Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on Matthew 5:42, Luke 6:37, and Matthew 22:21, exploring how we are called to handle the money God has entrusted to us. He discusses Jesus' invitation to live with open-handed generosity, to give freely, and to steward resources in a way that honors God while blessing others. This episode also highlights the promise that a generous life brings spiritual reward, as we learn to trust God as our ultimate provider.
This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. These are the commands mentioned in the You may need to use "sudo" to run these commands depending on how your system is configured. strace uptime strace ls 2>&1 | grep open strace -e openat ls / strace ls /does/not/exist strace -o ls-trace.log ls strace -ff -o pid12345-trace.log -p 12345 HISTORY The original strace was written by Paul Kranenburg for SunOS and was inspired by its trace utility. The SunOS version of strace was ported to Linux and enhanced by Branko Lankester, who also wrote the Linux kernel support. Even though Paul released strace 2.5 in 1992, Branko's work was based on Paul's strace 1.5 release from 1991. In 1993, Rick Sladkey took on the project. He merged strace 2.5 for SunOS with the second release of strace for Linux, added many features from SVR4's truss(1), and produced a ver‐ sion of strace that worked on both platforms. In 1994 Rick ported strace to SVR4 and Solaris and wrote the automatic configuration support. In 1995 he ported strace to Irix (and became tired of writing about himself in the third person). Beginning with 1996, strace was maintained by Wichert Akkerman. During his tenure, strace development migrated to CVS; ports to FreeBSD and many architectures on Linux (including ARM, IA-64, MIPS, PA-RISC, PowerPC, s390, SPARC) were introduced. In 2002, responsibility for strace maintenance was transferred to Roland McGrath. Since then, strace gained support for several new Linux architectures (AMD64, s390x, SuperH), bi- architecture support for some of them, and received numerous additions and improvements in system calls decoders on Linux; strace development migrated to Git during that period. Since 2009, strace has been actively maintained by Dmitry Levin. During this period, strace has gained support for the AArch64, ARC, AVR32, Blackfin, C-SKY, LoongArch, Meta, Nios II, OpenRISC 1000, RISC-V, Tile/TileGx, and Xtensa architectures. In 2012, unmaintained and apparently broken support for non-Linux operating systems was removed. Also, in 2012 strace gained support for path tracing and file descriptor path decoding. In 2014, support for stack trace printing was added. In 2016, system call tampering was implemented. For the additional information, please refer to the NEWS file and strace repository commit log.

Michael #1: Command Book App New app from Michael Command Book App is a native macOS app for developers, data scientists, AI enthusiasts and more. This is a tool I've been using lately to help build Talk Python, Python Bytes, Talk Python Training, and many more applications. It's a bit like advanced terminal commands or complex shell aliases, but hosted outside of your terminal. This leaves the terminal there for interactive commands, exploration, short actions. Command Book manages commands like "tail this log while I'm developing the app", "Run the dev web server with true auto-reload", and even "Run MongoDB in Docker with exactly the settings I need" I'd love it if you gave it a look, shared it with your team, and send me feedback.

Build with Swift and Swift UI Check it out at https://commandbookapp.com Brian #2: uvx.sh: Install Python tools without uv or Python Tim Hopper Michael #3: Ending 15 years of subprocess polling by Giampaolo Rodola The standard library's subprocess module has relied on a busy-loop polling approach since the timeout parameter was added to Popen.wait() in Python 3.3, around 15 years ago The problem with busy-polling CPU wake-ups: even with exponential backoff (starting at 0.1ms, capping at 40ms), the system constantly wakes up to check process status, wasting CPU cycles and draining batteries. Latency: there's always a gap between when a process actually terminates and when you detect it. Scalability: monitoring many processes simultaneously magnifies all of the above. + L1/L2 CPU cache invalidations It's interesting to note that waiting via poll() (or kqueue()) puts the process into the exact same sleeping state as a plain time.sleep() call. From the kernel's perspective, both are interruptible sleeps. Here is the merged PR for this change. Brian #4: monty: A minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for use by AI Samuel Colvin and others at Pydantic Still experimental “Monty avoids the cost, latency, complexity and general faff of using a full container based sandbox for running LLM generated code. “ “Instead, it lets you safely run Python code written by an LLM embedded in your agent, with startup times measured in single digit microseconds not hundreds of milliseconds.” Extras Brian: Expertise is the art of ignoring - Kevin Renskers You don't need to master the language.

