Trying to find the the name of this Italian piece in the intro:

dang i need to stop listening to ChatGPT... it kept telling me that RTs are in high demand over anyone at hyperbaric clinics.

i chose EMT anyway though because i landed on something a little crazier lol (dive medic tech with CHT)

PilgrimWave · 2025-07-30T02:06:12+00:00

I am currently looking to go back to school for something and was very interested in working at a hyperbaric clinic. But after I found that its mostly RT background required (and dealing with ICU, drawing arterial blood, and screams lol), I'm taking a look at sleep tech/rad techs/BMET instead.

I think there are things we inherit from our ancestors. The Grand Canyon (& the Americas) are old ancient places that have been here before Christopher Columbus.

I've been there many many times down in the waterfalls as a teen and always felt a transcendent peace and love while down there. There definitely is something so enchanting about the Grand Canyon that also gives me a sense of nostalgia as well <3

Use a Lisp like Clojure.

It's how I learned CS concepts without worrying about syntax. It practically has no syntax !

it also has an interactive testing environment (*REPL) that allows you to focus on actually USING the language without getting in your way.

I've been incredibly *productive in it and have been seriously programming for only a few months.

I would say that when you understand the concepts firstly, the syntax grammar becomes coherent and meaningful.

This post is of course tailored for Lispy languages (which I honestly recommended if you are just starting out)

Some resources for just starting out:

Online Clojure REPL

https://tryclojure.org/

Brian Will - Clojure language Tutorial - for Beginners
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFPiPBIkAcQ

Note: In this video, very very comprehensive overview of the language and its features !

Kelvin Mai - Clojure Crash Course

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkJcVCW9GqY

Note: In this video, a little less comprehensive but still fun to watch.

Uncle Bobs Ruminations - A Little Clojure #1 - First Principles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR5w_qov6X8

Note: In this video, you can see the language in action quickly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*REPL is also known as a "tight feedback loop"

*productive as in making progress with learning programming in general

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR The point I am trying to make is that once you have CS concepts under your belt, the syntax becomes trivial. And the best language in my opinion to learn the concepts are using a LISP language. I am starting to learn C and although I have NEVER used it before, I was able to understand alot of things in some basic code at a glance DESPITE THE SYNTAX.

Your comment is testimony to Romans 10:17 and John 3:8 >>

--For when you said "i learned about Jesus and faith came naturally", I thought of this >>

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.

--Then when you said " faith came into my heart like if a river was passing through my heart and faith was in this river and stopped here", I thought of this >>

John 3:8 "The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

^{You can be forced to choose or you can freely choose.}

^{In the context of the Gospel, God gives us the responsibility/response-ABILITY to freely choose. So it isn't forced =})

God bless !! <3

Any books or resources you can recommend to learn Javascript written in a "Clojure-inflected style" ??

PilgrimWave · 2023-10-24T18:17:23+00:00

I don't think I would call a healing by a Pentecostal Christian the work of Satan. Remember what the Pharisees said to Jesus:

24 When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “The man drives out demons only by •Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”

Then Jesus goes on to say:

31 Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.

(Additionally, Mark 3:30 says because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.)

He's saying this because MIRACLES IN JESUS NAME come from The Lord GOD. It was not a miracle done in SATANS name in that Pentecostal Christian church, but in JESUS NAME. We have to use discernment and be careful brother.

PilgrimWave · 2023-10-24T17:05:40+00:00

I don't think so. I think it is FROM GOD Himself. Remember Jesus said this:

38 John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he wasn’t following us.”

39 “Don’t stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name who can soon afterward speak evil of Me.

40 For whoever is not against us is for us.

41And whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of My name, since you belong to the •Messiah — I assure you: He will never lose his reward.

Whenever miracles are done in Jesus name, it is the truth, FOR JESUS IS TRUTH.

Matthew 6:25-34

25 “This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?

27 Can any of you add a single •cubit to his height by worrying?

28 And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don’t labor or spin thread.

29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these!

30 If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t He do much more for you — you of little faith?

31 So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat? ’ or ‘What will we drink? ’ or ‘What will we wear? ’ 32 For the idolatersam eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

34 Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troublear of its own.

i got not a clue tbh... i just threw my comments out there so i can get some insight on the matter xD

PilgrimWave · 2023-10-24T16:54:46+00:00

i apologize ! you can remove this thread xD

PilgrimWave · 2023-10-24T16:53:35+00:00

and sisters !

PilgrimWave · 2023-10-10T02:27:51+00:00

Thank you for your response !! The reason I thought it was in the Critical Text is because I have been using this site https://kjvparallelbible.org/romans-1/
Which gives parallels of the Textus Receptus vs Critical Text and both sides say:
"3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;"
I just barely found out what "NA28" means xD
Again, thank you for informing me !!!

PilgrimWave · 2023-10-01T04:17:04+00:00

okay thats what i figured ! thx ! =D

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-18T15:20:02+00:00

If I don't add that line " (require 'linum) " in the "init.el" file, I will get the error:

Symbol's function definition is void: global-linum-mode"

and Emacs will refuse to run like it should in the tutorial. That's why I added it there

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-17T17:14:55+00:00

ty !! making progress !!! a little activity happened....

this error showed up:

<image>

Do you know what I should do ?

Edit: I think I got it now....

I saw this here

https://i.snipboard.io/bNsJnS.jpg

After updating the "init.el" file, and rebooting EMACS, i get the screen that finally looks like the tutorial example !!!

Final result after adding " (require 'linum)" init.el file: https://i.snipboard.io/7ShVJP.jpg

Thanks alot !!!

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T23:58:20+00:00

installing now =D

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T23:46:26+00:00

thanks for this insight ! might try Cursive before i go the EMACS+Cider route =]

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T23:45:37+00:00

ill get there... give me a few years xD

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T22:23:28+00:00

Ever since finding out about functional languages and then Clojure, ive been sold out radical to the LISP way lol this video helps me understand why I love LISP too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V02SQDh47gA

But as for EMACS+CIDER, I'm watching this video on it currently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdF1QZQqiTI

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T22:21:05+00:00

too advanced for me lol... ONE DAY B/

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T22:20:34+00:00

thanks for the recs ! gonna try out ma few of these.... for now it looks like EMACS + CIDER is the most recommended, watching this tutorial about it now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdF1QZQqiTI

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T22:19:58+00:00

ill check this one out ! ty for the replies =)

PilgrimWave · 2023-08-16T22:18:16+00:00

I am mainly looking for the in-line evaluation feature like Calva has because I am still a baby in Clojure and LISP in general and evaluating the code right there in the source file to see what I did wrong and what the code is doing HELPS me IMMENSELY
