I personally believe that people just answer the question “do you visualize?” differently. I used to think I had “aphantasia” but like you said, you see it without seeing it. If your eyes and brain are functioning at all, your brain is perf

It is absolutely not bait. Declarative programming for the web is certainly more pleasant, but direct DOM manipulation will always and forever have a performance upper hand over rendering frameworks that sit atop the DOM. Now this performan

SQLite essentially achieves this as well by keeping the entire database in one file. It’s even faster than the filesystem in some cases: https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html

Thank you for informing me. I feel dumb for having chuckled.

That’s a very good point. I feel, however, that the main idea is that bad philosophy is what ultimately fuels complexity. The grug brain philosophy is simplicity at all costs, unless absolutely unavoidable. The big brain philosophy as grug

1. initialize all your variables - you will trip over this one, and it's always nasty 2. I typically throw a _ptr at then end for global pointers 3. use a unity build - create a build.c file and directly #include all .c files, and then

I think for many people, there’s an increasing feeling of dread that comes from using “modern” tools. There’s a heaviness to them that is difficult to put into words. And I think anyone who shares this sentiment feels joy when a tool feels

If we didn’t reinvent the wheel we would all be riding on stone wheels. Do people think we’re going to run out of space or something for these languages? I’ll never understand how a persons personal triumph can be perceived negatively by an

I can't tell if this is sarcasm. I think it's pretty groovy to pay a one time fee for software.

This is quite profound. Consider a sentence. Every additional word has the ability to completely change the meaning of the whole sentence. In the same way, every passing moment is an opportunity to completely change the preceding moments. S

C is an abstract computer as much as any virtual machine. Now this computer is quite simple compared to the abstract machines of Rust and C++ but is doesn’t have much to do with how a computer actually works.

C is forever. It’s the only language where the community aspires to target as early a specification as they can. This keeps C in the hands of the programmers and not the compiler creators.

I had this thought years ago: Real number 1 is 1 OR -1 Imaginary number 1 is 1 AND -1 In other words, when you “break apart” i, you get 1 and -1

That may be true. But if that we’re the case, then a fourth spatial must exist for the entire 3rd dimension to wrap in on itself. And then we find ourselves in the same infinite regression, wondering about the boundaries of the parent dimen

by user8501 3y ago
But it can’t NOT be infinite! If space were three dimensionally finite, then there must be a boundary. But if there were a boundary, then there must be something beyond that boundary. And now we have a paradox that infinitely regresses. Sam

Not OP, but I’ll tell you how my wife and I were able to take a year long sabbatical. I had some stock options for the company I worked for, which had gone public during my employment, and buying and selling it all provided enough to live v

I agree that name calling is always unhelpful, but I’m not seeing any hypocrisy in the comment. It seems to be a comment about how there are a plethora of reasons that the population may be experiencing cognitive issues.

I think a lot about consciousness. It’s a very rewarding activity I must say. Highly recommended.
