saying in short the sin of hodgin (dik) is that he is a bullshitter,
this means that he should be not legitimized with all his bulshit and spam
(as stupidity and bulshit amkes harm)
but defended (obviously one should not exagerrate in taht point to, but better
say big stop to this idiot than not)

Where do you see me stating anything that is untrue, or in any way
purposefully deceptive?
 
Backup your claim with facts or the claim is not legitimate.

Your refusal to answer the following question is an example of you being
purposefully deceptive:
 
Jesus believed the Old Testament was the commandment of God (Matthew 15:3)
ergo Jesus believed that homosexuals should be put to death (Leviticus 20:13).
 
Do you agree with Jesus that homosexuals should be put to death or not? If
Jesus is wrong about putting homosexuals to death then what else is Jesus
wrong about? I thought gods were supposed to be infallible.

This doesn't seem too hard, but it's obviously not in the standard
library (which AFAIK only has rand()). Example:
 
-------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
 
typedef uint64_t u64;
typedef u64* Randgen;
 
Randgen new_randgen(u64 seed1, u64 seed2) {
// needs two 64-bit non-zero seeds
Randgen s;
 
s=malloc(sizeof(u64)*2);
if (s==NULL) {
return s;
}
s[0]=seed1;
s[1]=seed2;
return s;
}
 
void free_randgen(Randgen s) {
free(s);
}
 
u64 random(Randgen s) {
// based on 'xorshift128+'
u64 x = s[0];
u64 const y = s[1];
s[0] = y;
x ^= x << 23; // a
s[1] = x ^ y ^ (x >> 17) ^ (y >> 26); // b, c
return s[1] + y;
}
 
int main(void) {
u64 a;
Randgen r1,r2,r3;
 
r1=new_randgen(374646464,84747774);
r2=new_randgen(374646464,84747774);
r3=new_randgen(374646464,84747774);
 
for (int i=0; i<10; ++i) {
printf("%d %016llX %016llX %016llX\n",i,
random(r1), random(r2), random(r3));
}
 
free_randgen(r1);
free_randgen(r2);
free_randgen(r3);
 
}
-----------------------
 
All three streams show the same results because I've used the same seed
for each.
 
(To reset a stream R to a new seed, either free R and set R to a new
generator, or change the two u64s that R points to, or provide a
function for that.
 
However this depends entirely on the PRNG used. The point of my example
is to show how easy it is to superimpose a 'multi-channel' API on a
single-stream PRNG.)

I don't refuse to answer your question, but you're asking a
question that's along the lines of "do pickles have the same
outer skin as toads," just because they look the same and
maybe even feel the same.
 
There are things you need to learn to realize why your question
is inappropriate. And, you accuse me of being UNWILLING to
answer your question, but the way it really is is this: you
are UNWILLING to seek to learn enough to understand why your
question is not appropriate.
 
Satan does this to people, by the way. It's one way he uses
to keep people trapped in their present / current belief sys-
tem. He conjures up a question or scenario in a person's mind
for them, giving them the thoughts, the conclusions, all of
it, and then entices the person to ask the question within a
solid framework ... something like "Do you or don't you ...
yes or no."
 
Satan knows the answer is not so simple. But Satan also knows
that he has dominion over the flesh and can deceive us in our
natural thinking hand over fist... so he uses that to trick and
deceive you, and keep you pinned down into a place of non-for-
giveness, of unrepentance, of still being on your way to Hell.
 
Satan is no good. He has nothing positive for any person.
He's as tricky and deceptive and underhanded as they come. He
will say X, Y, or Z to you outright lying, with the full intent
in his heart to keep you deceived and on your way to Hell. He
will hurt you, your family, your neighbors, your friends, your
parents, your kids, your spouse ... anyone he can.
 
There is information you need to learn to understand why your
question is not appropriate, or why any answer I could give you
to it would need to be framed for a correct understanding. You
need to go to proper school to undo the teachings of that wicked
enemy, so that you are on the path to truth, and not trying to
operate from the false framework the enemy has weaved for you,
the one you're so sure is the correct question to be answering.
 
And the sad thing is, you'll look at my reply here once again as
me not answering your question, because the enemy has you that
deceived ... but you won't be able to see it because you have no
pursuit of the truth, and the truth is known by the spirit, and
it breaks my heart.
 
All I can do is pray for you, and continue to lead you rightly.
When / if the day comes where you begin to seek the truth, then
God will open your eyes and you'll be able to see it.

This sentence could be improved if you ended with "cockwomble", the lacklustre
"you are" at the end weakens the effect.

Is the theme for today "repeating oureselves?" Okay, here goes:
 
Leigh, I'm trying to teach you there's something more. If you'll

know the truth as your eyes are opened and you literally say out

And I'll add: The answer you seek lies in understanding more than
you do today. You're asking the wrong question, to get an answer
that you would take the wrong way, as has been hand-crafted for you
to do by the enemy of your soul. I'm guiding you to the truth. My
guidance does not come from me. It comes from the one you mock. I
point you to His teachings on this matter, and not just the snippet
one-liners to pull out of context and demand an accounting of. In
order to properly understand things, you have to understand more than
you do. If you do this, YOU will know the answer on the inside.

