The difference is also that one is being punished by the state already; the other will never be punished by the state, while the populace continues to suffer from their actions - and so the only punishment we can mete out that actually sticks is violence.

Yeah, that’s why I had to take the online safety course again.

It wouldn’t have been able to do much to my computer though, if it really was a suspicious site.

I failed one of those because I have script blockers on my browser and I wanted to see what the scam was.

Isn’t that Python’s whole paradigm?

Goto CAN be readable, it’s true.

The problem is that it’s easy to make code that is LESS readable; in order to prevent horrible unmaintainable spaghetti, it is forbidden nearly everywhere. A lot of coding ‘rules’ are really just ways to try to cut down on stupid coding practices by greenhorns and enforce code maintainability.

That’s because it’s not. It’s ignoring the meme format and just using the image without the context.

It’s pointing out the conflict between two coding ideals - first, reducing duplicate code so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel and/or copy-paste code (which often means making calls to libraries) which is represented by the red penguin facing right, and second, wanting to reduce dependencies so that external variables are reduced (which would mean including code in your codebase that otherwise would be an external library call) which is represented by the blue penguin facing left.

The closer you get towards one ideal, the further away you get from the other.

IF and GOTO are the only flow control we need; everything else is for cowards.

Took me a bit. I was staring at it for a while thinking ‘What part of this is socially awkward?’

Eh. It’s still AI in the same way all prior instances of neural networks are AI. The actual level of intelligence is irrelevant to whether or not it qualifies; it is meant to imitate intelligent behavior, thus it is AI.

Otherwise the term wouldn’t make sense to use for entities in games.
