I saw this video:

and I was like "yeah that sounds pretty neat" so I started doing it by hand
lmaoooo but learning their system could be probably better. Reduced duplication
of effort. Though TBH the biggest effort for me is learning someone else's
tools, not writing them. So....

automation builds resiliency. "you in 2 years" or "your partner in 5" will have
a lot easier time running a script called "update" and fixing the 2 errors than
redoing it from scratch and working through 5 or 6 errors.

the reason Discord won't allow you to join their communities via 3rd party
clients like TUI's and CLI's is because they're worried games will just bake a
client into the game and hide all the community stuff. They're worried because
there's no reason why a fighting game needs to have a button for viewing a
puzzle game's community.

Growing up, I started with 3 video games - Super Mario Deluxe, Dragon Warrior
1&2, and Asteroids. For the gameboy color. Then, a year or two later (what
felt like forever), Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.
Classics. I was so lucky. Not because it was more expensive than my peers, but
because I had the right games.
Others joined later, Tetris, Mario Kart, Star Fox, etc... But having so few
that were so good for so long made me adore them. I would play for about an
hour a day, any more would cut into my imaginative play-time.
I did not dream of games. But I craved their moments.
These days, I play games for so long that I dream of them. In my most
vulnerable moments I treat them like my baseline state, rather than a
prescribed appointment of delight.
I miss wandering around without thinking of my objective. The games seemed to
change, rather than progress. They felt alive to me. I never beat them, because
I didn't need to.
I'll raise my kids the same way, if I ever having any...

This Reddit thread is wild to me. Like... Why did the designers of Androids and
iPhone just... stop designing ways to safely and easily transfer files? Why the
heck doesn't every android have a built-in SSH server that automatically and
permanently pairs to your PC using an automatically managed private key the
first time you plug it in? The user doesn't care about security, they just want
to click on a picture, click the "view on PC" button, and then open up their
downloads folder. (paraphrasing the comments) - so why don't we make that
happen. What happened to tech, that we stopped working as soon as the consumer
decided they wouldn't pay for it? (it being a file transfer service)
It's like healthcare. You don't stop treating someone when they're healthy, you
ask them how they'd like to feel and you make it happen. (hormones).

I am currently in the stages of applying to work at a multinational corporation
primarily located outside of America. It is a respectable institution that
commands great respect.
However, I am borderline incapable. If I am chosen to work there, I
will fail and I will embarrass America on the world stage. I
am not one of our best, nor am I one of our brightest and boldest. I have
unique perspectives, and those are valuable, but the society
and the systems I find myself in has proven incapable of utilizing me to my
utmost potential.
I must work. I cannot work. But I must. I am disabled. But I must be able.
Capitalism compels it.
Would that our system could be something consensual. I am worth more as a
writer than a laborer. Yet laborers are the only ones being hired.
I am not an engineer. I enjoy engineering.
I am not a laborer. I enjoy labor.
I am a writer, and perhaps little else besides.
When I die, nothing remains of me but my bones. My words are not desired. My
life is not impactful. I am not special.
Well... Not special since I have given up cannabis. If I started smoking weed,
if I felt secure and enough to do so, perhaps I might utilize my instability
for great (GREAT) artistic ends.
But art is labor. And labor is difficult.
Where am I to go from here? I cannot pay rent. I am isolated and alone. I am
deprived of affection. I crave it. I am lost in my own heart, begging the world
to give me a start, but the start has passed long ago. There is nothing to do
but what I've been meant to do, what I've been hiding from myself and the
world. I have been wasting my talent on tweets. How mundane.

games for example)
the touch-screen uses one of the analog sticks, and it's... not BAD, but it's
not the best.
However, for games like Final Fantasy 3 it's great!!