It seems obvious to me that the real reason you won't answer this question
(which I am now going to use to shut you down in future) is if you do
agree with Jesus that homosexuals should be put to death then you reveal
that both yourself and your god are bigoted cunts: what would your
supposed gay friends think? And if you don't agree with Jesus that
homosexuals should be put to death then that shows an inconsistency in
your faith which is revealed to be a house built on sand.

Interesting. I thought that to be absent from the body is to be present
with the Lord. There is no queue, I think that the infinite God can have
a personal conversation with multiple entities, human or not, at the
same time, and never forget anything involved. Afaict, God remembers it
forever, verbatim... Think of God as having infinite fractal like
compound insect like senses, with infinite resolution, with a perfect
memory that never forgets, and is always fair because it knows the truth
at all times. It was never created, and will never pass away. It is as
it is.

That is true for Christians, for they are already alive eternally because
their sin has been forgiven, the required punishment of sin (eternal death)
has been taken away.
 
It's what it means to be "born again," to be born of the spirit, eternal
life, no longer dead, no longer flesh-only, and we no longer need have a
fear of death because we are already alive eternally, and this world is
not our home.

For the unsaved person, they go to sleep. Their spirit is not reunited
with their body until Judgment Day. They appear before God to give an
account of their life, are found guilty in that "courtroom," and are
literally cast headlong into the Lake of Fire.
 
Read Revelation 20, specifically verses 11+:
 
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+20&version=KJV
 
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was
found no place for them.
==> 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the
books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the
book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which
were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were
judged every man according to their works.
==> 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death.
==> 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast
into the lake of fire.
 
Reading earlier in that chapter, you see that those who "died in Christ"
(died to self) are re-born spiritually, and they do not face judgment,
but are already passed from death to life. They come back with Christ
and reign 1,000 years during Christ's "day of rest" here on this Earth,
after the 6,000 years of labor, and 1,000 years of rest, following God's
pattern of creation for creating the world in six days, and then resting
on the seventh.
 
In addition, as with natural sleep, are you aware of the hours passing
between the time you go to sleep and when you wake up? With this type
of sleep it is similar. Those who died will see these events happen:
 
1) They die.
2) They are summoned by name in Heaven to give an account of
their Earthly life.
3) They appear before God.
 
What they are unaware of is possibly 1) because Paul records that
the person he describes who was called up to the third Heaven could
not determine if they were in the body or in the spirit because it
was so real, yet it was so different from Earth that he knew it was
even unlawful to speak of the things seen/discussed there, and a
missing 1.5) step where they go to sleep.
 
Those people who died throughout history without being saved will
all be summoned on the same day. They will wake up, be given their
eternal faculties, go to God's court at the Great White Throne
Judgment, and then give the account of their life. They will self-
condemn as they recount unendingly the sinful things they did. They
will, on that day, finally realize that it's all true, because their
spirit will know the truth, and their eyes will be seeing it, but
the weight of their conviction will be pressing upon them. The
Bible records "there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
 
It's why we are to call on the Lord today and ask forgiveness. For
the Christian, he/she comes to God broken, humbled, realizing they
are a sinner, feeling guilt and conviction over their sin. They
bow down before the throne (figuratively, and sometimes literally),
and admit they are a sinner, admit that they need Jesus, ask Him
to forgive their sin, to which He does when it is a sincere form
of repentance and asking.
 
That person then has their spirit come alive in that moment. They
are then restored to their true nature (soul no longer under judg-
ment, spirit alive, still attached to this in-sin physical body,
to receive their permanent eternal incorruptible body after they
leave this world), and they then move in this world different than
the world and the people of the world, proclaiming the merits of
Christ, of loving one another, of helping one another, of giving
to one another, etc.
 
It's why new Christians change so much. They are guided by the
Holy Spirit communing with their spirit, and they literally change
everything about their life initially. But the enemy does not
slack, and he regroups and analyzes and comes back at people. He
targets their flesh and tries to find ways to pull them back in
to following their flesh, so they will not be focused on the
spirit, will not be following after spiritual things, but will be
weakened by the flesh.
 
It's like kryptonite for Christians. It takes away all our right
and true focus on God, for the flesh reaps only to corruption,
and the spirit reaps only unto life everlasting, to right service
to God, to a true love for our fellow man (saved, and unsaved).
 
-----
Do not take my word for any of this, Chris. Pick up a Bible and
read for yourself. Learn personally what God teaches us. And
when you have questions ask and you will find that God provides
for your questions adequately, when they are sincere questions
from a truth-seeking heart. But to mockers, double-minded men
and women ... to them there will be no answer given, until the
day of judgment.

You make a claim. Your claim is based on what? Me personally? That I
am a flawed human being? Or that those things I convey regarding the
Bible and Christianity are incorrect?
 
