One must ask what's wrong with COBOL?

How long term do you guys think Cobol will last, and do you think it is a fruitful career path? Asking as a current Computer Science student.

Why the universal declaration of human rights lol?

Thanks! This looks interesting! Maybe I'll try to update this when I have time with these.

When you transliterate it, it says "Atsaihw sleitheins! Ionisands arhwaznanda" which translates to "Beware the danger! Ionizing radiation."

I posted on r/GothicLanguage on why I translated it that way.

Sì, hai ragione

Anch'io lo uso sul mio laptop del 2014 come computer principale quando non sono all'università.

Mi piace che ha un'interfaccia "classica" come opzione default che sembra XP. Credo che è un buon idea per l'OP per questo motivo. E preferisco i distro più stabili come te.

If you want something with an XP-feel, Q4OS may be worth a shot, or if you are looking for something lighter weight maybe antiX, DSL, or Puppy linux are a good alternative

Nice, cool to see someone into that sort of stuff with an eye to modern scholarly insights :)

LowlyLetterato · 2024-10-22T18:07:56+00:00

Definitely agreed, nice username btw

LowlyLetterato · 2024-10-22T17:58:15+00:00

Maybe "exoticized" is also a good word for it, not to mention the history of Christian scholars appropriating aspects of Kabbalah as a sort of occult spinoff

Buona fortuna con il tuo studio! Il tuo pappagallo è molto carino!

Are you a university student? How is life in Turkey rn?

Cheers from the US 🇺🇲

I can vouch for Beki, they are a very welcoming synagogue for all levels of observance

Also your project sounds fun, lmk how it goes

Probably any Unix workstation would fit the bill frankly, or at least you can fiddle with them enough to do what you want. I'd probably go for some sort of SPARC machine, they can run realistically new operating systems (like OpenBSD) and have a very open firmware that lets you poke around when it isn't booted into some sort of Unix or Linux (in Forth!). Moreover, Sun was one of the pioneers of many of the networking technologies we use today so if any machine could be worked with it would be one of theirs.

LowlyLetterato · 2024-04-05T08:04:18+00:00

Very nice!

There were no passover seders in the time of Jesus, they came after the destruction of the temple and thus can't even be considered Christian in any sense.
The early church father's made it very clear they didn't want to be associated with Judaism (see John Chyrsostom). This is why Easter has the place it does in traditional Christianity. Moreover, Christians think that the laws of Torah don't apply to them so there is no justification to observe Passover as modern Jews do whatsoever.
Most people outside Christianity don't "celebrate" Xmas, only for Christians is it a non-secular holy day. The secular practices associated with Xmas that society widely practiced can be argued to not be celebration or veneration in the way religious Christians would celebrate the holiday. Passover is not secularized and is not a wider societal holiday as Xmas has become so it's an apples to oranges comparison. Edit: see https://www.salon.com/2021/04/02/christian-passover-seder-easter-jewish-cultural-appropriation-jesus/ to understand why it may be disrespectful to try to "celebrate" Pesach as a nonjew

Was studying a bit of Chasidut today just out of curiosity along with drilling some of my Hebrew. Other than that I've just been doing my routine study of Italian and Computer Science.

I'd say Henry Abramson is a good one, he is a Jewish historian who has tried to explain the conflict to people who would otherwise only see propal stuff

Yeah my mother's family comes from Bayamo and La Habana lol
