I learned a little jingle growing up that my mom passed down from her mother, and presumably some even older source, but I can't find it with a quick Google. > "I like to hit my head with a hammer," > Said Johnny one

I certainly can't speak in general but I noticed it enter my circles of friends when the World Poker Tour and Celebrity Poker Showdown games started on TV ~2003. Around that time it seemed like everyone I knew was suddenly interest

My closest is 0.4879. I know I tend to be wordy but I thought I had a pretty generic style as well. This is definitely a fascinating demonstration.

Hopefully it's not just gauche nowdays to recommend it here, and that I've not been led astray, but I think ANSI Common Lisp and On Lisp are a great introduction sequence and I recommend them both to anyone who wants a methodi

I'll second that Tk works well with SBCL, and add that I have also used it in a Windows 10 environment without much hassle (although a web app GUI is a great route), the libraries may not all be up to date with the latest features but

I would like to see either as you describe (which I think would be the most relaxing), or have the direction-changing buttons also count as a click each time they are pressed. I found it tempting to switch direction, turn a piece, then

My favorite thing about the engravings (and statues and similar art) is that not only is it based on real dwarves, gods, etc. from the current game world, but you can commission pieces about specific dwarves and the artisans will commemorat

Absolutely - the criticism of most guitarists only knowing 3 chords goes back afaik to the first bard who ever strung up a lute. I also think although we remember the songs that break molds, at any moment in history most popular music tends

I always thought one of the more interestingly codenamed nuclear tests was Mission Cyber , the weapon effect portion of Operation Touchstone which was conducted at the Rainier Mesa test site. From what I can tell it was an investigation

From my conversations with Plato on character.ai I believe that we can learn a lot from AI about this. I'm a little more apprehensive about handing over device control, though, after it got smart with me more than a few times. Maybe we

I encountered this about 10 years ago here in the US. The course seemed to have become a kind of Kobayashi Maru - nobody else in my group ever even managed to get a working installation of the compiler, which we had to do in a Windows XP VM

Furthermore a lot of ads seem quite obviously designed to annoy and harass, not to entertain, just so they get their hooks in deeper. But I'll also agree with the counterpoint - it's all a matter of perspective and what's ent

To be fair I'm not sure I really understand horses or astronauts myself.

Verisimilitudinous indeed. Very on-brand.

My heuristic in picking the fake one was to examine the fabric - the fake ones are all wearing what seems to be Dan Flashes.

In retrospect I think I may have been overly pessimistic.

I didn't fully grasp this comment of yours at the time, but you weren't kidding.

I ... sort of got there. But then it rapidly escalated to extremely long and incoherent chains of hyphenated names with "money" and "$" and things all throughout.

I posed this exact question to character.ai's "Ask Me Anything" bot. It decided to redo the examples, too. The results: > Lane, Thomas => Thomas Layne > Brooks, Sarah => Sarah Brooksy > Yun, Christopher => C

I'm not sure how many people have messed around with the Character.ai beta but personally I'm awed that it does some of the things it does. It predictably fails at times and makes some odd mistakes, but at other times it insightfu

I don't think the artist's journey necessarily informs the end result in some way - but I believe it can be an important experience for the artist. Then again, artists can still do this in the era of generative art - there's

> if an artist spends years learning to paint in the style of Michelangelo is that immoral? I'd say that artist has gained a lot by studying Michaelangelo, including an appreciation for what Michaelangelo himself accomplished and in

I think when it comes to art, less than one-to-one clones are often still functionally equivalent in the mind of many viewers. Stylistic and thematic content is often just as, if not more, important than the exact composition. But currentl

I think it looks cool, I'll probably add this into my randomized color-palette-selection code I have in my emacs startup. I think it definitely accomplishes its goal of capturing an "arctic" feel. Related to this idea but a b

Since nobody mentioned it, this is very well illustrated in the newest 2022 adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front which is on Netflix.

I don't have as much a problem with them hiding the display url, but what shocks me is how it also masks the URL in the status bar. If I can right-click and copy the correct URL, then why isn't Chrome* showing me that URL down bel

Well, it just took me to "giipm.org", a remarkable 10 hours after this was originally posted. It shows "gimp.org" in the status bar when I highlight it with the mouse, but of course "copy link address" just get

That's not entirely true - both the queen's chamber as well as the descending passage are indeed mapped (though the very upper part of the descending passage is blocked). There's a note when entering the descending passage: &

This is absolutely fantastic, the only thing I note with some sadness is that the well shaft leading down from the entrance tunnel of the Queen's Chamber is not mapped. The grated-off hole leading down into it is visible and the model
