Really? Over here we get the idea our taxes aren’t competitive to draw foreign investment and some of the big industry ones are on the verge of moving out, like VW.

I understand drawing in some service industry that doesn’t go to Ireland, but for the industrial sector sounds off to me. I am, however, not an economist.

A year ago I was surprised how large the Portuguese bicycle industry is, as I thought we had none. I assumed we wouldn’t be able to compete with you guys, but turns out the Dutch are that Big an importer

The junk replies, that’s something propped up by the users no? When we bump up posts that we like instead of relevant ones, those things get the visibility. I think.

As in, I don’t see what would be done besides tons of moderation or short post restrictions. Something I don’t find feasible

What would you have done differently, if you had the chance now?

I don’t expect people who can vividly imagine to be doing it all the time, kinda interpreted this as a cap. Still 1-2 distinction seems odd to me. Is it cartoon to realistic?

Black Samurai in Japan = woke. (even when historically supported and a specific fantasy game)

It’s fine, I wouldn’t want to work with someone who enjoys being forced to comment every line.

Lisboa. I don’t remember where but it was around the city.

I’ve seen a colour one like the one I posted below here in Portugal. It really is not an institutionalised thing, it’s just what the owner decides how wacky their place is gonna be.

I hope they get paid per line of code.

Reminds me of a job I had where c# summaries were mandatory and people used a documentation generator just like that.

/// Ages the Category. public int AgeCategory (…)

I’m with you but sometimes you don’t have the chance in low level. Max you can do is create local variables just so the bits you’re XORing are more obvious. And whenever you’re working with something where that’d be wasteful and the compiler doesn’t rid if it, you’re better off with comments (which you need to maintain, ugh)

Good code is self documenting as in you don’t need to describe what it is doing and it is clear to read. Whoever says that and isn’t just repeating what they heard understands that whenever you are doing something not explicit in the code it should be on a comment.

Workarounds and explaining you need to use this structure instead of another for some reason are clear examples, but business hints are another useful comment. Or sectioning the process (though I prefer descriptive private functions or pragma regions for that).

It also addresses the hint that the code should be readable because you’re not going to have comments to explain spaghetti. Just a hint, doesn’t prevent it. Others also said it, comments are easier to get outdated as you don’t have the compiler to assist. And outdated comments lead to confusion.

You do have start somewhere. Complex numbers have an impossible assumption at its core. But it needs to be falsifiable. You need to be able to prove it isn’t true and fail at it.

God exists and God is all powerful are a blanket check to solve everything, because it just does whatever you want it to and you don’t even try to prove it. 1+1 = 2 is a semantic axiom, not really equivalent to wilder assumptions you can do where those wouldn’t be comparable to there’s an all powerful something in existent in our reality that affects it at will.

It’s like believing there’s a multiverse, it’s not a useful axiom as it’s not measurable and specially not falsifiable.

It’s useful to keep an open mind and not discard people based on irrational beliefs, but God is something you can only accept in the scientific method if you bend or break the method.

Imo, That’s not even looking at the fact that any type of religious organization ends up being someone taking advantage of the faithful. It irks me to no end, and it’s rare to find faithful in a vacuum.

Think of a base and look up what highlights or contrasts it. Red or Blue calls for black or white, or maybe brown to beige. Green when dull calls for browns. Orange calls for black more than white, some darker blues or jeans too. Purple and violet like green, or grey or beige. Pink goes better with white than black. If you want several look at how flowers combine the multiple colors (besides all the green). Those are the combinations that generally are enjoyable to see.

Edit: I just wear black or blue as a base and add red as highlight most of the time. Red shirt. Red belt, white and red shoes. And for whatever else I have specific outfits I don’t mix with anything else. Somethings I look like a metal head with band shirts and long hair. The next day you’ll see me wear basics and light jeans with a straw hat.

Not sure if I’m taking the bait but here goes.

Science is a set of processes where you take belief out of the equation. You can start with something akin, which when you have informed belief you have an hypothesis which you set out to prove. You don’t hold that as truth and anything not falsifiable is not a valid hypothesis.

Science is not a religion, it’s just a thing. Plenty of people need to belief to function and end up having (even a blind) faith in science, using it as a religion.

On your second point I’m with you on the last part though I think you are calling religions and believes things that are organized religion and religion.

That’s what I thought too. But lo and behold

There’s a guy who bought 3 of this and set them as the lights for a rave at a venue, was pretty funny

Haven’t seen it done, but it’s just a matter of time