That's what the GPU is for!
Too bad programming GPUs is unnecessarily arcane.
I've recently been into this programming language called "Chapel" because it
abstracts away most of the complexity surrounding multiprocessor code (unless
you want to go deeper and more specific, in which case it allows you to do so)
https://chapel-lang.org/blog/posts/intro-to-gpus/
Also distributed computing, which is totes the future, just sayin'

when I think of crowd sizes, I don't think "we're winning! hooray!" I think
"okay so what are they up to, where are those people, what caused them to
disappear, are they busy or are they dead" because questions like that provide
strategic value, while statements like "we're winning! hooray!" improve morale.
I'm not in charge of morale. I'm not in charge of anything, but mostly because
I'm too public for that kind of thing. Morale is important, it's perhaps the
MOST important thing. But strategy is also important, and must not be
forgotten. Honestly though, I do believe we're winning, and I think it will
crush the spirits of quite a few people. How sad... But war involves a lot of
crushing, whether it be fought with blades, bullets, or words of madness like
mine.

what if instead of sending "cease and desist" notices, corporations sent "hey
you need to transition to publicly owned assets" notices?
if progress is slow, they can pour funding into the project. If they're
intentionally going slow and not meeting their reasonable deadlines, then they
can be sued, and that's a whole process during which the "cease and desist"-ed
project can't legally be used by anyone.
the deadlines are set based on the scope of the project and the capabilities of
the team, capabilities which may be augmented by the infusion of dosh by the
parent company.
At the end, the product must be completely publicly owned, as in
free-and-open-source, so that they cannot be allowed to compete with the parent
company - instead, they may be used by the parent company, without requiring an
open source license going forward for their version.
Once the project is feature-complete and utilizes 100% non IP assets and
software, the relationship ends and the sky is the limit for modders.

This month, I was diagnosed with Schizotypal disorder. I had a single hour to
talk to a psychiatrist (thank you, insurance) and he explicitly told me that my
diagnosis was preliminary.
Schizotypal is a type of neurodivergence similar to autism but with elements of
schizophrenia (paranoia, delusional and / or magical thinking) and my
presentation includes ADHD symptoms such as difficulty focusing. When medicated,
I have difficulty concentrating, however the paranoia and delusional thinking is
suppressed. The treatment plan is ongoing and developing.
These issues have been present for the entire time I've been at WGU, and before.
However, I am seeking treatment now because I had begun to have difficulty
maintaining a job and keeping a home.
Currently, my medication is working. However the greatest issue facing me right
now is financial problems - I couldn't maintain a job while unmedicated, and
frankly while medicated I am still having difficulty for different reasons.
However the intent is to refine the medication choices to find a solution that
works for me. However, employment is still a concern, and so I have requested
and been approved for a term break of at least 2 months with the option to
extend. During this term break I intend to resolve the financial issue however
I can. Ideally in such a way that will allow me to apply myself toward school
work.
This degree is important to me. Without it, I won't be able to find employment
in the tech industry aside from technician roles. My previous experience with
them has given me experience, and I learned quite a bit... Until I ran out of
things to learn. I do not believe I could handle that type of work long-term for
various reasons. In the short term, I may attempt it but I am convinced that I
will burn out quickly.
I currently feel as if I am disabled. I don't know if it's true, perhaps I'm
just going through a rough patch. But once my savings hit zero, I'm out on the
streets, and I won't live long like that.
When thinking about whether or not I'll be able to complete my degree, I
honestly cannot give you an answer. I've been in higher education for over a
decade, surely I should have finished by now. But I cannot get over various
hurdles it seems, and frankly I have no idea why. It's... Maddening, to see
yourself, so full of potential, yet chained to the form and circumstances you
are given. I wonder what choices might I have made differently to avoid my fate,
if it truly is my fate to fail in this way, but I have no answers.
I am intelligent, of this I am certain. I know more about computers than anybody
I know, and I would love to apply myself toward them. But I lack a degree, so I
cannot be seen by recruiters and hiring managers. I try to work on my degree,
but I find the words on the page grow dense like the forest between the trees,
and I cannot see a way through to reach new understandings. Why do I keep
learning these things? I already know what a callback function is, what
interfaces are used for, how to implement safe multithreading in a parallel
environment, I know how networking protocols interact with hardware and how the
airflow through a case affects the thermals of a computer's internals. I've
grown crystallized in my knowledge, it seems, due to the endless pursuit of
these foundations. I think I would excel in the higher-level courses, but... I
can't get there. I crave the insights that might be learned in a master's
degree, but my brain is not wired for homework. I'm not built to cram for tests,
to learn someone's else's tools and frameworks. I don't know what I could be
doing better, it feels like I'm so alone. I guess it's my own fault for picking
an online school, but WGU is the best of the online schools, and I needed online
because I move around a lot. Well... I used to. My boyfriend moved around a lot,
but now he's my ex-boyfriend. Oh well.
... Anyway you can probably see why I have difficulty with school. It's
difficult for me to stay on track. I can start working on my project 5 or 6
times in a day and make marginal at best progress, and each time it hurts more
and more to return. I don't have an answer, but I don't know what to do if not
to pursue my degree. I feel as if I'm on the brink of despair in my life, and if
you read these appeals often, I imagine you hear that a lot.
I will apply myself more to my coursework. Once I find a job, I will give
everything to my school, even as it breaks me. I am... intense, and I feel
strongly that I must get this degree. Between it and me, there is quicksand, but
I must get through.
Thank you for your consideration. I understand however you decide. If I can knab
a decent job, I might be able to pay for my degree myself, given a couple months
to save up for it. But I highly doubt I could find such a thing in this economy
and this life I do lead.
Please consider me, I will accept any aid that is offered.
Cameron

