You're straw manning when you say things like "cares about the sexual life of humans". I highly recommend you watch this to broaden your horizons: https://youtu.be/If3cNUixEBM

Proper religion and science do not disagree. I am a person of faith (which is backed by evidence), and my faith pushed us to seek knowledge. The Islamic Golden age is a testament to that fact. Scientism is not what you defined. From wikiped

> Religions are based on a lot of completely made up stuff Did you survey all religions to make such claim? And it's not like you don't need axiomatic bases that need to be accepted as is to base science on. There's a lot

Because they're following the religion of scientism.

It's a metaphysical assumption, meaning beyond the realm of experimental science. Science has inherent limitations, and cannot be used to explain everything. This is a good starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

I'm not a Christian, but it is a fallacy to assume that the only way to arrive at truth is through controlled repeatable experiments. Watch this lecture to get a more nuanced view on the subject: https://youtu.be/If3cNU

Did you watch the lecture before claiming presupposition without evidence?

> When a religious person says they "believe" something, it means they operate as if it were true even though they have no evidence to indicate it as such (a.k.a. the god of the gaps). That is not true. As I pointed out, belief

Who was behind that plan?

by al_mandi 4y ago
I'm a person of faith. At the same time, we point out that the religion of "scientism" exists whether people admit it or not, especially when they claim that they "believe in science". Correct faith and science are

A good example about why interest (usury) is evil.

by al_mandi 4y ago
By prohibiting interest bearing loans, loans become relegated to purely an act of charity, and as you point out, there will no longer be businesses that are built only or mostly to lend money and profit off of usury. And that's a good

So you're basically now paying rent to the government. Want to really address the problem (and many other problem with today's economic system)? Prohibit interest bearing loans.

Why wouldn't it? Contrary to what some very narrow circles believe, it's by far one of the most safe and mature ways to build scalable, performant, reliable, and long lived software. Especially on the middleware and backend side.

Yep, Islam banned it over 1400 years ago.

The real problem is that running an economy on interest and usury will result in the outcomes we're seeing today. Let's address the root cause and not the symptoms.

I don't believe in economic "consensus". Just a few months ago, they were talking about how inflation was "transitory" until it wasn't.

How do you handle profiling/debugging and the many more things that VS does?

I see a lot of lack of appreciation for older, more experienced programmers in the field. Perhaps this is why things keep getting reinvented all the time, and the pendulum keeps swinging back and forth as we don't learn from previous g

It's not mutually exclusive. Tax money is being wasted left and right, people don't want to pay even more taxes to account for the incompetence that's happening.

Not to mention that Apple has factories in provinces that use forced Uighur laborers.

Furthermore, Carmack mentions that this aversion to debuggers stems from the Linux bias.

I'm curious about the cost of hosting if you're using plain ol' VMs instead of lambdas (EC2, etc.). What are those functions written in? Unless you're going to say C/C++/Rust or a similar language, I'm not
