It's interesting to me that the focus of these verses has always been on the "impossibility" of rich men entering the kingdom of Heaven. When 2 verses later it says with God all things are possible (in reference to what He just said about the eye of the needle). In my opinion I think Jesus Christ makes it pretty clear throughout the Gospels especially in His sermon on the mount that there are diverse paths to Hell and those paths are broad and "easy" (Matthew 5 doesn't say those terms exactly but the sentiment is there), but the point is not that we're all going to Hell in fact it is far from it. It's that there is a way to Salvation and that we all need that way. The idea conveyed here is the same as breaking any other law of God that you don't really have a chance of making it to heaven without God. In fact that's a little too specific of a condition really it's you don't have a chance of making it to heaven without God even with all the good works in the world (notice this is to say it is necessary God is in the equation to make it to Heaven).

Also another often misquoted bible verse is "Money is the root of all evil" when really it says "For the love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). That chapter is a good read for what makes having or wanting riches often lead to evil (for those who don't want to read it; it basically says coveting, lusting, and setting your heart upon riches, instead of God, is evil).
you are of course correct on all points, but the article links to his previous article https://boston.conman.org/2023/11/19.1 which links to this dumb meme at https://linkedrecords.com/the-big-tdd-misunderstanding-8e22c... originally saying

> Originally, the term “unit” in “unit test” referred not to the system under test but to the test itself. This implies that the test can be executed as one unit and does not rely on other tests running upfront

which is historically incoherent. the author has weakened their post to now say

> Rumors have it that the term “unit” in “unit test” originally referred to test itself, not to a unit of the system under test. (...)

which is still reckless disregard for historical accuracy but now at least it's deniable
Agree. The "reality distortion field" around Nextcloud fans is second to none. I hear it being touted as a replacement for Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Docs, OneDrive, Office 365, etc. Unfortunately it's none of those.

No, it's like func("22", 2)

If you're not familiar with C, you might be unaware that there needs to be some way for code to know where the end of the string is. Supplying the length is a common way to achieve this (this other being a sentinel value (i.e. a null terminator)).
> which would be easy to solve by giving money to the poor

Nope. What good is money if everyone has it? If you give everyone one million dollars, all you've done is turn one million dollars into the new one dollar bill. And that's being generous, it will probably be worth even less.

I have no idea why people think the government is some evil entity which refuses to give money to the poor out of spite. That's not how an economy works. Even worse is the fact people who believe this get to vote into power politicians who put it into practice. It's literally happening in my country right now and the economic distortions are already observable. It can only be sustained if you subtract money from others via taxes. That money's gonna run out eventually because why be productive when you can apply for government benefits? There are little cities in my country where almost everyone is sustained by this.
You can't judge evil without a backing value system to do so. Not assuming a value system presumes there is no such thing as evil. Which sure, if that's what you want to advocate for then go for it.

But for those of us who do have a value system we'll continue to use it in deciding whether something is evil or not.

I do this, but I run a private instance in MediaWiki which is only reachable either from the home network or via the VPN.

The nice thing about this setup is that editing is pleasant (and fast in iteration), I can use categories to group pages together and I can use some interesting plugins, like the one to embed PDF files into wiki pages.

The latter (embedding PDF files into wiki pages) is particularly useful because I can browse appliances manuals directly from the wiki page itself or download them if necessary, and I have a "Manuals" category where i can find all the manuals I have collected so far.

A quite recent UX disaster at Paypal.

The Paypal iOS app used to behave strange with numbers. The interface was designed that you had to type in the amount you wanted to send in cents. If you wanted to send USD 50, you had to type 5000. Paypal then would add a comma after the second digit from the right. What made it even stranger: The numbers were aligned right, so it had the feeling of typing backwards. I never really got used to it.

A few weeks ago, without a note, the whole interface changed. Now you HAVE to fill in the comma. If you just type in 5000 like you did before, you would send USD 5000 instead of USD 50. I personally know of one person who send way to much money and I suspect it is because of this UX change.

Thoughtful design matters!

I’d definitely say both. The social networks combined easier / more polished experiences to get a lot of people over but then they really ramped up the social tricks to get people to stay longer and look at more ads.
It is not just a matter of surprise, though - in the presence of foreknowledge, it is harder for the author to create, and the reader to feel, any sort of dramatic tension.
Exposure is a known counter to anxiety though. The comment doesn’t say “just stop being anxious”, it says “just try and then reflect on how bad it actually was”. It will be bad, but not as bad as your anxiety screamed. The first question therapists ask is “what’s the worst that can happen, in your opinion?”. Even the hypothetical answer is usually much less catastrophic that the feeling itself.

