Exactly. The TTL is lowered in advance of the maintenance window, sufficiently far out to allow any entries with the old TTL to expire from most resolvers. Once the maintenance has been completed and validated, and sufficient time has elapsed to decide there are no issues requiring roll back, the TTL is raised back up to its stable value.

I agree. I first learned that Christian Atheist was possible in an Anglican Church in England.
Christians base their belief system on a collection of stories from 2000+ years ago and the idea of a deity and other planes of existence (edit: “Heaven” and “Hell”) of which no proof exists. Please correct me if any of the above is inaccurate.
I drank the Ruby Kool-Aid when I first got into programming. I thought it you weren't using Ruby on Rails, Heroku, Postgres, TDD, Cucumber, etc. that you were doing it wrong. I tried to take that attitude into my first couple jobs & it didn't serve me well at all. After nearly burning myself out on trying to find the right way to do things, only to realize that programming is more art than science & there are tradeoffs w/ every approach, now I'm more in the http://programming-motherfucker.com/ camp.

Oh, yes. Quoting Fulton Sheen:

"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."

In this case, I would include the majority of Catholics who are oblivious today about the very basics of what the Church believes, much less why, and practice it seldomly on one hand or cliquishly on the other. When the culture becomes hostile to the faith, it is little wonder that many fall away if all that kept them there was vacuous habit and social inertia. Obviously, if your ideas are primitive and stupid, and the culture within the Church enters a malaise, and the promised rewards of defecting and joining the popular chorus seem so enticing, then you will experience defections and apostasy. The intellectual mediocrity of people like Dawkins impresses only the uneducated or the mis-educated.

But frankly, the kinds of apostasies we're seeing in the US are mostly a formality. Those defecting are effectively apostates already. They're just not going through the motions anymore, either because they're tired of faking it, or because the social incentives of putting on appearances no longer seem to exist. You might even fear being seen as a "weirdo", though you will find that most people will admire, even feel intimidated by, a well-informed and educated Catholic who unapologetically and without a feeling of shame or cowardice is frank about his beliefs.

Of course, FWIW, the Church itself is growing in numbers. It is growing rapidly in Africa and in Asia, though Catholics, and more broadly, Christians are the most persecuted group in the world (persecution also tends to produce more conversions). The West is undergoing a period of cultural decadence. Whether it will survive or whether the carcass will rot out completely, I don't know. At the moment, it looks like the future of the Church is on those continents.

Feser has written a few other books that others might also find useful. I have greatly enjoyed his writing. Some find Peter Kreeft, himself a convert, a good introduction (his "Apologetics" for instance), and I've heard some good things about Scott Hahn. These are probably good entry points before venturing into the vast literature of the last few millennia.

You got the use case right, but I think you're still thinking about it wrong. In-use public DNS changes aren't something that just crop up and need to be done immediately.

Eg. Five days from now, I'm going to make an infrastructure change that will affect public DNS. Today, I lower my TTL on affected records. Five days later I make the public changes, still using the lower TTL. Once I am satisfied my change will stay in production, I modify TTLs to be more sane.

That’s the predictable, and in the end, best outcome. The most foolish thing cultural “christianity,” could do is pick a political party. Now that we’re a generation past that, the so-called “religious right” has evolved into a thin veneer of pseudo-religion over a very specific political faction, and that shallow falseness is driving most people away.

As for actual Christianity and those who study it, in many ways the teachings of Christ could not be more different than the “religious right” advocates today. Christ taught followers to love their neighbors as themselves, and not to judge other people, because in God’s eyes all humans were equally and impossibly flawed. When a mob formed to stone an “adulteress,” as was the prescribed punishment for that “crime” in ancient Judaea, Jesus said “let the person who is without sin throw the first stone.” The mob dissolved, and he told the woman she was forgiven.

Note that this is not what the religious-political faction of Jesus day wanted either, and in the end they arranged for him to be crucified as a result.
Better language or not Java is reigning king in enterprise companies. We have built our platform on top of Node.js assuming it would gain popularity but Node.js is nowhere near production use in large enterprises. Somehow the enterprise adoption has been miniscule. JVM performance is top notch. Many features like distributed transactions, messaging support, official libraries for enterprise applications like SAP is severely lacking in Node.js and hindering its adoption in enterprises.
> No, I'm attacking your claim that "numbers play a greater sway" in Dutch employment/investment practices.

