    Nietzsche thought we should fight the power and that conformity was very bad. He was literally the only free thinking early modern philosopher. His writing drew on no prior philosophical work and no subsequent philosopher developed his ideas further because they were already fully formed.

    What are these screenshots supposed to prove? That you've had schizophrenia for at least 5 years?

    Compulsory mathematics education is uniformly horrible. I don't think anyone even pretends like it's not at this point, although people who ride Japan's cock for their high scores on standardized tests really misses the point of mathematics education by a mile.

    Compulsory education isn't about learning per se, although there is some of that, it's about producing socialized and useful members of society. We're pretty good at teaching reading and writing and those are obviously critical. Schools are also pretty good at getting people to sit down and follow directions and generally get emotionally invested in the rewards structure of the society. The former can be done in a couple of years, the latter apparently takes most of the 13 years we spend in schools, everything else is inconsequential to the fundamental function of K-12. Innumeracy isn't much of a problem, in highly consumeristic cultures it's actually advantageous. Not enough people give a shit about art so whether students end up with any kind of appreciation of it or ability to make it is really secondary.

    So yeah, time in school isn't strictly wasted, something's getting accomplished, it's just not learning math or music or anything other than becoming literate.

    Originally posted by gadzooks I used to… actually, still do sometimes… use "Print Thread" to save a copy and archive it somewhere locally if it was either:
    A. Nostalgia worthy (hence i have a lot of Totse threads saved, even way back before the "Print Thread" option was available).
    B. Educationally worth referencing in the future (I would do this on a lot of different forums, usually topical ones like bluelight and other drug-related forums).

    Yeah, I've considered doing some kind of structured downloadable archive style thing. It'd be a nice feature but I'd have to set up a cron job or something and I don't think there's probably a ton of interest in something like that. If you want to open a PR for a management command or something to dump archives (only the publicly accessible parts of course) I'd set up a job to drop that into a statics folder once a week or something.

    You should convert it all to a RESTful API that serves up JSON.

    (I say it like it's a simple as flipping a lightswitch…).

    But that is where most mainstream social media type websites are heading.

    I don't know for sure if it cuts down on overhead, but serving everything as JSON seems to work for a lot of places…

    It could be like:

    badideas_subforum.json:


    [
    {thread_title: "How to make bombs", content: "Instructions on how to make big explosions follow....", replies: [
    {poster: "The Mad Bomber", content: "All you need is like ammonia and bleach...", timestamp: "right_now", thanks: [userpk_1, userpk_2]}],
    {thread_title: "How do I steal cars?", content: "I need to know how I can steal a BMW tonight.", replies: [
    {poster: "carthief420", content: "That's dumb. Huff raid.", timestamp: "right_now", thanks: [userpk_1, userpk_2]}]
    ]


    A lot of sites do do that, but usually they make serverside provide the "REST" API and then drop all the rendering on the client. Part of the site design goals were that it should work with javascript disabled, so I can't just hand it off to the client. I'd have to support the API in parallel to the user facing part of it.

    Originally posted by gadzooks Also, Lanny (and why I'm choosing this particular thread of all threads to communicate this, who knows - alcohol may be involved)… Just wondering, is hosting NIS any kind of financial burden whatsoever?

    A lot of websites beg for donations and all that, but I see no such requests floating around.

    Like, do you end up having to pay any money out of your own pocket for hosting?

    Yeah, there's no revenue so all the hosting costs are covered out of pocket. But then the cost of hosting it is pretty low, I think I posted a more detailed breakdown in another thread somewhere in T&T but it's less than $30/mo and I could probably get away with something cheaper. I don't want to do ads, I don't want to have to look at ads and I don't even really think the ads would produce significant income. Asking people for money doesn't seem like it would yield a lot. Ultimately every totse descendant boiled down to the admin covering costs, expecting to turn a profit on this kind of thing is unproductive. I can either pay all of the small hosting costs or pay most of the hosting costs and have to worry about fund raising schemes. It's worth the small amount of money it costs to not have pass the donation pan around this band of cunts.

    If only someone had said that 16 pages ago, if only some hero would have risen to inform you that Bill Krozby is a lying piece of shit with no respect for human life and feeling any shred of sympathy for him is just feeding his narcissism.

    But alas, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE saw this troll coming.

    Originally posted by gadzooks Is this like an analogy for bitwise operations?

    w = 1
    b = 0

    w ^ wb ^ b = 0?

    Actually no, I think I'm way off.

    Your post is too cryptic for me to interpret.

    Pun possible intended. I can't remember.

    Yeah, don't overthink it. You just line up two bit strings and do the logical operation between each pair of aligned bits. e.g.


    9 = 00001001
    1 = 00000001

    1 XOR 9 (each out bit is set iff exactly one in bit is set):
    9 = 00001001
    1 = 00000001
    ------------
    00001000

    1 OR 9 (each out bit is set if one or both of the in bits are set):
    9 = 00001001
    1 = 00000001
    ------------
    00001001


    Calculation is really easy, just remember how to line them up and the operation (the name is a pretty straight forward mnemonic). Some interesting things fall out of bitwise operations, you see XOR used a lot in crypto and in low level languages they're a way of smushing a bunch of yes/no values together into one word (typically called flags) and that can get confusing when people talk about that in non-binary systems (like "0640" permissions means something that has nothing to do with that particular number, only its binary representation), but the operations themselves are dead simple.

    Also I think I should just clarify that distributing cipher text with the key (AND the decryption procedure in this case, no less) isn't really cryptography at all. It's just making you read a little code to get at the plaintext.

    Originally posted by gadzooks I have a lot more to learn about both cryptography in general, and bitwise operations more specifically. I legit couldn't even tell you off of the top of my head what the difference between XOR and NOR is.

    Well, after a few minutes of (slightly inebriated) thought, I could come up with some kind of answer, although it might be completely wrong…

    XOR is eXclusive, meaning 0 XOR 1 resolves to true because JUST ONE is true, but 0 XOR 0 would be false and 1 XOR 1 would be false.

    Whereas NOR resolves to true if either one OR the other is true… So 0 NOR 1 is true, whereas 1 NOR 1 is also true.

    That's right in the case of XOR. What you described as NOR is actually OR, NOR is just negated OR, so x NOR y is true iff both and and y are 0.

    Originally posted by GGG Then I dropped out of college and more years passed and now I have to study again to re-take that stupid fucking test. Otherwise I will be in a remedial class. People who can retain this knowledge honestly baffle me. Like today when I was fucking with the modulo operator today I had to google what a remainder was.

    Maybe it was the drugs

    It's just about usage. Any time I don't use a piece of math (or anything from any subject really) for a while I need to go back and brush up on it. I still can't really do useful calculus without looking it up just because it so infrequently comes up. Reacquiring some topic gets faster each time though

    I'm converting it all to python.

    It's all syntactically correct….

    But it's trying to turn a letter "t" to a hex value….

    FUCK…

    I will get this…

    Don't waste your time, it's not a complete program. "ZOKLock" and "h" are never defined. Spectroll has been posting this same code fragment as if he understands what it does for many years now. I can say with confidence that he does not, the guy has no idea how to program because he things being a call center tech support dude for a billion years somehow makes him know anything about anything.