But the wrong level of exposure may lead to an escape and reinforce the problem. So don’t start with e.g. going on stage like you don’t start lifting with 100kg.

Same for unattended anxiety, it reinforces automagically without proper reflection.

It should also be noted that anxiety as a set of sensations and mood isn’t equal to inaction. The mistake people often make is equating it. “I fear so I’m not going there”. Pushing through fear is a fundamental skill. I’d say that anxiety is when you avoid fears instead of avoiding bad situations — there it is born. Exposure is about being exposed.

I’m anxious af if that matters. Just woke up today with another flush. Although it isn’t anywhere near the seemingly unexplainable levels I had two years ago, before researching it.

I don't know where you live but that's not how it works most places. I know lots of divorced people. They don't live together any more. The woman gets full custody of the kids for all the reasons I mentioned above, but again, it's more about what the kids want. Even if they choose to live with their mother the father does get to see his kids. But he can't continue living with his ex, and they both live busy lives and have other relationships, so he can't just drop in to see the kids whenever he likes. Which is why they decide on a schedule. That's how it works with almost every divorced couple I know.

Although true that it's great article.

It states that python is faster then c, that is not possible since python is build with c. There could be other reasons such libs or implementation.

Also note that the issue he had was not resolved.

The comment was about that python is seen as slow. But that is not always the case.

Once a dev is able to understand the difference between the python and c parts. Python can be quite performant, and efficient with memory.

But if one would actually create a application that does more then just read a file it will be slow again compared to c and rust.

First example is not clear cut at all.

The project sounds successful overall to me. Yes, they had to do more than they thought going in. That describes most engineering efforts.

Does the author think that operating system API churn just won't affect native somehow? Or be improved when even more of your application surface area is in the native space?
You don't like the argument because you know it to be true. The exception is the settlements in the West Bank, but those began after extremism in Israel rose considerably. That is a severe problem, but if people excuse terrorism as resistance, the same would apply here.
Even in the case you manage to make a statically linked executable that works consistently, you still have to compile it to all platforms. And have to debug it on all platforms. And still have to download, hunt down in the file system and potentially require admin to grant rights to run it. With web it's just link or url and works the same with any underlying OS if you're not using some bleeding edge features.

And at least IMHO the languages and tools are far from very good. Qt Creator is horrid, Qt C++ is a weird language of its own and requires hackery like moc. And if you want to do something not included in Qt, it's often welcome to the hell that is CMake et all.

Delphi is proprietary, Windows-only and the language is niche and IMHO not very good even compared to Qt C++.

interesting, i appreciate the correction. for some reason the google books date range searches linked from the n-grams page weren't loading for me, and the corresponding internet archive searches are also broken

there also seem to be some search hits from 'unit tests' for education, in which the 'unit' is presumably a course or subdivision thereof; https://www.google.com.ar/books/edition/The_Organization_of_... is an example, though sadly google refuses to show me any excerpts, perhaps because i'm in a country they don't like

https://www.google.com.ar/books/edition/Naval_Training_Bulle... does show an excerpt

so i guess the engineering use might date from later, perhaps as late as the 01960s
> Haven't heard the term, and I'm not from a western country

Understood. Indian music uses Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa-Dha-Ni, but it means the same thing. The key to understanding that system is that Mi-Fa and Ti-Do (Ga-Ma, Ni-Sa) are half-step intervals (consecutive frets on the guitar), every other interval is whole step (skip a fret). Historical Western solmization doesn't even use Ti (the indian Ni), so everything always revolves around that single Mi-Fa and there are fewer syllables to remember - "mutations" where the syllables rotate in meaning are used instead. (If you search for videos talking about "Italian solfeggio" there's an episode of the Nikhil Hogan podcast talking about why these older systems actually make musical sense, despite seemingly being more complex. This system was what professionally educated musicians learned back in the 18th century.)

So if you know what solfège note you're playing, that tells you immediately how nearby places on the guitar fretboard will relate to the scale. Notes on other guitar strings are also related musically via interval relationships that depend on the tuning, and can be derived quite easily or committed to memory.

BTW, I think anyone who's interested in music to any extent should learn to read standard notation, even if they only play guitar. It's the language that literate discourse about music has relied on for hundreds of years, at least in the West. And the basics are quite simple, being founded on the diatonic scale just like solfège.
Seems like vaporware for now.
When I bought a house, the prior owners requested I return the front door to them within N days, the contract had a section keeping $500 in escrow to be returned to me upon receipt of the door (by the shipping company, I believe).

