We would have never had all of the money blown on the infra that actually enabled the explosive growth after the dotcom bust. Probably would require a university account to access. And you'd probably be billed for all the bits
I think web 2.0 (ie. the internet after standards bodies had congealed around the browser stack of tech) would have been better off as a complete redesign. Sure we made SPAs work on top of the hodge-podge of shit that is HTML/CSS/JS, but at what cost? Before React and it's ilk, there were many attempts to bring desktop GUI-like toolkits to the web which imo was a superior paradigm. Now, a browser is basically a shitty VM with horrible abstractions for web applications. If only we'd stopped and rethought that. WASM was also a chance for that to happen, but 1.0 is so limited (can't challenge the browser too much! it makes google money!). And the fractured WASI nonsense that exists now means we'll never get to the point where it could replace it.
Y'all some unimaginative peeps. Suggesting a bunch of things that taste good but are far from ideal. The true, ideal stoner food would engage all of the mouth senses in positive ways. That satisfying crunch, the burst of flavors, with an easy chew, and a greedy swallow. It would elevate the very act of mastication beyond what these mortal realms can dream. And bring with it unbound euphoria and a literal (yes, literal) mini symphony would start sound tracking the experience to resonate with the overwhelming emotional sublime waves of gratification washing over me. Oh and it would be like low cal and shit, so I could eat tons of it without getting fat, like I am now.
Exactly. You're responsible for the code that is submitted. I've seen good code come out of proficient centaurs. These are the peeps that know their craft well and can make the robots dance their tune. I've also seen shit code from people that obviously didn't read the output too closely, and let the robot go off the rails. The latter group is who needs to be strung up from the rafters.
It is very common to be introspective on psychedelics. They suppress the default mode network (which is basically all of your filters and shortcuts your brain takes) so then your brain starts looking at patterns as if they are new again. This introspection can lead to life changes simply because without the day-to-day nonsense filling your head, you have space to consider what you can do better or what you can fix. You kinda have to be open to this idea and make a focused effort to engage. It's best paired with therapy or close friends with intent. Otherwise, just doing psychedelics recreationally (because it is fun and feels great especially if you're suffering from depression!) isn't gonna fix anything.
I mean, maybe it is better to just ban you? You're being decidedly unsocial for social media, bro. Go back to Reddit/Instagram and consume away. And keep your shitty behavior away from the fediverse.
