I don't crave power. I don't want to dominate someone else, to command and see
them follow me.
I want to be the person who's like "oh, you're working on this-and-that? I know
a guy who can help." or "hey I noticed we have a vulnerability in this
particular domain under these conditions, I think we should allocate
this-or-that resource to ameliorate it because they aren't being used to their
full potential"
I think I understand exactly what you're saying. I empathize a lot. I'm afraid
of responsibility, sure, but who isn't? However, the responsibility has to be
held by someone, and who better than the one making the decisions...
I don't want to make decisions because it feels good. Honestly it feels kinda
bad.
I do want to make decisions because I'm good at it. I think strategically.
A leader alone is prey for the wolves, so they say...

shallow conversations are hardly effective, I find. Unless they're logistical,
and then they're just passing information - they're hardly conversational.
To me, a conversation is a back-and-forth. It needs to have change, people need
to consider, to argue their ideas, to wander through thoughts, to share
emotions, and / or to resolve conflict, whether internal or external. It can
have some of those, all of those, or none of those, but that's what comes to my
mind.
So a shallow conversation wouldn't really count as "effective" for the purposes
of the original toot : )
... hehe toot

review of one of my favorite books, The Deed of Paksenarrion.
"Elizabeth Moon's trilogy feels like it comes from an alternate history or an
extinct branch of the evolution of fantasy. It has a bit of a cult following,
from what I can tell it has been more or less continuously in print since its
release in 1988, but it -- and its author -- have mostly faded into midlist
obscurity. It offers a ton of things that are uncommon in fantasy nowadays, so
people looking for something a bit different might check it out."

if you're just learning how to cook, I highly recommend "Ms. Dash" and "Better
than Boullion" - focus on getting the ingredients and mechanics right, and then
work on seasoning them.
Level 2 is paprika, garlic powder, onion flakes, lime juice, and red pepper
flakes for spice.
level 3 is learning the difference between basil, oregano, parsley, and other
herbs.
be careful with salt and pepper. They can do a lot, but they can also easily do
too much. better to salt to taste.
also, MSG is wonderful for savory dishes. Your body breaks it down into sodium
in your stomach acid so imagine you're adding salt when considering MSG for
healthy proportions.

Nazis could never claim America because the European Jews were very
isolationist. They lived in their towns and lived blessed lives but knew only
each other, as was typical in pre-industrial times.
In America, nazis would have to fight the queers, the blacks, the mexicans, the
liberals, and many more besides. Each of them would fight their own battles but
god is on the side of the plurality of humanity, not the genociders who seek to
prune the trees of the garden of Earth to suit their own shallow fancies.
Though god is a bloodthirsty kind at times, only with righteous anger does he
proclaim that souls must be reaped. Such a time is rare, and comes about when,
for example, an entire people is slain in Europe in the mid 1900s. justice will
be done, though the heavens weep...
There are better and brighter days before us, and there is room for all, should
they not fall on our swords and perish. The far right is a death cult, and they
intend to take all down with it. We cannot allow that, they shall not prevail.
This has been forseen, this is why we convene, and together our perils will
unveil.

high fantasy is beautiful... but "high fantasy" is absurd

well, if your partner doesn't want to change their mind, they won't. And if
someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone
else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay to
be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change
someone else's mind if they're wrong and hurting others. But that's rare.

voting for those who represent you is fine, but those who represent them have
non-cultural agendas as well. their plans are designed to hurt others, an act
which grants them power over others. usually financial power, but there are
many kinds of power, and all of them are unethical when applied

liberalism is capitalism with a dash of globalism. they are of the right, and
it is important to have a right-wing party because a one-winged bird cannot fly.
there are legitimate benefits to their philosophies, and they may be applied to
all kinds of systems, even those that do not utilize currency at all.
however, in modern america, there is another party, a party farther to the
right, a party which is voted into power based on culture, something
unassailable and inalienable and yet always perpetually under threat. or so
they make it seem.
this "farther-to-the-right" party is duplicitous in it's ideals. their persona
is that of businessmen, familymen, and journeymen. they claim to be farmers,
pastors, and step-fathers.
but they are something more, something behind their mask, that those who vote
for them cannot see.
for they were all of them, deceived...

I have this notion about a math/CS curriculum where students build and program
their own calculators. Once you make the calculator do it you never need to do
it yourself again.
for the same reason that "writing is thinking" is true, so too is "programming
is calculation" true.
by working through the steps required to produce a result, and fully
understanding each step, they have a much more solid understanding of what's
going on than if they practiced rote memorization (worse) or continual
computation (better, not best tho)
especially if every step of the way is accompanied with visual elements which
show exactly what is happening. Some people are more visual, some people are
more algorithmic, and finding a way to teach all types of people is a truly
difficult and rewarding part of teaching.