An how would this claim be attacked by this passage:

> Yes, and I'm sure the Dutch robotically compute such numbers, and there is rarely or never any subjectivity in their decision making that is justified ex post facto by clever accounting.

How the numbers are derived is completely unrelated to how large the role they play is.

> The claim can be technically true, in that laws or cultural norms might require an employer to put numbers to paper to justify a promotion or termination (for example), while at the same time being misleading, in that the numbers can easily be used as an ex post facto justification.

So you aren't attacking the claim itself; you're merely saying that the claim is misleading.

> Bluntly, I am skeptical that the Dutch are any better at belaying their subjective biases than any other culture--anglo, asian, or otherwise.

Perhaps you are, but again, I never said anything of the sort, so I'm again pointing to that you are attacking a straw man.

As an side-note. I am sceptical of the existence of such a thing as “Asian culture.”; — I personally find that Chinese culture is further removed from, say, Japanese culture, than Japanese culture is from, say, English culture, especially after the cultural revolution in China. — I have viewed several cultural indicies which attempt to numerically classify various properties of various cultures and they do indeed tend to place Japan closer to England than to China in many respects.

> Your culture produced Pim and Geert: bluntly, it's hilarious that you think you're stating any truth, here.

None of which has anything to do with anything I said.

I find your claim that you aren't attacking straw men to be even more mystifying if you think this is an argument against what I said. This is an argument of the level of “If evolution be true? then how come atheists couldn't stop 9/11?”. — this is an absolutely bizarre connexion you made here of two completely unrelated matters.
That's too bad. Now the hysterical media will have to find something else to get worked up about.
I think you have a reasonable point embedded in a false dichotomy. People need to feel a sense of purpose, and that can come from spirituality, engagement with a community, service, fulfilling work, etc.

From my experience it is a common mistake to do overlap comparisons of intervals this way.

https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler/blob/df737e128...

IMO start time should be treated as inclusive, and end time as exclusive.

E.g. an event from 1pm-2pm does not overlap with an event starting at 2pm because it's end-time is defined as exclusive.

Therefore you need to replace one of you greater/lower-than's with a normal greater/lower comparison operator.
I would argue several modern problems trace to the collapse of churches as a social institution:

- loneliness

- lack of dating/marriage

- lack of community infrastructure

- lack of elder care

If you look at existing charities, much of the rubber meets road work gets done by churches or church affiliated groups.

You don’t have to like the message or the people, but I think it’s pretty obvious ditching churches without a replacement was a mistake.

Edit: reply here since rate limited //

> Yes, this can obviously vary by church--but it's a fallacy to claim that churches as a whole prevented loneliness.

No, you’re the one making a fallacy: your mothers singular bad experience doesn’t refute that churches made a statistically positive impact, which was my claim. You just told an emotional anecdote then declared that I’m wrong due to a straw man. (I never made a universal claim.)

> an entire generation growing up in the shadow of the 2008 financial collapse, as well as unprecedented debt from college

Okay?

The downwards trend in dating and marriage didn’t start in 2008 and doesn’t seem to hold across cultures — there’s a clear cultural component related to social changes in the US.

If you’re saying you think the collapse of churches is on par with excessive college debt as to why two-ish generations aren’t flourishing: I agree.

That’s my point.

> it's a self-selecting population that inherently echochambers, making it difficult to relate to outside groups, thus further damaging community

This sounds like a stereotype more than a fact — and is exactly counter to my experience, where multiple churches collaborate on things like homelessness charities.

That fine grained social structure is a necessary layer of how governments distribute resources effectively, one very poorly replaced by private actors. (In my experience.)

> you don't give any supporting arguments for them

I must have missed yours.

> you quite nicely fit the churchgoer stereotype in that way

Here’s the crux of it: you’re making faulty arguments because you need me to be wrong for your stereotypes to be right.

Eg, calling me a “churchgoer stereotype” when I don’t attend church and you made similarly unsupported arguments.

You’re just a bigot: factually wrong and stereotyping people.
I feel and felt the same. As many other commenters mentioned, a church must be a few elements in order to be sustainable: a community, a set of beliefs, an organization... and each one of these can be more or less important for the individual, and each on of these can go awry in its own way, often without affecting in the same way the other individuals or the other elements. Thus the discussion becomes even more difficult, when individuals have different experiences on each one of those dimensions. I think calling the debate "comparing apples with oranges" is a massive understatement.
And society not giving an adequate UBI to help make people anti-exploitation is why unionizing has needed to become a thing.

I do not own latine disco. I did work through exercitia latina I, and it is great!
And yes, Roma Aeterna is the second book.