Join us as Pastor Craig takes us through the Absolutes of Scripture and obeying Jesus' commands.
Are we willing to let our light shine wherever God places us? In Amy Carmichael's life, we see the radiant fulfillment of Christ's command: “Let your light so shine before men…” (Matthew 5:16). From the streets of Belfast to the orphanages of India, she lived with an eternal focus, burning with a holy love that served, rescued, and sacrificed. Whether walking in open fields or confined to a sickbed, she never ceased to shine, trusting God to use every trial for His glory. May we, too, be faithful to shine for Christ to the very end.
We may have many questions we want to ask God, but this series is all about the questions that Jesus asks us. Join our study of Matthew and consider his questions with us.
The Second Commandment (Exod. 20:4–6) reminds us that faithful worship is not only about who we worship, but how we worship. God forbids images because He will not be reduced, controlled, or misrepresented; instead, He reveals Himself by His Word and calls us to respond in faith and obedience. True worship reflects who God truly is—not our preferences—and honors the covenant relationship established by His redeeming grace. Because worship shapes lives and leaves a generational legacy, how we worship today matters deeply.

The Commands of ChristTam Hutchinson
How can we rejoice when suffering for Christ? Richard Wurmbrand's life answers that question with powerful clarity. Tortured and imprisoned for his faith under Communist rule, he chose to obey Christ's command: “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad” (Matthew 5:12). His example calls us to turn toward Jesus in our trials, not away. Like Wurmbrand, may we find strength to rejoice not just in ease, but in the presence of the living Savior who gives joy amid tribulation.
Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike unpacks Jesus' call in Matthew 5–7 to be perfect, truly righteous, and to live as the light of the world in the Sermon on the Mount. He explores how Jesus alone fulfills these demands, yet through Christ they are made true of us before God. At the same time, the episode looks at how the Holy Spirit is actively at work, shaping these realities in us as we learn to live out what is already true in Him.
Lil AI productivity secret: we've become the duct tape for AI.
How can God use a weak and broken life for His glory? What does it mean to truly follow Christ? In this episode, we reflect on the life of David Brainerd, a frail and often melancholy man who wholeheartedly obeyed Jesus' call: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). Despite sickness, loss, and rejection, Brainerd chose hardship over ease, taking the gospel to unreached Native American tribes. Through deep prayer and dependence on Christ, he witnessed powerful revival and lasting fruit. His legacy, preserved in his journals, has inspired generations. Like Brainerd, may we follow Christ with our whole hearts and pray to be used beyond what we are.
Most people talk to themselves the same way they talk to their friends, soft, loose, and open to negotiation. That kind of self-talk feels nice, but it does not produce execution. I explain why you can't suggest actions to yourself if you want real results. High performers give themselves commands, not options. The way you speak to yourself decides if action is optional or required, and that difference changes everything. Show Notes: [02:43]#1 Suggestions invite negotiation while command ends. [08:24]#2 Commands clarify identity. [15:12]#3 External authority is unnecessary when your internal authority is strong. [17:46] Recap Next Steps: --- Power Presence is not taught. It is enforced. If you are operating in environments where hesitation costs money, authority, or leverage, the Power Presence Mastermind exists as a controlled setting for discipline, execution, and consequence-based decision-making.

