Full stack web developer currently working mostly with #PHP / #Laravel, Vanilla #Javascript and #SCSS. Love learning more about (almost) anything, but particularly #MySQL and #InfoSec. Currently learning Arabic. Husband, father of two boys, Christian.
The #Anglican tradition has a daily reading lectionary where you read 4 or so chapters each day and go through the NT 2-3 times in a year, and the OT once (depends on which lectionary you use.)
I've been doing this awhile, and had the habit down, but health made me focus on essentials for a time and I got behind for about a month.
In my catch-up phase, I decided to just treat the epistles as single-sitting readings.
And you know, I'll probably do this more often. There's value in chapter breaks, but honestly: if it's a two-page letter, it shouldn't take five days to read it (I'm looking at you 1 Peter.)
Anyway. Just stating the obvious: the #Bible is full of short stories and letters and small, concrete narratives. You should read them that way. That's how they were meant to be read!
@lentenmass It's amazing when you think that even letters like Corinthians where really just that: one letter that was likely read in one go by the receiving Church.
Yet, in our Church we are just about half way through a series on 1 Corinthians that I don't even remember when we started anymore 😆
(not suggesting there isn't also immense value in detailed study and sermons - but you do get a different perspective when you read large chunks in one go)
Pretty cool stuff. Though I'm also wondering if leaving the connection open and reusing it repeatedly might have downsides too, especially if I have need to connect to many different hosts?
@nicoverbruggen I made the switch from QWERTZ to QWERTY many years ago.
My phone keyboard actually has three layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, and Arabic). Annoyingly it’s simple to switch accidentally, and you can easily not notice, as QWERTY and QWERTZ are very similar, until you randomly start mixing up your X’s and Y’s, or just use the ‘wrong’ quotation mark 🙄😂
I just had an impressively pleasant customer service experience with @fastmail. Turns out it wasn't even their issue, but they responded quickly and in exactly the level of detail I needed.
It's so sad that it's so uncommon that it's worth tooting about...
@Crell been with @fastmail for a number of years myself now.
Must admit my support experience with them is decidedly mixed. I’ve only had reason to contact their support twice. The first time they took forever to respond, and the response was completely useless. The second time was much better.
At least they do have support though, and to be fair their product itself is great and very good value for money, imo!
You request a review from a fellow contributor on a pull request. The reviewer doesn't review it in time for the PR to be merged. Approval is not required in your workflow, and the branched passed QA checks so you merge it. Days or weeks later, the reviewer marks the PR as 'Accepted'. You feel:
I really do like #Tailscale But I’m concerned that one day - once I’ve fully bought into their ecosystem- the fee plan will come to an end and I’ll have to learn how to deploy a vpn myself 🙈
One of my earlier PRs was to the docs, to add a short description for a method that was overlooked in Laravel v3 or v4. I spent ages trying to make sure it was perfect. Then waited anxiously for it to be approved or commented on. Instead, Taylor deleted it and then had some one else do the issue. I’ve not bothered trying to help Laravel since. 😒 Love Laravel, but that put me off in a big way. I now spend my time doing PRs for those that appreciate them instead.
@outofcontrol yep. Made a similar experience. I filed a bug fix PR which was rejected within seconds. Had to refile it because I really needed the bug fixed.
Iirc the PR was originally rejected due to a failing test. Arguably somewhat justified, but they could’ve given me 5 min to fix the PR rather than reject it outright…