A child's schooling should consist of the bare-minimum amount of mental labor
necessary to teach them the fundamentals of arithmetic, reading, and writing.
They must be given opportunities to apply themselves toward educational goals
beyond such things, including social proficiency, and physical dexterity and
strength, and specialization in a particular academic subject.
Kids need freedom. They need community, not "social time" that does not consist
of anything more than living in the same rooms at school as the other kids.
They need to be able to visit each other whenever they want.
I personally believe that lectures taught in an interesting and engaging way
are significantly more effective at instilling a drive to learn than rigorous
drilling of detailed information. A kid will not learn a sufficient amount of
information in school to be useful in a particular topic unless they seek out
the knowledge on their own. Universities attempt to "fake" this effect by
getting them to research.

If you have a thousand options in your case / switch statement, you should
probably refactor.
consider putting function pointers (to the things you would have switched to)
in an array and instead of checking "if this enum, then this, if that enum,
then that" etc send an index into the function pointer array. That way there's
no branching at all.
The best way to generate performant code is to reduce or eliminate branches. If
you're working on a video game or networked program, this can be incredibly
important.
The second best way is probably reducing cache misses and increasing
parallelism, but those are different problems.

I don't want power, I want control, over my own life at least, and at
most whatever I am suited to designing.
And in order to prevent control from becoming power, it must not only be
decentralized and distributed amongst all who are impacted by it, said control
must also be paired with a burden of responsibility.
There must be no malice in judgement, no fear in foresight, no hatred in
organizing. This is the responsibility of those who would hold unnatural power
over others - the kind that are bourne on the contracts and procedures of
institution.
If the powerful do not seek to relinquish it, then perhaps they do no deserve
it. And yet a nation of Cincinnatuses would surely fall to weakness, as the
strength that they covet is replaced by whoever they can get to fill the role.
Not ideal.
Instead, a human should revel in their strength. The will to power is
the will to passion, and passion is intrinsically human.
However, power corrupts, and all humans should seek to avoid corruption, or at
least to keep it at bay. To do so, a person must consider their impulses and
listen to the words of the unspoken for. Only then may they overcome the perils
of control without reason.

those are the kind of people who probably shouldn't take up that much space in
your thoughts
like... they're hypocrites. yeah-sure-fine-whatever. Maybe their opinion could
be changed if they were in different social circumstances, but, they're not,
so... fuck 'em until they are, yeah?
so many people don't think for themselves. That's okay, they don't have to
think if they don't want to. I guess. But they also can hurt people, so... fuck
'em, until they are given the chance to consider, and they choose to consider.
It's very difficult to maintain hatred when presented with the possibility of
consideration. But those kind of people typically never have that opportunity.
So... like I said, fuck 'em. Don't give them power, don't let them hurt people,
but they can fuck right off with their hatred and vitriol (vitriol not unlike
this kind that I'm writing right now)

