This is how this reads to me: first, realize that sin is everywhere even if you can't see it, you are all sinners and that is just the natural state of the world right now. But it is not OK to sin if you have been made aware of sin. (I

If you're feeling paranoid and don't have time to look up the set of magical incantations, maybe you should write your actual comments like this: // COMMENT we have to check that [...] :)

I think it's safest to assume that any `git` command that doesn't by necessity make a request to the remote repo (like `git {fetch,pull,push}` and others) does not make a request to the remote repo.

I was wondering why the word "haskell" didn't appear anywhere on the site (just the logo). Cheers.

A white American being Christian is so common that I wonder why the original poster felt that this was worth emphasizing.

I'm annoyed just by simple error-messages (like in Eclipse) while I'm editing in a "broke" state. I know that this class isn't valid Java yet, Eclipse; shut up! :)

The difference is that this editor will supposedly not even allow the code to be in a state of type errors . You literally can not construct a program that is not well-typed. Don't ask me how that editing experience is supposed to w

The editor (or whatever it's called) promises to only allow only well-typed programs. Not just syntactically correct programs.

So now the goal post has been moved from having more leisure time to an appeal to nature.

Could the reason perhaps be that Lisp macro facilities tend to be much more sane than C's pre-processor? Just a wiiild guess.

Why not have a "Show HN" if you're the one who made it (assuming from the URL)?

Curious that you chose to switch editor outright rather than just install some more modal package, after all those years. I chouse the former as the path of least resistance.

I guess the "problem" with understanding this perspective for us non-lisp people is that we may not be able to imagine all the places that we could have used macros (or something equivalent) if we haven't even learnt it. You

What on Earth is your point? You agree with my point that punishment is not eternal in Buddhism, and then go on to write about how karma works. Is your assumption that I don't know any of this, and that I need to know in this context?

That's a nice gesture and sentiment. But this kind of thinking would be a ridiculous way to live. A smile towards someone can be interpreted as you laughing at them, which wouldn't help someone who felt bad about themselves. Yes,
