if someone in the group blames you for something, do you "accept responsibility" even if you didn't do the thing?
why or why not?5 -
urgh the nebulous decision between how fast you want a processing script to run vs how many computer resources you want it to use3

apparently the ability to want to try something new is creativity...
the what. that bar seems too low?4 -
TFW someone insults and demeans you repeatedly but keeps picking up habits and aesthetic and making decisions that copy yours...

do you separate the mechanics and functionality of software from the people in the community?
is there tools you love the functionality of but hate the community of, and vice versa?
were there tools you loved where the community ruined it for you, or tools you hated to use but the community won you over?
companies where you loved the software and hated the people or vice-versa?20 -
you ever habituate yourself to reflexively do something and then forget you ever did that and don't even notice you're doing it therefore can't turn it off because you're too oblivious to understand the problem
and for amusement what is it?9 -
lesson of alcohol:
it doesn't matter how well you do just do and fix it later, if that even becomes relevant which strangely it somehow doesn't
it's like, full-frontal idiocracy but because you engaged in it you got smarter somehow
I'm slow at doing my sudokus now though so maybe when I recover more I'll figure it out more. think I found ballmer's peak last night and I'm gonna hopefully remember to successful steal this mindset
unfortunately turns out if I even so much as sip a low alcoholic beer my spleen inflames so that fucking sucks, so re-visiting the mindset to make sure I transferred it over to my sober state might end up tricky but hopefully I'll still keep this quest outstanding until the whole thing sorts itself out5 -
why do people want to post controversial / inflammatory things
I remember some users here like to aspire to that. I'm naturally inflammatory, like to such a degree people get aggressive. so what benefits am I getting that I'm not aware of because I have this natural innate ability. why would you aspire for this quality?5 -
rust, where a basic bitch sort (not even the algorithm) takes you over 100 lines

AI hacking attempts being spotted in the wild because they're too polite
https://someone.elses.computer/@mik...
there's actually a similar vetting process in the crypto industry where you have to swear or you won't get hired. forget why now
this seems optimistic to me because companies generally don't do security. a hacker desperate for money has less money to blow on AI hacking than someone invested in protecting their company would on AI pentesting. poor low level pentesters I guess though -

turns out converting mutexes to mpsc isn't as easy as I thought it would be 😭
also can the AIs stop sucking. they're my only source of information7 -
would the idea that best government does as much as possible at the smallest level be a good design for code =_=
forgot what it was called. AI says localism
it's like being anti-global variables
but it also should get rid of needless architecture obsessions perhaps, because that's central planning government
you still have a coordination problem though?3 -
if the Internet feels like it's evolving fast are you old
it's like the fracturing off random places are now becoming big with their own sub-fractures2 -
been trying to figure out why I can't eat paprika for ages
so turns out there's something called ethoxyquin in it
> quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative
> Ethoxyquin was initially registered as a pesticide in 1965
??? concerning....
> food additive to use only in the spices chili powder, paprika, and ground chili.
... they feed it to salmon and chickens also...
FDA is like, "it's fine", the swiss decided to test fish that ate this stuff:
> loss of weight, changes in liver, kidney, alimentary duct, urinary bladder and mitochondria, anemia, lethargy, discolored urine, skin, or fur, increase in mortality, detrimental effect on immunity, condition factor of final body weight in relation to body length of fish and inducement of allergies (contact exposure)
the europeans:
> found one of its metabolites, ethoxyquin quinone imine, to be possibly genotoxic, and p-phenetidine, an impurity that could be present from the manufacturing process, to be possibly mutagenic
i rather my food was edible for at least a limited amount of time, instead of inedible at all times
I hate being sick. Everything I eat I feel, because everything you can eat is literally poison and I'm "sick enough" that I can feel it so drive myself fucking crazy. I have 2 other paprikas, one doesn't list this as an ingredient and the other has no ingredients list, so I guess let's see if I can actually eat paprika or am going to keep giving myself, I guess, organ damage and possibly cancer
remember kids, some places are banning charcoal because it could cause cancer. Those same places are feeding this to animals and putting them in spices though
stalin was right. You should be paranoid what you're being fed. And starve to death. At least you'll be able to think for a while8 -
so weird not to have my code crash...
before I'd check it every few hours and reboot if it has crashed
but now I check and it's just churning along
the bug was easy to fix once my brain cleared some4 -
wtf I am in shock but also validated
so apparently culture evolves
millennials now are the loser generation because they went to school and got degrees and were good little gremlins that kept their head down and budgeted and did everything right
and now they're like the laughingstock and viewed as more boomer than those boomers jokes we used to make
wiiiild
my mom would pressure me for school and I never agreed to people's 9 to 5 nonsense and the whole thing just felt wrong to me. so all this time I've been avoiding all that and felt "wrong" for society and kept it to myself but now the pervading culture agrees with me. whoa
I did not expect this. I thought culture was static somehow and people never learned. I've never seen culture change their minds en mass so I didn't know this was possible. wild1
