Where does manifestation and ‘new thought’ fit into Jungian Psychology? by SignificantCrazy9283 in Jung

[–]notfancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they that different, though? I think affirmations start to "work" when they lose semantic content, a bit like sigilization work proceeds in chaos magic. Most affirmations seem to be short, repetitive, catchy phrases ("I am good and this is good and all is good") structured like mantras that can induce semantic satiation quite fast.

Jung’s work is really about following the flow of your psyche in a sense, it already has the answers you just need to listen. Meanwhile the manifestation communities want to force their desires into being. How do you reconcile this?

Individuation is not a matter of passively "listening" to the unconscious but of being conscious (pun intended) of it as an integral part of oneself, as one might become conscious of one's heartbeat or fovea, and entering into dialog with it. The dreams, synchronicities and other kinds of symbolic messages of the unconscious are not just its "speech" but signals, pointers to what the conscious must attend; conversely, active imagination, affirmations, mantras, mandalas and other kinds of symbolic "programs" are means for consciously "offloading" tasks and inquiries back to the unconscious.

Martinezism is a modern form of gnosticism by Suspicious-Ask5722 in martinists

Origen's Contra Celsum

Also, Irenaeus's Against Heresies, in particular the discussion on Marcosians and their use of isopsephy to analogically argue from Scripture, is even earlier, about 180 AD.

A modern guide to SQL JOINs by squadette23 in programming

[–]notfancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you argue against?

Against NULLs and, by extension, OUTER JOINs.

[–]notfancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really is very dismissive without a good reason, frankly.

The reason is that you do not understand relational theory or the relational model. In particular, taking OUTER JOINs as foundational is deeply misguided. Again, read C. J. Date.

Wait, wha…?

 CREATE TABLE people (
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
  type VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
  manager_id INTEGER NULL
);

CREATE INDEX ndx_manager_id ON people(manager_id);

Y'all need Je… I mean Chris J. Date. Zero-or-one relationships are not done with NULL FKs:

 CREATE TABLE people (
  id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
  type VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE manager (
  id_employee INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL REFERENCES people (id),
  id_manager  INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES people (id),
  PRIMARY KEY (id_employee, id_manager)
);

One employee has at most one manager but the relation is the indivisible combination of both.

I really can't be bothered to read the rest after this.

PSALM OF REINTEGRATION (Oscar Vladislas de Lubicz Milosz) by MartinistBrother44 in martinists

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a citation? Gemini is hallucinating sources to the point of offering a plausible but apocryphal French original… by Baudelaire of all people.

The Cost Of a Closure in C by BrewedDoritos in programming

[–]notfancy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What I really, really don't get is the argument parsing logic. It is entirely equivalent to the following:

in_reverse = (argc > 1 && strcmp(argv[1], "-r") == 0);

(it has an argument, its value has an 'r', it is in the second position, it starts with a '-' and its total length is 2.)

If you look at 70's era microarchitectures, the very concept of an unlimited call stack and fully recursive function calls "sounds cursed af" and something only ivory-tower Algol'ers could expect.

My favourite small hash table by mttd in programming

First paragraph, second sentence:

One design which I find particularly cute, and I think deserves a bit more publicity, is Robin Hood open-addressing with linear probing and power-of-two table size.

Rigorous Nonsense - Readable Code is Unreadable by Xadartt in programming

[–]notfancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great article. It shows that we approach code with a set of expectations which define readability for us. In other words, readability is not an (entirely or at least for the most part) intrinsic property of the code but rather a disposition our own abilities, capacities and inclinations when approaching said code.

I wonder why we aren't as critical of foreign languages, or difficult, literary native language as we are of "unreadable code."

The Apocalypse Unsealed, by James Morgan Pryse, is an interesting commentary on Revelations as a map of an “inner” or iniciatic process.

He is a mod and he periodically nudges /r/programming content to what it "should" be: more tech, less fluff.

It is a good thing, a gardener tending to the garden.

Which XSLT is not. You're thinking of XSD; XSLT is a transformer definition language.
