Please stop pretending to be a spoiled child.. This is a public forum where anybody can ask you tough questions that undermine your weak position you are already sitting on..

Is it yet another day with too much whisky for you? You have PESEL, where digits 0,2,4,6,8 means woman, and 1,3,5,7,9 means man. You have intersex infant newly born.. Which number will be assigned? Based on whether infant has cunt or whether has penis (if infant has both!).. ? Is it politics? (I see only politicians playing this subject from time to time, but it's biology. These people born this way) Is it ideology for you? Somebody really have such problems. Either doctor who has no option "unknown sex"/"unknown gender"/"intersex"/"undefined", parents, and child and then adult human in later age.. Parent has only checkbox "girl"/"boy" on the form, what they should click and why, if both answers are true?

Paul, these are not ideological/political threads.. To simple minds there are only males or females.. So suppose you are talking to someone who has both male and female organs, and they are fully functional and person can be either father and mother at the same time. What gender does this person have? In your oversimplified worldview, you cannot decide what gender this person has.. Him or her? She or he? (brain freeze) If you want to discuss it from a political point-of-view: The Polish (your country) national identification number (PESEL) (assigned by the government at birth) encodes a person's gender (the last digit is a checksum; if the penultimate digit is odd the person is male, if even, the person is female). Determined at birth (so by just looking at the body of infant; wondering what they do with intersex person? Toss coin?). When someone has a gender reassignment operation, they must also have their ID changed and the all the data associated with it (bank accounts updated, documents, etc., etc.). Some countries have begun to recognize this problem and have begun to move away from making it static and fixed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_identification_number "In 2017, the Norwegian Ministry of Finance approved changes to the numbering system. After the changes, the number will no longer indicate gender, and the first check digit will be 'released' to become part of the individual number."

"Nonsense".. BTW, in this thread in my post I explained why the Earth could not be flooded entirely to the last tip of the solid surface: And in this post what was the "global flood of the Earth" in reality (remembered in the myths of ancient people):

In addition to what others have said, rotational energy can be lost frictionlessly in the same way the Earth loses rotational energy due to the presence of and interaction with the Moon (which has caused tidal locking over billions of years), the Sun, as well as other space objects of lesser influence.

There are even animals that change sex during their lives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequential_hermaphroditism The most wildly know is probably Clownfish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphiprioninae "Anemonefish are protandrous sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. If the female anemonefish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males becomes a female. The remaining males move up a rank in the hierarchy. " Or which have both male and female organs at the same time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphrodite Take a look at this table of approximate prevalence in the human community: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex (data from countries with higher tolerances will be more reliable; many people with more chromosomes than XX/XY are not even diagnosed) Did you hear about menopause? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menopause "Menopause, also known as the climacteric, is the time in women's lives when menstrual periods stop permanently, and they are no longer able to bear children.[1][7] Menopause usually occurs between the age of 49 and 52.[2] Medical professionals often define menopause as having occurred when a woman has not had any menstrual bleeding for a year." The number of a woman's eggs is known at birth day: https://www.google.com/search?q=women's+eggs+in+a+lifetime "At birth, there are approximately 1 million eggs; and by the time of puberty, only about 300,000 remain. Of these, only 300 to 400 will be ovulated during a woman's reproductive lifetime. Fertility can drop as a woman ages due to decreasing number and quality of the remaining eggs."

Many of the flowerpots I see here in stores look just like this: 2D profile: 3D visualization: If you want to have some water in the bottom of the container, simply drill a hole on the side... In the literal half way, IMHO it is way too extreme. What is the average amount of rainfall in your country region? What are the dimensions of your container? How much water do you want (in liters)? The area of the container x the average amount of rainfall will give us the volume of water. Do the roots of your plants like plenty of water? If not, they will begin to rot.

Did he shoot somebody, traveling 20 miles (~30 km)? If you take something from house, you don't throw away after 10 miles.. Regardless of distance.. Distance does not matter. Intentions do matter. Everybody has some lethal weapon at hand.. I have keyboard and mouse at hand, for some mortal human, they are lethal weapons..

..but the question is: if such brainwashed far-right wingnuts are on the street, they should be "de-weaponized" the way they did (and are being killed).... How to differentiate "brainwashed far-right wingnuts" from "brainwashed far-left wingnuts" from "brainwashed wingnut" from "terrorist" from "gangster" from "mob member" or from [put anything] in the middle of action.. which is very 'dramatic'/'dynamic'.. Looking at the video of the whole accident, I find him not guilty..