This episode introduces the idea of a “deceived dopamine”—the way human desire, motivation, and pursuit have been chemically and spiritually misdirected. The conversation reframes dopamine not as a mistake or flaw in human design, but as a God-given mechanism that has been hijacked by culture, entertainment, trauma, and counterfeit rewards. From social media and pornography to food, money, and success, dopamine spikes are shown to be the hidden driver behind distraction, addiction, detours, and delayed purpose.Jesus' teachings are presented as a reset and detox—a “red rehab” that recalibrates desire back to its original intention. Commands that often sound extreme or restrictive are reinterpreted as emergency interventions meant to interrupt deeply embedded deception. Through prayer, fasting, and renewing the mind, the episode points toward a restoration where dopamine is no longer driven by artificial highs but redirected toward the will of God. The result is not deprivation, but clarity, freedom, and what the episode calls “divine dopamine”—joy and motivation sourced from alignment rather than addiction. This is a public episode.

What does daily repentance look like for the believer? From slave trader to pastor and hymn writer, John Newton's life shows us that repentance isn't just for salvation, but for sanctification. After his dramatic conversion, Newton continued turning from sin and growing in Christ being transformed by grace. His life of ongoing repentance reminds us that we are great sinners but Christ is a greater Savior.

In this message, we see that the commands of God are not burdensome. They are just what we need in the moment we need them. They introduce us to the kingdom of God, they let us show God that we are serious about our relationship with Him and they are clear straightforward ways of loving God and loving others.

Visit us at shapedbydog.com Why dogs "ignore" commands has less to do with defiance and more to do with education. When a dog doesn't respond, it's easy to label it as disobedience, but what that moment actually offers is feedback on what the dog has learned. In this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between commands and cues, how Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence shape understanding, and why dogs respond to pictures rather than words alone. When cues are taught with intention, reliability grows naturally, and responses become confident, joyful, and consistent, wherever you are. In this episode, you'll hear: • The difference between giving a command and cueing a behavior. • Why a dog not responding isn't disobedience, but feedback on their education. • How Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence work together in training. • Why dogs think in pictures and not in words. • What causes cues to fall apart in new situations. • How food can unintentionally become the focus instead of the behavior. • A real-world "sit" example with Kim's dog, Belief. • Why reinforcement isn't about eliminating rewards, but about evolving what is reinforcing for the dog. • What well-taught cues have in common under distraction and distance.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/011526.cfmWhy would God allow Israel to be defeated even while the Levites were carrying the Ark of the Covenant before the army into battle? And why would Jesus heal a leper — then sternly command him to tell no one? In this homily, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, brings these unsettling questions together and shows that they reveal the same spiritual danger: presumption.Israel treated the Ark as a weapon, a mere tool, rather than a sign of fidelity to the covenant with God. Though God had called them to be “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Ex 19:6; NABRE), the people and their leaders were living in grave sin. Trust in sacred objects rather than trust in God and determined obedience to God led to Israel's defeat. The Ark was holy — but the hearts of the people of Israel had grown hardened.In the Gospel, Jesus heals a leper, yet warns him not to spread the news. Christ is protecting His mission. He did not come as a mere political liberator, but to establish the Kingdom of God within the human heart. Leprosy, Fr. Mark explains, is a powerful image of sin: slow-growing, numbing, disfiguring, and blinding. Sin deadens the conscience and distorts the soul far more than disease ever could.Christ touches the leper without fear. His mercy is stronger than corruption. He desires to cleanse what sin has deformed and restore the beauty lost through disobedience. The true enemy is not external forces, but the sin that takes root within us. Only repentance and humility allow God's Kingdom to reign in our hearts. ★ Support this podcast ★

