UnholyMudcrab posted... Which is why he should have brought it up with the judge if he had doubts. There's a process for this, and he didn't follow the process.Again, how is that worse than someone who doesn't understand something AND doesn't look it up AND doesn't ask the judge about it? The ultimate arbiter of truth is however they got their preconceived notions before they even entered the courtroom. --- |

1337toothbrush 07/01/21 10:47:16 PM #63 | UnholyMudcrab posted... You can't just assume that the information he got from the internet is true, which is what the people in this topic seem to be doing. The information that jurors are basing their decisions on needs to have come from the trial evidence, and the juror taking matters into his own hands and introducing this unverified information to the rest of the jury out of court makes that impossible."There was a suggestion that the patch was a trade union logo." So the other jurors who simply accepted the suggestion would be better informed? This is strict adherence to a non-sensical ideal. Everyone has their biases and everyone has their own way of interpreting events and evidence. The courtroom is not in isolation and to pretend that it is would be foolish. --- |

Because it creates bias on the part of the juror, it prejudices the jury as a whole, it doesn't give the defense a chance to respond to that piece of evidence, and it can't be verified whether the information is even true in the first placeInstead the juror being biased by the prosecutor's crafted reality is better? --- |

1337toothbrush 07/01/21 9:24:32 PM #35 | In order to write code, you need to know two things: 1) What you want to achieve. 2) How to get there. 2) outlines the steps and 1) provides validation. Let's go over the steps in the code sample where you're replacing all vowels in a phrase with the letter "g" or "G" (matching case with the original vowel): You need a variable to hold the result, so you declare: translation = "". Now this line is doing two important things. First, it's defining the existence of a string and second, it's assigning it the value of an empty string. When crafting algorithms, you need to account for different cases. Let's say the variable phrase is an empty string. In this case, you'd return an empty string as well. This is considered the base case (a trivial case that acts as a base). This is covered by starting translation off as "". Additionally, you need a data structure that can store the data that you append. You can append to that string as you go along, like you do in your code. What follows is the general case (what your algorithm is doing in general). To translate, you need to go through phrase character by character, hence the line: for letter in phrase:. The inside of this loop is the critical part. What do you intend to do with every single character in phrase? Well, the algorithm checks against vowels and then does the appropriate action. Now why would you first set the letter to lower case? Because your string of vowels is also lower case and you want the algorithm to work on both lower-case and upper-case vowels in the string phrase. Things like that inform you on what functions you need to use and when. --- |

Topic | What language should I learn? |
1337toothbrush 06/29/21 12:20:42 AM #11 | Depends on what you want to do. Do you want to visit certain countries? Are you interested in media that is in that language? Do you know someone or some people you'd like to communicate with? If you have a more directed goal then it'll be easier to keep going, otherwise you may just flounder with an unfocused objective like "don't be monolingual". Anyway, if you just want "most useful" then I assume that'd be Mandarin Chinese given how many speak it and how China is the second-largest economy in the world and well on its way to becoming the first-largest. --- |
Topic | ITT: Learning Python |
1337toothbrush 06/28/21 11:43:31 PM #24 | First line makes a call to input() which takes a string that you want to display to the terminal and returns what the user enters into the terminal. That gets assigned to the variable characteristic. You input "light" so now characteristic == "light". It hits the line --if characteristic == "light":-- which resolves to true, because that is what the variable is holding. However, you make a call to the print() function. print() takes in a string and writes it out to the terminal. So the next output you see is "exemplary individual". Finally it gets out of the if-block and hits the next print statement: --print("You look like a " + characteristic)-- Remember that characteristic is still holding the value "light", which is why it prints out "You look like a light". Instead of --print("exemplary individual")-- you should be assigning the string "exemplary individual" to a variable. The quick fix would be to reassign characteristic to that value. So replace your print statements e.g.: print("exemplary individual") instead becomes: characteristic = "exemplary individual" --- |

Topic | ITT: Learning Python |
1337toothbrush 06/27/21 11:47:47 PM #21 | Having a project gives you a direction. You have to think about "how can I achieve this?" and it gives you a reference point to figure out where to go for the next step. Knowledge acquisition is more natural when you pick the next topic based on what you need to do rather than just covering seemingly disparate topics that may or may not relate to each other. It's also beneficial for knowledge retention because you're putting into practice what you're learning instead of simply reading about it. It's similar to how you'll learn language a lot quicker if you interact with others using that language and exposure yourself to media in that language. You don't have to take on a collaborative project. A solo project would be fine. You could also use a site like https://projecteuler.net to practice, but that's more geared towards mathy problems. --- |
