Yeah I think this is a great idea, the trick is: how do we organize the knowledge? The reason I ask is because I am working on that question (heyho! :) so my answer is that we need a way to prioritize the information so that people don&#x27

Downvote because it doesn't really have anything to do with what he is asking. You claim that someone who does the job is valuable, nobody disagrees. He asks; where can I find good explanations of concepts that I've found useful t

The terminal is still the most efficient control center for the machine. We have less control than before so we get dragged into the cloud, onto centrally coordinated networks. There are converging factors that will give back some control b

You could see forth as just netstrings recursively. You evaluate the outermost netstring by unquoting and then doing a forth over the netstrings it contains.

Because, as you no doubt already know, the only useful advice is "just do it" - the whole point is that you are more capable than you think (or I guess not you since you've already put yourself to the test I suspect).

Maybe I am starting to spam the thread a bit here but I think the answer is canonical S-expressions, but proving that to be the case is more tricky than it looks although it is also kinda obvious from the surface level; vectors in s-express

Very interesting! thanks for this. The n-ary relations are bipartite graphs, one partition in the graph is the relations (hyperedges). This is /the/ universal (turing machine) theorem of computing. By the way, check out datalisp.i

Forth is also homoiconic (arguably more so than lisp) and it can be thought of as being purely vectors.

Universal in the sense of structure, but vectors are pretty faithful to the machine memory.. which also makes them universal but more in terms of content. Therefore we should use canonical S-expressions as a universal data interchange forma

Just use canonical S-expressions, then you've got linked lists where the atoms are vectors, best of both worlds :)

I think I can name an example, which is how I am approaching datalisp; https://sr.ht/~ilmu/tala.saman/ the first principles bit for my context refers to: fixing a standard encoding that is sufficient for the task,

Why do people think these things get respected? What ultimate authority is omniscient in this way? The fact is that if I can access the source then it is effectively FOSS, especially if I'm a military. Please take a long hard look at h

So long as you can reference the correct context for interpreting the data, see: datalisp.is.

What is text though? Aren't bits the universal interface? Bytes have different sizes, text has different encodings, ...

Absurd opinion for an absurd time. Local optimas and stagnation is not how we solve the systemic problems on the internet and in the world. Sure if your value add is content then go ahead and use mature tools within the paradigm, but if you

Memorizing is not cheating. Many of the pros do that. He'd need to be receiving computer analysis during the game for it to be cheating.

Well, if you are just 16 you are bound to make some slip-ups like this due to having an incomplete idea of the possible "attack" surface that the defender can use (to accuse you of cheating).

I think it's interesting he had this take from young. As I've grown up I've seen the internet change from whatever it was to whatever it is and the delta is definitely very grift-y. However I don't think it is fair to sa

Lol, yes exactly.. but "most people don't know what they are doing" is probably also your opinion so scaffold tools would be a huge lever for "most people" no?

Egh, I will just link to my comment from that other thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33083868 We need something like a "gradually typed version control system".

The world changes through the collective effort of the people who inhabit it. Not because some demigod wrote a script.

I gotta say. Lately it feels like the internet is always trying to bait me into explaining something properly. My game has been a bit about not doing that because these ideas are old and others have already explored and explained the variou

The hardest thing is learning how to relax. You will die eventually so facing that honestly is good but how does it affect your assessments? Are you going to give up and hedonist? or are you going to try-hard and conservatist? My 2c is to f
