When you rely on VS Code to:

Auto-complete your code

Format your documents

You’re letting the IDE think for you instead of building a deep understanding of these fundamental operations.

The deep and fundamental operation of typing out the whole function name every time instead of just the first 2 characters+tab

The deep and fundamental operation of manually formatting minified CSS

I say this as someone who writes HTML in Nano: this is a weird kind of purism that they try to handwave several times throughout the article. That’s all it is.

If you liked that blurp and want more, Exurb1a wrote several (vaguely connected) books on the matter. I cannot tell you anything more without spoiling it.

The Fifth Science, The Prince of Milk, Geometry for Ocelots, Logic Beach: Part I

I wrote a whole message for you and it was there and then it wasn’t. I don’t know what to tell you besides that.

well if you’re gonna delete my responses to the guy who replied to me I’ll delete the contents of this message too fuck you I’ll ruin the whole conversation

I didn’t see a single person for all 24 hours of the 24th of December

The Internet was quiet. The outside was quiet. Best day ever…

People are downvoting this because they don’t want to acknowledge that they live in a selfish shit culture that values and rewards hoarding wealth above all else, the precursor condition to enshittification of services. You might not personally, downvoting person, but don’t be blind to the world around you. It will only get worse until you acknowledge it.

These people pretend they can’t hear all the motors but then complain that the city is loud!

No it isn’t; cars are loud! Move yours out of my city! I’m trying to live in peace, here!

brrrrrrbrrrrrrrrrrbrrrrrrrpoppoprrrpopr every morning every evening every night

Buddy are we gonna do this every 6 months? We know you’re a crypto-grifting 4channer.

Reddit account created 3 days ago for the explicit purpose of posting this. All it’s replies are extremely affirmative and friendly, and one even admits that they are AI but for purposes of translation.

Dead internet theory; it’s engagement bait.

You have to grow spikes and make it painful for bots to crawl your site. It sucks, and it costs a lot of extra bandwidth for a few months, but eventually they all blacklist your site and leave you alone.

Because pretending to be anything else in a system where all power structures have the same incentives to oppress and abuse the lowest rung is giving in to that power structure. You can vote the greatest person into power and they’ll still be ineffective and their term will be over before they can move the needle.

Everywhere I’ve been in life, there has been an asshole above me who made it their mission to make me miserable, either through negligence, malice or apathy.

I want to be a socialist, but I can’t, so anarchist it is.

You are right in that it is simple, but it is simple in the worst way; you can’t just shed heat in space. You have to convert it and radiate it away, which takes infrastructure and power. If the ISS had the compute capacity of a datacenter, the required radiators would engulf the station.

Also, datacenters are manned. Things break. In space, you need to either leave the earth’s protective magnetosphere or do constant station-keeping because you’re close to the atmosphere. If you leave the magnetosphere, you have to shield all of your electronics which adds a lot of weight and you can forget using the latest CPUs because they can’t handle the high energy particle bombardment, even with shielding.

It’s all VRAM, that’s the bottleneck for even the best GPUs. AMD support is spotty so you should stay in Nvidia’s claws unless you know what you’re doing. Figure out what kind of money you’re willing to part with, and then get whatever Nvidia GPU gets you the most VRAM.

Bicycle mask

Conceals your face on CCTV and if the police pull you over you have an excuse for wearing it; it’s a bike mask.

I think most cognitive therapy is fundamentally about separation of thought and action, which I suppose might naturally lead to feeling like your brain (thoughts) are a separate entity, because you have to detach from them.

I have OCD; If I were my thoughts, I’d be a terrible person.

Yeah, I’m sorry; SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is GOTY

thank god there aren’t any games worth getting on UE5

The capitalists are also fascists so don’t worry about it
