Rails 7 and Ruby 3 are excellent. They both got major companies (Etsy, Shopify, Github, Gitlab, Airbnb,..) backing them and are not going away at this point. Great choice if you are looking to get work done with a mature ecosystem and settl

And yet the violent BLM mobs that literally set on fire and looted businesses and shops that had nothing to do with the actual cause were not only not condemned but also glorified and celebrated. You will not convince me that stealing TVs f

By January 2023, uBlock Origin stops working with Manifest V3. This is the future people are advocating for with Chrome dominance. Firefox has temporarily saved itself from this but don't worry, Google will eventually tie their hands a

First, in a very real sense, the modern physical sciences came from religion. The great founders of science—Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Descartes, etc.—were, without exception, trained in ecclesially sponsored schools and universit

I mean, why on earth would you not use existing infrastructure and always keep writing code from scratch ? If I see an engineer constantly do this, I would think that they are insecure and are constantly attempting to prove that they are &q

Where did you hear such a thing? As a Catholic, I regularly attend Church and we have many people (even entire families) who either join after a long period of being away or leave the faith all together. We miss them of course but no one se

No one is forced to be a Catholic. LGBTQ and Homosexuals are welcome to leave at any time. Those who join Catholicism, clearly understand the Catechesis (as they have to go through RCIA) and if they conclude that they don't fit, they c

Thomas Aquinas saw a connection between the metaphysical existence of God and the values of morality in the sense that they are both grounded within His existence. In other words, Aquinas saw God as the basis for and to all we experience. F
