10^10 is the hypervolume of a 10-cube with all side lengths

Is this true? It looks like += compiles to four bytecode instructions: two loads, an increment, and a store. It should be possible for a thread to get paused after the load but before the store, resulting in a stale read and lost write. Som

It depends what you mean by 'undefined behavior'. The GIL makes operations atomic on the bytecode instruction level. Critically, this includes loading and storing of objects, meaning that refcounting is atomic. However, this doesn
