There is such a notion. You write a number on the equality sign saying essentially how many operations can be performed so 1+2 is equal to 3 if that number is larger than 0 (the special case of 0 is reflexivity, i.e. true equality). This is used a lot in some computer science stuff I've seen.

It's all going to be datalisp, mark my word :)

Although you have no idea what I am talking about yet just wait a bit more :))

Step outside your comfort zone. Also start attending these events by alternative crowd, do a yoga teacher training or do retreats in improv or yoga or whatever (this may be too expensive, in that case I recommend psychadelics or hitchhiking as a cheap way to break these walls). The key thing to remember is that when people look at you like you are taking up space and make you feel that you don't belong then you feel bad so DON'T DO THAT. Always strive to be someone who makes others feel like they are welcome and that they belong. That is how you would want to be treated after all.

I once heard a theory that the story of cain and abel is about the agriculturalists killing the nomadic people by taking their lands ("killing their brother") idk how you'd think of the crow part in that interpretation but something to think about.

One thing to keep in mind is that common lisp is actually a super new and exciting language... All the implementations used to be proprietary for a long time (but there's been widespread acknowledgement of the merits of the language from the very beginning).

Now that we've got super awesome FOSS implementations the party has gotten started and immediately there are so many crazy cool things coming out. I think common lisp is basically a better rust for a lot of the things rust is being used for.. Although of course rust is way better for many things also. It's not really an apples-to-apples comparison but the point is that common lisp is quite fast and good for application development (which rust is too but often with more complexity than necessary).

Another thing to remember is this rule of thumb where if you want to make a neutral prior for how long a technology will be around you should basically just look at how long it has already existed. Something exists for a week, probably it will be around for another week. Something exists for a decade, probably it will be around for another decade. Of course this is not a very detailed assessment but SICL and CIEL are respectively efforts at minimizing the bootstrap and modernizing the final product. There will be more of these efforts and eventually lisp will become a totally different language (as we approach the energy minimum for the vocabulary)... Essentially what I am trying to say is that right now; lisp code is the code that I have the most confidence in w.r.t. longevity.

The inca empire was built on this business model. However on the internet you'd need to do a bit of a foundation shift to make it work (which is incidentally what I am working on).

Impro by Keith Johnstone, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, Momo by Michael Ende...

Fret not! we anyway need to find an economic system that makes these methods economical again (or die trying).

I'm not..

Why do you choose to suffer?

trustroots.org is a good way to get started. Not all refugees are from specific country, many of them are just young people who've painted themselves into a corner philosophically.

Bah, why is it my problem that you feel bad?

The thing is; if someone lies to you repeatedly, then why do you trust them?

If you liked the story that got told up to the point it got told then you are the benificiary in the situation. If you got bummed out because it couldn't sustain your orgasm then well boohoo, go take some MDMA or whatever it is you do to keep a 24/7 hardon. The rest of us will enjoy the ups _and downs_ of life.

Wtf why are you downvoted to hell? only person making sense in this thread.

Wow this thread seriously sucks. So much hate.

People! wake up! Reading is awesome? if you get emotionally invested and then never get a satisfying ending (or any ending at all) then you just learned a valuable life lesson. Now get over it and read another book! :)

It's amazing that you can get such strong feelings, as you grow older this may not be the case anymore so don't take your passion for granted.

Ugh.

I don't even know where to begin... so, I like reading, a lot. and I think this is a really stupid comment. I read constantly all sorts of things and 99% of the time they are partial things; some academic paper, some weekly fantasy series that go on forever, books, websites, whatever!

There is not particular harm done if someone can't finish a story by themselves, I have read so many stories (and all of tvtropes) that in my internal world all these different stories come together. You read one story like song of ice and fire and then another one like the first blade and then another one and another one and another one and eventually you see how they play out and what can happen and you learn to enjoy the glimpses rather than getting all huffed up that the author didn't put enough into it.

Seriously awful to be in a society that is so entitled that you can get top comment on the heading "Entitlement issues" with such an entitled comment.

I am building exactly this TUI, the main menu.. It will take me a while longer but I'll post here when it is ready.

I will pitch in here just after reading the title. I have been doing this for years, when corona started I stopped wearing shoes and cutting my hair and the treatment I've gotten is definitely different. I appeal to a very different crowd and get dismissed and shunned by a significant majority. The day before yesterday I got arrested on a train for absolutely nothing (they even refused to tell me what I was being arrested for) and no one stood up for me. Someone told me once that by European law I am allowed to keep my identification documents in a safe place when I am not in my home country, so only citizens of country are obligated to produce identification upon request. Therefore I refused to identify myself to the police and will always do so since there are people who cannot get out of trouble by waving a magic card. I could however not avoid the magic card after they handcuffed me threw me in a car and hit me a couple of times. At the police station the levelheaded old guy basically told me that I could go to jail or identify myself so I showed him my university IDs and Icelandic drivers licenses and suddenly I am free to go with apologies. If I was from Brazil I'd be in jail now, however I am not from Brazil so I can now sue these dudes and make sure they are scared to do stuff like this to people. When we opt out of the bad treatment with our IDs then we are giving up on human rights.

I guess I reconize myself in you, although younger I am precisely at the turning point where walking feels less work than talking.. the talking was definitely not a waste though, it is the privilege of the young to feel passionate about things.

BSD is free software in the FSF sense. It isn't copyleft though.

Don't worry it's coming. The proof of trust that is.

Man, have some sympathy for yourself. The reason you get stuff done now is that you suffered from an inability to put these speeches into practice but eventually you figured it out, sitting with your frustration paid off. Thanks to old you, now you get stuff done. Clearly he had good priorities.

Yeah. Everyone knows better than you what you want. Even the dumb robots.

I just got a grant from nlnet, NGI assure fund.

Like in "the player of games" the third sex was both female and male.

Err, that is an uncharitable reading of GP imo. If you pair males and females (rather than just "humans") then the anology holds quite well no?

Spying, Spamming or Manipulating. That is what you will get paid to do in the vast majority of cases. If you are not first order then you are a second order spy/spammer/manipulator. It's why I did go homeless. Now thankfully I got a grant to work on the next gen internet stuff. This has gone far enough.

You could say the same about computers and world peace. Ultimately it is not about the tools but how we use them. The MK-ULTRA history lesson in the sibling comments is good evidence that this is the case. Sadly the only kind of persuasion that people are interested in is based in violence. I think we should all listen a bit more to Morcheeba.

Yes.

I'm doing a MSc in mathematics. I tried to read that book once and I thought it was terrible. One of the few books I dropped before finishing it and also the reason why I have been reluctant to pick up other Murakami books. With respect to your phenomena of leveling up your mathematical maturity without doing mathematics, that has happened to me a few times and I would say yoga and psychadelics are the primary source of inspiration. Of course you need to do a lot of reading and studying (or if you have courses then you can sit back and have them feed it to you). One thing is making the information known and the other is to understand it, this is where the things that can spark random enlightenments come in.

Yep, blaming your tools is what the incompetent do.
