In Denmark where I’m from we’ve just held mayoral elections and an interesting thing happened that highlights how much voting systems matter. In one particular municipality a party got enough votes that they had more seats in the local legislature than to hey had candidates. This meant that they appointed someone from a different party to the final seat. They got more votes than they could represent themselves so they chose who they thought most aligned with them and appointed that person. No votes were ignored due to happenstance, there were clear rules to handle it.

Now I very much do not agree with this party and I’m saddened by their popularity in the area, but such is life in a democracy.

If you want to say that god made concessions to man go ahead. He still instructed them in how to hold chattel slaves and implied that they could do so ruthlessly, only restricting them from doing so to eachother.

Leviticus 25:44-46

44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

What would you say: is buying slaves from the nations that surround me still right, did god instruct people to do wrong or did right and wrong change?

My last post was yesterday so I don’t know what you are talking about inactivity. It may be that you don’t see them due to language filters I guess.

I came across your comment which seemed to display either a severe misunderstanding or egregious bad faith. I wanted to call it out while making it clear why your comment was so wrong. Whether you want to continue the conversation is up to you. If you do, that’s great, if you don’t then my comment is there for others stumbling across it like I did.

You don’t think about 47% to 64% of the population holding a position counts as widespread? Then I guess your 69% favoring getting hostages back over continuing the in the here and now aren’t widespread either.

Yeah, why doesn’t Israel just let the trucks waiting at the border in? I wager it is the same reason they stopped the flotilla.

Agreed, but funny coming from a ca instance with the Canadian indigenous boarding schools famously continuing into the 90s as well.

It’s about time that we (Danes) take responsibility for the incident, not only by apologizing, but also by giving reparations.

I’ve used Godot a bit for hobby projects and I like it. I have only experimented with 2D games but it is the simplicity and flexibility of the scene system that really sets it apart for me, so that should carry over to 3D I imagine. I used Unity in the past (half a decade ago) and compared to that Godot feels more coherent as concepts just fit together in a way they didn’t in Unity. Once you understand scenes and how they communicate you can get pretty far. To achieve the same in Unity I had to learn of and understand more concepts to make it work. This may however also be colored by the fact that my learning Unity and learning programming overlapped so I didn’t have as much background knowledge back then.

As mentioned by another user it’s likely about the organization Palestine Action being designated a terrorist organization. This has caused about 700 arrests due to people protesting the designation of a group that never killed or hurt anyone as terrorists because they splashed some planes with red paint. Last time I heard an additional 60 protesters were arrested for supporting Palestine Action and officials said more arrests were likely coming.

Yeah this impromptu AMA has been quite an interesting read

It’s like a clicker game but with scrolling and depression. I’ve attempted to get all the way through it multiple times, but never succeeded.

I got an education in software engineering, not computer science, and my experience is in line yours. I had a few courses about fundamental computer science concepts but most of my education was in learning a little about many different areas of software engineering, specializing in a few. Most of the education involved working as part of a software team, using tools of the trade, applying common design patterns and that sort of stuff, even when courses weren’t explicitly about that.

I would never call myself a computer scientist, I don’t have the education for it, I however immediately had a software engineering job ready after graduating and felt prepared for it from day one.

I love what computer scientists do within the theoretical domain because it eventually seeps into mainstream languages and tools, in a way I benefit from. I’m just not involved with it myself, beyond when it reaches practical application.
