2018-12-16 at 12:36 PM UTC in ITT: I Dox MyselfAnd while I completely understand why a forum full of weirdos, junkies, tweakers and criminals of varying degrees would particularly value there privacy, there's something kind of sad about being so on guard. For some of us, this social group has been our only steady group of friends for, 10, 15, 20 years of our lives....maybe more. And then either life gets in the way and we just disappear, or health problems arise and we kick the bucket, or we can't deal with depression anymore and rage quit life. In cases like Malice, if he did in fact kill himself- no one beyond his mother, father and siblings will even remember that he even existed. It sounds like he had a more open relationship with many people here than he ever did, even with his own family. Theres something sad about that...not knowing even just his first name.

Originally posted by aldra what a coincidence, my name is also Darren Mackenzie and I am also an avid child pornography and amphetamine enthusiast.
Okay, point taken, and I actually lol'd pretty hard.
But...
Actually, you reminded me of a strategy a coworker had not too long ago...
Spamming the Internet with untrue things about yourself... like... outlandish things... And then how do they parse the true stuff from the rumors?
I think I'll do something along those lines. -

2018-12-15 at 10:31 PM UTC in Do you remember how to factor a polynomial?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 Lanny 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.
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.
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.
I used to think about interesting low effort community fundraising methods but I've considered the idea several times and realized that the ratio of effort corralling retards to cost saved is not worth. -
2018-12-15 at 11:08 AM UTC in How do our brains figure out how imitate sounds with our mouths?So basically, we have a short window of opportunity to learn language, apparently.
If we are not taught language (and usually, that just means being around other human beings who speak the same verbal language as us), we actually risk missing the opportunity to do so.
I mean, think about it, how many people ever end up in Genie's situation, or the feral African wolf kid?
I can't say I'm all that familiar with the feral wolf kid from Africa, although there is a tale about a feral wolf-raised kid from somewhere in Europe some few hundred years ago.
Generally speaking, I approach these cases with skepticism, to be honest. Genie's case is well-documented. I'm not so sure about the African kid, although it is certainly possible.
But if this kid was exclusively around wolves during his formative years, I have to say, I doubt the veracity of the story if he actually ended up learning to communicate effectively.
Granted, Genie is a single case study, and it can seem like a stretch to apply that kind of thing to all humans everywhere. But there is other evidence, such as neurobiological studies, and other anthropological/sociological experiements, that have come to similar conclusions.
Linguistically, we are confined to a certain brief window during childhood to gain any skill.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by GGG Like today when I was fucking with the modulo operator today I had to google what a remainder was.
Maybe it was the drugs
Dude, I have to google the precise definition of modulo and modulus all the damn time.
My brain retains a vague general understanding of it, that it involves dividing two numbers and a remainder, but the exact mathematical/code syntax to use the modulo operator, no matter how many times I use it (since it is pretty sparingly, albeit consistently), will always give me pause for thought.
And even returning to the topic of recursion I brought up earlier... At least I think I did in this thread...
Anyway, there are some parts of programming, or really any skillset, that you only get better at with practice, but may always sustain some degree of confusion.
Either that, or we're both dumb from all the drugs.
But the way I see it is, even if the quantity and variety of drugs I've done over the years has essentially "fried my brain", or even if I was just straight up born with a low IQ, or maybe the ADHD I talk about having all the time is a real thing, or who knows what...
Don't let thoughts like that act as barriers to learning a new skill.
You clearly demonstrated in this thread and through Kik throughout the day that are capable of learning some of the fundamentals of programming.
And if you can learn the fundamentals, you can learn anything.
Eventually, the out-of-reach-stuff becomes the new "fundamentals".The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by aldra That and the current state of the tech industry/community makes it very difficult for me to care about it at the moment
I also wanted to touch on that point too...
So, with very little (basically none-whatsoever) formal education in programming, computer science, or software development, I find myself currently in a position at a startup where my job title, at least on our company website, is "Blockchain Developer."
It's kinda surreal to me for a whole host of reasons, one of which being that I have ZERO interest in crypo-currencies.
I know what Bitcoin is - I use it to buy drugs off the deep web.
But the whole cryptocurrency fad is just, utterly uninteresting to me.
So, I generally do not lead with my job title when I meet people, because then they always wanna talk about cryptocurrencies.
Anyway, through sheer serendipitous happenstance, I kinda just fell into this job. I work primarily on software that incorporates PRIVATE/ENTERPRISE blockchain technology, and has nothing to do with crypto-currencies.
A dude I knew - friend of a friend - was looking to hire developers for a new startup, and said they needed experts in private/enterprise blockchain solutions like IBM's / The Linux Foundations' Hyperledger.
So I went and learned everything I could about it, because I need a job (I've been teaching myself programming for the past few years, mostly via Youtube video tutorials, blog posts, and a fuck ton of hobby projects). But I never had a focal point or any kind of niche.
But boy did I ever find one.
VERY few people can claim any hands-on experience, let alone any degree of expertise in private blockchain implementation.
Well, I've successfully deployed both Hyperledger Fabric AND Ethereum's Quorum private blockchains, complete with front-end functionality and everything.
So I basically just kinda slipped, fell, and landed in this niche.
I went on kind of a drunken tangent there, but it's kind of a crazy story though, ain't it?
Exactly one year ago, I was working in a call center doing CELL PHONE BILLING support for pretty much minimum wage.
Now I'm a resident subject matter expert making triple what I made before.

Originally posted by gadzooks I was actually about to come in here with some long winded, detailed explanation (gotta put that degree in psychology to good use somewhere), but basically, yeah.
"Mirror neurons or some shit idk."
That could be like an entire chapter of a neuroscience textbook.
Don't let my shitposting keep you from making a genuinely insightful post about mirror neurons and shit if the mood strikes you. That stuff is voodoo to me, but still neat to read about.
Originally posted by gadzooks Although, upon further reflection, it might even be hardwired to some degree as well…
Or basically a combination thereof.
A very depressing, but high scientifically informative, case study tells us a lot about this particular phenomenon…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)
This poor gal was basically locked up in a room with zero interaction with anyone outside the home.
Her own parent's rarely even communicated with her.
She's apparently passed the point where a human being is even capable of learning to communicate.
Super sad.
But super informative!
That is fucking sad, yeah. Fuck. Her dad is/was an absolute shit. There's only a couple ways that abuse could have been any worse, and they really aren't fun to think about. -

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
