That is a myth. The accuracy of most translations over millenia is frankly unbelievable when compared against other sources and ancient manuscripts such as the Dead Sea scrolls, Josephus, etc. Even comparing LXX/Septuagint and Vulgate

Honestly, most of those seem like strong marks in favor of Hyperbola! :) Now I'm wondering how easy it is to keep it automatically updated/maintained and how often config or packages break during upgrade.

I like it. Kinda cool, and looks like it took a substantial effort. Completing the puzzle is great too.

And, just like that, you turned the rest of this thread into a meta discussion about HN rather than about the topic. It's ironic, because that really hurt the SNR more than a duplicated, but on-topic, comment.

And with the Estate Tax (the 'death tax'), if you don't have significant savings (most farmers do not), when you die, your kids will have to pay the tax on their inheritance. And since it's really hard to sell just part

not sure why you're being downvoted. It's what Metafilter and Whatsapp did (but delayed until the following year, IIRC). Maybe Metafilter isn't the best example :)

They probably don't consider themselves (and, as a University, could probably make a strong case) that it's not Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), which is the only thing that CAN-SPAM applies to. And I have to disagree with th

Reduce the power of the govt to regulate things at the federal level and instead move that power to the states. This will return power to the people, and people will naturally move to states that are delivering for them (whatever that is th

I'd switch to Userify if you have a team to distribute keys for, because it's ultra-lightweight and also keeps you from messing up permissions on the ssh key/directory, which I've done too many times! (also it does sudo

I don't disagree about avoiding lock-in, and I'm sure it was hyperbole, but if you really spent thousands of dev-hours (approx 1 year) on tweaking nginx, you needed different devs ;) ALB costs get very steep very quickly too, bu

If most queries take ~ 1s on a relatively small 80MB dataset, then it sounds to me like they really needed to run EXPLAIN on their most complex queries and then tune their indexes to match. They could have probably stayed with SQLite, in fa

Fundamentally, the human body seems to be an incredibly complex system that is far more dynamic, rapidly changing, and with far more unpredictable interactions than any of those other fields. It's fascinating that, at least on some axe
