i can't quite maintain my favorite hyper-vigilant hacker-dev mental posture while switching between i/o devs

oh commonlisp. you came and you gave without taking.

what a beautifully-written lambda. i'm not finished reading source but i can't think of a reason i wouldn't prefer to use nyxt over every other browser when i'm in x11.

join mastodon !!!

distortion is for pretending i meant to clip my recordings at a frequency i didn't notice on studio monitors.

let's talk about bitcrunching! now that's fun. and definitely not the other way i cover up poor recording!

What do you think the new web is going to be? Sincere. Not sure what you're talking about at all and would like to.

I really thought Firefox did all of this already too. I have no justification for not having truly checked. Hopefully other browsers from Safari will not be far behind.

I hope that there might be a way to safely auto-sync my Firefox profile, bookmarks and history especially, to Safari iff it's really the more secure of the available browsers for iOS.

I really, really don't :)

it's everywhere outside of overtly freedom-concerned software.

the idiots are winning.

huh having some problems connecting at Wed Sep 18 14:22:32 UTC 2019 ... 404 Not Found ... will try later, sounds very interesting!

> Time anxiety ... means that your well-being is determined to a large extent by the importance of the value you feel you are creating with your life.

As a hacker doing mostly odd jobs and remote volunteer work for not-for-profits, I'm often consumed by the idea of whether I'll be able to "put my name on the day" when the head hits the pillow.

I have had a regular 0900-1700 job before, and it was nice to have the external validation thing to fall back on, the time-card that proves you showed up at least, or the mere fact that you're holding the job etc.

> Define what “time well spent” means to you

This is a great piece of advice. One source of metrics I found helpful to abandon is educational mobile apps / web programs etc that involve any sort of gamification. For example, I wasn't enjoying learning Japanese during the times I was redoing a lesson I didn't need to redo simply in order to make the education app make a fanfare sound and tell me that I had achieved my "daily x out of x points" ... I think measuring in time spent and effort exerted is a lot healthier, even if its complete inability to be quantified can be extremely frustrating!

from my experience, most words in esperanto should have the emphasis on the second-to-final syllable. this is a good guideline!

mi esTAS STUdando ... sounds weird. mi EStas stuDANdo ... sounds right.

this works almost everywhere because of esperanto's constructed nature and following uniformity.

i move my not-to-be-indexed stuff around a lot: renaming, archiving, etc. & i've a bit of shell scripting and a commonlisp program that automatically add things to robots.txt so that barely any of the things listed won't 404, and the ones that won't are protected via htaccess.

not sure why i did this aside from that it was fun!

A large case series[1] on reviewing dubious publications on Cannabidiol indicates substantial increase in anxiety among critical thinkers. A causative correlation[2] is concluded by the series.

neither the main nor noscript version seem to work from a text browser e.g. lynx. edit: works with links browser for me. very cool!

my neck aches from nods in agreement. i know i’ve written at leeaasst one #’TRAMADOL-SIMULATOR but i’ll likely just lambda the notion, slightly faster &or funner than grepping my filesystem for “\.l*sp$”.

we do know, as far as proving a negative goes anyhow; i’m a sdf member & volunteer ... the voidnull page has never been put away for too long & if anyone was able to deobfuscate the user’s identity beyond the website page proper it would be a whole exciting todo for our community.

if it becomes 2023, and if by then nobody’s doxed voidnull i think a special edition “everyone wins especially voidnull sdf forever” mug &or hoodie would be in order!

nydel@sdf pledges an additional usd100.

signed. j r nydel t.

voidnull's anonymous page has been my mood ring for about six years.

on good days i visit and appreciate the accomplishment + appreciate that our good ol' SDF is a public access multi-user system on which such a feat is possible!

on bad days i start thinking about writing evil sudos and shit, just grasping at straws.. that f'king page done been mockin' me since 2013 :P

on today, i love seeing the spirits of HN & SDF intersect!

so many incredibly insightful, funny, creative approaches abound in this comment section. warms my heart!

i try to remember: "i like liking thing."

this seems to help me avoid intellectual-ier-than-thou attitudes and behaviours. it's simple in its elegance to me:

1) i like to like

2) in order to like something, a manner of understanding is always involved (in maths it's empirical, in watching a magic stage show that fools you it's in a less direct understanding such as 'i understand there's a person attempting to create a sense of awe and wonder even though i do not understand the methodology of the trick')

3) so intention to like -> (as leads to) liking

4) and intellectual humility -> understanding

5) so intellectual humility -> understanding -> liking things

inversely,

intellectual arrogance -> ignorance -> not liking things

i don't want to do that thing. the ignorance and hate thing. it is - at least figuratively and perhaps moving toward literally - the only thing i actively do not like.

This may be the best political advertisement I've seen. Or the only good one?/s

Yeah it's really funny. But beyond that, there's nothing mean or of substance in it. Most political ads cannot claim the former and try to hide the latter, I think ^_^

Thanks for sharing!

My bigfoot dowsing rods keep drawing out the words "idiomotor" and "apophenia" but I'm not sure which of the myriad languages these concepts could possibly be a part; must be my subconscious connecting to the bigsfoot and deciphering their language.

without altering the hardware there might be no way to verify anything very meaningful

..excuse my not knowing where better to ask:

when i see a submission as what i would classify as "clickbait"-ish at hackernews, what is the right thing to do? is that what flagging is for?

a cursory search hasn't returned me a FAQ or anything & i'm relatively new to commenting. thank y'all in advance if there's such a document available to link to.

Which underlying problem?

I’m more interested in education & intelligence levels, iff* we’re to regulate content over web.

E.G. you must be thiiisss smart &or demonstrate n% content comprehension to continue, return, reply etc.

*iff as ‘if & only if’
