The other reply offered a perfectly good set of corrections but I want to add my own clarifications. One point I wanted to make in my original comment was that monotheism vs polytheism is not a helpful object category when talking about 200

If second-temple era Jews are “pagan” then the term “pagan” has been expanded such as to denude it of all meaning, even if we assume this evolutionary view of Jewish religion, which is actually a very questionable view. There are plenty of

It is not true that Christian practices are mostly pagan in origin. You do not need to look far to find the origin of the vast majority of what you would have seen in a medieval church service. You can see the common origin if you compare a

Can you elaborate? It’s “implicitly implied” by your code? How is that “exposing it fully” except in the sense that speculative execution is “implicitly implied” in all code targeting the relevant hardware?

Hypothesis: This passage lists a lot of names repeatedly, and Jacob is in the genealogy of Jesus. Genealogies also list a lot of names. So perhaps somehow it’s jumping from Jesus to Jacob?

I’m not saying it’s not unfortunate that things get lost just that we shouldn’t act like this was some kind of act of ignorant vandalism.

This is not a very historically informed comment. This didn’t take place during the “dark ages,” for one, but in a Christian monastery in Islamic Sinai if the timing of the article is correct. It’s a shame that some of these discoveries wer

A chatbot can’t be empathetic. They don’t feel what you feel. They don’t feel anything. They’re not any more empathetic than my imaginary friend that goes to another school.

I use Fossil extensively for all my personal projects and find it superior for the general case. As others said it’s more suited for small projects. I also use Fossil for lots of weird things. I created a forum game using Fossil’s ticket an

Are Python apps really so easy to understand? I seriously disagree with this idea given how much magic goes behind nearly every line of Python. Especially if you veer off the happy path. I certainly am no fan of C but from a certain point o

St. Augustine on “seeing” God: “Do not imagine God according to the lust of your eyes. If you do, you will create for yourself a huge form or an incalculable magnitude which (like the light which you see with your bodily eyes) extends in ev

As the other reply said neither the classical Jewish or Christian view is that God is some guy literally up in the heavens sitting around all day.

Some seem to intuit that divine freedom is in competition with creaturely freedom. The assumption is that when God is acting, that necessarily drives out the action and initiative of creatures, and vice versa. The ancient Christian concepti

It’s bad for society for the desktop OS market to be a proprietary monopoly. It basically allows Microsoft to extract rent from the public defender. I do understand the evangelism being obnoxious. I don’t advocate for people to switch if th

Can it vanish behind proprietary licensing? Pretty sure most of Valve’s stuff is under GPL so they can’t exactly evaporate that away.

You need unbounded recursion. Conditionals alone can’t do that. If you have some kind of conditional go to/jump if expression that’s a different matter.

Xquery is what I would call a “weirdly good” language. It’s weird how good it is and how well designed it is relative to how little adoption it has. The key thing is that since XML is a first-class datatype in XPath, trees are therefore a

I’m not the same guy you were arguing with, but it’s much stranger to have such a weird and focused hatred for a text editor than it is to be a fan of a text editor.
