    I dunno, I agree. It sounds conspiratorial. But who knows, maybe even 17 year old accounts are being hijacked by AI now too.

    In the puzzle game series The Talos Principle, intelligent robots (who were made to outlive humanity after a species-ending global pandemic) seem to have the exact same kind of aff…

    I'm not negative on it exactly, but the idea of not being revived doesn't really bug me. If that had happened, then it's whatever, I guess? But I agree with your sentiment about us…

    As someone who once came extremely close to death and was unconscious for days after eventually receiving medical care, my take on death is that it's probably similar to what you'r…

    The latter is basically how it goes with Counter-Strike 2 which doesn't have kernel level anti-cheat. Well, maybe not "everyone" is cheating, but there's very little punishment to …

    I can't say I've experienced psychosis due to stimulant use personally, but I see what you mean. For me it's maybe brought on instances of hypomania a few times, but I get how it c…

    I used to on and off in the past, but I found it made me more prone to mania, so I've since stopped. Why do you ask?

    I can't speak for the above person, but what the OP of this comment thread said also tracks with my own experience of schizoaffective disorder: when I'm psychotic, the pattern matc…

    The continual lack of police action wasn’t super surprising, but as someone who lives in SF, it does bum me out. The supposed inability to enter based on reasonable suspicion or ma…

    Would the G force required to get there be tolerable?

    Sam Ruby puts relevant icons in each post on his blog. I find it a nice break from text, and it serves as a convenient summary of the topic of the post.

    I started off with MacPorts' Emacs 22.3 package and just used it on the command line. Eventually I moved to a portfile that tracked Emacs CVS, and finally settled on Aquamacs. I've…

    Terminal.app isn't so bad once you install TerminalColours and MouseTerm. xterm can be difficult to configure, it doesn't do tabs, and copying and pasting follow X11 rules in it. I…

    Up should work. If you want it to persist across sessions you'll have to enable readline history. You might find my pythonrc useful: [link redacted] - be sure to run export PYTHONS…

    The PyPy folks are working on a JIT, apparently with great speedups. They've been detailing their work on their blog: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/ Also, are JavaScript and Python …

    Python 2.6 and 3.0 ship with a new library called multiprocessing which provides mechanisms for process control and intercommunication, which conveniently sidesteps the GIL limitat…

    Comment #385636

    Python 3.0 includes a script that tries to automatically convert 2.6 code to 3.0 code, named 2to3. It's also incorporated into the package setup library, so in theory simply instal…

    I think you might be confused as to what Python's lambdas are for. The name is very misleading - it really should be called a function expression. It's just a shortcut for declarin…
