For me, the fact that there are so many who really like git makes it worth recommending a cheat-sheet (or put up with it) for the rest, just to be compatible and have fewer tools to deal/learn with overall, but yes there are reasons so

I don't have details about that software, but there was something which I remember from the early 90's or so: software our church had for clerks -- "MIS" for membership info, and "FIS" for finance. A clerk wou

I find the sandwich helpful because I really do mean it, and otherwise I can be awkward with people and miscommunicate, easily. I think we agree that honesty is always important. The reason for the whole prioritization of kindness generall

Indeed, we all have to prioritize, based on carefully-chosen values and purpose for life. I linked to some details and previous discussions in a previous cmt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29266094#29269429 Edit: I

I think it is better called a "compliment sandwich". With practice, I think one can usually find something to praise about someone. Books called "difficult conversations", "crucial conversations", or similar

Especially the family part. That is the source of great personal growth, development of virtues (as we learn from each other and serve, and seek one another's comfort and well-being), and of long-term happiness and support in life. It

I agree much. Having a purpose in life can guide decisions. I believe life extends far beyond mortality, and what we become (virtues acquired, like honesty & kindness, learning) and our service to others are important. Edit: and earn

Agreed. I'm guessing is the "we can be trusted" service that comes only with longevity and size, and a track record that shows ability to protect data and manage things in the customer 's interest, which not many organ

More of a general answer than for CS, but for bachlors or masters (some are IT-related, maybe not as cool as you are looking for): check out WGU (it has been discussed on HN before, or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WG

I worked for a couple of places that did both, very well, I thought. Many years ago, at Micron, at Boise, Idaho, they made the general environment rather decent (jeans-and-running-shoes-allowed dress code), hot chocolate, and more important

The church I belong to says its mission, or our duty as mem bers, is to: 1) live the gospel 2) care for those in need (which we very actively work at, locally and worldwide) 3) invite others to come to Christ (love, share, invite) 4) unite

It's really interesting how Jewish culture has done something like that for thousands (I'm not an expert), with the annual passover family conversation. Edit: and/or other traditional Jewish yearly family events.

Or put yours in the data that a viable (old and growing) religion plans to preserve. :) See my more detailed comment elsewhere in the discussion.

As institutions go, and depending on the nature of the content, I suggest considering saving it in https://FamilySearch.org , if it fits properly in a "stories" or "photos" or such concept that can be related

You make an important point about pain and suffering, and I should have added: there are reasons it happens, and it might be summarized as: 1) we are in a "fallen" or very imperfect world, and things happen that are hard, even evi

Thanks for your commment. I belive in a being who said "Blessed are all they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.", and who is utterly able to keep that promise. Our current vision is limited. I have found that one can know

Congrats on some successes. I hope you continue to find things that bring joy. But please don't harm yourself or anyone -- not now, not later. I have learned for myself that life has purpose and is worthwhile, even when one can't

You can still use search engines, but once you learn your way around the documentation, you might find it is more reliable and quicker. To me, it seems worthwhile to have fewer 0-day bugs to worry about, and more reliable separation between

If there were such a virtual machine (and I have no idea), under my conception of God, it wouldn't have any bugs or flaws. :) For example, we believe He is the source of all light, is not subject to time in the same way we are, He know

I have learned for myself that God is real, our choices matter, justice and mercy are real things, and we can find good things that last forever, if we want. There is so much good there, that it makes everything else seem to me shallow by

And still, making an honest living doing decent work you don't necessarily love, to support a family, is honorable and noble. Many have been beloved by their posterity for doing just that. And it is often necessary. And families are
