And dying and depleting rivers are very fucking much physical. I may not see it, my son might not see it, but unless we start thinking as humans and act accordingly, wars for water will come

NeoVim. Once I looked at vim as an IDE, I won't look back

What, line suddenly stopped going up?

Nah. Anything that says "yes, kernel-level anticheats will work here" - I will be out. To the point of LFS and offline games only, if need be

We really need more people like you. That's exactly what annoyed me so very much, but I could not articulate this thought. Thank you for doing so :)

A must-be joke: vim

And seriously, Sublime

I second your message in many ways. First off, I am not a user... well, count alcohol in, on special occasions like a birthday, but even a thought of drinking two glasses of wine more frequently than once in a month or two reminds me I am not going to feel well. Anyway, main reason is I know full well that if I am not able to deal with my life as is, no substance is going to help, and as for discovering how fun life can be - there are other methods, far less destructive

Now about how substances are used by other people: drink/smoke to make it through painful day(s) - I get how it works, but in the end again, not a solution. Same goes for situations where drugs are prescribed as painkillers - I can trust that physical pain can be that acute and exhausting

And actual regular drug usage - now this is a sure sign something in life of that person has gone completely off-track, and giving them more suffering (social stigma and criminal charges) won't help. We need to look at individual, we need a different kind of society where no one gets so desperate as to use chemicals in order to have some break from the suffering that their life has become, and we sure as hell don't need this batshit insane "you are going to jail for even buying some small amount of weed" idiocy

Oh yeah, my second foremost wtf with modern society: let's build everything around what idiots are gonna do, with even fucking courts seing no problem with forcing companies to pay money to dumbasses (who do things like using electric stoves as cutting boards). Guess I will long be dead by the time this shit gets reversed

Given we have millions who actively voted for this shit and millions more who didn't bother to vote against this shit, nothing surprising (that's even without counting in the fact those millions are not directly voting for heads of departments etc)

What I find hilarious is that around half a year before I used to see the sentiment that "no such thing as good Russians, see what they are allowing to happen". Well, kudos for those they-are-so-evil-we-are-not people (sarcasm, of course), how are you doing against a delusional tyrant put in place of power by rich fucking idiots? (question is rhetorical, my piece is done)

No, it's recognising that terminal has its own rules and the learned Ctrl+C for copy has no sense... Okay, C-Copy. Some sense. Now, Ctrl+V for... vaste? :)

All while having an Insert fucking button.

In the end, me personally does not care as long as Ctrl+C continues to be the process-killer

Lol. Good luck, mister exponential science

No, since the dataset is bound to give nonsensical results, we search for sources that are more precise. Hint: "Andrea" already mentioned and Japanese names

Oh yes it should. We have spent thousands of years looking at these things, and look where we are

I had a number of points to discuss, but they pale before this:

Software will eventually be able to understand human language

First, someone surely must have tried to code it, but I never heard of any system like that. Second and more important: anyone understands how we understand? And how the distance between understanding and communicating is covered? Someone? Anyone?

And before some smart person tries for the thousand's time this "but computers will get bettah" shit of argument: even with the whole task of putting it to code aside, we know shit about how we think, understand and speak, that's coming from me having Master's degree in linguistics

Or maybe I just think that Rust has crappy design, just like JavaScript. The suid question is of a different kind: capabilities is better because they are an expression of least-required-permission principle, and going this way can't be argued as a skill issue

And I am eternally grateful for that. Why, yes, if I am playing with something I don't understand - what was the last time a fire gently asked anyone "Do you really want to get a burn?"

Yeah, and all the cure-framing is fucked, but they failed to show this. They are mutants, so changing them into ordinary humans means at least re-writing all the cells in the body, which is way more drastic a change than what we now know as gender transition. This kind of changes is not a fucking cure, it is mutation of different kind, in the terminology of this universe

Damn. I hate how it hurts to know that's what will happen

So now we can finally go back to good old code optimization, right? Right? (Padme.jpg)

Mm, nah. First, few remarks to set context:

-the law is crap, no question about that

-whole morality concept is also crap as fuck, but let's say this crap did allow for some people to live longer and/or healthier

And now for the neat part or why I won't become a doctor unless forced by some apocalyptic shit: say, you know for sure the patient has caused and/or will cause immense harm and suffering to others (think killers and rapists, for example). Unless you are inhuman, you will doubt whether to help them and thus cause more suffering to other people or let this one die and prevent that, and there is nothing shitty about that.