You know how in some games there's the tutorial where you set up keybindings
like "push the jump key now! okay now push the enblobbify key now!"?
I wish there was something like that for vim
"push the key you want to move up with! now push the key you want to use to
vertically select! now push the key you want to use to switch to a new tab!"
that kind of thing. except... more ordered, of course, and with the option to
say "idgaf use the default or whatever" and a handy dandy cheat-sheet that was
autogenerated with ascii art of a typical keyboard that pointed out what each
key did - jeeeezzzzz the things we could make if software developers had free
time during the day...

just to note this type of link is not the only way they could implement
tracking. In fact it's kind of the worst way, because it's so obvious.
a more insidious way that we need to be aware of would be to generate a unique
URL for every person that visits a link. LIke, for me it might be
"youtu.be/abcdefg" but for you it'd be "youtu.be/hijklmnop" and there'd be very
little way for us to notice.
be aware of this if they try it.

did you know that IF checks can be represented using arithmetic? It's true!
... as long as your input value A is a 0 or 1, of course. If A, then B.
Otherwise, C.A B + (1 - A) C
which means that an OR check could perhaps be something similar toA / B - (1 +
A) / C

I mean, if you consider the past as despotic in nature, then it makes a bit
more sense that we'd lean left as time progressed. All things are defined in
waves, after all, at least until they reach escape velocity.
the goat is talking about math, ritz
oh yes of course. the issue is that if you're coming from a math background you
start with the calculation and store it in a variable as an afterthought. but
programming is more algorithmic than computational, meaning things only reduce
at runtime (hidden from the user of course by the compiler)
an algorithmic perspective is "here's a box. Put this value in the box. Use the
box later." while a calculating perspective is "here's some complicated,
difficult equation. Let's wrap it up with a single name so that we can easily
use it later."

I think they should be viewed in whatever resolution they were recorded in,
otherwise they look fuzzy as the pixels need to smush themselves together to be
correctly represented on screen.
videos should be recorded in whatever resolution your monitor supports, and
ideally as high as possible. Unless storage space is a concern, in which case
1080p is more than sufficient.
Storage gets cheaper and cheaper every year, but people across the world upload
like, 200 years of videos to Youtube every day or whatever (made up that number
but it's absurd) so maybe curated collections of videos are more important than
scraped archives?

gotta start somewhere! and where better to start than here? someplace people
are familiar with, because "here", while not shared equally or equidistantly,
is still common enough knowledge that people can feel comfortable with some
slight, yet incredibly impactful, alterations.
... though "comfort" in the short-term isn't always the most important thing. I
do believe it can be useful sometimes. How are you going to get people to
consent to something if they don't think it helps them, and how can you show
them that it helps them if it makes them uncomfortable?

that's totally fine, a fish does not do well in a tree, and so too does a
leftist not do well in an environment without the potential for stable bonds.
Essentially all you'd be able to do is "hey leftism right?" "oh yes I also
leftism" "neat" which isn't very productive.
I also live in an environment like that. I do my best to identify people who
stay, because in my experience there are often people who stay. I do this by
walking around the neighborhood when I can, making up excuses to walk to the
dumpster or mailbox at random hours, riding my bike around the area, using the
communal spaces like gyms, swimming pools, and picnic tables, and sitting in my
hammock on my porch lazily noting people who walk past.
People who stay will tend to remain in your mind the more times you see them.
They are better people to talk to than the renters who disappear after 3 months
or whatever.
I don't always do all that stuff at once. I take breaks. I do one at a time. etc

also "your neighbors" could mean people in your general area. It doesn't have

TINY can of tomato chunks and a big hunk of butter
let it cook until it's smooth consistency, stirring and such. Add paprika,
cumin, and a bit of oregano.
then put the beans on before the salsa, and BOOM even BETTER nachos.

make sure you clean grease and such from appliances too! Like, sometimes
previous renters will spill something down the side of the oven and you won't
notice because it's right up against the wall / cabinet / fridge...
if you can, pull them out a bit and check to see if there's anything you can
clean. Cockroaches will eat grease and can live off of it for a long time.

if you want to solve EVERY housing issue in the United States, at least in the
short and mid-term, add a ramping tax penalty for unoccupied houses that
doesn't reset to 0 upon being occupied but rather starts ticking down at the
same rate that it increases.
Something like 0.5% to 1% of the property value for every month it's gone

you can't start a game of chess with a checkmate. you're not wrong on the goal,
but the timing would only be possible if a significant amount of other unnamed
"effects" were in play. Or rather, if a whole lot of other conditions were made
to be true.
I find the best strategies are the ones that rely the least on externalities
and potentialities. Fewer points of failure, smaller attack surfaces.

