I can't believe that in approximately 12 hours, I will be a brand new Catholic.

Over a year ago, long before the thought of converting ever crossed my mind, I dreamt about a man dressed in Tudor clothes, who was speaking to me. He was very kind, carried this air of quiet joy anout him, and really wanted me to join him. He was bold about saying he “had prayed.” The dream had that ‘realness’ factor I knew was Important.

The dream baffled me until recently. (I dream so much, I keep a dream journal …

Nearly all Christian clergy definitely believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.

99% of evangelicals.

97% of Black Protestants.

92% of Catholic priests.

Huge win for Dortmund. Gladbach made them work for that win. Essentially a six-pointer between the two clubs. And, crucially, Niko Kovac’s side now just four points off fourth place. Also super encouraging to see Kovac stick with a similar team to the one that beat Dortmund. Defence much better with Anton over Can. And midfield improved dramatically without Brandt in there.

Game probably turned in Dortmund’s favour when Chukwuemeka came on. The Chelsea talent has well and truly arrived in German…

I’d have the same reaction as hallway guy. I thought everyone understood why. I myself am the intelligence. My goal is to learn and improve, always. If I can’t make the things I can think of then either I’m not a very good artist or I need a better instrument. If I pay someone else to play my instrument for me, then I stop getting better at it and they start getting better at it.

And yet you don't want to spend a few hours in two years to see what's up with AI and what others are doing when they say they use it?

Yes, I think you're getting the idea. When the spell-checker tells me I made a mistake, instead of clicking the word I make a point to go back and retype it (usually). I do this because I value knowing how to spell.

Instead of a fuzzy finder I use a file tree, because I can use it to get around very quickly and it gives me a chance to think about whether the organization of my files is still optimal. I do use a very naive autocomplete for variable names in order to help stave off carpel tunnel.

I allow myself to be guided by pain, but that means not being on painkillers.

The Zed team must be in agony over the Rust choice by now, I would think. The compile times, the intense formalism. Plus you seem to be locked out of providing the Zed user experience in-browser, and a great deal of your organization's energy is now consumed by framework, OS, and hardware support, while very little energy (compared to the amount of talent at least) now seems to reach the highest level goal of innovating on the core experience of code editing.
