   Divide and conquer; we're supposed to hate each other and trust the state/elite/technology, at least that's the plan. The real criminals, the people we should keep an eye on, are the plan's designers and implementer

   So it's yet another one API to rule them all? The only thing that idea ever lead to was more (complicated) APIs.

   Lisp makes a lovely data format imo, much nicer to work with than CSV/JSON/YAML/XML. https://github.com/codr7/whirlog

   And it's a balance act, both approaches to language design have merit. That being said, I can't work with std::variant, and God knows I tried to like it. Rust's enums look a lot nicer by comparison, haven't had enough ex

   And I can recommend listening to @neonsunset when it comes to C# performance :) Helped me a bunch to get Sharpl spinning, much appreciated. https://github.com/codr7/sharpl

   Well in that case, Java :) I've been having a lot of fun with Java lately, the maturity of the language/implementation and libraries allows me to focus on the actual problem I'm solving in ways no other language can currently

    I so envy people who manage to find interesting Common Lisp work, it's like we live in different dimensions.

    There it is again, the urge to port my Lisp back to C. https://github.com/codr7/eli What I love most about C is the fact that it doesn't talk down to me no matter what crazy ideas I come up with. It's therape

    Then why did people elect him again? Listening to people who did, it sounds a lot like their lives got better the last time. Are you saying they're lying? Or just stupid? Can you think of another explanation for the disconnect?

    Do you think anything that's not reported in mainstream media, or are you simply repeating what you consume? Because it looks the same to me. And the media isn't really there to inform you, it's there to make sure you think w

    Yeah, I know the theory. But I'm not exactly alone in feeling something is way off.

    But how does the drug differentiate between consumption and other impulses? If that's where your most powerful impulses are, that's where you're going to notice the difference.

    Sounds like a good case for keeping a detailed diary of emotional state to me. The effects don't have to be dramatic to be harmful, subtle over time is arguably worse. I just hope people keep their eyes open, that's all.

    Does it make any difference in practice who wins? Or is it the same money pulling the strings of whoever takes the seat? The illusion of choice is a very effective method for controlling people.

    Obvious in theory, but have you ever met one of those leaders?

    by codr7 2y ago

    What does competence have to do with anything here? Certain people are not fit to be leaders, because they have abusive personality disorders; unfortunately many of them currently are in leadership positions.

    True for digital copies, I've never yet bought one of those. I have no trouble paying for physical books though.

    C/C++ are two very different languages. Zig seems to follow the C tradition, and Rust C++.

    Have they ever claimed otherwise? It's not like they have a choice, gaslighting the general population is their only hope of staying on top/alive.

    Finally, a good use for those pesky surveys that no one answers, I'm pretty sure the goal from the start was to generate cover for whatever policies they feel like enforcing.

    I would add Muscimol to the list of things to try before. I've only heard stories about Salvia, but from some pretty hard core psychonauts whom I wouldn't expect to be afraid of anything. I get bad vibes from what I've read a

    I realize obesity a major issue for a lot of people. But is it worth giving up your impulses? I mean all of them. I have no proof that's how it works long term, but I do feel the question should be asked before we dive in head first.

    by codr7 2y ago

    I'm more worried about longer term side effects. This sounds a lot like numbing "bad" feelings to me; there's no way to selectively numb, it's all or nothing. Impulsivity isn't all bad.

    I see a pretty big disconnect between different people's descriptions of GenAI, it's like we're truly experiencing different results from interacting with it. Some claim it has amazing capabilities that shouldn't be poss

    I'm truly surprised anyone decides to disagree with that statement. It frightens me a bit that people think looks are more important than results. But I guess it's the world we live in.
