Eventually people can be educated, but what you have to do is find a way give them the experience, to put them in the situation. Sometimes this can only happen by making real the thing you are describing, but sometimes by dint of clever ar

If God in Genesis really wanted the sacrifice to happen, he wouldn't have stopped Abraham before it happened. Hebrews chapter 11 has a more detailed explanation of what was happening there in Genesis 22. You can't understand the s

I'd be wary of thinking that it'll take that long. Live in Shenzhen and it is crazy the amount of progress here every year. Public transportation is way better than most American cities and housing is more expensive than most Am

I have heard people rave about stuff like that. I think it's a Wizard of Oz type of thing. Once you pull back the curtain, the magic is lost. For us, the curtain is non-existent. For people who aren't familiar with computer sy

If you have no scruples about getting free money, you can use the time to do whatever the heck you want. If you want to feel like you earned the money or you're not allowed to do anything outside of your scope, then yes, it's pro

That reminds me of the story of Nazi officers telling Jews to carry big rocks from one fence to the other each day. The work was so meaningless that the prisoners couldn't take it anymore and started to jump onto the electric fence to

OK, having parsed your comment again on a larger screen, I don't think you've missed the parent's point. But I do think you took an unnecessarily long, roundabout way to ask your question, which I also think didn't need

I read an academic paper yesterday that read exactly like you. It's crazy hard to parse the words without my eyes glazing over. I fear universities try to teach students to sound clever and intellectual, not clear and comprehensible. I

I would not consider a brand new file system to not be notable. Maybe for average consumers it wouldn't matter much, but for us, we probably should appreciate how big an endeavour a new file system is.

The complaints here about how the new macOS does not have anything exciting or interesting is weird. I thought the best thing about the new macOS (and iOS) is that it's supposed to be Apple focusing on stability, rather than new featu

Is GitLab profitable, or will it face the same issues GitHub did and also need to find a sugar daddy? If so, can see Apple getting on this eventually.

I know what you're saying, but I think it's easier to conceptualize if you write the equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity The other way lends credence to the thought that an increase in liabilities requires a decrease in equity

This is interesting. I'm hearing more and more examples of cities are pulling out more and more stops to attract people. Maybe I was just ignorant about them before. Free land if you move to the Yukon to do farming: https:/&#

Honestly, I'm not interested in buying an OLED device until it can be confirmed that burn-in won't be a problem for at least 4 years. That's just me being stubborn....

When an aircraft crashes and the NTSB gets involved to investigate, does the aircraft manufacturer get sued? I don't know. Why can't we set up something like the NTSB for critical infrastructure stuff at least? I can see how setti

That was five years ago and I have no plans to pursue my PMP at any point in the future. Because what you learn to get your PMP and what you need to manage software projects are not the same set of skills...and nobody seems to realize it.

Can you explain the biomechanics of what you mean? Not sure how elbows and shoulders relate to proper and improper mousing.

In the first example, the acquirer takes the loss, but can hopefully provide enough cash for the acquired company to survive until the company figures it out (see YouTube). In the second model, the shareholders take the loss; there is no s

I believe for all of Microsoft's business services, you can submit a real ticket to real support people. Completely possible with my organization. It better be too, given that we pay them maybe $15,000/year for Office 365 licens

Thing is that my wife is also a target user, and she does not have an inclination to use a command line-based app.

Right, I believe that jives with my point about how this philosophy of app deployment doesn't make for a good long-term business. I guess their line of thinking is the same as mine, but they come to a different conclusion because they

Target user will also be my wife who would really love a super user friendly app. Figure it'd be a good test of my design skills also. I've really only made enterprise stuff in the past where good UI was not really paramount, as

With all these subscription-only apps that are proliferating, I am curious how many enterprising app developers would be interested in making and marketing "cloudless" apps that rely on up-front high prices for revenue, but nevere
