Guiys, the fucking swearing in the name suks alot. Not all the managers like it. That's why we have perfesionalism, cause prfesionalism is good. Guiys, we haf to get along. We cant do it with swearing. Please, think about pleasing ever

Benched tries to explain humans to aliens, episode 122: "It was possible to compose pictures and sound coming from a screen in such a way that some people would consider it dangerous."

I'm just the opposite. Work doesn't even cross my mind after I run out of the office shouting "Freedom!" My manager once asked why I didn't see a change to a meeting time he made late the night before; I just laughe

What do you think the actual odds are that the parent has never created anything of value?

The sense of righteously indignant moralizing at others is just as "amazing" to me. And by amazing, I mean worthy of ridicule.

I have rolled several of my own DirectX-only engines, so I'm guessing that no, most people probably do not. I always wrote them so that all DirectX and Windows specific code was abstracted behind platform-agnostic generic interfaces. S

The "non obvious" part that makes it RAII is simply that the stack variable in question owns another resource besides itself. The stack variable is being used to wrap something else, be it a chunk of memory, a file handle, one or

I'm a long-time C++ programmer, and I set out to learn Haskell at one point. I didn't really 'finish', but everything I learned tended to make me think, "Ok, so it's like having a library full of algorithms tha

I once interviewed with a game company, and 5 minutes before the interview they sprung an NDA on me and severely rushed me through signing it. I had time to notice that it said they had rights to any work I might do in the future that was &

Just because you can use the complexity of C++'s full rule set to contrive vexing and ambiguous trivia, doesn't mean it's necessarily important to know all of it.

I'm walking the tightrope of surviving a work environment I despise right now. The crux of the game I'm currently locked in is I naively accepted a relocation package, provided in true corporate style by several layers of delightf

It's just extremely popular at this point in time to always locate all responsibility at the individual who's the subject of the self help. It's empowering! Wherever you go, there you are! Never mind that, much like the conce

The problem of 1 not being prime could be easily solved by having a separate term, say "noncomposite" or whatever you like, that means the set of the primes and one.

That comic isn't one of xkcd's finer moments. It only works if all the people are coincidentally on their way to someplace like Mountain View or Redmond. You know damn right well that you're 'more conscious' than mo

I can't second this strongly enough. These drugs can be devastating when they're not right for you. And the standard for diagnosis is a glorified questionnaire.

Either there is a piece missing from my brain that prevents me telling the difference between fonts in the same general category, or some of y'all are discussing the stitching on the emperor's new shirt.

In arcades, the money was still not inside of the game design. In IAP centric games, dollars are inside of the game mechanics.

I wouldn't put it so absolutely, but I agree that the kind of people who manipulate some of the most complex systems ever devised by humankind, are the kind of people who would probably benefit greatly from a trip.

The idea that a legitimately great movie can't be based on a product doesn't make any sense to me. My reigning, hardly ever challenged, favorite movie of all time was based on a line of toys, and could have been called an advertis

The Lego Movie inserted itself directly into my top five of all time. Every line of the script is brilliantly written, it is roll-on-the-ground hilarious, the comedic timing of the action is perfect, and it even hits philosophical points. I

That doesn't faze or surprise me. Do not get me started on the bigness or inscrutability of the universe.

Stan Grof's books are some of the best I've found on the topic of consciousness and 'reality' in general. He is so committed to learning about consciousness, he kept exploring the subject by whatever means he could find

Yes, we'll compress it into a few sentences in a Hacker News comment, to make it as easy as possible to trivialize via verbal argument. The very idea that you can discriminate true and "false" senses of the cosmic, for anybod

You're still doing it. You're spouting inanity you contrived out of your own head, and feigning to attribute that inanity to typical LSD use. But do keep promoting your conclusion - I'm sure there's some important insigh

I hesitate to even bother in this environment, where anything other than studies that meet the standards of rigor of Hacker News are dismissed, however: A lot of people have a lot of idea about it, because a lot of psychiatrists and psychot

You seem particularly motivated to discount the awakening effects of LSD. I never mentioned seeing problems in society, so as far as I'm concerned that's a strawman. Are people wrong to feel profundity in the mundane? Is there ano

I guess if it is humble enough, that opinion isn't too harmful. I think many people would find it dismissive of their experience, especially since you have no justification for characterizing their experience for them. To presume to sp
