Why use age instead of a knowledge check instead?

Not to be confused with Dryococelus aka the “tree lobster”

Lately the most frequent ide/editors I’ve been using are sublime text, eclipse, and teXworks. I’d like to replace sublime text, maybe go back to emacs or give neovim a try. I’ll probably get rid of eclipse once I can replace the ee containers with self contained apps, I used vs code for a bit with java and it was fine but the ee server container integration wasn’t great, this was a couple years ago I last tried though.

You could become convinced your perception of it is an illusion and not reality as it actually is, then you would have no choice not to believe it.

The most efficient base for a number system is e.

We use base 10 with 0-9 digits and each position is a ten’s place, and the efficiency being measured is the product of the number of digits and the length of digits needed to represent a number in a given range of values. So if we used base 2 binary instead of base 10 decimal we only need to remember 2 digits 0-1, but to represent most numbers we’ll need more digits, 11 in base 10 is 1011 in base 2. On the other side we could use hexadecimal to write shorter numbers like 11 is B, but need to use more digits, 0-F digits where A-F are the 10-15 digits.

If you try to plot a function that minimizes the efficiency the minimum is at e. So you’d have digits 0-2 and e would be written as 10 since each position is an e’s place.

Referring to people, staff as resources. Nice and dehumanizing.

Same had a little acer mini laptop in early 2000s I used it for notes, office apps, etc during college and between the battery life and how much more portable it was than the giant laptop I had at the time it was great, it ran BSD without any fuss too.

Accomplishing difficult challenges & goals feels rewarding, pretty sure it’s mostly dopamine and some adrenaline

Paul says a lot of things that contradict Jesus, just like the gospels contradict a lot of things in the old testament.

All of the Judaism spinoff books change the original theology to match their new conceptions of what a god is or should be.

None of them go into enough detail about how the foreskin blood magic works though to really be enticing.

My favorite is probably Russell’s teapot, but Daniel Dennett had some good ones in the intuition pump book too.

It demonstrates the burden of proof is on the person making claims, including if the claim is unfalsifiable.

Carpal tunnel slasher can’t hold a knife

Monster sanctuary (turn based monster collector) and Roboquest (arena shooter) were a couple from recent years that stood out to me

For older games nethack and dwarf fortress are great if you can look past the graphics

Swamp thing from the saga of swamp thing by Alan Moore

There’s a minimum speed on highways because it is dangerous to slow below that limit, the stopping distance for 70mph is around 240 feet and 2.5 sec for perception & reaction.

I think what they mean is the picture is implying it’s due to generational changes when you could find a younger looking 34 year old then and an older looking 34 year old now. It’s a sample size of one. By definition that’s argument from anecdote, there’s no way you can infer generalities from that without being hasty.

Yeah plain text based & image only memes

I put on my robe and wizard hat, that dancing baby gif, all your base, etc

There was also some push back on posting images with text embedded because it makes the text unsearchable/not compatible with screen readers at the time/forced font and color that can make it harder to read, but then the image macro sites took off that made it simple for anyone to create from a template and there was no turning back

Code written by software doesn’t mean AI unless you ignore compilers

Executives lie to boost profits and justify their decisions, I doubt MS execs even know how much of their code is AI generated just like the ad sales company exec they were talking to in the article
