I used it to extract thousands of rows from tables in PDFs and generate enumerations for them in various programming languages. I had to do some pre-processing with the Python script, and review all the output to make sure it didn’t screw up, but it saved me a lot of time.

I’ll take what I can get.

I heard this.

Nope

I’ve read the series, and it’s not. The characters struggle with the (often nonsensical) established caste system and their role in it, and it’s intended as a mirror to real world caste systems and racial divisions rather than as a celebration of them.

Edit: from what I remember. It’s been a year or two since I read the Stormlight archives.

Too late. He’s had that idea since his first term.

The real answer is whichever is easiest. If you’ve got a master branch and it’s a pain to switch, then I wouldn’t do it. If you’ve got a badass coder who is disturbed by the terminology, then I’d say to do it to keep the peace. It depends on the situation.

I hate to throw out this old chestnut, but “correlation does not equal causation.” Just because religion existed in one form or another in almost every single culture, does not mean it’s necessary for morality. As I mentioned previously, lots of social structures existed in early societies that had things to say about morality. That doesn’t mean they were necessary precursors.

“Without the precursor of gender roles, there can be no morality.”

“Without the precursor of tradition there can be no morality.”

“Without the precursor of >insert social structure< there can be no morality.”

Some of our social structures have things to say about morality. Sometimes they’re saying"love your neighbor as yourself," and sometimes they’re saying “burn that city to the ground and keep all of the preteen girls as sex slaves.” Just because religion and spirituality have things to say about morality doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re worth listening too, and it doesn’t mean we couldn’t have developed a system of morality in their absence.

Without religion and spirituality, we may have developed a better, more universal system of morality, rather than the patchwork of haphazard and contradictory traditions we currently enjoy. We’ll never know, because religion was created early in our history, and for the rest of eternity, we get to listen to asinine armchair theologians tell us “without religion, there would be no real morality.”

Second that. I Am A Strange Loop is a fantastic book on consciousness.

Doesn’t matter if you did do it the windows way, honestly. Anything of any scale programmed in .NET has runtime reflection scattered everywhere, and that shit adds up.

Seconded. It’s pretty chill here.

Not anymore, it’s not. He’s immune from any sort of prosecution related to the job.