I had a dream about "what if people listened to me" and it was a melancholy
kind of sad, the kind that comes after a great tribulation as one picks up the
pieces.
Food is so important, people grow tired of the same thing every day. They say
an army marches on its stomach, and our stomachs these days are accustomed to
variety, taste, and plenty.
It would get better, give it time, and in time our wounds would heal. But
wouldn't you rather persist in this timeline, the one that isn't doomed, and
instead flourish in the ways inertia brings us? Capitalism must fall, of
course, but it will fall of its own accord after we've done our best to
maintain the world we live in.
"better to be starting from scratch, than lose your path"
... Yeah, okay, true, but just like justice is its own reward, so too is
hardship it's own burden.
you can't eat justice
No, but at least you aren't enslaving anyone.
they would be slaves still, without your patronage
Liberation for all comes later, I guess. First up is building a safe and stable
home for us.
safe and stable... Like the one you have now? Like the kind the Democrats
promise?
Yes, but ideological purity calls me to believe that slavery should not be
accepted. It should not be something we condone. And yet they do, albeit
indirectly, and so I am perplexed.
if you want good food, live in the country. Hence why all the suburbs are
empty.
... Anyway, 3am musings, gonna program a bit and go to sleep again...

A wherewolf and a human stumble into a bedroom in the dark of night, their arms
clutching each other as they make out in front of the window.
Just then, the moonlight appears, and the wherewolf's form begins to shift, as
strangled cries turn into a cacophanous mess.
The moment passes, and the wherewolf collapses onto the bed, exhausted.
He rests there on his back for precious moments, before throwing himself to his
feet and putting on his socks and sandals.
Ha glances in the mirror.
He straightens his tie.
He goes to fucking work, again, just as the laundry dings.
When he gets back, it smells musty, so he washes it again with bleach.
exhaustion cares not for form, only exertion.
The wolf collapses once more into bed, tired from a day of accounting. He
thinks to turn on the TV, but he slips away before getting the strength to rise
for the remote.
In his dreams, there are children clutching at his skirt with big bright eyes
begging him not to sleep. Not to dream. Not to feed. He brushes them aside as
he always does, and fixes her makeup in the mirror. She glances back at them,
quivering on the bed like a bear, a shark, a dinosaur, before she sweeps to her
feet and goes out for a night on the streets, looking for a bar and a stranger
to meat.
The moon once more reaches it's zenith. He is awoken with a pang of humanity as
his hunger transforms him back into an ape with lust in her eyes.

Paying your employees more makes them better workers.
An extra 2$ per hour might mean they can eat out an extra night, they might be
able to afford a car, and they might be able to focus just a bit more without
crying in their sleep about an unexpected bill.
With less stress, employees perform better. They are more loyal. They work
harder.
Pay your employees more. They are your greatest resource.

remote jobs are less common these days because they're realizing which parts
can be either automated or are extraneous.
the entire capitalist machine runs on like, 50,000% more labor than it needs.
It's not that complicated, it's not very revolutionary, just a lot of
duplicated effort and meaningless communicational transactions.
I'm kind of glad they're getting rid of all the jobs. Maybe it'll free up
people to do something productive, for once, if only we had the capital to
start.

It depends on the size of the file, copying a thousand lines of config file
probably isn't that big of a deal, but copying a million lines in a log file
just to pass it as an argument to... pad it to the left, or whatever, that'll
DEFINITELY slow down your execution speed!
Much better to pass by reference, usually...

cool! my tip is to walk down the aisles and look at at least one book per aisle
- whichever you feel called to, don't question it too much. Then just grab
whichever one you're most interested in learning more about and BOOK IT out of
the store before they can tackle you to the ground while yelling "STOP THIEF"
if you're lucky there'll be an old grandma in the background crying and maybe a
kid saying "mommy why are they tackling that poor person" and the mom will say
"hush now this kind of thing happens, say would you like some icecream?" and
before you know it they're down the street and out of earshot just as the
handcuffs clink into place. Unfortunately you'll forever be banned from that
bookstore and you'll never know what secrets were held within those pages, but
at least you'll have some shiny new bracelets, if only for a time.

low key kinda surprised they haven't made an animated robot friend that
narrates whatever chatGPT says in a back-and-forth conversation.
though I kinda get why, because setting up the context is the expensive part
and generating 100 words and generating 1000 words is basically the same
computationally.
somehow, that doesn't feel very human. Maybe, just maybe, LLMs aren't
intelligent?

It's similar but it's not the saaaaame... Plus it's only one color I think. And
a lot less bright.
Maybe we can find some kind of bacteria that can be genetically engineered to
produce one type of the chemicals, and another that produces the other, so when
they interact it'll produce light indefinitely.
(what about conservation of energy?)
um... maybe make them photosynthesize or something? so you have to charge it in
the sun and then it'll glow all night.
