Additionally the text strings we saw before are actually stored internally as lists of characters.
So is it possible to reach in and ask for a specific character in a string since it is all stored internally? Or would you have to write code to make it able to do that?
Computers typically store text by dividing the text into characters (the individual letters, spaces, numerals, punctuation marks, emojis, and other symbols). These characters are then stored in order and called strings (that is a bunch of characters strung together, like in Fig. 4.6 below).
Java and python seem to have the same characteristics. Though the coding itself is different, the components are the same, was this intentional? To make it more universal?
You can use bots as a way of buying fake followers, or making fake crowds that appear to support a cause (called Astroturfing)
This type of bot is the one I had more knowledge about prior to this class. Buying fake followers is really common right now, I saw a video where this guy finds how many fake followers celebrities have on Instagram and some peoples followers were up to 80% fake.
A photo that is likely from a click-farm, where a human computer is paid to do actions through multiple accounts, such as like a post or rate an app
This is actually concerning, shouldn't there be some rules surrounding click farms? It seems like false advertisment to have a bunch of paid people rate an app.
In an increasingly globalized world, there is an opportunity to learn to respect and accommodate the differences between cultures and values, and this is a good thing!
I agree with this statement, the world we live in today is filled with diversity. Sometimes it is hard to keep up with what is respectful and what isn't, especially when it varies depending on religion, region, geography, etc. Many times peoples values are directly linked to their spirituality or their cultural upbringing. It is important to stay educated and aware of this.
Virtue is a group effort. Individuals can’t be virtuous on their own because “the earth is slippery, slick” (meaning it is easy for an individual to fall into bad actions, they need support and moderation)
I think that with anything, you need good support system and be surrounded with people that share the same morals as yourself. Aztecs are big on community and having community rituals. Being surrounded by wisdom and stability will definitely make staying true to your virtues much easier.
