   You can almost consider the Bible like a puzzle or riddle, that you have to solve using the entirety of it, as well as historical context, extrabiblical writings, personal life experience, and a humble and pure intent.

   Even if so, that only answers the "morals" part of what I listed. Where for example do they derive absolutely objective goals from?

   Absolutely objective values, rights, morals, principles, goals, means, and sustenance. Source: the Our Father prayer

   I admit that it's nice to have a very simple, straightforward, and minimal build process. No dealing with VMs, no setting up environments, just install Go and then compile your program. Reminds me of C back in the late 90s.

   It's related to John 2:23-25. He's not saying you should not have friends or trust anyone. He's saying you should not seek or hope anything from humans that only God can actually provide. It's related to codependence and

   I absolutely would pass this kind of quiz 100% with any New Testament quote, thanks to having put Life and Truth Dramatized Audio New Testament on in the background literally 24/7 for a few years straight. Also John Rhys-Davies reads H

    I used to love rainbow brackets when they became popular about 10 years ago. Now I find that I almost never care about bracket color, and often it's distracting and I'd prefer them to be the same color.

    As usual, I read the code sample before reading the article: for (i=0;i<3;++i) { /* Do initialisation here! niftyConfig = 1; funkyValue = 2; } There's no way it's mentally just as easy for me

    I once implemented JavaScript's new async-for in plain Objective-C for a WebDAV app that I wrote for a client, about 15 years ago. I was so much smarter back then than I am now. Does this happen to everyone? You just go downhill? Anywa

    Sure, Rust can compile old code. But you can't upgrade that old Rust code to new Rust code very easily. The fact that C was effectively "born old" means you can take a C89 program and compile it as C23 and it should simply

    I don't disagree with much of what you said. Form and function have to be married harmoniously, which inherently increases beauty. When form decreases function, so does beauty dissipate. And I think GUIs have gone in that direction. Th

    I wonder how much of it is the seeds of principles of beauty being planted, then watered over time, and finally sprouting at a ripe age. For example, I also am old enough to have used DOS before Windows 3.1 came out, which was my first GUI.

    I don't trust such books and research. The fundamental thing in question here is what makes Beauty beautiful, which I think is indefinitely mysterious and perpetually elusive. If anyone claims to have grasped at a few concrete conclusi

    Not GP, but he's absolutely right, it's been pissing me off for years now. Only thing I can remember off the top of my head is nested selectors still not highlighting properly. They partially fixed this a few months ago but th

    I used to be a die hard UI perfectionist. I thought there were perfect UIs, and that you could go more or less away from or toward perfection with choices. But lately, over the past 5 or 10 years, it seems to me that perfection in UI is jus

    They tried fixing that by creating widgets, but effectively had the same problem. Then they tried fixing that by making them always present, but then you just lose desktop space. I guess it makes sense if you have two monitors, but at t

    Am I missing something, or hasn't Microsoft done this since Windows 9x with apps like Explorer and Control Panel heavily using web views internally rather than "native" WinAPI GUIs?

    I never thought I'd get nostalgia for the UI of Windows XP of all things, that grotesque bastardization of the pure simplicity and utilitarian design perfected by Windows 98. But here we are.

    It's the same as this: int random() { return 4; // chosen by dice roll } Technically correct. But not really.
