I hope they share their secret epistemology machine with us, it would be of such great benefit to the human race!

Lol what a funny joke. It's really hard to exit vim, guys! Heh, I've never heard that one

Except platforms are the internet in any meaningful sense of the word. In the 80s people literally thought that when you and I wanted to exchange data over the net, I would connect to your computer or vice versa. Even setting aside centrali

I'd recommend scheme. It hits all of your points, and also makes manipulating symbolic expressions very easy, so you can do things like differentiating functions with very little code

What are some episodes from this book that you found particularly poignant and interesting?

Well the actual Q posts routinely give false predictions - I think I recall one where he said that hillary clinton would be arrested on date X, which obviously never happened. Also there was some kind of thing earlier this year about corona

Paying attention to the evolution of media and narrative over the past several years, it's as if every "mainstream institution" is fusing into one enormous superorganism mega-institution occupied by the same people, putting o

I mostly play brogue currently but I've been getting into angband variants. Sil is probably my favorite of those so far

Is DCSS any good these days? I remember playing it back aruond 2014 (0.14-0.15?) and beating the game a few times, but it felt like each update just increasingly dumbed it down

Ah, I had assumed that any benefit would be purely in terms of code size/instruction cache usage. That's interesting!

by voldacar 6y ago
would a compiler even emit an instruction like this?

It's an absolutely gorgeous airplane. For that reason alone I hope they succeed

It's far too wild, bizarre and creative to be from an intelligence agency. I've followed it off and on for a few years and there's just no way that any pentagon boardroom dweller could have thought up half of this shit. Also,

>He was an antidemocratic thinker Yeah he never pretended otherwise. I'm not sure what your point is here - that there shouldn't be any antidemocratic thinkers? There should only exist people who like democracy?

I was referring to the health of free speech across the site in general, I wasn't making a defense of thedonald. And 90% of political subs on reddit blatantly ban people from $opposite_side, that's just how reddit is

by voldacar 6y ago
Thedonald existed on reddit for quite some time and during that period, free speech survived relatively intact. Since the banning of thedonald along with hundreds of other subs, free speech has suffered, not improved, inconsistent with your

I know nothing about grape biology so it may be a dumb question, but how would these grape plants be pollinated? Do you need some kind of insect? or does someone have to walk around the greenhouse, shaking the vines or brushing the flowers

Synthesis kernel by massalin comes to mind. not sure if there is a modern equivalent. pretty sure lisp systems like SBCL can do things like function specialization and loop unrolling at runtime but I haven't tried.

glibc is such a mess. whoever wrote that isalnum monstrosity should be legally banned from operating a c compiler

Maybe people can take this code, fix a bunch of vulnerabilities, and keep developing a fork ofvit where MS left off Unlikely, but would be cool :)

How does a prescription keep it from being swallowed? Do the molecules become sentient somehow and take on the will of the prescribing doctor? Also it's OTC in europe

Yeah that is definitely true. In fact that makes a lot of these questions essentially impossible to answer

Given sane priors, shouldn't one always assume that they penetrated farther into the continent by some amount than the recovered artifacts indicate? 1) for any single artifact X, the chance that X is found at the innermost point that v

Well compared to most, Americans are uniquely afraid about making even innocuous racial references, let alone racial banter or joking around between friends. So expect a lot of that since this forum is mostly populated by Americans.

I'm not sure that this is true. Common Lisp shoots for "100% solutions" a lot and it never ends up with the kind of crap that this article describes. This could just be a result of the fact that a lot of clunky-looking code c