There are strategic goals and top down goals.
Strategy is the domain of the execs. They must be as general as possible and
justify their existence. They are the glue, the connectors, the people who know
who to talk to in order to get things done.
Tactics are the realm of the workers. They must be capable, dependable, honest
and fair. They must diligently realize the goals of the strategic plan using
whatever means they deem fit to address the tactical situation at hand. The
more freedom they have, the more effective they are.
These two forces are pitted in contest under capitalism. Under socialism, they
are orthogonal to one another. Not a pyramid, but a cylinder on its side,
growing from its base on one end to its zenith at the other.
They are allies. They are similar, but distinct. Their roles may overlap at
times, or perhaps not if they should not desire it. A person should be able to
work wherever they like. They are the best judges of their capabilities.
There are only so many resources, and if we vote on their distribution we'll
give enough for everyone to share. And then we'll run out. Unless, of course,
we demand sustainablity. Long-term, and ignoring profit but rather
seeking to build capability. That is the only way to [ramp/snowball/scale].

Your mind likes to think.
Why is it gross to think of your colon enjoying to poop? Does it prefer beans,
because they keep things moving?
Why is it gross to think of your under-arms sweating? Does it prefer not to
smell, or does it wish there were people that liked it without deodorant?
Do your toes think of other people as you walk toward them? Do your fingers

Your mouth likes to eat
Your belly likes to fill
Your muscles enjoy exercise (and stretches!)
Your mind likes to think.
Why is it gross to think of your colon enjoying to poop? Does it prefer beans,
because they keep things moving?
Why is it gross to think of your under-arms sweating? Does it prefer not to
smell, or does it wish there were people that liked it without deodorant?
Do your toes think of other people as you walk toward them? Do your fingers
feel the face of your lover as you pull them close? Or is that for the brain,
the thoughts processing of all things mundane, the stuff which feels somehow
more "you" than the rest of you.
How absurd. You are you. You enjoy icecream, you enjoy the beach. You enjoy the
stars, and you enjoy the laughter around you. There is nothing that separates
you from you, for you are your only champion.

The media tells you to resist your parents, not their unjustified demands.
The media tells you to resist your government and culture, not its homogenaeity
and oppression.
The media tells you what it needs to in order to confuse you and hinder your
movements, for the media is an arm of capital and capital wants you working
below your best.
The best thing you could be doing is fighting capitalism. All things of peril
stem from it, and we can work on the bad and the unworthy and the lazy and
selfish and unkind and all of the others after capital is slain.

@user-246
after all, according to their own capitalist theory, money is just an
abstraction of data on the desires of their market. and surely, as capitalism
"trends towards efficiency" (yeah right) the data corresponding to "what is
most efficient" is just as useful as the money that actually describes the
"flow" of goods and services through the made-up economy
so surely we could abolish currency and simply utilize an interest based
economy based on what we're naturally drawn to as humans, right? Oh wait WALL-E
has a society like that, and it wasn't great for us. Apparently there must be a
structural coercion toward productivity, right?
... I'm afraid of people sitting around watching tiktok brainrot and youtube

never stop learning
be yourself, but... recognize when "yourself" could be improved
and improve that, over time, when you learn about why you are flawed, and how
to become better
and when you are improved, relish yourself, savor your accomplishments, cherish
your heart, and honor those who helped you
be yourself
never stop
but do that which improves you
never stop learning
never stop being
you can get there, wherever there is, but know that what lies between is more
important than what is on the other side.

