No, this is not correct. There are people who go to church and use Jesus as a central moral figure, partake in many or all of the rituals, who nevertheless do not believe in god. Often you find this runs in families, because the intellectual tradition is that it’s fine to go to church and like Jesus, but reject any or all of the supernatural parts or moral teachings.

Then you have people that may have grown up surrounded by some of the trappings of Christianity, but because of their atheism, do not attend church and take part in only the most universal rituals (Christmas, basically, and even then, the Christian bits are mainly removed). Christian thought is not the moral or philosophical touchstone.
> I want rich applications that work in all languages (including input methods) and also play nicely with accessibility tools such as screen readers. That can't be, and shouldn't be, a tiny little executable.

Apple historically did a pretty good job of solving this by including a rich GUI framework in the OS. Even now, from what I've heard, that approach seems to work pretty well for Mac-only apps. But then, in your xi retrospective, you said the "native" GUI wasn't all that great even on Mac. And now, except for the indie Mac crowd, developers are generally expected to target multiple platforms. So now, I guess applications have to carry with them something that was formerly expected to be part of the OS.
The issue I have with (2) is that Ham's construction of the three choices doesn't take into account that what the modern mind and it's assumption about what is "factual" (and valuable) is substantially different from the ancient audiences that listened to these texts.

On the point of creation, while Ham contends we MUST take it literally or the entire veracity of the Bible falls apart, there is an inconsistency even within the literal YEC interpretation. Consider Genesis 2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." If God breathed into the nostrils of does this mean that God had lungs? A YEC would say "of course not, this is a metaphorical/poetic description of the action". And thus they reveal their inconsistency: the YEC demands a literal understanding of the first six days, but when pressed for a simple implication like this, they revert to a metaphorical understanding.

Probably. But I'm sure it's very short range. You can already theoretically snoop on someone, albeit usually with the resources of a nation state or maybe less, via display RF noise, keyboard noise (both RF and audible), powerline noise, etc. So much of what we do technologically is very RF noisy.

Yes. Would you lie in court for your spouse? Is telling the truth more or less important than whatever consequences they would face from your honest testimony?

Luke 14:26:

> If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple.

* https://biblehub.com/luke/14-26.htm

This is hyperbole, which Jesus uses relatively often. It is also more subtle in the original Greek: while we often use the word "hate", the original has more of a connotation of (IIRC) separate-yourself-from. See also:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_5:29

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_5:30

It is not that one's parents, spouse, siblings are bad in themselves, but that one has to be mindful that the source of being tempted to not act morally and doing the right thing can come from anywhere—even people that we would otherwise cherish.

To try to chip in on this with something useful:

I like the atheist movement, but there definitely is one major logical inconsistency in it. The whole driving motive behind atheism is that folks have looked at existing religions, where people believe in provably false statements, and – you know, that's "bad". It's bad because it's factually false.

The key thing is that the valuation of objective truth here goes way beyond just a calculus of hedonic means and ends - but is treated as something with inherent moral value. For most of these people (speaking from personal experience as one), if you're given a red/blue pill choice between "hedonic misery but knowing the truth of your existence" versus "ignorance and bliss", most of us are morally obligated to chose the former.

It's a bravery and honor thing. I don't want a security blanket of false beliefs. I want to know the truth.

But that right there - if we're rejecting the hedonic "means and ends" justification - has no logical justification whatsoever. The only reason we want to know "the actual truth" is a completely unjustifiable woo-woo piece of "just because we do". It's like an axiom - there's no proof for it or justification for it. It's just there. We value the truth for no freaking reason - we consider it just somehow morally good in some inherent, unprovable way - dare I say, because it's "sacred", somehow.

I don't mind making a religion out of pure truth-seeking. That seems like a great idea, honestly. But let's recognize it for what it is.
One of the most productive engineers I knew (who I’m guessing will read this) was in his 60s when I met him. He’s since “retired” and helped a company obtain a $1B valuation.

Similarly, my 85 year old grandfather still doesn’t own a wheelbarrow and will move stone, dirt, etc every summer. His motto is “keep moving”, I don’t think there’s really anything else to it. Yes you will slow down, but stay engaged and motivated and frankly you’ll outperform anyone because you’ll also have experience.
I think stay in line - at least the way I'm thinking of it, is a lot more negative than just bring an extra bottle. It's a demand for employees to skirt the rules or else they'll be punished and if they're caught skirting the rules they'll also be punished - oh and since you're a contractor you lack any rights normally afforded employees.

