For me, the JS/LINQ style is much more readable than a bunch of for loops.

When implemented properly, it’s a convenient system. I enjoyed using it at the Stockholm airport a few months ago.

I still think you’d get under an investigation (at least from the tax authorities, but I can imagine police too) after years of years consistently depositing millions of wins in your bank account.

Aren’t you supposed to show proofs of winning 160m when depositing into a bank? Even for just a few millions?

The EU digital covid certificate works quite nicely and I used it at multiple countries. This might be a bigger challange but still.

It solves on problem for me. Since the introduction of Apple Pay I hate taking my wallet anywhere and 95% of the time I don’t. But my ID and driver’s license is in there and it’s needed sometimes. This gets me closer to the goal.

Let’s say, travelling to a different country without a wallet would be amazing to me.

Hm, I haven’t even noticed the notch in the past 7 months on mine.

How does your interview process look like?

The most insane is that it even autocompletes comments. It’s honestly scary sometimes.

Isn’t GitLabs whole premise is the CI/CD?

How do you replace Postman? I feel like it's pretty easy to test text encoding formats that are human readable, but not sure how I'd do that with gRPC.

I asked this from a Christian friend of mine. He said that the "uninitiated", like indigenous people will be judged by their conscience.

I told him that people in Iraq are 99% muslims and they definitely know about the existence of Christianity so they aren't really uninitiated. If I remember correctly, he said that if a culture poisons your mind to not believe in the Christian God, then you're still considered "uninitiated".

I don't know if you saw it, but Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray had a debate about this topic a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aALsFhZKg-Q

TLDW: we don't know if Peterson is religious or not but he thinks that Christianity must stay. Harris (obviously) is an atheist and thinks religions must go. Now, Douglas is interesting. He's an atheist but thinks that Christianity must stay because much-much worse ideologies would take its place. Peterson and Douglas like to prove their point by pointing to existing ideologies that are already very dangerous.

Personally, I don't have any argument to offer. Since seeing this debate, I thought about this topic a lot but I still didn't come to a conclusion.

I asked about slavery in Reddit's DebateAChristian forum. Most Christians say that those part of the Bible needs to be understood in the context of those times where debt slavery was quite common and not considered evil. So we can't apply today's morality there. Well, at least these were the most common answers I got. There were also a person who told me that what "moral"/"good" means is _completely_ subjective (which is true to some extent), so I should not judge Exodus 21.

I resonate with your comment very much. I always felt like some religions could be less poisonous if they were willing to change, or at least somewhat follow the actual morality of certain eras. For instance, in 2021 most people already realized that being gay is not evil. Most religious people I know tend to think otherwise.

I start to think that I’m really lucky in central Europe. All those things (daycare, doctor, dentist) are free here. Even university is free.

Which is still different than running plain Docker on EC2 machines.

Do we have a proof of that? Sounds _very_ illegal.

For me, I hit Command+Shift+P in VS Code, choose Open pull request, then hit Enter. As easy as it gets.

Same here. Used the Stylus dark mode for a year and I like the official one much better.
