Security. system() is one of the most common targets for hacking (getting a shell by manipulating the string passed to system() by various means). Calling programs from the kernel directly is a lot more well-behaved. You're limited to

The shell is the true user interface to the OS. I like to think of writing shell scripts as having some mouse clicking automation tool on a GUI shell. It should be viewed as just as kludgy of a solution. But there really isn't anything

And the smart assembly programmer laughs at the C programmer. There are a couple dozen string-oriented x86 instructions that I've never seen a C or C++ compiler produce. You could easily get a 2x speedup on strings by hand writing clev

const char& c = a.front(); Unfortunately the STL has an overload for the non-const version, which would cause this problem. It's hard to imagine the cases where you'd need a mutable reference to a single character. I

C++11 was really a new language. It even had a whole new ABI. I'm surprised the transition went smoothly and not like Python 2 to 3.

No free lunches. You want creativity? Ok, go let your mind be feral like Van Gogh's or Kurt Cobain's. You want sanity? Become a perfect meditator and let those branches of thought die out without reacting to them. In return you ca

A lot of that stuff is toxic. People take these drug analogues, get sick, then blame the base molecule their government scared them from getting. Anything that's a prodrug has to be processed by your liver first. It puts extra strain o

That's not what I'm saying. Not having the ability to "talk" to yourself (either in words or in the abstractions that underlie the words) is a different issue. That is a serious handicap. What I'm criticizing is h

I'm not saying introspection is bad. Introspection should be siloed off into its own activity. Constantly doing it involuntarily makes you a slave to your own mind. I'm pretty sure non-human animals can daydream too. It isn&#x27

This isn't healthy. You should go on a meditation retreat. Or drop acid. This is what Buddhist monks call the monkey mind syndrome.

The "inner dialogue" is called the default mode network in neuroscience. It doesn't have to be thinking in "words" necessarily; you could also skip the words and still be thinking in a resting state. It serves the p

It's decent as far as 2000s era PHP goes. If you want to poke your eyes out, look at the source of some of the PHP web forum software out there. The leaked code ignores pretty much all design patterns and software architecture norms. B

One of the effects of psychedelics (LSD in particular) is extreme suggestibility. This was the reason the CIA was so interested in LSD in the early days. Basically, whatever setting one happens to be in when they do LSD can potentially beco

A lot of medically necessary prescriptions cause pupil dilation too. Also some genetic conditions. I'm more worried about giving police the right to take blood out of your body than I am about tripping drivers.

> Until you don't have the drug anymore, in which case you're left with an anxious person who can't cope with difficult circumstances. That's where you're mistaken. Psychedelics aren't for escaping reality.
