Used to love this website. Now it's filled with retarded AI slop articles and comments, upvoted by bots and retarded humans.

It was nice while it lasted, but moderators won't give a shit about this until it's completely dead, and only used by bots.

And other random stuff. All in Japanese, unfortunately.

Karuma··on The downside of being happy: creativity kindled by sadness
For me it's about creating something so beautiful and unrepeatable that no other human being could have ever created.

It's not about solving problems or finding more elegant solutions... It's about creating something almost from nowhere, as if it were magic.

And it has to be unrepeatable. Beethoven himself wouldn't be able to create the same piece twice. It's just that one-time miracle in a moment of inspiration that you'll always look back in awe...

Karuma··on The downside of being happy: creativity kindled by sadness
Indeed, you are correct.

I knew it wasn't a very popular opinion, so I didn't want to invest a lot of time trying to make it sound nicer. I'm terribly uncivil by nature, unfortunately.

I'm really sorry, but I appreciate that at least one person was able to take something from it and share his empathy with me! (Thanks, reddytowns!)

Karuma··on The downside of being happy: creativity kindled by sadness
Funny how every comment here is "I'm more creative when I'm happy!!!!!11", and their creative output is probably just some phone app or a poorly written poem that only your partner liked.

The article is talking about deep creativity. Things that changed the world forever, that are still loved hundreds of years later.

No one will remember your two creative lines of code within a couple of months. Stop comparing yourself with real creative geniuses.

Karuma··on Harassment of Our Authors Is Not OK
I agree.

Then the problem is not "old men talk to an underage girl", but "men I find unattractive are giving me unsolicited attention", which happens pretty much all the time everywhere, regardless of the gender or age...

She will be surprised to find out that when she turns 18, she'll still receive those messages and they will be as disgusting as they are now.

Karuma··on Harassment of Our Authors Is Not OK
"I keep my social media clean and I never had direct messages from old men attempting to talk to an underage girl."

Next time you guys start messaging encouraging comments to someone on the Internet, make sure you wait until they celebrate their 18th birthday (or whatever their country laws say). No one wants to talk to "old men" before that day.

I am beyond angry and disgusted that this has happened.

Karuma··on Sourceforge Hijacks the Nmap Sourceforge Account
You probably missed this part at the end:

PPS: Sourceforge now claims they will stop trojaning software without the developer's permission, but they've broken that exact promise before.
