«It may surprise even you that it is possible to be a good programmer and an effective advocate for civil rights while simultaneously being a good opponent of those very same civil rights. LeVar Burton, in his recent “Programming as a Civil Right” in Rolling Stone, takes a long view of his own political activism of recent years and compares what he calls the “anti-civil rights ’cause” to the civil rights cause of ’68– ’75. While the civil rights activism of ’68– ’75 was not in opposition to racism, the anti-civil rights movement has been a far more effective civil rights opponent. But I suspect that Burton understands that and knows that I did not mean to imply that he opposed civil rights activism, but rather, that I was merely noting that his actions were more effective in the context of a broader movement.
The question of whether or not there is any significant difference between a government that is in favor of preserving civil rights and a government that has abandoned those civil rights is, of course, important. Indeed, such a statement has become a bit of a truism in contemporary US political discourse. But that such a statement is a truism of current political discourse is a story that requires some context to be comprehensible.
The basic assumption is that a society that is in favor of preserving the civil rights of its citizens has a greater obligation and responsibility than a society where the civil rights are in jeopardy.
I am not sure that either of the above assumptions is necessarily true. That is, I am not sure that the civil rights of citizens are protected by a government that is in favor of them, if the civil rights are in jeopardy. Neither am I sure that the citizens have an obligation that a government is acting in their interest, if the government has abandoned the civil rights of citizens. In other words, there are no objective duties but there are objective obligations. And there is a difference on the subjective side between obligations and duties. I shall give the latter name for the former.
On the objective level, in a society in favor of preserving the civil rights of citizens, the government has an obligation to them. I suppose I should say that the obligation is an objective obligation to preserve the civil rights. However, I think that this is a bit of a stretch.
LeVar Burton and the game show “Jeopardy!”
“Leaving the game shows behind, he moved on to national radio — where he was a host of ‘Hockey Night in America,’ a radio version of ‘The Ed Sullivan Show,’ and a morning host on ‘The Bob and Tom Show. ’ During the late sixties and early seventies, he was a regular panelist on all-news radio programs such as ‘Good Morning America. ’ And after leaving television in the early eighties, he was a host of ‘Jeopardy!’ on CBS, and he has hosted game shows ever since.
The original “Jeopardy!” was hosted by Dick Turpin, who died in 1969. Turpin was a Canadian born Canadian American who was a famous game show host who had been a well known and successful contestant on the American version of “Jeopardy!,” the game show “Quiz Show.
“Jeopardy!” started out with an appearance on the game show “Mister Mike” on CBS and the game show “Quiz Show” on NBC, which started in 1967 and lasted through 1968.
(John Travers) was a very tough contestant and Dick Turpin was very tough. And so they just became friends.
Burton hosts the Jeopardy match.
Burton presents a new segment called “Jeopardy”, which is broadcasted live during the final hour of the live show on NBC. The Jeopardy show has a number of segments, including a match between Burton and his friend Jim Burden. The game itself features a number of rules, rules which are designed for the purpose of entertainment. One such rule is the “Jeopardy” game rule, which is a variant of the classic game which was first played by the American businessman, Henry James Bailey, in 1884. The rules of the game are similar to the game of Scrabble, except the wordings are not as numerous. The Jeopardy game is essentially a game of word association, but the rules are designed to entertain and keep the contestants from getting bored. The Jeopardy game is played by a team of contestants, who begin by choosing from a selection of four words that are contained in the question, on a separate row. The contestants then use words to spell out two words which are not contained in the question on the previous row. The contestants then use the resulting words to spell out another two words. The words which they use in the first two rows then go on to spell out nine words, all contained in the question (the last row spells out a question word which is not contained in the question). The word associations are then determined by using the word endings from the question on the previous row as place-holders; for example, in the question word “what is the most expensive car?”, the words “car”, “dollar”, and “dealer”, will be placed on the first row. Once the word associations are determined, the contestants have to make a decision whether to enter “yes”, “no”, or “don’t know”. The contestant who receives the longest correct answer is the champion of the game. The champions themselves compete with each other in the “Jeopardy” game, also known as the “Jeopardy Final”. The Jeopardy Final is not a separate game, but is simply another way of determining the champion.
He said, “Jeopardy!”
“Jeopardy!” is another game of chance, and here is a brief summary of the rules and play. We will use the same names of the game, but the rules have been slightly modified for this essay.
Jeopardy! has a long history in the United States. In 1900, the term “Jeopardy” was used in the United States for a game played by seven people with a question each time. It was the first US-based game to use letters as the dice and then developed to the present. Each player picks a letter, and each person must answer another question (called a “prize”) by putting up their hand. The top or winner of the game wins the prize. In the United States, the first person to answer all seven questions wins the game.
In the United Kingdom, “Jeopardy!” was played for a few years in the 1920s and was later renamed “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” (now in use as “Pick-a-number-game” or “Pick-a-number-one-game”). In the UK, the first winner of “Jeopardy!” received a cash prize of £10. In other locations, “Jeopardy!” was played “from the word go” (or, in the US, “the first question is a draw”). The game was often played in a tavern, a saloon or, in the UK, on a race track. In other countries, the game was played at a country club or even on the street in New York City.
The first mention of “Jeopardy!” in the US is in the early 1900s.
Tips of the Day in Programming
JSLint is a JVM library for static analysis of JavaScript and Web JavaScript programs. I’ve never heard of JSLint before (I assume it’s similar to JavaScript Lint, which I’ve used for about 2 years and have gotten pretty good at). But the first thing I saw when I looked at the GitHub repository was JSLint 6, which offers very nice linting support of the JSDoc. It looks like a lot of work to extend the JSDoc support though. I’ve been working very heavily on the project for the last 6 months, and it is coming along much more smoothly than I initially expected it to.
JSLint 6 has an update branch that should get a lot of attention, but I want to focus on the main branch. It’s a very readable documentation update, with a decent changelog at the end.
