Merry Christmas to everyone. Being a non-Christian and it being Christmas time, I am sharing one verse from the New Testament that is, in my opinion, useful - or at the very least, insightful - to anyone, regardless of religion. Luke 16:10: He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.

Wonderful verse, it’s so true, thanks for sharing

ChatGPT did much better but I cannot paste it into this text box no matter how many times I try with different formatting to get the white space preserved. chatGPT also could not figure out how to format it for pasting here.

Try four leading spaces? Test, is this monospaced? 012345678901234567890123456789

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Spread the love, please - try to give everyone around you a metaphorical "▲" (upvote), in HN-speak, to make this world a better place.

  The Birth of Jesus

  [Luke 2] In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register [in tax ledgers].

Weeks ago a local newspaper had the headline: "keep the big bang until later for your children, the bible is really a great set of fairy tales" Im not religious at all, actually "implicitly fighting against it", though I have to admit: This sentence made sense and Im thinking still until today about it, because actually I think its quite true - for smaller children, the storylines in the bible are much more "real" an…

The Bible and the Big Bang theory are not mutually exclusive. The Old Testament is a very symbolic book and gives no specific details on how exactly the world was created, other than the seven days of creation. We know that the 7 days weren't referring to our current concept of a day. There's also no water above the sky. It was written like that, because it would be easier for people to understand. Science wasn't a t…

The Pontifical Academy of Sciences (PAS) is the leading authority of sciences for Roman Catholic Christians, not only do they accept big bang theory, they public scientific proceedings of astrophysics meetings: https://www.pas.va/en/publications/scripta-varia/sv155pas.ht... (free download)

HN is a pretty simple, efficient monolithic web application. Some updates might need a restart. It's OK for some web requests to fail during that time. HN isn't life critical with sixtuple nine uptime requirements.

Tbh like 99% of web apps aren’t critical - most of them are for buying something or providing infrastructure to make it easier to buy something anyway. It’s fine if your online shop is down for a few minutes (of course the business won’t see it like that but it’s true)

B&H is doing fine financially and brings their webstore down for each and every Sabbath, even if that happens to be a Black Friday.