Basically, sit down, shut up and take it - we've got the power and if you try and object we'll can you and replace you faster than you can blink. And we might even find a way to make sure you can't qualify for unemployment.
I think the important part are the pauses. What works for me is to actually take that five minutes pause and really put an end to it after five minutes. Same for longer pauses.
But sometimes you just need to take your eyes off any screen, take a step back and take a walk or lie in the bed and think about your problem.

Modern a has been working on mRNA since 2010 and mRNA vaccines since 2012. They have the process down pretty solid, but vaccines do not bring in the bacon.
A lot of capability comes from the network you develop as you move through your career. This is also true in technical fields.
The most significant diffs between both vaccines occur in the untranslated regions located around the protein coding sequence and will never be present in the actual spike protein.

Regarding the protein coding region, because of the degeneracy/redundancy of the genetic code, all changes within it are synonymous and code for identical amino acids.

So you're doubling down on condescendingly explaining how to human. Cool.

Consider this: I have a high emotional IQ and acutely understand whatever lesson you think you're imparting here, I just don't have the kind of bullshit budget required in this context.

Here's the obvious consequence that no one ever seems to get, even with having it explained to them: if I'm going to have to start dropping things on the floor and make some people unhappy, guess who I'm going to choose to be the recipient? All the people most responsible for squandering the resources that were available.
If this were true wouldn't the religious be more "different" as in less likely to desire money or beauty etc. Yet I see no difference there.
No, maybe that's why I'm not seeing the ad?
>As an example, the time he got mad at a tree for not having fruit and cursed it to never bear fruit again.

A tree that was out of season, no less.

And this happens immediately before the verse where he chases out the moneylenders.

And on the way back, they pass the withered fig tree again and one of the disciples points it out and Jesus says "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them,"

Why can't GC coexist with memory pools? They both have good uses.

It's pretty clear that Go designers wanted a GC, but also wanted control over memory. In go, it is trivial to create a slice of structs that's contiguous in memory, and built-ins like 'copy' means the language designers wanted users to use this feature.

When I write go, GC is used almost always. Except when it becomes a bottleneck, at which point I trivially switch to memory pools. I just add a comment like "preallocate to avoid allocating in a loop", and move on. The next person that comes by my code would have no trouble understanding what happened there--unlike Java where using memory pools stops looking like Java.

I think when the Go FAQ mentions existing pain points, it means both GC'ed and Non-GC'ed languages.

Zig is cool because it went the manual layout route, but with a pluggable allocator. I think it's a brilliant choice, especially for embedded.
I think it got better, but unfortunately I never filed a bug documenting the bloat, so it's hard to track down what changed, or if I was simply wrong. My recollection is that most of the bloat was a per-invocation copy of the panic code, including formatting of the error message.

Class declarations are still heavy, cargo-bloat on the current druid-shell library is showing about 900 bytes per add_method, which can add up but is unlikely to be a major source of bloat.

I don't want to defend hiding the price too vehemently, but we should be fair here: there is a difference between "I cannot afford that", and "I'm not psychologically ready to agree to pay that" -- at the end there is an implied ", yet".

Hiding the price means a customer can't see a number and compare it against a competitor in a drive-by fashion. It means the customer has to self-vet to the stage of interest where they'll spend the time to fill in a form. It means that there is a high likelihood you'll get to have a conversation with them, which will hopefully stick with them even if they decide not to buy because of price. It means that if they decide not to buy, you're likely to hear about why. It means you can tailor your sales message to them. It means you can empathize with them and try to better understand whether your product will fit them, maybe what you need your team to build before they would be a good sale. And so on.

It's a very, very reasonable and sound tactic. I also don't like encountering it when I just want to know about something's cost, but it's not done for nothing.

We already give them billions a year ($8 billion in 2016 alone https://www.americanactionforum.org/research/broadband-subsi...) and
we gave them $200 billion to do this in 1996.

Nineteen Ninety Six. (http://www.niemanwatchdog.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=ask_this....)

Instead you have things like this: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151022/09232532594/fcc-h...

"For example, the companies apparently paid $96,000 so that Hee could receive two-hour massages twice a week; $119,909 for personal expenses, including family trips to Disney World, Tahiti, France, and Switzerland and a four-day family vacation at the Mauna Lani resort; $736,900 for college tuition and housing expenses for Hee’s three children; $1,300,000 for a home in Santa Clara, California for his children’s use as college housing; and $1,676,685 in wages and fringe benefits for his wife and three children."

