Your interpretation is correct, the intent is that they operate on a purely reactive basis. But it's a show of strength to assuage the public rather than actual security -- if there was an actual security risk then you would most defin

It is intentional. Automatic rifle toting soldiers in public places (eg: downtown Paris) are generally threatening, so, to emphasize their intention to operate those weapons only as self-defense, they remain unloaded until necessary. Loaded

Yes. It is a universal sign of non-violence unless in self-defense (including the defense of others').

Indeed. A muscular person at 185lb will burn more energy sitting still than their more rotund counterparts. Another thing to keep in mind -- muscle weighs more than fat. When participating in a workout regimen, some may be discouraged by th

65+ across the board is most definitely a burden -- those entering old age between now and 2030 are universally poor, underemployed, and in poor health, and there is no sign of it slowing down or getting better. They will rely on the young

Inequality between genders in Islam is a difficult subject to discuss without pointing out that many female Muslims in the Western world are afforded the same rights and freedoms as male Muslims -- indeed, Muslim women have achieved equalit

I'm not going to deny that many are judged based on their religious and cultural values, and that there are correlations between all Muslims that point to certain trends that some find alarming (eg: irrationality, lack of self-preserva

You are confusing Islam with the cultures of the Arabian Peninsula -- it may be the birthplace of Islam but Muslims have done much more than eek out a meager existence among sand dunes. Education curriculum, fairness, equality, social justi

Overly binding is subjective and many benefit from the strong social support provided by Islamic communities, and furthermore to feel jealousy towards other cultures is very un-Islamic. That said, I continue to assert that your arguments ar

Islam is unrelated to the emotional and intellectual deficits imposed upon victims of poverty and disenfranchisement -- not only that but I think there's a strong argument in that a task performed five times daily repeated ad infinitum

Exactly. Leaving off the return type annotation is just asking for trouble, and this example proves it. And the actual type of the const won't be `string | number` -- it will be `any`. MaulingMonkey[1] has the right idea, though. [1]

You are almost correct -- it's just that it's not a "safe" assumption. In your example, the JS interpreter will not throw an error when one provides a number (for example). Your code could break things. But why would thi
