Quoting the comment guidelines: The test for substance is a lot like it is for links. Does your comment teach us anything? There are two ways to do that: by pointing out some consideration that hadn't previously been mentioned, and by

Taking words out of context is not very new. See Matthew 4:1-11.

The self-evident fact that homosexuality is contrary to nature should be sufficient substance.

Who is "we"? Faithful members of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. And about this "the evil one"... how do you know what his/her/its desires are? Our Church teaches us so.

Who are you to say what a "wrong" idea of sexuality is? The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church teaches so.

This is similar to selecta[0] and peco[1] except it can be used in places those can't because it uses a GUI, so you could use it in program, even if the program doesn't directly let you use its stdin or even have any other UI. I&#

(Disclaimer: that last part was told to me as advice by a lone indie dev who makes about $189,000 per year off his lone Mac app and puts nearly all of the revenue in savings. So I have a bit of trust in that advice.)

Completely true. Kind of makes me want to look more seriously into making apps for Microsoft platforms. That said, Mac owners are generally far more likely to go out and look for new apps to buy. Whereas Windows users will find an app tha

I had a similar experience recently. I recently had an ingrown toenail. The last time I had one (in high school) I let it get so bad that after gym class my white sock would be entirely red with blood. I had to go to a pediatrist who ended

From my experience, the happiest marriages are of people who don't just "go" to church, but actually try to "live" their church's teachings in all areas of their lives. Churches usually promote selflessness, sa

Funny how we feel the need to do statistics and draw charts to figure out what makes a good marriage, when all that's really needed is a little common sense. 1. Communicate your feelings instead of bottling them up. 2. Be selfless and

Ahh, now I remember why these kinds of websites died out. It's exciting a lot like Minecraft, in that we can make our own little worlds. We exercised both sides of the brain by learning how to write HTML and maybe some Perl, all while

My trust in metaphysical and other such sciences dropped significantly on the day I realized that most modern conclusions are just theories and half of them have already been proven wrong.

After having used Emacs exclusively at work for a few years, I am in the process of switching to Sublime Text full time. ST delivers solidly on the excellent concepts that Emacs helped pioneer, including multiple cursors and using generic t

In my experience, window manager authors don't usually care if some other program looks bad. There's no real unity, and their attitude is just "not my program, not my problem".

Am I the only one who is frustrated by the plethora of desktop environments available for Linux? Why not just have just a single, highly extensible desktop environment instead? Is there any sane reason for having so many[1] mainstream DEs?

Having tried to write a window manager for X, I am always impressed by anyone who has enough followthrough to actually finish one. And I'm very eager to see if Wayland has a nicer and more sane API than X.

I'm a bit baffled by Go. The majority of developers I know (across several camps) strongly oppose Go, often to the point of ridiculing it. But then I see Go support being added to everything, usually by a few key people who strongly pr

I'm hearing an awful lot about Rust on HN, even though afaict it still does't have a basic http package yet, limiting the main types of apps I would build with it. Maybe I'm in the minority, but perhaps we can slow down on Ru

#2 is still a huge problem. Half the time I can't figure out what a new startup or project actually does for me. All I can tell is that they claim to be innovative and better than their competitors.

How does this ISP issue affect the internet outside the US? I'm guessing it's not really going to change "The Internet" as a whole, just us in the US.

Just noticed that it's using BitBucket to host the source code. Really wish the author chose GitHub instead, since network effect is a real thing and this will definitely make it harder for people like me to contribute back, not having

This reminds me of fucking_shell_scripts[1] but this looks a lot simpler and less angry. I love the idea of truly having no dependencies, since I thought f_s_s was actually written in Bash but turns out to be written in Ruby. BashBooster on
