Paul claims to have met Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3-6) [1] and claims apostolic authority because of it (Acts 15:3-8) [2]. Furthermore, other apostles agreed that he had, or at least that he had the correct message (Gal 2:6-10)

Probably more like doing what you're better at. Maybe one had the idea and the original vision, so they became CEO by default, whereas they might actually better at developing the product and should do the CTO role instead. But since i

This reminds me of an old gamedev story that I have no idea how to find. The project was getting near to shipping, they had cut all the space they could cut, but they still needed another megabyte of space. After a week of this, the senior

Microsoft doesn't have a dock does it? It's not in my Windows 10 installation, which has this weird combo of Awesome Bar + lag and Start Menu. Unless maybe it's an option I'm not aware of (as I actively try to avoid time

PulseAudio was the last straw that pushed me to get a Mac. When I switched to Ubuntu, wifi worked, sleep (and more to the point, wake) on my T42 worked, and audio worked. Each release after that something would break, and but you couldn&#x2

Viper mode could give you the best of both worlds, depending on what you like about vim. If it's the key navigation, viper has you covered.

Only if the events of the plot, or unrevealed information are critical to the story. Some stories tell you what's going to happen early on. You know Oedipus is going to kill his father and marry his mother, the story is about how event

You might try contacting them, indicating that you are passionate about their project, and would they be interested in hiring you as a 1099 for six months (or 20 hrs/week or whatever) to implement {feature}. I'm beginning to reali

IBM Watson, Google, Azure, and AWS all have speech-to-text APIs. IBM's claims to distinguish between different voices, although when I used it a couple of years ago for Japanese it was a little lackluster. It's pretty inexpensive:

For quite a while, thanks to the One Child Policy. The birth rate has about about 1.6 babies/woman since about 1990. It's been creeping up, but the current generation got used to the idea of one child per family. In addition, livi

The guy doing acoup.blog is doing essentially the same thing (free, well-researched historical analysis blogs), and last time I checked he was getting enough in Patreons per month to pay rent in major metropolitan areas in the US. It would

HN is how I stay current in my field. Back when I was doing some sysadmin stuff for work, I shifted to writing scripts in Python instead of Perl because people on HN kept talking about it and I wanted to see if I needed to learn it. Knowing

I hear people saying these kinds of things all the time, but I've never gotten any concrete evidence except "they choose what things to report and leave out things we think are relevant". Ok, that's everyone, you only ha

My experience (as a user) is that GTK on macOS is functional at best, and I find it an unpleasant experience, so macOS is definitely not ideal for that. No experience with Rust, but it isn't the path the tools expect, for sure. I'

I think this would be cool, but I can't see how reviving an cold-weather species in a warming climate is going to be an evolutionary success. Not to mention whatever other reasons they went extinct. I expect that this mammothy-elephant

I'm curious, what is your workflow? I'm asking because I'm assuming your real issues are with your stated reasons, since MacPorts is a "proper package manager" (being ported from one of the BSDs) and if you don&#x2

A single sheet of paper for a seven book series doesn't sound too macro, especially given how Smith describes obsessing over details. Compare with Straczinski, who had a whole binder of note cards outlining the 5-year story arc of Baby

Land is the typical recommendation. A noisy crowd thinks gold is a good hedge. Personally, I think that high quality companies with pricing power should retain their value; Coca-Cola and Apple can probably increase their prices to compensat

Oh, reality will have an impact, sooner or later. What happens when expectations are no longer attached to reality is "irrational exuberance", aka "a bubble". We're in the mania phase of the stock cycle. It's s

If the Conservatives think Singapore's state plays a small role, they must be thinking about some mythical Singapore, because the real one is pretty authoritarian (although it seems to act for the public good) and fairly involved. Also

Cloudflare seems like a promising stock, but the dual-class shares really put me off. It doesn't even look like Class B is even traded; at least for, say, Google, you can buy their Class B stock.

It seems fair that the monarch would have some influence over laws that affect them (especially farther back in the past). It seems reasonable for the king to be able to veto an act of Parliament that unilaterally confiscates the king'

I think the difference between a king and a dictator is that a king is the top feudal lord and a dictator is the top guy in a nation state. I think the options for becoming a monarch are: 1) the birth heir of a current hereditary monarch 2)
