Yes, this is what I do as well. 5pm hits I shutdown the machine unless I'm just dead in the middle of something that I cannot step away from, which is extremely rare. Then I usually just go play with my kids or talk to the mrs. I found

Christian 'revolution'? What nonsense. The missionaries were never interested in revolution (not in the modern sense at least), but converting people to Catholicism. St. Bede's History of the Church in England is a good examp

Matrix. You can run your own private server and private federation. You don't have to federate with Matrix.org, you can make your own company federation, or hobby or whatever and federate with others. It's fully encrypted and has

Still holy people today. St. Hildegarde even made the prophecy that people during our time would long for their days based on the visions she had. I have read a good bit of her writings, they're utterly fascinating. St. Thomas Aquinas

No one should contact that terrorist eugenics organization. They're diabolical.

Can't say this is really a bad thing, Yelp has had blackmail and predatory business practices a long time and should be shutdown on that alone. It's amazing to me they haven't been sued into oblivion yet.

Define what you mean by "fair". It is Mozilla's (right) opinion that Facebook is a hugely corrupt corporation and entity, the technology itself doesn't just work on Fedbook, they just use Fedbook as their prime example.

I use it exclusively in my environment. Most people don't understand what exactly it does, but it's not like your traditional SAN/Host configuration. Not sure what you mean by services included, there is an exclusive simplivi

If they don't hire you because you decided to take a year off then they're not worth working for. It's easy to be in the corporate mindset when you interview someone that this person must be somehow not a "team-player&qu

According to St. Thomas Aquinas, no you cannot, because the immortal soul presupposes a participation in the infinite and eternal. Aristotle made this clear, which St. Thomas then expounds on: "Man’s ultimate happiness consists in the

Same. I have AT&T gig fiber after switching from Comcast. 3 Years in, no complaints. My 2yr old son ripped the fiber line out of the house, and they came the next day and fixed it in like an hour, no charge. Been very satisfied with AT&

God bless him. He wrote extensively and very concisely on the topic. He was struck by a car last year and killed. He left behind a wife and many children.

Imagine not being satisfied with 120 million dollars. Unreal to think about, but greed is never satisfied.

No. People just have no concept of objective morality today because everyone is hyper-sensitive to everything and can't take criticism at all.

>I think it's best to not assume my ethics are somehow more or less valid than anyone else's. That violates the law of non-contradiction. Either one is wrong and one is right, or both people are wrong and they haven't real

Indeed. I was doxxed over a religious position I hold and underwent a 3 month investigation at work for it. It was absolutely horrible and very stressful. I have a family and small children. Some psycho who just couldn't handle that so

Yeah I meant Linux/Unix. The asterisk turned everything italic so I just left it out.

100% agree. Being 35 and having worked in IT for 15 years now and seeing the rapid acceleration into DevOps/Cloud/nix/Programming/Stacks I fear for my future. I want to learn a ton of stuff, but the vast amount of stuff

Yes, I have noticed the same. I try to put my phone away when I am in public. Kids really pick up on it if you're ignoring them and they have heightened senses of emotion, so it's important for their psychological well-being to kn

A thought you could add to your article. In the medieval period in Europe, advertising outside your shop was strictly forbidden because it was considered an assault on your senses. I totally agree with this sentiment.

That's the biggest crock I've ever read on HN. Where did this "science" come from? A bunch of self-obsessed journalists I'm sure or maybe /r/childfree? The people who are unhappy with kids are the people w

I agree, there are tons of good options out there, such as ProtonMail or others. As a sysadmin, who no longer works in the MSP world, managing Exchange was such a huge time-sink. There is reason basically every MSP who is worth their salt w
