You don't have to become a woman unless you want to become a woman. I don't have to work for idiots, and neither do you. I think any form of prejudice hinders your ability to think regardless. They can't see existence the sam

Also, people do use this stuff to think about their computer systems, so I'm a little confused at the author's point of instinct and intuition. Most engineers are trained in analysis of the infinite (calculus), which also includes

Epistomology, psychology, and information theory tend to reflect them in an almost mirror way. Then again, is it just me who sees the patterns in the words, or are the patterns actually there? I think it probably depends on how you mind con

This is the most ironically stupid thing about hacker culture. It's just as 'follow the leader' as directly following the leader, and it makes the culture and the people in it definably predictable. Actually reasoning about s

I think your path selecting algorithm can wind up in a state of deadlock, but it is very clever in a socially passive assertive way. There has to be a way of handling paths crossing simultaneously, non-aggressively, and this can not be reso

I've had severe social anxiety for the bulk of my life. I've gone through periods of replacing it with a fundamentally dissociative awareness. The best I can describe it is being fully submerged in the belief that life is a dream,

That's your definition of intelligence. You could solve problems quickly with a failure rate of 2%, but that 2% error actually kills off, deforms, or ostracizes 10% of your population, and that 10% contains 100% of what you need to sol
