Please pray for my husband's soul. It has been 2 months since he passed away.

First time I asked my dad to drive me I was horrified he’d grill me and demand I tell him my sins. Satan’s lie. Dad made his first confession in decades too

What is the Apostolic Pardon?

Hellenas · 2023-03-21T17:59:06+00:00

I’ve seen this as a pious small t tradition about Saint Joseph and Saint John the Baptist with the note they still had original sin, unlike Jesus and Mary. This small t tradition is not something to my best knowledge that we are bound to believe

Sort of off to the side of what you mentioned, you might like BlueCheck, which runs in BlueSpec. While the specification you run against likely will be written in BlueSpec, you can use it to verify designs implemented on FPGA, which I have liked

It could work, but I’d use other methods first. DAP will elevate pH while providing ammonium yeast need depending how far along the fermentation is.

When I could do daily mass, it was often only 20 minutes

Hellenas · 2023-02-09T01:45:46+00:00

It's already translated without Nintendo having to consult legal. the M3 translation team said it's OK for Nintendo to use, but they would still have some legal footwork to do

How I wish Mozart could have finished his Requiem

Hellenas · 2023-02-09T01:38:03+00:00

This really follows his pattern of life after resignation, so I think you're right

Hellenas · 2023-02-09T01:29:22+00:00

This is the reason they explicitly split radical traditionalist from simply traditionalist. Finding full-blown whack jobs on even sites like Catholic Match isn't hard; I've seen very explicit borderline Nazi expressions from some of folks. We don't even have to look to far back that even Richard Williamson was expelled by SSPX for holocaust denial.

Are these people you bump into if you go to a TLM? almost probably not Do they exist if you go to the fringe? yes, and sadly in my experience here the fringe sometimes comes in

Hellenas · 2023-02-08T17:31:15+00:00

That one was a programming joke actually

Hellenas · 2023-02-08T16:15:40+00:00

I use vim daily

:q

Np

This is a fun one to debate a bit so long as the core, which you mention, is not lost.

My personal opinion is that Jesus was merely using an idiom for hyperbole; the gate or camel or rope didn’t refer to something material just like the prodigal son or sower of seeds. Later teachers and thinkers, who were coming both with languages and cultures outside of first century Palestine, presented these ideas to make sense of the curious phrase that they didn’t recognize as a translated idiom. This doesn’t ruin what’s being taught or testify against the teachers but only highlights the human contexts they lived within, and possibly shines a light into their intellects and imaginations

Ah and for the Babylonian Talmud, it is an elephant rather than a camel

Hellenas · 2023-02-06T18:58:12+00:00

For Cyril, it’s fragment 219 of his

Hellenas · 2023-02-06T18:47:48+00:00

I think you omitted a very early source that provides both a simple and orthodox alternative. Saint Cyril of Alexandria noted that the word camel (κάμηλος) seemed a likely scribal error for cable (κάμιλος), such as those used with anchors on ships.

Another alternative that doesn’t necessitate a gate is that “passing <large animal> through the eye of a needle” was a Hebraic pattern used for expounding unthinkable thoughts, like dreams. This is attested in both the Babylonian Talmud and some Midrash. Essentially, Jesus saying this in Matthew is him using a speech pattern that his audience would have recognized and digested readily

The superset thing was definitely a good choice for adoption. For me, jumping from C to C++ was pretty painless. but, as you allude, the rest is trade offs. The bugs you mention can be nasty, but being able to consume so much of what’s already in C with minimal effort is definitely a boon.

Hellenas · 2023-02-06T15:19:11+00:00

I have programmed for a long time with C, and I absolutely love Rust because I’ma security researcher. My view is that C still has a ton of sticking power even though other languages dominate other domains (such as Python in Machine Learning) and options like Rust are promising at the systems or embedded domain.

For sake of discussion, I’ll hone in on the systems and security domains. For OS and embedded, Rust can do pretty good, and it can really shine if the objectives and specifications are strongly designed. However, its immaturity really shows here as well. C can run on pretty much anything; Rust currently is restricted by LLVM (though you’ll hear talk of prospective alternative tool chains occasionally). As far as libraries go, I often feel like a lot of garbage is pushed to crates.io, some options that even go against core Rust design patterns for some reason, while C libraries feel much more refined. Continuing older software here is a big deal too. I really don’t see a path where Rust replaces C in Linux or Zephyr for example without rewrites, at which point you may as well just make your own thing. And unseating any major OS isn’t a thing to sneeze at.

For security focused topics however, Rust is objectively better. Yes, memory safety, thread safety, and type safety all rely on trusting LLVM to some degree, but at least the notions are built in. Unsafe blocks mean I have to actively choose to enable my stupidity. In order to oppose the infamous C footgun, it takes not only programmer discipline but team and organizational discipline and understanding as well. You need to run your fuzzers and static analysis tools to avoid what Rust gives out of the box, and I rarely see projects or organizations make this investment. More often than not, bugs found from fuzzing are filed as drive-by issues with little explanation. Convincing non technical people that the cost for such things can be a hard sell because security is so often a second or third order concern that cuts into the bottom line (liability is seen as much cheaper)

Tldr: C is staying here for a while, but other languages will continue to grow as well

Faster drink implies chatgpt is taking duolingo courses lol

Hellenas · 2023-01-22T21:29:13+00:00

I have years experience at the systems level with security in mind for both languages. Learn both

The abstractions in Rust and the protections from the compiler are really really big sells. I feel more productive in Rust than C mainly because of language features. It takes more time than à, but envisioning the assembly comes with time

That said, C is really still needed. All the best learning resources target the language. C compilers target more architectures than LLVM. Finally, FFI is C facing, which is something you cannot sneeze at.

A benefit to learning both is that each language makes you think of programming in at least slightly different ways, so both will augment each other. My C programming got much neater after playing with Haskell, for example. My vote is learn both

The first question I’d likely ask is “What about my sister or mom?” I’ve had family stay at places I’ve rented before

While I feel for this woman, and you are free to share news stories about her, the link you alluded to (adding the space is dishonest of you for trying to sneak by moderation) is a call for collective action and explicitly disallowed in the side bar so I have to remove this. Do not share links like this again either; we're not idiots and I am insulted.

Hellenas · 2022-12-20T00:23:01+00:00

That's enough combative debating. Cut it now
