Probably portable executable. The file format .exe files.

If you do chords it sounds kind of bad and I miss a hihat. Other than that pretty cool! good job.

Criticising Buddhism has it's place but the average westerner is not at a level where it's appropriate to do it. 99% of people need more buddhism, not less.

Isn't it accepted knowledge that all the strains just differ in strength? It's either more or less psilocybin and nothing else in the mushroom would change the type of effect you get. I tried 3 P. Cubensis strains and found no dif

It's great for a command line editor. I don't know why anyone would use it in a desktop environment though.

How do rocks give rise to qualia ?

Better start with something like Ableton. Tons of tutorials on youtube and the interface makes it much more clear what is actually happening. These trackers are built around the limitation of old computers, some people prefer working that w

Impressive.

yeah but if you are really in need for low-poly models I see no reason why you wouldn't use regular 3D software. The interface of this is tiny as it runs on PICO-8.

Basic also has tons of dialects that are still alive and is not just used for office macros. Visual Basic was a big language for desktop applications at one time. Edit: Just looked it up. The last version of Visual Basic came out in 2019 so

Yeah you need the raw stuff that is not heated. There is usually some firm honey in there and not just a fluid substance.

Respect to the developers for their effort. But I would never get into dwarf fortress because to me the idea is kind of insane. I get that it is fascinating to try and model complex real-world behaviour into a video game. But the truth is

I would do this in Notepad++ just by recording a macro. No memorizing commands needed, just basic text editing with the keyboard

Why would you need a dedicated chip for any of that?

Besides fun, is there any real use to coding these ?

It's integrated into the build process. The build fails if there are not enough lines covered by tests.

It's just the natural progression of anything really. Nobody would argue that you shouldn't drive a car because modern machines were used to build it. This kind of art will be inflationary and that's the end of it - the skill

Sometimes you are forced to write a garbage test because there is not much to say about some simple code in terms of tests.

At the company I am working 80% of the code needs to be unit tested or you won't be able to commit. This results in tons of useless unit tests and you learn to restructure classes in a way that makes writing the unit tests later easy i

What is the point of making it "as hard as possible" for people? This not a game release. It doesn't matter if it's cracked tommorow or in a year. On open source no less, it's going to happen sooner rather than late

What country are you living in that has enough money to surveill average joe and kick in his door because he orders some small quantity of drugs? If you want to get dozents of users on the hook for possesion you could just raid a random nig

I've stopped eating breakfast years ago. After a month or so the body adapts and you just stop being hungry in the morning. Most of the stuff people eat for breakfast is unhealthy anyway.

Hard drugs and research chemicals are ordered and sent daily via mail, and the only people getting vists are the vendors. I highly doubt anyone cares enough about john doe ordering some spores to put him on a list or show up at his home. I

I've never done Ayahuasca and I am still leaning more to the side that these beings are NOT created by your mind. These experiences are too structured and follow simmilar spiritual themes. If these substances would simply fire random n

yeah because he made a fuzz about it. Guess how many bugs are reported in and they just tell you it was already submitted and never talk to you again.

I am working on a java game where I threw all OOP knowledge out the window and use C-style pure data-classes with public fields and no methods. It's pretty refreshing to work this way compared to the design pattern madness you see in e

I suspect no such explanation can exist and therefore the hard problem does not exist in the sense of a solvable problem in pyhsics. It's really a question of metaphysics.

I am not impressed with this. This merely answers what practical use consciousness would have under the (unrpoven) assumption that it evolved as a survival mechanism. It does not explain what qualia is or how it comes about (hard problem).
