Bluetooth joypad-watching daemon for RetroPie
#!/bin/bash
# For my RetroPie-based Game Frame
# When a bluetooth controller is connected, will turn on the screen, put the processor into
# "performance" mode, and start EmulationStation
# When any controller presses L+R+Start+Select, the reverse will occur:
# ES is killed, the processor is put into "ondemand" mode, HDMI is turned off, and all BT
# devices are disconnected.

Fordi / ImmutableArray.js
Last active August 29, 2015 14:22
/**
* ImmutableArray - exactly what it sounds like: an Array you can't change.
*
* Usage:
* var myArray = [1, 2, 3],
* myImmutableArray = myArray.immutable;
*
* ImmutableArrays can be used in place of normal Arrays in most cases, with the exception of the following mutator functions:
* #pop(), #push(item), #reverse(), #shift(), #unshift(item), #splice(start, length, items...), and #sort([sortfn])
* If used, these will throw a warning, copy the array, mutate it, and return the mutated array.

Module template
/**
* This code block is designed to enable the consumer of a script to name your library whatever they want, by simply
* adding the attribute 'data-library-name' to the script tag. When the time comes in your script
* you simply set Module.Space[Module.Name] = Your Cool Library
*
* Other benefits to the Module object*:
* Module.Tag is the script tag that pulled your script in. You can use this to pull in further data-* attributes for script configuration
* Module.URI contains the URI used to get your script. This can be useful if you want to use script-relative resources, such as SWF files
* You can require jQuery just by setting the jQueryVersion argument.

Informed Atheism is a Rebellion

Informed atheism is a rebellion. Not against God, for you don't rebel against things you treat as nonexistant. It's the expression of a rebellion against a popular view that it's ok to hold a belief that you can't demonstrate as true.

There's simple atheism: just failing to believe in a god for whatever reason: you've never been introduced to the concept; you're "angry" at your concept of god; you simply don't have a reason to believe. These are fine; I welcome the day when nearly everyone is a "simple atheist". These are the atheists that hardly need it as a label.

Informed atheism is a different animal: it's the statement that the existence of a god has been almost entirely excluded from belief by our knowledge. We understand there may be flaws in our knowledge, but the number of flaws necessary to allow a god to be real is staggering.

In short, a simple atheist may be easily turned into a believer - indeed, it's happened at least once to every single religious believer - but an informed atheist is
