Looks like it's some random user who has generated some lyricslyrics translations between Arabic and English. It's strange, they don't seem to have many contributions. I would have imagined them to be more prolific. https:&#

If you genuinely had some unique experience that has left you with real trauma/PTSD, then therapy is for you. Advice is directional, however, and 99% of people going to therapy are not in that situation.

Fair enough. I have no experience with CBT, but what I've heard sounds reasonable. I still have a baseline suspicion of people purporting to be able to make you a better person for a fee, though. I should also say, I'm not includi

Is there perhaps a reason that you wouldn't talk about it anywhere else? Is it because it's deluded and antisocial? Consider that some thoughts should just remain internal. The main trick of therapy is to get you to show the monst

There's nothing wrong with seeking outside help, I just don't suggest you involve monetary incentive. Friends and family will not let you trauma dump on them for an hour every week for three years, because it's exhausting. Th

What does someone do with a PhD at age 35? Go into industry? Continue as a postdoc? Open a juice bar? It doesn't matter what she's going to "do" with it. It's accreditation of a certain degree of academic achievemen

I had always interpreted quadratic funding as being a tax rather than a subsidy. You donate $100 and the cause receives $100, then your next marginal $100 is discounted quadratically, and the government receives the difference. I think that

I don't appreciate cartoon pornography being shared here. I think this website is best when it's professional.

So if a function dereferences a pointer, it doesn't make sense to check that it's not null inside the function? Unless there's an actual performance implication, this is all purely a matter of taste. This is the kind of broad

Pray tell, how many places is appropriate to call the same function? Is 5 too many? How about 6? When I hit 7, I have to refactor everything, right?

I didn't realize that CVE was funded by the DHS. Isn't it better for it to be independent and not funded by an intelligence agency? It's enough of a public good to have a common advisory for vulnerabilities that FAANG should

I think I already addressed this point. You also need to think about second-order effects, but like I said, there are second order effects to all of these solutions. Just because nuclear's side effects are more easy to dramatize doesn&

Invocations of the anthropic principle come with more baggage than may be realized. And I suppose, by extension, the Copernican principle too. https://www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/lec17.html

The bounty is not a market. It's a subsidized incentive to subvert the market, and to give greyhat hackers a reason to be white-tinged instead of black-tinged. I would conservatively guess this guy could have found at least 30 people w

Please point me to instructions on how to make my own bluesky instance that federates with the existing bluesky, and which does not rely on bluesky's authentication.

by jovial_cavalier 2y ago
You cannot run a bluesky instance on your own. The AT protocol isn't really a protocol in the same way that matrix or mastodon is. It's just an API, you know like all platforms used to have?

Am I crazy for thinking this is (mostly) useless? It feels like programming in the last five years has turned into a competition of who can make the most abstract meta programming patterns. I think if you find yourself making use of this fe
