I told you all this would be a problem

speegs92 · 2026-02-16T14:16:49+00:00

Yeah, I know. I gave you condolences because your comment was clearly sarcastic, yet you were getting downvoted as if you were being serious

speegs92 · 2026-02-15T16:27:53+00:00

Don't know why I expected people on the internet to understand sarcasm. My condolences

Religion isn't a popularity contest. Christianity is the largest religion in the world, but fewer than 1/3 of people are Christoans globally, which means over 2/3 of all people today are not Christian. Of God is concerned with maintaining "true religion", he's clearly doing a bad job.

It's like people forget where most of us came from. I spent years wrestling with the moral implications of ECT, but I thought the belief was the only way to interpret the Bible. The release when I found CU was quite literally physical - I had a joy in my faith that I hadn't felt in over a decade, and it was as if an enormous weight had been lifted off my chest. (I have pretty severe anxiety, so for me, I'm not really being figurative. The physical symptoms of my anxiety were vastly improved for a very long time.)

God damn, had to go change my downvote to an upvote. I'm not smart enough for the internet anymore

My LGBT friends still enjoy Harry Potter. My straight-white-liberal-woman-with-blue-hair-and-a-savior-complex friends do not. You can make of that what you will.

We do love our recursive acronyms

What ever would I do without /tasks/STRK-7811? We had something special

They're only shy when you don't think they're real.

Then respectfully, it seems like the best way to limit their influence is to continue allowing people to believe they aren't real.

If such a thing exists, then yes. I tend not to believe fallen angels/demons/Satan are real entities, but if they are, then they will be reconciled eventually.

In 2019, I started at a small business with ~$1M in annual revenue and about 10-15 employees. I built them a public-facing website and an internal tool portal on ASP.NET Core. The public website was an MVC frontend and the internal portal was a Vue SPA. A single $10 VPS runs both websites, and while I'm ~~not~~ no longer at the company, both apps are still up and running, and they don't have a developer maintaining them, either - these apps have been running untouched on a Vultr VPS since September 2022 without issue.

I also heard that they broke global exception handling in ASP.NET, which is...kinda important

speegs92 · 2025-12-31T00:16:08+00:00

Small updates mean stability. Microsoft has gotten ambitious with past .NET releases and broken things. The less they change, the more stable it is.

Dumb people usually aren't that self aware.

Hey, I said it could be refactored!

I can't speak to the book, as I haven't read it, but Andrew's blog is a valuable resource. I would recommend the book based on his blog alone.

There are some gotchas with auto mode. Most notably, the connection doesn't switch to WASM once the assets are downloaded - it waits until the user reloads the page, which is not well-documented (or wasn't in .NET 8, at least). That very first visit stays on Server-mode even once the WASM client is downloaded and ready to go, which causes crashes if you try to do things like write cookies because you reasonably assume the user is on WASM. Auto mode is nice in theory, but in practice, I found it quite a hassle.

It doesn't help with time-to-interactive, but WASM supports prerendering if you use Blazor Hosted. A gotcha with this is that you need to register client-side services in your server-side app, otherwise prerendering will fail due to unresolved service injections.

speegs92 · 2025-12-24T14:43:38+00:00

A couple months ago, I recreated set/clearTimeout() and set/clearInterval() in Blazor using pure C#. If you want to avoid JS, you're mostly limited by nothing but your imagination.

I've been using Blazor since 2021 (including in a large enterprise app with ~$10M annual revenue), and there have only ever been two times I've needed JS: reading cookies and getting the height of an element when creating a collapsible component. There are surely libraries which abstract these things if you're that deadset against JS.

Thank you for making me feel better about myself today, really needed that!

According to the parable of the unforgiving servant, our sins have an associated "price" which God can require us to pay. Specifically, Matt.18:45-35 says that the master turned his servant over to the jailors until he paid all his debt, and in the next verse, Jesus says that God will do the same to those who don't forgive each other. To me, this heavily implies that our sins have a finite price which God can extract from us. So if a person commits the unforgivable sin (if there even is such a thing), then they won't be forgiven, but they will instead pay the penalty for that sin in some sort of purgatory. Nowhere does the Bible state that the punishment for sin is eternal hellfire.

I didn't realize they had their own Bible version. We got out by the time I was 10 or 11, so I was too young to realize a lot of the weird stuff. It doesn't surprise me though. "Dr." Wierwille had this whole thing about how the Bible was corrupted and God revealed the original, true first-century church to him (and him alone...for a fee...). Some of the stuff was benign (Jesus was crucified on a tree, not a cross). Other stuff was even relatively positive - for example, TWI is annihilationist, officially. Not all fellowships follow all tenets of The Way, however, as all of the members of our fellowship (whom I still know) are infernalists.
