    Disappointed to see how many of the comments here are fairly negative. Especially for a site that so values true open source. While this isn't the ereader for me (I need a larger s…

    Also, from your comment > "marry and enjoy sex" is what Paul is trying to say This is your interpretation and shows your own bias. I read it as "you must have consent from your par…

    I do notice the symmetry. It is saying that each of them can use the others body as they like, without regard for the other. But that's fine, because they can do it right back. A p…

    Searched for "sexual exploration". One of the results i got returned was from corinthians and read: The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewis…

    Have not read this series (yet), but Watt's Blindsight is an absolute masterclass in literary sci-fi

    In my experience, business people are chomping at the bit to build and manage the ops for their apps, but it's always an "IT Operating Model" that is thrown back at them

    Let's say that you want to know who your largest customer is, both by order value and volume. I could either: 1. Prompt my agent and deal with writing the prompt, waiting for the a…

    I enjoyed reading this but felt like it missed a few of the points on why a lot of companies are indexing heavily on the context layer. 1. While AI is capable of driving massive va…

    The mistake here is having an architect who is not shipping product. Architects who's job it is to define 'rules' and 'patterns' without actually impending anything are almost alwa…

    I love R and am always excited about tools for R but I immediately get suspicious when I see things like: > RMCP has been tested with real-world scenarios achieving 100% success ra…

    I strongly think that R has outgrown just having statistics as its killer feature. The killer feature of R is data analysis I have yet to see any software that rivals dplyr, data.t…
