Does your school have a robotics team or something along the lines of computing? That would be a good option. Also if you are still in high school and plan on going to college, you still have plenty of time to learn.

Probably because depending on the context "Christians" is likely referring to "Protestants." There are some very significant differences between Catholic and Protestant Christianity, moreso than between Protestant denominations, whose differences tend to be a bit more trivial. Other comments make some good points, but it is not too far of a stretch to say that Catholicism may be different enough to be considered a separate religion (I don't know who gets to draw these lines). But in the most technical sense, yes, Catholics are a subset of Christians.

Can't find the full quote, but there is a scene in the movie Calvary where a guy at a pub tells the main character (a priest) a story about a boy rendered blind, deaf, mute, and paralyzed, going into excruciating detail about the hell he must be in. Truly a messed up thing to tell another human. Highly recommend watching the movie.

Awesome, so Japanese settings will soon be oversaturated in games. We already got Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima (and will presumably get a sequel), and whatever that other Monster Hunter style game was. We will also be getting an Assassin's Creed in Japan. Sounds like Santa Monica doesn't know what to do so they are following trends. Really don't think Kratos belongs in Japan.

Wouldn't you argue that putting hard restrictions would have the benefit of shrinkjng your recruitment team? To be clear, I'm coming from an extremely anecdotal point of view, but to me it seems like tech is full of imposters jumping from job to job, playing up their experience. Recruiters cannot spot these people, because they know all the jargon despite having none of the skills. This is why these technical interviews exist, but now those are even being gamed by people by studying leetcode. I'd be really curious what a high quality tech recruiter does vs the average.

I find it funny he thought the resource collection was poorly done. Sure, it's a bit immersion breaking, but getting off the ship to walk over to a resource and hold down a key to collect a resource sounds tedious. I think the problem with some modern games is that they choose immersion over keeping players in the core gameplay loop, and this is an instance where it is nice to see a developer (maybe unintentionally) choose the latter. However I do agree that boarding the ship being limited to a cutscene is disappointing. That was a missed opportunity to expand the core gameplay in an engaging way.

TBH the longer you wait, the more you aren't going to want to do it. Depends on who you are as a person, but if you working toward getting married and havinf kids, then doing a PhD is going to feel like a truckload of extra responsibility that really isn't worth it. The only reason I am doing my now is that it gave me an excuse to leave my previous residence, but I was in a really stable place making plenty of money. That is a hard thing to give up.

Also usually you get a PhD because you want a specific job. If you want to do it to learn, it is a mistake most of the time. You want to be setting up your post-degree career sooner than later, because your pre-degree career is likely not going to count for much after the first few years.

Does it execute both, or does it execute the branch that is more likely to be valid? Branch prediction seems like it'd be way more performant than executing both branches until the result of the branch condition is available. If you think about it, what you're proposing will cause the CPU to always execute instructions that are not meant to be executed when confronted with a branch whereas branch prediction will only execute these "useless" instructions in the unlikely scenario where the prediction is incorrect.

I wouldn't worry about that. Adam Driver is a way better actor than the Rock and has a way better filmography. I mean, when you're doing movies like Jumanji, Rampage, Fast and Furious, and Jungle Cruise, you're aiming for lucrative short term relevance.

Not really. All of them are portrayed as doing things that Jewish culture would view unfavorably or immoral. God isn't exactly giving a stamp of approval to each action of these figures. Pretty much any time they do anything good it is because God enabled them to do it either through miraculous acts or by instructing them.

Also Jesus is considered the son of God throughout the entire New Testament. Maybe the word "perfect" isn't used, but he is portrayed as a model human being throughout. Otherwise his sacrifice wouldn't be able to serve it's purpose.

I mean, I don't have the perspective to speak on how a Jew might view major figures in the Old Testament. I would guess they would still view them as imperfect people as even major figures like David are portrayed as doing immoral things.
