Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for enlightening me!

A million words shouldn't take tons of storage, right? How big is your database? I spend around 500 megabytes on offline maps for OsmAnd and don't really worry about it. I would have naively guessed a million word definitions woul

It's not hard to generate a static collection of HTML from Markdown documents. Pandoc is probably my favorite tool for that job: https://pandoc.org/

My point is not that the default assumption should be either the supernatural or the natural, but that perhaps actual agnosticism is the humble stance.

A very good and relevant point. I was raised in conservative American evangelicalism, and sometimes forget how oddly small this culture is in the global and historical scope.

People who genuinely devote their lives to following Jesus do seem to be incredibly rare. I've historically believed in the Nicene Creed, but I doubt you could see much unconditional love in my practical actions, my ideals notwithstand

If you don't understand it, how do you know it's natural? Not saying it has to be supernatural, just that if you think it's not yet understood, being sure it's not supernatural seems like unfounded confidence.

You might want to look at some of the more modern / postmodern branches of Christianity. Some people who practice it sincerely don't think of the Bible as a literally true document that has no mistakes or inaccuracies, nor a ruleb

I asked a question about whether a recent outage was impacting SWF, as the status page showed that it wasn't. I got a confirmation from AWS staff in just a few minutes: https://www.repost.aws/questions/QUTPxjIgdcSW

I'm a fan of using code formatters to define how you lay out code in a file. Prettier is popular for that job: https://prettier.io/ For detecting functional/idiomatic/behavioral issues, ESLint is my go-to:

I'll argue that, in an ideal world, most of the questions you're asking here should be addressed before anyone writes code. A basic spec, with "here's the idea", "here's how I plan to prove the concept via

I was worried about this for several years. I then had the realization that if someone manages to genuinely automate programming, humans will wind up still being in the loop to confirm that the generated code is reasonable under the hood, a

That's a lovely, heartbreaking story. Thank you for sharing it.

Gotcha, makes sense. I can't claim to know much about 1st-century cults.
765.
by NateEag 5y ago
In every cult I know of, the worshipped man is physically present to benefit from the worship and control the followers. Christianity didn't really have that, ever, even if you take the Gospels as sober, rigorous history. They claim th

You might be an aphantasiac with high spatial skills. I'm an aphant with low spatial skills. Though, FWIW, it sounds like you have more internal visuals than I do.

Awesome. Again, thanks!

I'm a big fan of Hammerspoon. At least a few years ago, OS X's window management when plugging/unplugging external monitors was pretty bad. Thanks to Hammerspoon, I don't have to think about it at all - I plug in monitor

I've wanted to send YouTube links directly to VNC for ages, while having all others open in the default browser, but have never taken the time to hack up a listener. I already use Hammerspoon, so this should be a piece of cake to add.

Schlock Mercenary is a sci-fi webcomic with a fun thread about sapient dinosaurs fleeing Earth pre-impact. There's no good way to read just those strips, but it starts here: https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2018-07-25

I remember that too, FWIW.

Yeah, and as a result it's the one music service I pay for. It doesn't give me any control of which attributes I care about, which frustrates me to no end, but it does fairly well at turning up things I haven't heard before a

Later in the chapter they pass by it again and it's dead or dying, which is attributed to his curse.

Um... the cleansing of the temple (John 2:13 - 17) comes immediately to mind. And there's destroying that fig tree. His reported interactions with the Pharisees aren't exactly a model of calm detachment either.

It's been quite a few years since I last looked for the radio plays. IIRC, the tapes of the original productions were lost, possibly mislaid somewhere but more likely destroyed in a BBC archive fire. I've not personally listened t

I haven't watched The Chosen, but given how people are describing it here, I'm going to strongly recommend Dorothy Sayers' serialized radio play "The Man Born To Be King." Most adaptations of the Gospels make Judas

A few point out that 1) A ton of bluegrass sets grim, sad lyrics to bouncy major music - it's pretty much how the genre works 2) I'll Fly Away is a Christian song, so it's not exactly "looking forward to death" so m

I moved from Helm to Ivy a while back, but yeah. Booting into vanilla Emacs is almost a foreign country to me now.

It's a religious impulse. It may not be literal religion, in the sense of believing "God says this is the right thing to do," but it is the same underlying instinct - "This is Right, and I must do all in my power to serv

I was just thinking that someone should really implement this via extension. Then I thought "...assuming it isn't already built in somewhere." Looks like it's `apropos-documentation`: https://www.gnu.org/
