There's was nothing evident pushing the police officer to fire his weapon on those two men. Waiting for a specialist for what appeared to be a dangerous situation might have saved the the guy's trouble of being shot for no reason.

You don't go to court unless you've been charged. I would imagine it's hard to keep your job as a police officer if you're charged with a crime every time you have a violent encounter with a person. You speak as if there

Telling people that every time they perform this one particular action they will immediately be punished, regardless of the situation, will only result in worse problems than you are trying to solve.

I don't necessarily think they should get much more training on it. They have specialists for that. That training should only be how to identify such a situation and contain it. Then call in the expert to deescalate. For some reason th

This was a serious problem with the situation though. He was eagerly complying but his continuing speaking to the officers was due to his concern of the other guy who was likely unable to comply with the officers that currently had their gu

What you just described is not a problem of cops shooting people for "sport". It's a serious training problem. The shootings as "sport" IS a media invention for clickbait stories.

Although I agree that there are a large number of unnecessary police shootings, I would not define it as "sport" by cops. That's the easiest way to get someone to dismiss you than to get them to listen to your point. No such

I really doubt that. If true, the land would be littered with the bodies of people who did something stupid in front of police officers. Considering the number of interactions that cops have with people and the percentage of people doing so

Why does that matter? There have been major projects backed by a company that have gone away. There have been major projects backed by one person that have been around for years.

Which is exactly why I think it's a rather unfair comparison. They are two different things that may have the same outcome.

Growing up in the South it's fairly common to see that many people think that the fruit you won't eat from the hand, for whatever reason, are often better for certain recipes of desserts and preserves.

From what I understand it's more of a delivery or logistics problem and its variations. Sometimes it's not worth it to certain people to deliver the food and in some cases someone takes the food before it arrives.

I don't like the idea of an attribute affecting things that applies what is essentially a CSS property. Besides, any IE version before 11 doesn't seem to support it. Most can't use it yet. Best case is that you don't hav

I'm sure someone will latch onto this as an example of why CSS sucks.

Twice the tokens, don't care. Twice the disk space, who cares? Twice the cognitive load, I guess I have a high tolerance. Still don't see a compelling reason one is better than the other.

Crap, can't edit. Two others completed the accordion in 3 lines task without jQuery.

As pointed out, yes it is indeed Javascript. If you make use of it then you cannot claim your code is shorter in lines by choosing to not include the jQuery code. I've written a couple of small jQuery plugins and I don't claim I w

No, it's people becoming not being able to know the difference between jQuery and Javascript. Calling either of them the other is a disservice to both.

by talmand 10y ago
Since two others have completed the task with literally "3 lines of Javascript" then I'm not being disingenuous at all. I requested the 3 lines was given roughly the same example by two different people. And I know the trends

Thank you, exactly what I was hoping to see instead of the usual arguments that don't actually fulfill the request.

Someone has to decide to make the information classified, it doesn't do so on its own. It's possible information can go through the chain all the way to the President before it's marked classified.

If it involves jQuery then it is not 3 lines. The original claim was 3 lines of Javascript. Making a claim something is only 3 lines of Javascript without including the fact that jQuery is required is a disservice to the many people that ma

>> So 3 more lines. If I said you can write a very verbose accordion in under 20 lines would that be good enough for you? Since that's more realistic, yes that would do nicely.
