Reminds me of one of my favorite poems ever, written by a Chaplain during WWI: When Jesus came to Golgotha, they hanged Him on a tree, They drove great nails through hands and feet, and made a Calvary; They crowned Him with a

Personally I'd go back to the Windows 95 era and use that as a starting point for a new, consistent, predictable, ergonomic, universal, and aesthetic GUI framework. I don't think any of what we have today is the ideal.

There is a growth process in any profession. Nobody starts out as an expert just like nobody starts out as an adult. Wages to such are not a waste, but money well spent on training. There are degrees of skill, and jobs to match each level.

The more you trust in God, the more he will make it clear that your victory is caused by him, and remove all possibility for the explanation that it's just a coincidence, or that you're doing it on your own. When Gideon went up wi

Windows 3's design was a first shot. Windows 95 was extremely polished and well done. Windows XP was a response to PCs becoming mainstream and figuring what the everyman wanted was more flair and fashion. Windows 7 was a response to de

For a Christian, the same situation could simply be trusting in Divine Providence and not in ourselves or others for security (which so often fails us anyway). In that case, it would be a virtue.

Homebrew is the only thing I think Ruby is perfect for. It's just a DSL for describing how to fetch and build a program, like Makefiles but more convenient.

Yeah but then the dev has to investigate how to solve certain patterns in Qt's ways which they already know how to solve in the web frameworks, and just like with natural languages, sometimes there are no straightforward ports for conc

Not GP but Linux on laptops often has its own problems, including unreasonable battery usage that's non-trivially hard to fix.

It's not that it's unproved, it's that people aren't interested in hearing the proof, because it would mean they would have to change. If you are interested in explanations, watch a couple of Fulton Sheen episodes linked

Having depression is not a moral failure. But often it is caused by a lack of knowing how to handle moral dilemmas properly. The brain is just a conduit for the soul and this connection is called the mind.

Using pills to solve a moral problem is as ineffective and illogical as using food to solve sadness.

Jesus rose from the dead, that's a lot more reason to believe what he said than in Nietzsche's powerless words.

Heresy comes from the Greek word for "choose" and it always means to pick-and-choose what to believe, against reason. There are two faults of faith: doubt, or rejecting belief when there's a good reason for it; and superstiti

What kind of broken logic can conclude that this is the extent of my “scope” from what I said? An easier conclusion to arrive at is that I figure it’s one of the few memes we probably have in common, and chose it because memes are an excell

This is so incredibly confused. You live in reality. You exist. The things you can observe exist observably. People who choose to believe such existential nonsense remind me of the xkcd with the super soaker.

There is objective truth and objective reality. I’m sad that so many people reject this utterly necessary fact and spread misinformation against it.

The more people try to decide their own “truth” instead of living in reality, the more they will run into depression, despair, and suicide. The real solution to these is to encourage facing reality in its entirety, including being honest wh

It still confuses and unsettles me that Paint.net started as open source and then went closed source. I mean, people already had the source. All because someone tried to fork it? It just doesn't add up.
