…Except I’m a godless extrovert with too many friends, and even I can’t date a hundred people.
wait does this mean once I become poly I have to transition
damn you trans-philic SJ and your brilliant marketing tactics
it true tho
@sinesalvatorem once said that one should not be surprised that wanting to kiss girls correlates with other good decisions, and I say that transitioning would also be expected to correlate with other good decisions (at least it correlates with being a diaspora-type rationalist and with wanting to kiss girls, see the pattern?) and thus nobody should be surprised if trans lesbians, with our exceedingly high prior for making Objectively Good Decisions, would make the decision of dating all the friends or as close as possible or convenient
everything fits as beautifully together as a theory ever could, and empirical observation that trans lesbians and trans-lesbian-adjacents tend to be awesome people further supports it!
Okay so prop 8 was kind of dick move but nothing to fire a guy over, but could we discuss the Actually Problematic things Eich has done, like javascript? It has too many semicolons and curlybrackets so I now I’m procrastinating learning javascript by learning lisp and julia instead and while this is definitely intriguing (lisp has this certain fascinating purity, and julia just seems incredibly awesome) it isn’t exactly what I’m supposed to be doing right now
what defines us as one American people is our dedication to common ideals – rather than similarities of origin or creed
can someone explain to me the difference between “dedication to common ideals” and “similarities of creed”
(context: history of loyalty day here, other holidays that are today here and here and here)
I wonder what odds you could get betting with someone in the 1950s that one day the slaves fleeing on the Underground Railroad and the lunch-counter sit-ins in Greensboro would be cited as examples by a President proclaiming “Loyalty Day”.
This, plus your indoctrinating your schoolchildren to salute and pledge allegiance to the flag every morning, is what makes other nations go “the hell?”
Why do I get the feeling having a “Loyalty Day” on 1st May was something to declare “We aren’t Communists!” Oh, and I see by the Wikipedia article that yes, indeed, so it was. Something that should have been along the lines of National Corn on the Cob Day and allowed to sink into decent obscurity after the 50s/60s still warrants a presidential address (because who wants to be the first president not to recognise National Loyalty Day, that’s like blowing your nose on the Constitution).
Every time I read anything written by an American declaring how conformist Japanese culture is, I go “Pot. meet kettle”
Maybe to avoid seeming overly concerned about Loyalty we should have a holiday for all six Moral Foundations?
May 1 can stay Loyalty Day. July 4 is basically already Liberty Day.
Presidents’ Day can become Authority Day. And Martin Luther King Day would make a good Fairness Day.
Not sure when Care Day and Sanctity Day should be.
Thanksgiving and Christmas, perhaps?
may 1 for loyalty (to fellow workers), sanctity (of the blood of the workers spilt in the struggle), authority (for
If we start playing this game, I say NO to dark moral foundations.
Sanctity is the enemy of Care.
Loyalty is the enemy of Fairness.
Authority is the enemy of Liberty.
These evil counterparts don’t deserve holidays.
This is why we privatize the holidays and let people celebrate whatever they want whenever they want.
I for one will be celebrating the Dawn of Saint Madoka, the celebration of transhumanist loophole exploitation, on the first of May.
It’s not obvious what the code is doing, thanks to the one letter variable names and extremely unhelpful comments. It’s probably supposed to be near impossible to understand, since this is the secret compression algorithm itself (see the ConvolutedMagic call on line 76, too).
The full transcription of the (shown) code can be found at http://textuploader.com/5y7l2.
isn’t silicon valley set two decades back or something? what’s sublime text doing in 1995?
No, it’s approximately the present day.
Anyway, the real question is: why aren’t they using vim and tmux instead of sublime text?