My realtor was like, "this basically means the house costs $500 more", but I went ahead and returned the door.

If you're faced with that situation in the future, you could try including a clause like that in the contract; the $500 wasn't really the motivation for me to immediately replace the door and pack up the old for shipping, but putting a little money on the line might motivate the buyer to at least value the feature you'd like returned if they don't care for it.
I wonder how would the boss explain it to his bosses/shareholders. Was that totally a known possible outcome that merely surfaced by chance and subsequently handled without issues under his leadership, or...?
Aye! The way I used it when tinkering with Peertube (not making the content to make it worth keeping things going yet) was to set up secondary Peertube servers dedicated to this function to spread the load across multiple servers rather than use the p2p side of things - I wasn't sure of the GDPR implications of p2p

It worked really well at least at the small scale I was testing with :)
> Israel funded Hamas when it was founded

That was the more extreme version of Hamas, vs the Hamas that Netanyahu was funding in 2009, so you’re arguing against itself.

Either way, funding Hamas, who is dedicated to destroying Israel, in order to create a more friendly group? That makes no sense.

Preventing a united Palestinian organization, that actually makes sense.

> It was obviously a mistake, but only with hindsight.

At which point did you realize it was a mistake?

Perhaps the person who made the mistake is not who we should be lending our support to?

Bringing up the Holocaust here is an admission that you would rather distract with emotions than engage with the topic.

It's not stating python is faster than c in general. This is just one very specific case where non-page-aligned memeory reading on AMD is involved.
This is an absolutely bizarre take. Even if you’re all for the pure punitive aspect of it, why would you not want to improve society and the economics? Are you Kim Jong Un or something? I’m genuinely confused how any reasonable argument can be made here, regardless on your stance towards the prisoners themselves.

Show HN: I made a 3D visual "thesaurus" for English
Just a fun toy I wanted to make. I've been studying and playing around with language models lately and have always been intrigued by how words are processed by these models. Since the vectors generated by embedding models is in very high dimensional space, I thought it would be cool to reduce them to 3D vectors and visualise them myself. This is what I have so far!
Oh hallelujah, I've got a lifetime sub due to buying their app back in the day and was grandfathered in, so I can escape some of the marketing, but their crazy, pants-on-head UI makes guitar harder a lot of the time.

The project seems to have 0 external runtime dependencies, it should work without "bun install". That is really cool. In the code, it is using typescript, fetch API (so no need for node-fetch) and Bun.serve (so no need for express).

From my experience, a lot of users fail to get Node.js projects running - the distributions (Debian, Ubuntu) still ship ancient 10.x or 12.x versions, npm may or may not be installed, "npm install -g" will try writing to /usr by default and fail with EACCESS, etc. Bun gets the UX right - I think that author could even try "bun build --compile" to get ELF binary with bun interpreter and JS payload.

> "Here are the reasons the Russians did it. It's different, because they're evil"

No. The OP was talking about generally thinking that the Russians are evil and the US is great. Whereas the comment you're replying to gave specific malicious things that happened in the Russian case and didn't in the US case. The difference between the way people acted in the two cases is clear and doesn't require any particular political persuation to understand.

> VS Code almost daily at work for writing Go

How would you rate VS Code for Go? I use the official Go extension but am not impressed. My main gripe is that I often have to manually add a local import that should have been found and suggested when I typed the name of a variable or function exported from an adjacent package. I much prefer Goland, but use VS Code because it is the only editor my company's internal AI code assistant supports.
Religion shapes morale. Morale shapes religion. They are not equal, but they influence each other.

Moreover, human actions is heavily influenced by circumstances. With low birth rate, it's better to protect children. With high birth rate, it's OK to sacrifice some young man to free some space, like farmers do for their crops, thus we see different messages in different circumstances even in countries with same religion and morale.

Moreover, humans are good at placing arbitrary boundaries, for example Catholics are OK to kill other nations en masse because "they are not Catholics, so they have no soul, so they are not humans, they are like pigs". Some versions of Islam even encourages holy war against non-Muslims. Some other minor religions are even promoting cannibalism. Even atheists are promoting mass killings, for example communists want to kill all rich(-ier than them).

So, while Christianity promotes peace, latest 2 world wars and current greatest war since WWII, are between Christians. Guess who will use nuclear weapon for second time in the history? North Korea? Iran? China? USA? Britain? Russia? Ukraine?
