As the parent, I have complete control over who my children can connect with on Nintendo (not so with Roblox and others). That makes it safe, because I can double check with parent of said friend. It’s completely fine.

The BBS scene was much more accountable. I mean, I met some weird dudes on there and consumed some weird stuff, but at the end of the day it was a local community, and everything was traced back to real people. I tried to sign up as “Roge

Yeah, no. Nintendo, as the other poster said. Random stranger interaction == bad. Can’t verify age == bad. Can only add your friends for chat? Is fine. I feel like this same strategy is sane for adults also. Before the internet, we did fine

Really fun times. I “learned” to solder around that time and age also. Playing Mod files through a DIY version of that “thing” piped into a portable stereo speaker was awesome. Years later I learned what flux was, and soldering became quite

I mean, it’s literally one of the dark triad. Dark. Not misunderstood. The DSM basically took all those “traits we think of as evil” and said “we shall make some disorder categories”. People with NPD don’t go and get help, they just run aro

I just. Don’t care? I mean, I want to connect to a few people. I’m human, I love, I feel. I don’t care about connection with most of the people I would interact with.

Wow, I can’t get past the first couple of paragraphs. > I’ve tried so hard to learn how to connect with people. It’s all I ever wanted, for so long. Are there really people like this? HN is probably the wrong place to ask this question,

Diamond inheritance is its own special kind of hell, but “protected virtual” members of java and c# are the “evil at scale” that’s still with us today. An easy pattern that leads to combinatorial explosion beyond the atoms in the universe.

Uiua is super friendly. Like the friendliest language ever. It breaks your brain for sure, but in a pleasant way. It is by far the easiest way to learn an array based language; thanks largely to the web based “Pad” and the clever text to sy

Wisdom is not intelligence. Have we forgotten the word? You don’t need intelligence to be wise, and it’s more important to be wise than to be smart. Seek wisdom and a good life will result.

I’m not sure this is actually true? Do messages have to be copied?

As a curious bystander, it will be interesting to see how the Zig async implementation pans out. They have the advantage of getting to see the pitfalls of those that have come before. Getting back to Rust, even if not natural, I agree with

Adding a data point. I don’t think this is aphantasia, but rather SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory). For the future, the memory has to be recorded as facts as the original experience is gone. This means the emotions and othe

OOP has many short comings (enough that I would say it has been the single worst design paradigm that afflicted this industry), so Rust felt like a breath of fresh air to a c++ dev. However, many basic patterns that are employed when you

I first heard about “thinking in pictures” from Dr Temple Grandin, who is autistic and associates it with autism. Anyway, it’s also how she thinks and appears to be a super power when it comes to designing feed lots. https://www.

That seems incredibly naive. There are many examples of extremely intelligent people with psychopathy or narcissism. Also empathy does not lead to kindness by default; it is used as a tool by the most sadistic.

This is a really interesting new side channel attack. One I had never considered before; it’s like rowhammer but for the screen. Clever. Also evil. Clever and evil.
