to be fair, there wasn’t much that needed blocking back then either. Mass tracking came about later.

I don’t believe I talked you down or stayed from a respectful tone, but if I made you feel like that I just want to say it was not my intention. In any case, have a good one!

The point I’m making is that a game of chess has a conclusion, a destiny if you will, in which you’ll lose even if you make a good choice right now. Real life is not like that, your choice to be healthy now does not mean you’ve lost the opportunity to do so in the future, ultimately leading you to your “destiny” of being unhealthy. That is victim mentality and we shouldn’t endorse it. Still, I completely agree that making the unhealthy choice has become easier in recent times, and we should strive to reverse that trend.

No it doesn’t because you’re arguing as if choices were dependant on one another. Choosing to avoid a coke one time doesn’t mean you’re now in a bad position to avoid another coke later on. It’s not about winning or losing it’s about building habits and keeping them, which I have agreed is made hard in some people’s environment.

So your point is that it’s difficult to resist the urge to buy sugared drinks due to distinct factors such as lack of information about it being unhealthy (which I seriously doubt nowadays) and people being psychologically manipulated through advertisements and making their product economically competitive. I agree some of these factors make it easier to be unhealthy, but I disagree that it’s enough to say people don’t have and make a choice. The choice to be healthy is just a harder one to make than it should.

How is choosing to buy a sugared drink instead of water the same as playing a game of chess against a grandmaster? What exactly about it makes your analogy fit?

Agree it’s a disease, but it’s also a choice. You choose to buy a big gulp when you crave it.

And if it gets to 100% loses, you can always borrow some more. It has to go back up eventually, it’s statistics.

Something being a crime and something being immoral are two different things.

Yeah pretty much. Not sure what you’re getting at? There are many projects with way more than 500 people involved.

Bro, sorry to say this, but you should think a bit about what the actual point is the person you’re replying to is trying to make, and reconsider whether you really are that much smarter than everyone else.

They probably do in “Manage preferences”. Stuff you can give to an intern to accomplish has never been a deterrent.

why not all babies? are you a pedo or something?

I think a lot of people, including me, lose interest during the first episode when the way the characters and story are presented is so contrived and all over the place you easily get lost.

Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones (up to season 5), The Office, Community, The Expanse

I’m sure there are a few more

People will seriously believe anything just to feel superior. No wonder most people spewing bullshit like this are losers in dire need of feeling like they’re worth something.

100%. TDD is just not practicably applicable to a lot of scenarios and I wish evangelists were clearer on that detail.

Not sure why you focus on arrays for deep copying. Deep copying objects is a problem in many languages and brings some challenges with itself that make it almost always necessary to delegate it to a library.

Get this man some water.