But you only need familia romana. Everything else is cherry on top, extremely useful if you want to write latin and it will help your learning a lot.
However if you are strapped for cash, are not interested in writing, don't have lots of time, want to jump quickly into reading the Bible... Just go with familia romana.

Furthermore op is giving lots of exercises, so that makes exercitia less relevant.

But at the end of the day is your money and your choice. I am happy I have Roma Aeterna, but I did not finish it, and I read medieval works quite fluently. I just wanted to put that info out so everyone can make their best buying choice.
You are very free to get annoyed. Enjoy.

If more user engagement is the key, the agile philosophy would be a sentence rather than a manifesto.

Instead it was a bunch of vague maxims, that became a cult collection of heuristics (nominally rooted in Java, as much as it claimed to be polyglot).

The counter-argument to this is "No True Agiles-man", so the brand never needs to take responsibility for the reality, and this defense is as much a part of the culture as anything. It's like agile is a religion, and the manifesto is the religious texts - selectively ignored or interpreted as needed. No, I don't feel this is much better than waterfall, especially as even that could have evolved into more user engagement, without the mantras ("waterfall is bad" itself being a mantra) - why can't waterfall be a "tool in the belt", or a reasoned stage in the process? Why can't agile principles be taken individually rather than adamant on the whole? Why can't sometimes people be more important that process, and sometimes process more important than people? Why can't we have a plan (moreso upfront), and still respond to change?
Religion has nothing to offer that secular society cannot offer.

While this might be true in theory, I have not found it true in practice. I am no longer religious and I have not attended church for 20+ years, but despite trying many of these secular 'alternatives' to church I have yet to find anything as open, welcoming and socially supportive as I found church.

edit: Yes, I know this isn't everybody's experience, and yes some churches can be extremely bigoted, exclusionary and downright evil to people they perceive as 'others'.
What if it's "not secure"? (against what, what is at risk?) How much will be the fine? Will someone be arrested?
> What would that be?

not OP, but I would presume "the claim" is that (a) there is a God, (b) the church knows which one, and (c) they know what he wants.

For comparison, I (atheist) normally state my position as "There is insufficient evidence to conclude there is a God," so any statement about there being any god, or about what influence they should/do have on our lives I treat as a "claim," which requires supporting evidence.
Yes, there are abusers and that is heinous. The catholic church has done unspeakable amounts of damage to Christianity. However, that damage was done by going against the teaching of Christ who warned against such evil saying: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Mark 9:42. There will be justice. I can't imagine having a worldview where these evil people just die and cease to exist. Totally escaping justice.
Interestingly the Python standard library behaves similarly (on Python 3.9.2):

>>> import ipaddress
>>> ipaddress.ip_address('010.0.0.1').is_private
True

Even though the documentation claims that "Leading zeroes are tolerated only for values less than 8 (as there is no ambiguity between the decimal and octal interpretations of such strings)."

Interesting. Can you give a few examples of what questions these are?
We already have a term for it: victim blaming. Just because someone is using a valid issue (sexism) doesn't mean they aren't using it as a weapon. When the victim acts in a more cautious manner that's perfectly reasonable. To call them out on that (non-imaginary) fear is victim blaming. The abuser in this case is someone with a personality disorder or some other mental health problem that means they will use any tools at their disposal to manipulate or control another person. It's not sexism, it's prudence. One would use the same prudence against men who used something to manipulate or control them. It would look different, but it would be the same thing.
It's these kinds of subtleties that make polls/census data on this hard to interpret? Has attendance declined? Adherence? Donations?

They might just be measuring an evolution in what "member" means to respondents.

I live in Ireland. Huge secularization over the last generation. I think it would be hard to narrate that story with church membership and/or census data alone. Even church attendance doesn't always mean what you think it means. It might not imply membership, beliefs or even census reported identity.

IMO, the more interesting questions relate to what the churches preach, and how that evolves over time.
It doesn’t sound like the author has ever operated a large scale service. There are reasons why every big operator has short TTLs and it isn’t because they are stupid.
> "Did you consider this specific aspect of niche-thing-only-I'm-working-on?"

I've seen 2 kinds of people that usually make this comment. Some do because niche-thing is the one they currently know better, and they have to make some comment, so they ask about what they know better. The others are the more interesting kind, they ask because they want to use niche-thing in some new way, so if you did for a chance consider it, they are very interested in it, and if you didn't, it may be an opportunity for them.
