+1 for simulation theory

Code contains rules and instructions for computers to follow. The constitution contains rules and instructions for humans to follow. Each human uses a different code interpreter though 😊

I only observed a disappointing 995x improvement. What can I do to attain the remaining 5x?

Just kidding - you rock! I originally signed on with lemm.ee after I read one of your previous optimization posts regarding Cloudflare. You seemed like a gent who was on top of his game ☺️.

What a beautiful picture, thank you! You have a very nice way with words.

Senior year of university I was browsing my school’s intranet page late one evening when I saw an advertisement for a “developer interview day” hosted by a Fortune 25 company.

I thought what the heck and filled out the application. Upon submitting the form, I got an error saying that my GPA did not meet the minimum requirements for the position.

I kept bumping up my GPA until the submission went through.

Ended up working at that company for 5 years!

“This sentence is a lie” sounds false but is actually true. I think?

“What Orwell failed to predict is that we'd buy the cameras ourselves, and that our biggest fear would be that nobody was watching.”

Thank you! This is right up my alley and I will definitely check it out.

Yep! The spreadsheet is just an analogy I used to help unfamiliar people visualize what I was talking about.

The actual rules for Conway's Game of Life are as follows:

1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction

Isn’t any illness on a plane an airborne illness?

I have been more active on Lemmy these last few weeks than I have been the prior 10 years precisely because I feel like I am interacting with humans again.

Thank you for what you’re doing!

My brain tends to be stingy across the board 😊

Those count 😊 , but I guess I was mostly talking about indoor workouts like cycling, jogging on a treadmill, lifting weights. Something that you do purely for fitness sake.

Could you please elaborate what you mean by pre-workout? Like a little workout appetizer before the main workout entrée? 😊 What exactly do you do during your pre-workout?

Makes sense! Thank you.

You rock! Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if both instances are running the same version of Lemmy, why would lemmy.world be affected but not lemm.ee?

I want to genuinely thank you for taking the time to write this comprehensive list.

I have always been interested in psychedelics although I am a little hesitant because even moderate amounts of THC have had profound effects on me. One of the first THC edibles that I tried led to a psychedelic-like spiritual experience (which I know isn’t typical so makes me a little concerned about potentially having some pre-existing mental conditions).

I have always been a goody two shoes with rigid beliefs about the world. Never had done drugs. Drank very little and only during celebrations. The THC experience shattered many of the most rigid constructs in my mind.

I then attempted, with no luck, to recreate that experience for a very long time. This often resulted in me laying alone in bed stuck in thought loops. Precisely why your mention of walks in nature makes a ton of sense, by the way!

I can now see that my post comes off quite naive/arrogant and I will try to be better. But I did want to say that there are gentler ways of correcting others without belittling them.

Also, this proposed feature would still tie the anonymous posts to the underlying "true" user account. It would simply not make that information public outside of the instance owner. I imagine it would be technically possible for a community moderator to issue a ban on the anonymous account (and thus the underlying Lemmy account) without the true username or email being exposed to the moderator? But I understand that I'm making a lot of assumptions here.

You're right, I edited my title to be less clickbaity. Apologies for that!

Requiring a moderator to approve anonymous posts is a great idea!

I’m sorry I did not mean to imply that his has never been done in the history of the internet. I was mostly referring to Reddit and Lemmy, and this is yet another feature that could help Lemmy differentiate itself.