What does it mean to truly abide in Christ? Hudson Taylor's life answers this through his deep reliance on Jesus. Once striving in his own strength, Taylor came to realize that fruitfulness flows only from resting in Christ. His life bore lasting impact as he founded the China Inland Mission and helped bring the gospel to thousands. His story reminds us that the Christian life is not about what we do for Christ, but what He does through us as we abide in Him.
This sermon emphasizes the divine authority and practical value of all Scripture, affirming that it is 'God-breathed' and essential for teaching, correction, and spiritual growth. It distinguishes between different literary genres in the Bible—law, prophecy, history, wisdom literature, the Gospels, and epistles—urging believers to interpret each according to its intended purpose rather than applying all passages uniformly. The preacher warns against misapplying principles as commands, treating promises as guarantees, or reducing Scripture to legalistic rules, especially in light of cultural and historical context. He encourages a humble, discerning approach to Scripture, reminding listeners that while some passages may seem dull or confusing, they are still profitable when understood in their proper category, and that the ultimate goal is not mere knowledge but a deeper relationship with God through His revealed Word.
In this quick episode, you'll learn how layered commands in JAWS and Fusion can make complex tasks faster and easier by reducing the number of keys you need to press. The episode breaks down what layered commands are, how they work, and why they're especially useful for accessing advanced features efficiently. The training explains how to enter the command layer using JAWS key plus Space, and how single-layer commands allow you to trigger features like FSCompanion, Command Search, and other commonly used tools with just one additional keystroke. You'll also learn how commands are grouped by context—such as editing documents, messaging applications, and general system tasks. A major focus is on secondary layers, which let you access entire sets of related commands for features like Picture Smart AI, Convenient OCR, Face in View, table navigation, and volume controls. The session demonstrates how to use the question mark command to display available options within any layer, making it easier to discover and learn new commands on the fly. The episode also highlights how FSCompanion can be used alongside layered commands as a learning and reference tool, helping you explore features and commands directly within JAWS. This training is ideal for JAWS and Fusion users who want to work more efficiently, reduce keyboard complexity, and better understand the powerful layered command system built into their screen reader.

In this stirring new season of the Commands of Christ Podcast, we move from principle to practice—tracing the commands of Jesus through the lives of men and women who lived them out with passion, humility, and dependence on Him. Christ's Commands in Action invites us into the stories of ordinary individuals throughout church history who, by God's grace, lived extraordinary lives marked by obedience to the Word of Christ. From well-known names like Hudson Taylor and George Müller to lesser-known saints whose quiet faith shaped generations, each biographical sketch highlights a specific command of Jesus, showing what it looks like to put His Word into action. More than historical recollection, this season is a call to follow Christ as others have before us—not by exalting people, but by glorifying the power and presence of God working through flawed, but faithful vessels. These testimonies build our faith, exalt the risen Christ, and offer practical encouragement for how we too can walk as His disciples today. As we explore a new life each week, we'll be reminded that the same Christ who empowered them is alive in us—and that His commands are not just to be studied, but lived.
In this episode of Pray the Word on Genesis 7:5, David Platt calls us to walk with Jesus and seek to obey all his commands.Explore more content from Radical.
At the heart of this message lies a revolutionary truth that challenges everything we think we know about our relationship with God: He wants nothing from us and wants everything for us. Drawing from 1 John 3:1, we're confronted with an exclamatory declaration that demands our attention—'Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!' The word 'manner' in the original Greek reveals something profound: this love is from a foreign country, a supernatural nation we've never encountered. It's not earthly love with conditions and limitations; it's a love that transcends our comprehension. We often struggle to love a God we cannot see, touch, or hear audibly, yet the pathway to loving Him begins with understanding the depth of His love for us. This message unpacks the three biblical ways we love God—loving Him totally with all our heart, soul, and mind; keeping His commandments; and loving others as an outward manifestation of His love in us. But here's the liberating truth: our circumstances, our failures, our suffering, and our performance don't dictate God's love. Like an ocean that stretches beyond the horizon, His love cannot be measured by the 20-foot ebb and flow of our good days and bad days. We're invited to step out of the exhausting performance model that dominates every area of our lives and into a genuine relationship where His yoke is easy and His burden is light—because what He has for us individually fits us perfectly.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- Pastor Rick introduces the topic of the sermon, focusing on Hope Church's mission statement: Love God, Love People, Make Disciples.- The sermon emphasizes the challenge of loving God, especially as a being beyond human comprehension.**Loving God:**1. **Understanding God's Love:** - Begin with understanding the depth of God's love for us, as described in 1 John 3:1. - This love is foreign and supernatural, beyond earthly experiences.2. **Commands for Loving God:** - Love God totally: Matthew 22:37 emphasizes loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind. - Keep His commandments: Align life with God's word as it provides structure and life. - Love others: An outward manifestation of God's love.**Challenges in Loving God:**- Difficulty arises in comprehending God's love, which is not performative but based on relationship, not rituals or actions.- Past experiences and relationships often distort our view of God's love.- Suffering and hard times may challenge our understanding, but they don't negate God's love.**Key Illustrations:**- Rick shares personal anecdotes and stories, including one about a woman named Marge Caldwell, to highlight love, forgiveness, and unshakable faith.- The alabaster jar story from Mark 14 exemplifies sacrificial love and devotion to Jesus.**Practical Applications:**1. **Reflect on God's Unconditional Love:** - Meditate on 1 John 3:1 and other scripture detailing God's love. - Acknowledge that God's love is constant and not based on individual merit.2. **Pursue Relationship Over Ritual:** - Develop a personal relationship with God by finding ways that feel authentic to you, whether through study, prayer, or other forms of worship.3. **Demonstrate God's Love in Community:** - Engage in acts of love and kindness towards others as an expression of God's love dwelling in you. - Consider how community involvement reflects and amplifies your love for God.4. **Embrace Forgiveness and Grace:** - Identify areas where you might be performing out of obligation rather than love. - Recenter your spiritual practices around grace and forgiveness, both of yourself and others.**Discussion Questions:**1.

