'The Christian worldview' is actually evidence-based, it's not based on childish stories of "ghosts" and "angels". Please, read the book first before judging by the cover.

Full quote is this: "The questions posed by AI are open to all of us. And they demand answers. A book that is written to challenge all readers, no matter your worldview, 2084 shows how the Christian worldview, properly understood, can provide evidence–based, credible answers that will bring you real hope for the future of humanity."

Does 'the Christian worldview' invalidate any conclusions the authors may present?

Not exactly the same, but not a new idea either: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenix-summer-1994-technic...
Newag is also after the Chairwoman of the Parliamentary Team for Combating Transport Exclusion, MP Paulina Matysiak and filed for revoking her immunity. She's been looking into the matter since the news broke last year.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It reminded me of another one I'd read a while back by Andrew Latham: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-i-learned-from-my-bigges...

This article reminded me about current changes related to EU's Unified Patent Court (UPC), discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33630823.

An article at the UPC website [1] seems to trivialize the conflict of interests raised by the community: https://www.juve-patent.com/news-and-stories/people-and-busi...

Although I have not seen the source code, I was mind blown when first heard of and saw the demo of the Sketchpad, a program created by Ivan Sutherland in 1963.

I second that. Smalltalk-80 classes source code is an excellent reference to learning pure OOP style. https://github.com/dbanay/Smalltalk/blob/master/files/Smallt...
