Happy Samhain everyone. Scorpio energy is very strong right now, with the Sun and Mars basically conjunct the entire month; we should all be taking advantage of it to pursue our goals. When Saturn stations direct on the 4th, it is a time unlike any other for setting grand plans in motion. Let...

Let me guess: your entire introduction to and experience with computers has only been through Unix and Unix-like systems. The references you gave are the bread and butter of legacy Unix programming and academic swamps. Learning C and C++ in 2023 is like a car mechanic learning how to work with...

Let me rephrase what you said: "Are you implying people know or care about facts? Modern society judges status by other means." "people ... care" There is your problem. No, I'm implying one shouldn't fucking care about the "social status" the andropoda """people""" ascribe to you. My status...

Nail Polish Was Used In 3,000 B.C. – Color Of Fingernails Indicated Social Status In Ancient China And Egypt Ancient warriors painted their nails before combat to instill fear among the enemy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_art The ancient elite classes invented nail polish to distinguish...

A little over a month ago, I made a guide thread about the importance of practicing science that reached the important notices board. I have been following the advice I gave in that post since: that all SS should study fundamental biology. I can say now that living without this knowledge opens...

Why don't you give him the actual advice you want to give him and tell him his aesthetic is "unhireable" as well? Certainly you wouldn't hire someone wearing all black and having long hair compared to a good corporate goyslave having the perfect office look? But doesn't that directly contradict...

I recently began wearing matte black and silver nail polish, I have the same sort of all-black aesthetic going on and some stronger feminine energies in my natal, so it fits. It is very individuating. As Xenophon pointed out, it only really works when the rest of your look fits with it. Not...

Those things aren't mutually exclusive. One can create a charming persona and wear nail polish at the same time. It sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder. Is the "stupid nail polish" in the room with us right now? :lol: It's okay bro, it wasn't the nail polish that hurt you, it was the...

Not really open source, it's more of just being able to study the source code for yourself and submit suggestions. That is what is necessary for more software. Open source as it used today is a form of communism that erodes the value of labor and rigor in building software.

J.P. Morgan said astrology is the tool of billionaires. Just a few of the ways you could use astrology in business and marketing: Using the natal charts of employees to deal with them in a manner that is most suitable, and placing them in roles most suitable for them. Timing business...

You are in luck with the library access. I've been suspecting the peer-review process as well. There is no reason to censor a majority of research that wishes to be published. Peer-review doesn't even mean confirming the replication of the study, only that it is """acceptable""" by the...

"Computer science" as a field doesn't actually have anything to do with physical computers, it's about the nature of computation itself and how it works at the most fundamental level. The name that the Europeans gave it, "Informatics", is a more accurate term, because it is actually the study of...

That is good to know, High Priest. The concept I had for the pilot version of the JoS research department was a forum-based system similar to GitHub Issues. Those who want to do research would register as researchers in particular fields or specialties, and a new (sub)forum would be created...

I am glad it is appreciated. None of the links to the services/books are anything special, so it's okay to just replace them with their plain text names. One can just search for them using a search engine. Only the link to the Basic Physics book should be replaced with the full title "Basic...

With the recent discovery of the first room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor, I was inspired by humanity's ability to carve out a future for themselves through the relentless pursuit of science, and it led me to make this post for you all to understand what science really means for...