What does it truly mean to make disciples? In this powerful four-part conclusion to the Commands of Christ series, we explore the Great Commission as the crescendo of all that Jesus commanded. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Have we allowed the commands of Christ to shape our lives so deeply that we are compelled to pass them on to others? What legacy of discipleship are we leaving behind for the next generation?As we conclude this four-year journey through the commands of Christ, we are invited into the very heartbeat of discipleship: to go, to teach, and to pass on what we've received. The Great Commission is not the end—it's a beginning. Jesus calls us to treasure His commands, not only in our study and meditation, but in our obedience and our sharing (Matthew 28:18–20). We've discovered that these 51 commands are not mere rules but revelations of Christ's character, windows into His heart, and pathways into deeper relationship with Him. From abiding in Him to receiving His power, from denying self to awaiting His return, each command has formed a beautiful mosaic of what it means to follow Jesus. Now, with full hearts, we pass the baton—encouraging every listener to continue in the Word, to keep treasuring His commands, and to go make disciples. Let us walk forward with boldness, knowing that Christ goes with us, and let us live in such a way that others see Him clearly through our lives. This is not just a podcast series—it is the ongoing call of Christ. May we hear it and follow Him faithfully.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Before you lean in and read, take a moment to settle into your body. Take a few slow, deep breaths, extending your exhale a few extra seconds. Let your shoulders drop. Give yourself a moment to arrive in your space. ✨ Ponder…… “What am I ready to release and anoint as this year comes to a close?”The idea of being “hand-picked” or “destined for greatness” has a certain allure. We want to believe our purpose will be revealed to us, that we'll be graced with a special calling. However, this passive mindset can keep us stuck, forever hoping to be discovered.Authentic anointing, on the other hand, demands that we step forward and declare our own worth. It's about taking responsibility for our gifts, claiming our unique voice, and consecrating ourselves to our highest vision. No one can do this work for us - we must anoint ourselves.This may feel daunting, even arrogant. But it's the only way to catalyze the transformation we seek. When we courageously choose ourselves, we unlock an inner authority that transcends external validation. We become the vessels of our own sacred purpose.Being Anointed Isn't Passive – You Choose YourselfThe World of Scent: Holy Lessons from NatureAnimals live in a world defined by scent. Their survival depends on their ability to pick up the aroma of life, danger, food, and other creatures. This innate ability guides them through the world.Humans, on the other hand, often rely on sight, sound, and belief—tools that are powerful, but limited compared to the sensory richness of scent.The Spiritual Scent: The Fragrance of DominionAnointing is more than a symbolic act; it represents a “fragrance of dominion”—a spiritual frequency that all creation recognizes. Where animals sense the world through scent, the spiritually anointed carry an invisible signature: a powerful presence, a vibration of authority, life, and divine energy.This “spiritual scent” opens doors, commands respect, and grants protection in ways that words and appearances can't.But emotions like fear can mask this fragrance, distorting your spiritual signal and pulling you out of alignment with creation. That's why the process of anointing is also about recalibrating your internal state, aligning your frequency with the divine, and carrying that vibration into the world.Anointing: Ritual and Meaning through the AgesHistorically, anointing has meant the application of oil—signifying consecration or elevation into a new role or status. Spiritually, it's about being covered with the “oil of the Divine”—a frequency that conveys dominion and a status equal to the gods.This