I'm not even that old and I completely agree with your point. One would think that easy access to beginner friendly programming languages and environments would be a boon to techni…

I don't use a password manager and my email account is by far one of my most secure accounts so I actually love signing in to things like this. It beats having to remember another …

As part of the right routine and exercises, lifting weights can be very pleasant. Personally, I love doing a good set of dumbbell rows. What keeps me (and I think a lot of people) …

This pseudocode is fantastic. It's honestly simpler and easier to follow than English in some places.

Okay, but in all seriousness q [a-z] Some sequence of actions that you might want to automate q Now use the macro with @ and the letter you chose earlier I used vim for longer than…

That proportions in that analogy seem way off. Every single neuron of the human brain could be utilizing quantum mechanical effects at the same time. Not very much at all like a ki…

Quantum computers don't seem very useful yet, but brains are extremely useful (and they use much less power). Maybe current generation quantum computers would be better if they use…

Does anyone know if we understand enough about natural, generally intelligent brains to dismiss the idea that they are using quantum phenomenon for computation? Is it unlikely for …

I would also love a ground fish option, even if it's frozen. Fish burgers can be phenomenal when done right! I usually settle for canned, but the canning process definitely seems t…

Yikes. I know people that behave very much like this naturally.

That's pretty extraordinary. I don't think I've ever heard of someone seeing stuff like that without psychedelics. Have you always been able to see it or was it brought on by somet…

One thing I've noticed always seems to amaze non-programmers as they're taking their first foray into using computers in more advanced ways (programming, scripting, even just using…

Cars are the worst. Side effects include air pollution, cancer, death of nearby pedestrians, municipal neglect of sidewalks, extreme inefficiency of resources resulting from rollin…

That reminds me of this quote from Dick Dale, "I still remember the first night we played it ('Misirlou'). I changed the tempo, and just started cranking on that mother. And ... it…

There is no "we" that could be like that if it's boltzmann brains all the way down. It could very well be mostly unimaginable agony that exists, it's just that the temporary boltzm…

You're completely ignoring the fact that just a couple grams of cocaine can kill a person. It might not be particularly easy to take a lethal overdose of cocaine but consider how e…

Boomer doesn't exclusively mean baby boomer. It's just slang for someone who is old/out of touch. See 30-year-old boomer.

I see the parts list but are there build instructions anywhere?

Tolerance to psychedelic substances ramps up very quickly in the short term, but reverts to baseline in a few days.

I don't really feel anything from store bought cbd edibles/oils either and I'm one of the most substance sensitive people I know. If you're still interested, I recommend buying som…
