that seems pretty antithetical to the concept of 'all powerful'. It doesn't seem like god is too concerned with free will anyway, at least according to the bible. If you read the story of pharoah and moses, it is clear that g

i wonder WHY he believed that, what evidence he had to think it was true?

Odd that an all powerful god would choose text written in dying languages, easily susceptible to being lost or destroyed, as the preferred method of communication.

don't disagree, i find it interesting that people get unbelievably angered when individuals record them in public, but could care less when business do. I could understand some difference in reaction between the two, but the actual gul

i certainly feel for the problems people have in this regard, but it can't possibly be limited to one software package. Clearly any US based product is going to incur the same expense, and as such, Adobe products add no greater egypt

Sure, basic writing is probably still important, but more nuanced things, for instance, do students really now need to learn the form of an argumentative essay? That is/was a good skill to have. But now or in the future one could say

It makes one wonder, do students need to learn how to write? The question has been asked before in a 'simpler' context. Do students need to learn long division? Seems like if not now, soon, the answer is no.

i'd say innovate, improve, and make your product more robust so that the cracked versions pale in comparison to what the paid for versions have, then they turn into marketing pieces for the real thing.

I completely agree. If companies really thought PTO was important, they would enforce a minimum PTO policy. You MUST take off 3 weeks a year. (or whatever). If you don't take it by the end of the year, they remove your card/net

you'd have to compare the US far right, with other modern countries far right's i guess, to determine if it was accurate or not. You'd also need to compare the US far left against far left's in other modern countries. I

I doubt it's age related. There could be medical reasons for it, sure, and perhaps checkin with a doctor, but for some definition of 'normal' you aren't going to decline at all at 40. Likely more social, emotional, psych

if only 100W would produce any meaningful amount of heat, that would be wonderful. A simple space heater runs at 1500W and can only barely help heat a medium sized room as supplemental heat. Unfortunately (for heat purposes), computers wast

Unless you are using a laptop (as these processors aren't mean for) or are running a datacenter (which these processors aren't meant for) does anyone really care about 65 vs 150w differences?

it implies a product, like a repl for log4j, to me. So the lazy says, i'm not using log4jshell, so i'm good.

A couple of clarifications that i expect everyone knows, but still should be said. In all practical sense, no one "at Apache" has released any remediations for log4j. There's just a bunch of random people, probably like 3 aro

There's a word for people who think health care is very good.... "healthy". There is nothing like illness to dissuade you of that belief. I'm not talking about the cost, or administration of healthcare, which of course i

it's also possible that the stories are a conglomeration of multiple itinerant rabbis of the time. There were obviously dozens of "gospels", but only 4 were officially selected several hundred years later.

I can't imagine that the time, cost and trouble it is to find a consultant to teach you git would be more than just going on line and reading up on it. There are a gazillion sites that explain enough of it very well.

watching many youtube mechanic channels, i get the sense that they seem to think that 2000 era cars were better than today's car. The common missive is that they now have really cheap parts, and the cars are over controlled by compute

The crazy thing is that Java went up a percentage point. The story here (seems to me) is that a bunch of languages are cratering [at least according to Tiobe], not that python,c,c++ or java are growing.

Unless you can't _not_ finish a project, you aren't going to. Having other people tell you what's important to you isn't going to work. You don't have a project that is important to you to finish, (yet). So don&#x2

My company largely abandoned the use of office buildings all over the world. I can't imagine how much money they are raking in because of it. Why anyone would want go back to that (besides real estate owners), is beyond me.

Just trying to learn here, not being combative, couldn't the same compiler support have just enforced the non nullness? At first you think, how do you enforce someEnum = getAnEnumSomewhere(), but at some point there's got to be an

by mbfg 4y ago
I always wondered why enums in java were allowed to be null. Seemed like something they could have enforced. Could have just had some sort of 'default' attribute on a value.