anointing shifts you at a cellular level, acting as a kind of spiritual “hazmat suit” that allows you to interact safely with higher realms and energies, protecting you from spiritual harm.This tradition has deep roots in Ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) spirituality. The ankh is the symbol for “life” or “breath of life.”The ancient had spiritual gatekeepers, ushering initiates through a process of purification called the Baptism of Fire. This baptism isn't about punishment—it's a refiner's crucible, burning away the ego and anything that keeps you from growth.Growth: The Balance of Challenge and NurtureTo grow, you need both challenge and rest. Opposition strengthens you; safety gives you space to heal. Walking the path of the anointed means balancing these two forces—embracing spiritual awareness (what the tradition calls “Heru's Sunship”) while remaining engaged in the world.Prophecy in a Modern AgeIn today's world, especially on platforms like YouTube, prophecy can sometimes lose its depth and integrity. The true intention of prophetic work is deep intimacy with the Divine, and its purpose is alignment, not entertainment.Authentic prophecy isn't about showing off or reinforcing personal agendas. It's about humbly sharing the heart and mind of God, and creating realignment—not manipulation. When prophecy is rooted in ego rather than Spirit, it loses authenticity and becomes a form of control.Discernment is vital.True prophetic leadership creates a mirror of the heavenly government structure on earth—what Christ called the “Eklesia,” and what we call positions like Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, Pastor, or Evangelist. These are functions for the purpose of collective guidance, not religious rank.A Time for Self-InquiryAsk yourself:What distracts me?What am I trying to prove?What am I afraid to lose or let go?What stands in the way of my spiritual vision?Bring these questions to the Divine and listen for the answers.If nothing comes through at first, that's okay. These questions work on you over time.In Closing Anointing, Dominion, and Living as an ImmortalAnointing isn't just a ritual; it's the receipt of a divine frequency—a kind of “OIL of Dominion” that aligns you with the divine. The anointed state is a state of spiritual immortality, carrying a fragrance that commands respect from creation itself.Ancient Kemetic symbols remind us that with Life (the ankh) and Dominion (the was scepter), the anointed one finds the power to break limits. Growth comes by balancing the opposing forces of challenge and nurture. This is the path to stewardship in the Golden Era: spiritual awareness united with effective, purposeful action in the world.All my love, Kassandra This is a public episode.

As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Have we embraced Christ's call not only to follow Him, but to help others do the same? Are we treasuring His commands in such a way that our lives overflow with the desire and ability to make disciples?As we reflect on the journey through the commands of Christ, we now arrive at the climactic call to make disciples—a commission that encapsulates all we've learned and lived out. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this command is not just about going, but about going with the authority of Christ, filled with His Spirit, and teaching others to observe—to treasure and guard—everything He has commanded. Discipleship is the natural fruit of our own walk with Jesus; we cannot lead others where we ourselves have not gone. As disciplined followers who abide in His Word, we are called to multiply that life in others, knowing we do not go alone—He is with us always. In a world often content with conversion, Christ calls us to spiritual maturity—to shape lives that are rooted, trained, and transformed. His commands, covering every area of life, are His heart expressed, and to teach them is to lead others into deeper fellowship with Him. Let us walk worthy of this calling, empowered by His presence, faithful in His Word, and committed to the mission: making disciples of all nations.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?
