Sierra Pacific, for instance, has a window company.

I'm building an addition to my house and I use AI to visualize parts of it, which helps me plan efficiently, and I use it to answer questions about skills that I only have a little…

Exactly. Using them to actually “generate content” is a sure fire way to turn your brain into garbage, along with whatever you “produce” - but they do seem to have fulfilled Google…

Most all words have more than one sound. There are big sounds and small sounds though. The big parts - "word sounds" — that we don't want, the word "sounds" has just one. It needs …

We can experimentally verify spirits by communicating with them. Many such cases. Now, do you mean measure them using our physical devices that we currently have? No, we can't do t…

Then we disagree about the basic assumption. I do think that people throughout history have attributed many different things to the influence of spiritual entities. I’m just saying…

The "people in times before the enlightenment just attributed everything to spirits because they didn't understand things" argument is tired and boring. Just because you're not con…

There are larger minds than ours, and they've been well-attested for millennia as celestial entities, i.e. spirits. Approaching it purely within the realm of the kinds of minds tha…

I'm conflicted about this. I want to dislike it, but frankly I don't appreciate the actual musicianship in music the majority of the time. If I'm listening to something that has br…

This is the concept of Theosis, still very active in the Orthodox Church. Salvation is not just having your problems ignored — it's actually becoming "gods by grace"

I worked in exclusively WordPress for many years. "Flexibility" doesn't mean jack if it doesn't adhere to modern development practices itself. "Many options," yes but the core is j…

That's a fair argument. Maybe I'm just biased because I started with Drupal 8.

I don't understand how (if?) WordPress has popularity among serious professionals. Extending it without plugins, many of which are paid, is a nightmare. Adding custom fields is lab…

Must be "had" — I've used it since D8 first came out and while there's weirdness, it's never been anything beyond what WordPress threw at me. In terms of setup, it's just like — en…

Drupal should be the obvious choice here. Still PHP-based, still fieldable entities, and a much saner data structure with infinite extensibility. It gets weird hate on HN so I expe…

It's hard to upgrade from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8, but it's really not hard to deploy anew. The "Drupal CMS" initiative is trying hard to lower the already low barrier to entry.

I don't understand the "Drupal is hard" mentality on HN. Drupal is just as simple as WordPress to deploy. Unzip, plug in database credentials and go. It's better with composer, but…

It borrows some of its marketing directly from Urbit, which HN famously has a bias against.

Restraint is not part of the free-market calculus. Sure, people like to tout "sustainability" but only as a means of selling yet more products. It's not profitable to fast. Well, i…

I've also used VexFlow to good effect producing web-friendly music notation. Given I've had to invent my own syntax for producing pieces with any rapidity, but it seems less compli…

It's our camping coffee maker, and it's perfect for that. Tried to use it otherwise and you're right, there are much better devices these days.
