I am unemployed and poor, I have schizophrenia and ADHD, the Ads from free spotify REALLY are horribly for my mental health, but I still benefit from music to help me enter in flow state.

Hey Spotify, if you're angry with this, instead of a DMCA please give me a free account, all I want is to listen to music uninterruptedly.

In the meantime, please consider donating to my crowd funding to become an Apple Developer (and maybe write a better app than Spotify):

Yes, but why? Why really? Are you Valgrinding the s*t out of the code? What about memory leaks? No template language? Did you use an A.I. Agent? I mean, the code is probably porn for GTK/glib coders, unless it's a horror movie instead. I'm really confused on the motivation there.

awesome

cool

These visualizations appear to so similar to the ones in the movie Hackers 1995. Is there a pool at the rooftop? :)

Good point, are there any biological analogs to tokens?

Humans have inherent biological contingencies that translates into conscious pain, sorrow, eudaemonia, happiness, worry, and so forth which is felt. All biologically contingent beings, especially mammals feel emotions through complex interactions between body parts at any rate, mediated through hormones, neurotransmitters, proteins, various enzymes and organic substances in general. Perhaps A.I. "could" have something not unlike consciousness but it works 100% based on computers which lack biological contingencies.

A.I. does not feel hunger, does not need to evacuate substrates and subproducts of metabolism because it simply does not need to metabolize anything at all.

Failure to remember what makes us human might only leave us ignorant to what makes us human.

The joy of conceiving a child and the sorrow of losing a fellow human who lived a life having to breath, eat, and basically spend every single moment of every single day trying to achieve homeostasis at various levels, having experiences that change behavior purely for survival. That's us, that's humanity.

creepy

Are they at least respecting the licenses (.i.e.: providing a verbatim copy of each license?)

reasonably sound and soundly reasonable :)

wow

My first thought after reading the article: develoepers NEED to learn to use firewalls such as LuLu(https://objective-see.org/products/lulu.html) to get interactive dialogs asking whether any given binary can access any given internet address whether it is a domain address or IP address (which can seem even shadier).

I am an Emacs user but every time I have tried a new editor, including VS Code or VSCodium I blocked access to remote addressed which were prompted to me even though I did not neither authorize extension download nor extension download.

I think it would have been even funny for devs trying out for code challenges while using "interactive" firewalls such as LuLu, then catching the shadiness and blocking access right up.

Another trick that took me years to learn is to use `xargs -I` to split the results into "items"

For example

`ps aux | grep process-name | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs -Ieach kill -9 each`

Addictive

> Or maybe you pipe into xargs and pray your filenames don’t have spaces…

Most of this, if not all, is fixable by adding a `export IFS=$'\n'` to your bashrc. I'm not trying to disregard your project, just point out something that took me years to learn and I currently use extensively to solve this very problem. Perhaps you didn't know about it until now... :)

brilliant

GAME CHANGER

lotza binaries with no actual source code, looks more like a supply-chain attack

SUPER COOL

Thanks for sharing that article.

A great friend of mine once told me the following quote from an unknown author: "Reinvent the wheel, not because we need more wheels but because we need more inventors." That quote has brought my mind and heart to some modicum of tranquility at various occasions when I wanted to learn some concept and resolved to write my own "toy version" of a software library, framework et cetera. Later on, when I learned about Feynman's quote “What I cannot create, I do not understand”, amalgamated the sentiment that it is okay to build something in order to learn one concept. I have thus far learned that in every new journey to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, often led me to paths where my intuitions about the initial concept got stronger and beyond that, I learned several other concepts.

In other words, how much the perception of DNA data in gigabytes grow by in different circumstances? Would it grow by a few more gigabytes ?

I would like to get a reasonably good intuition in regards to the total amount of compound DNA from human bodies at different biochemical states, in different locations around the world (different climates). By "compound DNA" I mean, including DNA of bacterium, fungi and viruses living within one's body. For instance, gut bacteria acquired and maintained based on food intake and environmental influence.

Hahaha Amazing!

Achtung Poolizei!

I have not laughed to genuinely hard in a LONG LONG time, everything about this programming language rocks! (yes I did it)

It's not a software per se, but the way he organizes his notes is the holy grail IMHO.
