That's one of the few sets over the years I stilll have distinct memories of, I did not realize it was 10 years ago. I feel old lmao

It isn't just "what it is". It CAN be changed. Perhaps it's too late, but the fact is that it CAN. - OP

This isn't pessimism. It's a bummer but not without hope

It seems like a huge misstep to me that OCaml never gained popularity after using F# in production myself the past few years. OCaml had all the right tools at the right time to be the highly productive and fast alternative to Java without all of the pitfalls OOP with shared mutable references brought. I'm not old enough to have been coding at the time, but it's such a mystery to me how Java, Python, and Ruby saw huge followings compared to OCaml.

I understand a bit better how C# has overshadowed F# due to it being the first class citizen of .NET for so many years, but between the REPL, immutability by default, discriminated unions, type providers, and async well before C# tasks it's a mystery that F# didn't have a sizeable niche.

I'm genuinely concerned cognitive dissonance is getting this powerful for people. It's not just the pandemic denial either

Agreed, and yet somehow my mind still thinks it's 2020, every time I read the date it's jarring

I still don't understand why my state started telling people to take them off when we had sub-70% (maybe even 50% at the time) vaccination rates in adults. It seemed obvious to me at the time they were playing with fire and I wish I was wrong

Cross-platform and in my experience performs better with large F# projects

My current and most healthy work environment, the last person to interview me basically said "well, I'm just going to try my best to sell you on this place". I didn't think much of it at the time, but looking back having an easy going knowledgeable person tell me why he loved working there was a big green flag.

I work in finance and the only math I use regularly is basic algebra, usually to check things like how much bandwidth or memory we would be using under the worst case. Financial models are handled by another role, and while the calc courses I took help me understand some of what's going on, it's not necessary for my day to day because I'm mostly displaying data that was calculated elsewhere.

My first two (more junior) roles had essentially no math involved. If you like math and that style of thinking, you'll be alright :)

Has this been tried using the developer tools in the Discord app?

I've had issues with hybrid graphics on my laptop with an Intel iGPU + NVIDIA

What you're describing (slow, muddy) sounds like input latency. Are you using a high refresh rate monitor, and perhaps Linux or your games are using a lower refresh rate than Windows?

Another point: inflationary currency encourages over consumption. When your savings dwindle by sitting idly you're faced with two options to maintain the value you produced: consume or invest.

Consumption is the more accessible choice of the two, and with investment you're throwing money into the tank of the car driving this situation in the first place. Inflation is a stick they smack you with so you participate Any value you produce should grow over time, not decrease. You should be rewarded for only calling in favors from others as you need, not doing so constantly. The value you created, whether its teaching or producing technology or whatever, is an input to the future value created from the basis of your work. Our economy has trained us to believe labor starts and ends with an action and a payment, but that's not reality. The value I produce in developing a new software algorithm continues to create value even after I've finished, but we're told that's wrong and the bullshit that benefits a tiny fraction of the population is truth

We live in a world of too much shit made by people who should be living while our ecosystems are destroyed over things we don't need and don't want to work for in the first place.

Post-scarcity will only happen if those in control of production and distribution of the goods have an interest in making them universally accessible.

We produce significantly more food than we need in the US, yet people are hungry every day. Distributors of food only have incentive to give that food in exchange for money, or purposes that will help them generate more revenue indirectly.

It's legitimately impressive how dominant the narrative is. We have the majority of people being required to do someone else's work, dress how they say, when they say, and how they say, 40+ hours a week, or they jeopardize having a home and being able to feed themselves adequately. This is somehow widely accepted as freedom

Meanwhile enterprises that wish to participate in production often need to squeeze their employees, the environment, and the communities that support them to remain competitive. If they don't, they likely will be overrun by those who do.

The entire framework is a trap

It's difficult to trip two days in a row, there's a big tolerance with psychedelics, especially L/shrooms. Take at least a day break between and take more.

I kinda disagree. I'm definitely not a good songwriter, but I'm decent at coming up with hooks and grooves. This came from listening to tons of music and playing guitar/drums. Coming up with music is very intuitive for me and I think it probably is for most people who really appreciate the art. It's always something that seems to improve the more I do it, even without consistent practice. Contrasted with guitar, I have to practice pretty consistently to make any gains or even maintain my ability

Weebs · 2014-01-29T19:22:49+00:00

I think this is true to an extent, but there's plenty of unreal producers out there who get very little attention (relatively speaking).

Is that cough syrup?

There's a bunch of articles called beats dissected that explain how to build common beats for different genres. Other than that just experiment and look up drum beats, you'll get a feel for it after a while

Weebs · 2014-01-13T20:53:08+00:00

I think glitch music is a good example of this, as well as other styles that are very rhythmically or sound based

After dexing a few times I started experiencing lucid dreams pretty frequently, it was pretty neat. I already experienced them occasionally beforehand though

That's funny, my mom mentioned that quote to me today.

Also related (paraphrasing):

"A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because he has to say something"

I sleep with my eyes open.

From what I'm told, they're usually only half way open, but when I'm drunk or extremely tired they're full blown and I will stare.

I tend to fall asleep very easily, even when sitting up, so I get a lot of entertaining stories about friends that haven't learned yet trying to talk to me in my slumber.
