It is scientific, just not experimental science which is limited. Look up Islam's Isnad system to learn more. There is nothing like it in any other tradition, faith or historic or otherwise. If you only follow experimental science, th

Yes, politics plays a huge role. I've seen it play out that way many times.

My religion brought enlightenment into the world, and you benefit from it to this very day. Read up about the Islamic Golden Age for an intro.

I agree with you. But do you think most people are going to afford purchasing even remotely anywhere near that price point?

Anything can suggest a specific meaning when someone has an agenda. I'm not playing these games.

There are many proofs. But some people are too blind or too proud to see them. You can check out provingislam.com for a teaser.

It does, but it's nice to see that software engineering is officially codified by the IEEE :-)

The slippery slope is real. And as far as we're concerned, taking the Hijab away is one very obvious step in that direction. Just look at history. I'm not defending the Iranian regime by the way. You're straw manning to assum

I agree with you overall, but it’s still a problem that they’re selling books on how to attempt suicide

Bad analogy. It’s already established that there are innate differences between males and females even shortly after birth, and that translates to different behavioral outcomes and career preferences.

The freedom to get naked in the streets yeah? Thanks but no thanks. You’re correct that our goals and culture that promotes purity and piety is more important than what the secular West defines as “freedom”

Ah yes, the typical astounding secular definition of freedom, equating it with nakedness and vices. I’ll tell you something, the vast majority of the Saudis are proud of the Hijab and their Islamic faith that promotes purity and decency. We

What you mention as considerable advantages might apply for someone coming from Python or Ruby. For many of us in Java or C# land, what they have is already much better.

The first question that comes to mind is why has mental illness been substantially increasing recently over the past few decades? Something about our lifestyle definitely contributes to it.

I think it might have more to do with the actual content than the animation. A lot of today's trash on youtube that parents leave their kids watch unattended is dangerous, and seems to promote ADD. Thankfully, there are still youtube c

Could the fact that they have higher salaries have anything to do with it? Offer higher salaries and you'll attract stronger talent, regardless of the leetcode hoops they have to jump through.

The issues that C faces in terms of memory correctness do not occur in Java. You can use tools like `perf` on a Java program, and I don't see why you couldn't use valgrind for natively compiled Java programs. For debugging and obs

golang and C would take that spot :-) Records, pattern matching, string templates, and more to come for Java for which the other two have nothing equivalent.

Java is one of the very few languages out there that is manageable and debuggable at the large scales you're talking about. The tooling around it is second to none, and because it is statically typed with a decent type system, you can
