I don't know what the deal is, but any time a friend or acquaintance asks me if they can talk to me for 5 minutes I immediately think, "Oh great, what did I do? How am I going to be corrected?" I start feeling like the high schooler going to the principal's office. And believe me, I know how that feels. I went to the principal's office a lot…
But in 2007, you do need to let go of the idea that all we're doing with “business programming” is building web applications that are replacing the client-server applications of the eighties and nineties that themselves replaced the green screen terminal applications of the seventies and eighties.The “leading edge” interface and ideas employed by Google, Amazon, eBay, and Yahoo! are suffusing our culture to become the standard user interface of web applications. And programming the standard user interface is a basic job requirement. Learn to love it.
One of Luther's great contributions to our view of the family involved the sanctification of the ordinary. Many sadly neglect their family and their friends because they are pouring all of their time into “ministry”—neglecting to see that all of life should be ministry and every sphere should be sanctified.
I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a swoon (faint)as to all evidences of the spiritual life. And the reason why I will not judge him so is this -- because if you judge a person dead, you neglect him, you leave him; but if you judge him in a swoon,(faint) though never so dangerous, you use all means for the retrieving of his life.
God forgive me! Whom have I passed by and left them for dead?
The numbers: 3, 7, 10, 2038, 32767, 65535, -9, 1.7, and 0. These are numbers I like to test with. There's a reason I use each of these numbers. Each number has a story of its own.
Well worth the reading.
Perhaps it's why dynlang programming starts to feel so right...it's putting trust and control back in our hands.It does "feel so right"….You might say that dyntyped languages trust the programmer to do the right thing where static typed languages force the programmer to do the right thing. That trust opens up a world of possibilities, but it also takes some responsibility out of the computer's hands—namely, responsibility for exactly that information that's needed to refactor.
Here is what you say. My summary of these words is to call them gutsy guilt. I call it that because the believer admits that he has done wrong and that God is dealing roughly with him. But even in a condition of darkness and discipline, he will not surrender his hold on the truth that God is on his side. Listen to these amazing words. Mark them. Memorize them. Use them whenever Satan tempts you to throw away your life on trifles because that’s all you’re good for.Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. I will bear the indignation of the Lord because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light; I shall look upon his vindication. (Micah 7:8-9)
This is what victory looks like the morning after failure. Meditate on it long and hard when I am gone. Learn to take your theology and speak like this to the devil or anyone else who tells you that Christ is not capable of using you mightily for his global cause. Here is what you say:…
Go read the rest, and rejoice at your salvation, and rejoice in your savior!
Real-estate listings were targeted for overuse of “boast.” As in “master bedroom boasts his-and-her fireplaces”— “never 'bathroom apologizes for cracked linoleum,' or 'kitchen laments pathetic placement of electrical outlets'?” noted contributor Morris Conklin.