Internationalize amazon and walmart and you'll have fixed most of the problems
of globalism.
But you can't fix anything if you don't have power...
It's important to focus on how to get power. Keep in mind "what to do when you
have power" but don't let it dominate your thoughts. Focus on claiming your
right to determination.
Steps to revolution:
1. Invert power structures with unions
2. Care for people with mutual aid
3. Vote for the Democrat so we have a few more years of peace
4. Teach people to always be learning
5. Connect to people on a personal or spiritual level
6. Make the world a better place, whether that's by sweeping a street corner or
helping people smile, it doesn't really matter how. What matters is the
intention.
7. Improve your self and your life. Do pushups, eat better, drink more water,
spend time writing (writing is thinking), and take time to sit and stare at the
flowers.
8. Kill the part of yourself that cringes. Everyone's figuring things out and
its okay to say "haha okay then"
9. Spend time with animals.
10. Make mistakes. Apologize for them. Learn from them. Stay mobile in your
character. Develop new ways of being.
11. React with vigor when the time comes. This vigor will only be violent if it
is caused by violence. Much more likely is a strength through organization. We
can do it if we do it together!
12. Show up every day, but don't hang around if everyone's resting at home.
It's okay to stop showing up if things are on pause.
13. Trust that your allies are working. Or resting. Or preparing.
14. Plans change, planning remains.
15. Dream of a better future. It is within reach.

today I had someone ask me for an apology. They've asked several times before,
and each time I've only been able to give them a half-apology - I apologized
for being persistent, but not for being impulsive, and that wasn't good enough.
I can't help being impulsive! I'm adventurous! I crave excitement and joy!
But I'm sorry that I pushed him too hard. I'm sorry I hurt him. And...
apparently that's not good enough. He doesn't want me in his life, he can't
fucking let it go. And he calls me selfish. Says I don't respect him, based on
one night out of 5 years where I tried too hard to get him to enjoy life.
I'm sorry I can't fix your depression, guy, but like, at least I tried. You
could have at least tried the things I suggested. You could have at least tried
to follow my advice.
whatever.
it was literally just a walk in the park
... anyway I am often wrong. I often correct my past self. I always apologize
for hurting people, but I never apologize for doing what I believe is right.

people? oh yeah I know "people". they're all a bunch of bastards.
good, bastards are the best fighters
not if your fight relies on fighting for something you believe in. There's a
zero percent chance that you'll get everyone to believe the same thing because
people naturally gravitate toward filling the idea space equally and finding
niches to fit themselves into
ha true - thinking of successful revolutions of the past, they've always been
caused by material conditions creating insufficiencies that must be resolved
through violence. and then, the people fighting can all agree on something like
"we must have bread" or... actually that's pretty much the main thing people
need
and yeah, sure, wealth inequality is unjust, but they're careful to only take
enough to ensure that we're sufficiently placated.
but they're always taking more, and someday soon they'll take too much.
... I hope, for my sake, that I'm not around when that happens. But I'm not too

have no fear, people who are annoyed will block you and you'll never know, and
people who like you just haven't seen you yet.
that's how mastodon works. gotta keep posting until you find your people.
comment on things, boost things, and read through people's profile pages.
that's how it works!
this is the place to be annoying, because "annoying" is really just "weird" and
"weird" is for here.
It takes time, but eventually you'll find someone or three who get you and
they'll boost your stuff to all their friends who get you and then you'll feel
less annoying. That's how it works! You can help by boosting things.

Internationalize amazon and walmart and you'll have fixed most of the problems
of globalism.
But you can't fix anything if you don't have power...
It's important to focus on how to get power. Keep in mind "what to do when you
have power" but don't let it dominate your thoughts. Focus on claiming your
right to determination.

Steps to revolution:Invert power structures with unions Care for people with
mutual aid Vote for the Democrat so we have a few more years of peace Teach
people to always be learningConnect to people on a personal or spiritual level
Make the world a better place, whether that's by sweeping a street corner or
helping people smile, it doesn't really matter how. What matters is the
intention.Improve your self and your life. Do pushups, eat better, drink more
water, spend time writing (writing is thinking), and take time to sit and stare
at the flowers.Kill the part of yourself that cringes. Everyone's figuring
things out and its okay to say "haha okay then"Spend time with animals.Make
mistakes. Apologize for them. Learn from them. Stay mobile in your character.
Develop new ways of being.

React with vigor when the time comes. This vigor will only be violent if it is
caused by violence. Much more likely is a strength through organization. We can
do it if we do it together!Show up every day, but don't hang around if
everyone's resting at home. It's okay to stop showing up if things are on
pause.Trust that your allies are working. Or resting. Or preparing.Plans
change, planning remains.Dream of a better future. It is within reach.
