You haven't proven that it can't be proven that 2 + 2 = 5. All you have proven is that if 2 + 2 = 5, then mathematics are inconsistent. Which they could be; you can't just assume math and logic are consistent.
Of course people will need to be informed on security and privacy on computers, but that doesn't require an understanding of coding. I know how to safely drive a car, for example, but I have no idea how it works under…
back up 200 years and replace plumbing with reading... Your argument isn't evidence for anything at all. There's a big difference between reading and coding: reading is a very useful method of communication. Everyone…
I don't think the example about the zombie is good evidence for children noticing things more than adults. As he says, the kids' favourite plant was The Chomper. Why would that be their favorite plant? The only…
Looks interesting, but you've got a contradiction on your signup page: the email is obligatory (which I personally don't like), but it says optional inside the text field.
I agree, but I think that with a great IDE for stack languages which would track the stack and the stack effects of functions, and display it all in a convenient way, most of the problem would be solved. It would be…
I mostly agree with what you're saying, but I also mostly agree with what the post is saying. The point is that you can learn to control your reactions to things, and it's a good thing. I used to be extremely stressed…
I've been through a process of changing my emotional reactions, and I think my experiences are interesting enough to share. Just to situate you, I'm in secondary 5 (I'm 16), and back when I was in elementary school, I…
Piracy is just copying information. The only "harm" it might do is make the person selling the information lose a sale that might never have taken place (I, for one, would not have bought the things I have pirated if I…
What I'm trying to say (and what I think jayzee was trying to convey) is that rbanffy's logic is flawed, and that just because pirating things is easy doesn't make it right. What we call pirating might be okay, but the…
I think his point was that just because a crime is easy to commit, it doesn't mean that it's okay to do it. Just because pirating things is easy, doesn't mean that it should be okay, in the same way that if getting guns…
