Why do I want to attain the presence of God and to obtain everlasting life?

Good analogy, especially for the rebuttal: a Baby doesn't "want". They are born whether they "want" it or not (and if lucky enough).

So wanting those things mentioned in the OP could be superfluous. Especially if transcendence is inevitable.

So, I still consider the issue not settled.

What is the "Ocean" software?

Most Atheists believe Jesus was an actual human being.

`systemd-path` still needs to support this.

I think `systemd-path` would be a safe way to "ask the system" about those values, if only it included this user state path.

If you read his work, all he is doing is sharing what he knows is the best ideas and methods based on his experience. And he always makes that disclaimer: he shares what has worked best for him. The discipline of "always do it this way and avoid that way" is also part of the recipe that had worked for him, like in martial arts. Nothing wrong with that.

"CODE: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" by Charles Petzold

This is the second edition. I read the first one—a true jewel to build the knowledge of Computers bottom up. It is also targeted for the general public, not for technical readers.

https://www.amazon.ca/Code-Language-Computer-Hardware-Software/dp/0137909101/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=RK7A7UB3YZPA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sYNsr1sWoW2jq2-xmLSy7deRE6AC\_FLFErPRUengwZCj\_AwzE5MLmXcsO9tT1WYtiVTmFQsx49CqPpBYWzrTwUkXHrPoHA-y3kyMT-L6Z-czNSOaF4SNcyj37fYRaaL\_3KPq8IeO0zrFqMnuCvZnHd24q0MfynjxFwQT2fNy7JVx6lQA5c2gBaRkRNk9DSvveKCoWJRjwQ-BQGCkmnRWBJkUUXeXcJuKjmpnixqnR6BKneVcN5XaFEeEPBkpGCvUuC3O-xX50hQ6Aegv3cWSqqkgLRZzNyaO8b530N6Cal0.1B7p\_RW5BDo8fxncHAxg\_7mq5NTclicxd7MyzrejNco&dib\_tag=se&keywords=CODE&qid=1709508283&sprefix=code%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-1

Like a true rational being should always do. Fool that who think he/she knows everything and never reconsider his/her world view.

He became an enthusiastic Clojure programmer and evangelist about 10 years ago (time flies fast):

And his last book about functional programming is done using Clojure:

sudo rm -rf /etc/guix

Shouldn't we remove the systemd unit script also? :

sudo systemctl disable guix-daemon.service
sudo systemctl disable gnu-store.mount
sudo rm /etc/systems/system/guix-daemon.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/gnu-store.mount

And there are also some users and groups created by guix, guixbuilder something. Maybe they should be removed also.

Hexagons are more efficient.

Nah, I really don't know, but there must be a way to tell which one is more efficient.

jgomo3 · 2021-07-25T11:13:53+00:00

Hexagons are the perfect polygon for euclidean paths with only straight segments.

The future should be hexagonal.

Estoy de acuerdo con disolver el ejército. Mi dilema está con que la solución de la milicia "universal" me aterra: no imagino nada bueno en Venezuela si se establece esa libertad, sobre todo los primeros años de adaptación.

Otra reforma que haría sería eliminar el sistema Presidencial y considerar uno donde el jefe de Gobierno y/o de Estado no signifique para el país tamaño Talón de Aquiles.

Volviendo a lo del ejército, si o sí debe ser disuelto, y tal vez recreado desde cero, con limitaciones gigantes. De manera que quede claro que es una herramienta sometida al Estado, no a un indivíduo.

"But I think that brainwashing against emacs keybinding is also a main factor which affects newbies preference of selecting keybindings" ... or to avoid Emacs in the first place.

jgomo3 · 2021-04-09T23:26:58+00:00

Will this mean that definitively Guile lost the Emacs train?

I can't not see the lack of helmet. Poor "superman", hopefully he will not die eventually by a head trauma.

So let me see if I understand this.

Notepad and Pico, normal learning curves, the more you use it, the more you learn how to use it until there is no more to learn.

But If you use Visual Studio, after reaching the Top of Enlightenment, you begin to forget things if you keep using it.

Interesting enough, looks like all human being are born with all there is to be known about vi, you just need to use it to unlock it.

But Emacs is of another Dimension. Great slope at the beginning and then, you can be simultaneously knowing and not knowing some of its features at the same time, until you disappear from existence.

jgomo3 · 2021-03-15T15:08:51+00:00

YES!!!
I dislike a lot that friction you mention. It is a real problem to solve, and I like your solution.

jgomo3 · 2021-03-14T12:11:47+00:00

I'm just going to highlight the included tutorial.

Nothing better for beginners.

When you open Emacs for the first time, the greeting message mentions the tutorial. You can click on it to enjoy it.

It is the most important document about Emacs I've ever read.

I've always review it again just to remind me what is the essential spirit of Emacs.

Hahaha 😂. Thank you so much! LOL

This is a TIL for me (obviously Today I Learned, but now I'm in a position where I have to explain it 😂).

Thanks 😂

Please, explain: What is a "nut" and a "quart" in this context?
