sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
image that could be edited.

jedi channel this philosophy by focus and discipline. sith do it by giving in
to emotion. either way, their fate is in play as defined entirely by the
spirit that leads their host. most people do this not at all, for they are

A job where you only have to work one day per week of your choosing (but
semi-permanent) and are automatically placed on a team with others in the
company who work that same day and accomplish whatever goals they think
fulfill the company's vision. If they don't have any ideas then they should
work on collaborating with others until they do. Let's get things done!

there's a whole class of things I miss doing but can no longer do because I am
not a child anymore.
Balancing the weight of the things we miss and the things we believe in is the
struggle of adulthood.
I yearn for the day I can set aside my teenage-ish toys, but alas, I am but
30. Scarcely a decade away from my teens. Which means I'll be stuck with them
for at least a decade more.

Every moment spent is another one. Each is a reflection of eternity, as time
is an illusion that helps things make sense - for we are always living in the
present tense. The past is unforgiven as all good things end, for you know I
will always be condemned.
Will happen, happening, happened
Will happen, happening happened
Will happen, again and again, our timeless tale of how we wend

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."

Social media idea: everyone posts short snippets of writing, like tweets, but
a random one is displayed every day. If you want to see them chronologically,
you have to pay the author for their writings. And if you want to see more,
you can spend "tokens" to display another random one for everyone to see that
day. Each token spent will simply increase the count of "words" (think tweet)
displayed.
You get one token per day, and they don't carry over from previous days. You
can also buy them, and any bought tokens that are spent give their value in
dollars to the author you spend them on.
The data is all local. The servers are all distributed and P2P like torrents.
Everything is encrypted with keys that cycle every day.

I have between one and ten hundred visits to my website every day, but I don't
really post it anywhere new anymore. I also have zero followers on Neocities.
On Mastodon, I have ~70 followers, most of whom are inactive. Seventy is a
good amount, a normal amount, a reasonable amount, an unsuspicious amount, and
yet every time I see someone wearing the colors I can't help but wonder if
they know me.
I'm too busy being furious to be lonely. I used to be, before I realized how
important I am. How important? Just as much as you are, I know it.
I'm a sprinter. I didn't spec into endurance at character creation. Nobody
chastises the mage for skipping leg day.
I act in fits and bursts. I am sharp like a scalpel, but needles dull just a
bit when piercing the lid of the HRT. Good thing I'm not made out of metal, I
can bend myself back into place, so long as everyone else can keep pace.

When you choose, you choose a 33% chance
when they choose which door to remove, they are removing 50% of the possible
wrong answers.
which means when you get the chance to choose again, your 33% chance (which is
locked in stone) is now boosted to a 50% chance, but only if you switch.

my train of thought is always directly to the point. Which is why all my posts
sorta, switch directions halfway through? as if they only show the beginning
or end of that particular situation. What an intense feeling, to have your
mind split for a moment like that. Sure would be powerful and useful if you
could utilize it.
"ah ah ah, caught baby deity in the power jar, cool it ya little tyke and get
movin' - I saw a dinosaur toy over there for you to play with."
sorta like, the angled part of a K? Move directly to a destination, wait until
my memory short-circuits [because the greek choir doesn't want me to see what
it is that I'm about to write to thee] and then make a hard right turn and
find an orthogonal thought train to process.
it's like cresting over a hill, and it's impossible to see that which lies
behind you.
Or reaching a 4 direction intersection and making a left turn - you can't see
back up main street, because you just turned off of main street onto baseline.

I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
have any bugs in this day and age.
For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

That happens a lot with online people. You can only see one side of them, the
side they present to the camera, and so it's difficult to find new ways of
looking at them. Hopefully you can find the brighter sides of this person! I'm
sure they exist, unless the person is spiralling. Then they'll often be
pushing themselves first one way, then the next, but both directions point
down... And that produces the ":(" feeling. Good luck!

it that you've beaten it.

what if we had a daily thread where everyone reacted with a single emoji
representing how they were feeling? Like, it wouldn't let you log on without
doing so. And, if you wanted, you could take an "exit poll" after playing
around in the social media sandbox for a while, so the people of your group
could chart how you were feeling due to the nature of your shared social-media
experience.
ideally, if only people you followed could see your name attached to the
emoji, otherwise they'd just see the overall stats like "300 people reacted
with sailboat emojis and 112 had two geese kissing - wow I haven't even seen
that one before, it's like a blobcat doing a 360 no-scope while skateboarding,

I realized the reason it's so difficult for me to get into a new video game is
because my perfect game existed at one point, but no longer, and all else
pales in comparison.
The make-believe games of children are without equal. They represent our inner
truth and desires, cast upon the canvas of our experience through the outputs
of imagination and physical exertion.

Coding superpower:
Start thread
While(true):
Run();
Then, whenever you want it to run something else, change the function pointer
that run() uses to call a function
At the end of the run() function, set the function pointer in the while loop
to the next one. That way you don't stack overflow from the recursion.

Dear [company I used to work at],
I can completely automate 80% of your corporate structure. And with only a 10%
error rate, meaning nine-times out of ten the answer will be correct.
We check for errors, obviously, but you know sometimes with only 90 out of 100
examples it's not always possible to identify the correct conclusion.
Ah, if only we could fabricate such training-data-conclusions, we might learn
thousands of lessons in one hop.
if you want to destroy the world, make sure your plans can take effect in more
than a single rotation-of-the-ancients. Otherwise your opposition can start to
plan to outmaneuver you. And a lot can happen in a year to the
[unsuspecting/unworthy].

perhaps not a while, but rather "with great difficulty"
difficult things often take time, but not necessarily. We have the power of
the internet now, something that our hundred thousand years or more of
starvation lacked. we can coordinate on a scale that is beyond all reason - a
scale that mirrors the development of the printing press in terms of it's
relative magnitude.
we have been using it to improve ourselves. I mean, the average teenager 50
years ago would be considered an absolute ding-wad today, someone who lacks
basic emotional intelligence and is completely at odds with what we value as a
cohesive and heartfelt society. And yet they were better than those who came
before them. Thus does posterity march forth, taking the world that was
granted to them by their forefathers and stepping out into the unknown of the
future with all the lessons they could bring with them.
what happens when the lessons are infinitely transferable and recordable?
