It varies for me depending on my mood state. I find it most vivid in bouts of psychosis. I remember once being in such a state and being overwhelmed by my mind's eye seeming even more vivid than the images coming into my actual eyes. Seeing two distinct views at once was quite disorienting.

I'm a bit surprised at how often it seems to come up in random comment threads. The atmosphere here feels increasingly unwelcoming lately.

Or maybe people feel like they're just having abstract, hypothetical intellectual discussions. But when I read these threads, it just feels like signal after signal that I no longer fit in or have a place here.

The Python core devs did not have the time or motivation to support the old codepaths in the CPython runtime, and the legacy code was getting in the way of a lot of longtime wants and needs for improving performance, runtime maintainability, language ergonomics, and the standard library. They also specifically increased the major revision number to signal their intent to move on from that legacy.

But you kind of addressed your entire spiel: Hindsight is exceedingly easy. They didn't realize how inadequate their migration tooling was, or how very entrenched Python 2 is in various places. It's hard when you don't know what you don't know and you're highly motivated by hopeful aspirations.

I've always felt that sustaining oneself with the life another animal or plant or whatever is the ultimate sign of respect and should be considered an almost sacred act.

The not owing a drink thing reminds me of the concept of rounds. I guess Americans don’t practice it so much, but in Oz it’s kind of expected that people cycle through buying rounds. And there’s always a sense amongst a group of who’s up next, even across multiple days/nights.

Is it unusual to be able to play back music in one’s head and hear it almost exactly the same as hearing it aloud?

When I imagine music in my mind, the sonic qualities all seem the same as what I heard or hear, though sometimes I’ll mentally edit the arrangement intentionally or unintentionally.

I’ve also noticed that when I use my voice to sing melodies for compositional purposes, imagining the melody and singing are basically the same thing or have the same end result. On the other hand, using synthesizers and messing with patches usually leads to things I wouldn’t have always imagined in my head.

I’ve never asked anyone about any of this before, so I never realized others might not experience the same things. Sometimes I wish I could switch subjective experience for a day with another person to get real perspective.

Super rad, dude. I’m stoked to hit some gnarly waves today. It’s gonna be killer, dude. Like, totally.

Sorry, I slipped into my SoCal dialect there for a sec.

I can't speak to how good or effective it is, but the issues you mentioned are, I think, why the rust-lang community communicates through Zulip (instead of email, IRC, etc).

I’m being somewhat facetious or jocular when I say this—and somewhat serious—but…I wonder:

Is that a reflection of the quality of the software implementation? Or is it a reflection of the hardware it’s trying to implement? Or perhaps it’s related to the hardware the emulator is running on?

Or did the emulator emulate the hardware while running on /that/ hardware? Did it pull efficiency gains out of seemingly thin air?

la-gb? (Latin, Gibberish?)

It’s a sensitive subject for some, I think.

It seems like a very individual natural selection-based idea.

I’ve personally always wondered if there could be tribe-level selection for tribes with some non-heterosexual members.

But I also have personal experience, and I’ve met others who do as well, with life experiences that make me wonder if they could somehow affect sexuality. I know it might be presumptuous of me to consider the idea, but it’s only just an idea—one I usually keep to myself.
