The best answer I've heard. It is both a "you don't care about the answer, so I'll just give you a canned response" answer and a direct commentary about the social ritual.

I'm not sure I'd classify this comic as slightly racist, since the tonto-like character is being treated the same as the other two white sidekicks.

I don't understand how not using a keyword to define a function causes the meaning to change depending on imports. I've never run into an issue like that before. Can you give an example?

Sorry for being off-topic, but I don't think I understand anarchism as a political philosophy. Isn't anarchism the absence of imposed rules? Communal resources seems to go against that, (it does make sense that the players get to divvy it up, though) and being cursed by the gods feels like a more theocratic thing than anarchist. Im not trying to be rude or anything, I just like to pick people's brains about this stuff.

After reading a lot of comments in this thread, I'm not sure I know what spaghetti code is. I thought spaghetti code was when the order of execution was obfuscated due to excessive jumps and GOTOs. But a lot of people are citing languages without those as examples of spaghetti code. Is this just a classic "I don't like this programming language, and I don't know much about it." Or is there something I'm missing?

I don't understand the perspective that people should be more lazy. When people have lazy coworkers, they tend to suffer since they have to go above and beyond to get a task done. It's like having a group project in school, and there's the one guy that just does the bare minimum, so you have to work twice as hard so your grade doesn't go down.

And if everyone simultaneously became lazy, that would be a disaster too. You don't want hospitals or firefighters to suddenly decide they want to just run down the clock instead of doing the best job they can.

If you look at it only through the perspective of the morality of labor, it makes sense to say the rich are lazy and so it's fair for the poor to be equally lazy, but when you look at the larger picture, it's a lot less cut and dry.

The truth is, our current standard of living is based on the amount of work people do. If everyone suddenly became less productive, we would enter a recession or an economic depression.

You could do this in basic ASCII, with only three defines. replace "_ " with "{", replace "_;" with "}", and "_" with nothing. If your compiler processes macros in the correct order, it will become valid code. (You would use semicolons as the vertical lines)

You always have to package good people with secret shames so suspicious players can gauge how good or evil they are. What people feel they need to hide is a good measure of what they consider acceptable. For example, a lawful good character could be ashamed by ignoring a person asking for help, but a lawful evil character might be ashamed that they indiscriminately murdered adults & children.

I would be so much more positive about this if you linked the actual source, not just an article that regurgitates everything word for word. Also, why is this article on 'indian defense review?' India and Pakistan nearly had a nuclear war this morning.

There's a streamer called vedal[some numbers here, I forgot] that might be autistic—I'm not sure if he is, but he's certainly shy and has difficulty expressing emotion. He made an AI vtuber thing called 'neuro-sama' it's only really interesting because it's an LLM in a real-time scenario.

Who'd be the first?