Right. Right. Isn't what they want? Everybody to carry gun "to shoot bad guys".. ? Weaponize the all teachers etc. ? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/21/donald-trump-solution-to-school-shootings-arm-teachers-with-guns

I wasn't talking about the trial... I was talking about the "accident"/"shooting"... a real movie...

Did you (or participants of this thread) bother to watch entire "accident" ("video")? Victims were black/darker skin.. ? Look up data again to verify it..

"I feel attacked by Stumpy Devs! I try to avoid using interpreted languages, recursion and things that leads to stack overflow and anything that’s not a high tech.. 😂 " ps. Sorry for OT, I could not resist to paraphrase you.. ps2. I hear a lot of devs who after hearing the problem, answer "find a library that will do it" (instead of writing something themselves)... It's funny/weird (especially even) if the problem is trivial and can be solved faster by handwriting than by learning how to use a third-party library..

"Elemental carbon exists in different structural forms including graphite, diamond, fullerenes, and amorphous carbon. In nature, these materials are produced through abiotic chemical processes under high temperature and pressure but are considered generally inaccessible to biochemical synthesis or breakdown. Here, we identified and characterized elemental carbon isolated from consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), which together carry out the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM)." "In addition, we found that select methanogens also produce amorphous carbon with similar characteristics to the carbon from AOM consortia."

Show source code... Whenever a programmer uses a division operator with a non-static denominator he/she must catch a divide by zero in advance or exception. *) The code in C/C++ e.g. double a, b, c, d; // initialized double e = a * b / ( c * d ); is incorrect/wrong since the beginning. It should be: double a, b, c, d; // initialized double x = c * d; // temporary variable double e = ( x != 0 ) ? a * b / x : DBL_MAX; (alternative to DBL_MAX are https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5834635/how-do-i-get-double-max or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8690567/setting-an-int-to-infinity-in-c or https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/numeric/math/INFINITY ) Whether dividing by zero is treated as dividing by a very small value (leading to the result of infinity) depends on the context... *) not obeying this rule will lead to random application crashes..

..but do you know that the most of modern computers don't even have HDD.. ? practically the all sold laptops in shops have SSD and NVMe storages.. SSD is 10x faster (550 MB/s) than HDD (55 MB/s) NVMe (1500-3500 MB/s) can be 30-60x faster than HDD..

In different languages, the same task is performed in different ways.. Sometimes differences are cosmetic. Sometimes they are gigantic (alteration of the entire algorithm).

"SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standardized programming language that's used to manage relational databases and perform various operations on the data in them. ... SQL became the de facto standard programming language for relational databases after they emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s." SQL is not a general purpose programming language. You must have code that opens the database, creates a table, inserts records, queries records, deletes records, modifies records, and closes it. MySQL is typically used from server-side PHP, Java, Python etc. or client-side JavaScript. SQLite is typically used from Android's Java/Kotlin/Xamarin. It is possible to make changes to the SQL database from the db admin panel by manually typing your own SQL commands. e.g. mysqladmin for MySQL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysqladmin.html Any serious web-hosting company installs such a SQL admin panel, accessible from the HTTP server, to access the database in emergency situations. It is usually used for database backups.

The density of muscle is ~1.1 g/cm^3. The density of fat is ~0.9 g/cm^3. 1.1/0.9 = ~1.22 ratio (+22%). A person with the same height, same weight, but an athletic body, can have a much smaller body volume than a person with the same properties but with fat instead of muscles. BMI does not include this information. Therefor the BVI (Body Volume Index) was introduced. https://www.google.com/search?q=body+volume+index "How do you calculate BVI? BVI was defined as total body volume/height^2 (L/m^2)."

I used the word "endpoint" to make distinction from a control point that not lie on the bezier curve. I made these four beziers (on the left), it has four endpoints (as you can see), and some control points flying in a void (the curve does not go through them *), and frozen to polygons version (on the right). *) they can be disconnected ("unweld" tool in 3D app), and instead of 4, we will have 8 of them.. Is this what you want to achieve? (and you call it "Bezier patch"?) Are you doing it in some programming language like C/C++ with OpenGL/DirectX for visualization? Routine can look like: freeze each bezier to well-defined number of points and interpolate frozen points.

OK. I used a 3D application to visualize it in 2 dimensions. Below we can see 3 beziers. A straight line (just to visualize) is going from the control point of the 1st bezier, then through the endpoint shared by 1st and 2nd bezier, then to the control point of the 2nd bezier. A bezier patch must be created from four beziers, which have 4 endpoints and 8 control points. Move the control points so as to break the straight line (slope) between them, and you will lose smoothness:
