  • You’re arguing in bad faith and putting words in my mouth

    Suspending students from school for weeks, while protecting the victims temporarily from contact, has the side effect of withholding education from children. Surely they won’t miss anything important while suspended for 4-8 weeks, it’s not like education (or rather the lack thereof) and crime has a strong correlation.

    Any justice system should have these priorities:

    1. Protecting current victim(s)
    2. Preventing future victimizations.
    3. Rehabilitating the perpetrator(s)

    The U.S. justice system sole priority is bloodlust. That’s part of the reason police brutality goes largely ignored: it only affects “criminals” and they deserve it anyway.

    Now: how does the “tough on crime” attitude of the prosecution as reflected in the article protect current or future victims for more than a few months?



  • The goal of emulation is to make the console work for every game that was released on it.

    After all, if one or more games don’t work, the emulation cannot be accurate. And with imaccurate emulation, how can you ensure your other games are correctly emulated? In fact, if you know the emulator isn’t perfect - which it isn’t if some games have issues - how can you know any game is correctly emulated? You can test the game but it would take an infinite time to test everything. If you only do a few runs of the game, how do you know you haven’t missed anything?

    In other terms: The language L containing every perfectly emulated game is undecidable.