What is this crap from them? "Yeah that thing you have given us hundreds of billions to build over the past 25 years and billions of additional dollars every year, and subsidize rural people $50/month to pay us for, yeah, we aren't going to do it and oh yeah, taxpayer run systems are illegal in 22 states. https://broadbandnow.com/report/municipal-broadband-roadbloc..."

They can screw off. Seize the industry and nationalize them. I'm so over it.

And I don't want to respond to any FUD about how governments, which have been able to pull this off years ago at a fraction of the cost in every other country "just can't do it" and how we need private industry, which has robbed us blind for a quarter century while failing to deliver is "the only solution". I do not practice your religious dedication to obviously broken systems and I don't care for you quoting liturgical verses from your favorite free market prophet. It's wrong, this is a giant unaccountable money hole. The only time we hear from them is when they need to make an excuse. Unless we are willing to fire them through nationalization they're utterly unaccountable.
Which is why you can buy so many apple parts on the grey market in China already?

Either Apple doesn’t care, the Chinese government doesn’t care, or they cannot stop the sellers and likely a combination of all of the above.
I know we like to complain about regulatory capture and all, but at least some bad actors do in fact get caught:

> In a complaint first announced in November 2020, the FTC alleged that Beam Financial Inc. and its founder and CEO, Yinan Du, also known as Aaron Du, promised users of Beam’s free mobile banking app that they could make transfers out of their accounts and would receive their requested funds within three to five business days. In fact, some users waited weeks or months to receive their money, which was particularly difficult for users who were struggling with lost income as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FTC alleged.

> ...

> Beam also failed to give users the high interest rates the company promised, the FTC alleged. Beam repeatedly claimed that users would receive at least 0.2 percent or 1.0 percent, but many new users received a much lower interest rate of 0.04 percent and stopped earning any interest after requesting that Beam return their funds, according to the complaint.

(from the PDF)

> IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants must provide full refunds of
the amounts held by or on behalf of Defendants for Covered Consumers (the “Full
Refund Amount”), which consisted of at least $2.6 million on November 15, 2020,
as follows

Then again, maybe this is just a slap on the wrist. This is equivalent to robbing a store, getting caught, and then the only punishment being "you aren't allowed in the store again, and you have to return the stuff that you stole." Which is pretty damn lenient by the standards of the rest of the US justice system.

Hopefully there will be a civil suit followup for additional damages. But even then, the company might just go into bankruptcy and the creditors are the one who get screwed. Meanwhile the executives who made the decisions in the first place just go home.
I think this is a little too optimistic regarding what consumers are willing to pay for. The Original Sin of the Internet was subsidizing everything via advertising revenue, allowing businesses to present services as "free" to end users (in reality, you're paying with your personal privacy). This culture has taken root very deep inside mainstream culture to the point that the average person would think it ridiculous to pay money for something they've been able to do for "free" for decades now.

I think a lot had to do with moving to the Bay Area for job security. After being unemployed after both major tech recessions, I wanted to move somewhere a little less risky. Moving to Bay Area is kind of a Faustian Bargain [1]. You gain better job security and access to companies that you absolutely wouldn't have in FlyoverTown, USA. But you also gain extremely crushing cost of living (eliminating financial benefits of higher salaries) and a workaholic-as-normal culture.

Another thing I realized was that I was simply wrong. Busting ass isn't what lets you become financially independent by your 40s. The peers I know who retired early, largely were lucky in the startup lottery. Some busted ass, most simply lucked into the right company.

Time to Shed Light on Greatness
This -- your reasoning -- seems so obviously true that I can only wonder if Gödel was joking, and anyone who takes this argument seriously is just plainly missing his little joke.

I mean, heck, this seems to be just a re-formulation in proper high-falutin' philomasophical terms ("For any x, there is a B such that B[x] = A", yadda yadda) of the old kindergarten argument:
1) God is the ultimate good; he embodies and incorporates all that is good.
2) Existing is good, certainly better than not existing.
3) Therefore, God exists; he obviously must exist, because otherwise he wouldn't incorporate all that is good (in this case, specifically, existence).

That's so laughably childish that these notes found after his death can't be anything but Gödel amusing himself, predating Sokal by decades.

You sound like a cool, mindful person.

I think a strong part of what you're describing is that you need to be on point with your non-verbal communication; you need to both tell people that you won't take offense to constructive criticism, and signal it with a lot of cues.

Telling people "this is an example of prejudice, this is how I react to it, if you don't act like this you're clear" is a pretty smooth move too.
