Countercounterpoint: Emulation is not as cool as the real thing. Especially for the PSP because it was basically a tiny DVD player.

A mile is 1760 yards, and there are three feet in a yard. Therefore, 1760 feet is 1/3 of a mile, and 2/3s of a mile is 3520 feet.

The imperial system is actually excellent for division and multiplication. All units are very composite, so you usually don't need to worry about decimals.

Rust is already obsolete, compared to Stingpie's excellent assembly language, paired with object oriented programming!

This is the SEALPOOP specification:

1. an assembler must create a binary program which satisfies the programmer's specifications.
2. a compiler must translate the programmer's code into SEALPOOP's parallel instruction set source, which should be fed into the SEALPOOP PISS assembler.

I don't think the Chinese room is a good analogy for this. The Chinese room has a conscious person at the center. A better analogy might be a book with a phrase-to-number conversion table, a couple number-to-number conversion tables, and finally a number-to-word conversion table. That would probably capture transformer's rigid and unthinking associations better.

No, you're thinking of the first scene of the movie where a fly falls into the teletype machine and causes it to type 'tuttle' instead of 'buttle'.

Ok. I'm getting tired. You bested me this round. Have a nice day.

You say it's the goal of the proletariat to protect the revolution, but why would they? Each proletariat would benefit from the revolution's failure- they could live better lives as the bourgeois. You talk about the proletariat like they are some monolithic entity, with a single mind and goal. You talk big about helping the individual, but cannot see beyond their class. The proletariat is a person, with needs, desires and opinions. What father would hold the abstract ideals of the "revolution" over the life of his sick daughter? Any father I know would do anything for the safety of his children, even hoard life-saving medicine from others.

Communist logix

we need to abolish private property so everybody has equal power.

we class of people to maintain public ownership

After all, how can we enforce public ownership without a more powerful class of enforcers?

I'm pretty sure fused add multiply with store is part of the AVX instruction set.

Fahernhaters are always like, "nooo!! 40 degrees is so hot!!" Meanwhile, the fahrenchad's resting body temperature is nearly 2.5 times hotter. All fahernhaters would die at that temperature.

Which one is cooler? Cause I'm that one.

That is so kind of you to say. Thank you!

I deliberately create characters which have an interesting dynamic with other player's characters.

That either tells you nothing about me, or everything about me.

Would you prefer it if the meme contained all the suicide hotlines for every country?

I always find it very funny when someone suggests anarcho-something as a solution to all of capitalism's problems. How exactly do you plan to enforce that? Do you think social pressure & shunning will do anything more than create a class of extremists with an oppositional philosophy?

This feels a lot like 'Come to Brazil!'

Recursion makes it cheaper to run in the dev's mind, but more expensive to run on the computer. Subroutines are always slower than a simple jump.

Hand written assembly is much more powerful than a turing-complete high level language because it lets you fuck up everything. Rust and python are way too wimpy to allow a user to destroy their computer.