Judge for yourself (Jesus speaking):
 
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+5%3A24&version=KJV
 
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall
not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
 
It says, "is passed" (present tense). Jesus also told the thief on the
cross that "this day" he would be with Jesus in paradise. Jesus still
had to die on the cross, be buried, and on the third day rise again.
He even told (Mary on the morning He rose) not to handle Him yet, because
He had not yet returned to the Father.
 
So how was He able to be with the thief on the cross who repented "this
day" in Heaven, when three days later He hadn't yet ascended back to
Heaven?
 
The spirit nature is eternal, Kenny. It exists outside of conventional
time, and is alive in a way differently than our corporeal, temporal
lives here. Remember also, it was on the 8th day God gave the command
for males to be circumcised, an "everlasting covenant" between God and
man, and the circumcision was to mark them between man and God.
 
Six days of creation (6,000 years), a day of rest (the millennial reign,
1,000 years), then the 8th day begins (the everlasting covenant between
God and man, and subsequently between man and God).
 
The Bible confirms itself in multiple ways, your personally held beliefs
contrary to its teachings notwithstanding.
 
Jesus will save your eternal soul, Kenny. All you have to do is accept
that you are a sinner (compared to God's perfect righteous standard),
recognize that Jesus came to save us by His death on the cross, and to
then ask Him to forgive your sin while being in true repentance.
 
Confess with your mouth, believe in your heart, and you will be saved.
 
Eternal life... for sinners. It's God's greatest gift to each of us.
It's the one thing in life we must all receive in order to have eternal
life in Heaven, and to not be cast into eternal Hellfire.

There are and have been thousands of religions, a variant on your tale could
be told for all of them. You don't see it because you've never ventured
outside the texts of one of them, you've never studied the history of
religious ideas and how they came about, that would only frighten you.
 
Be well,

You've probably read this before, but I was not looking to be
saved. I was looking to live my life as I was, as an atheist.
Back in 2004 a cubicle neighbor, a Christian, was evangelizing
to me. I was making point-by-point counter-arguments to every-
thing he was saying, stating the reasons why it wasn't as he was
saying.
 
He kept pressing forward for many months, and finally began to
ask me questions I didn't have answers to. I thought I probably
knew the answer, but I wasn't 100% certain. I wasn't even 100%
certain what the Bible said on certain matters, so I resolved to
answer those questions within myself solidly, to do the research,
to put in the time and study to figure out what the Bible said
accurately, so I could then dismantle what it said verse by
verse, concept by concept, line by line, piece by piece.
 
In setting my sights on learning the truth about the Bible, I
found it ... and much to my surprise. I was totally floored
that the change had occurred to me. God drew me in to the real
knowledge because I was honestly seeking to know the real truth
of what the Bible said. In so doing, I was completely undone.
 
I asked forgiveness for my sin in late July, 2004, and my life
has never been the same since.
 
I've looked at other religions. They are all efforts of man's
labor or effort to do good, be better, do more, etc. Only the
Bible and Biblical Christianity teaches us that none of us are
good enough, and that Jesus came into the world to compensate
for our not being good enough, to make a way back to Heaven to
be with Him. The Bible teaches God did this because He loves
us.
 
Have you ever read what Napoleon wrote about religions? It's
in French until about halfway down, then there's an English
translation:
 
https://biblehub.com/library/schaff/the_person_of_christ/napoleon_bonaparte.htm
 
"I know men; and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man.
Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the
founders of empires, and the gods of other religions. That
resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity
and whatever other religions the distance of infinity.
 
"We can say to the authors of every other religion, You are
neither gods, nor the agents of the Deity. You are but mis-
sionaries of falsehood, moulded from the same clay with the
rest of mortals. You are made with all the passions and vices
inseparable from them. Your temples and your priests proclaim
your origin.' Such will be the judgment, the cry of conscience,
of whoever examines the gods and the temples of paganism..."
 
It goes on for many paragraphs and is quite an amazing read.

>void on_large_pages( const Option& )
 
This style is strongly advocated in the Cppcon-2018 talk
 
What Do We Mean When We Say Nothing At All?
 
by Kate Gregory, at 00:31:10 (HH:MM:SS, your time offsets
may vary) in the video.
 
At 00:57:30, there is a question asked by someone about this.
(Not very interesting, initially, he is not able to formulate
this style properly.)
 
> void on_large_pages( [[maybe_unused]] const Option& o )
 
Discussed at 00:12:00 in the same video, not in relation
with parameters, though, but in relation to »assert«.

#include <tuple>
int main() { ::std::ignore = 2; }
 
This seems to work, but in the standard, ::std::ignore only
seems to have sense within a tie, as in, quote,
 
|tie(i, ignore, s) = make_tuple(42, 3.14, "C++");
 
, so it might not have defined behavior outside of a tie.

The named parameter, o, is unused. Drop the name.
 
void on_large_pages(const Option&) { TT.resize(0); }
