no one wants to automate themselves out of a job, only other people.

Just a heads up, your javascript doesn't work for me in Chrome because it's assigning to a global `history` variable. `window.history` is read-only so the js errors out. If you scope your function or rename the variable it should work. Nice challenge! Good luck!

Funny, Sublime was my gateway drug to Vim. It has "Vintage Mode" (which gives you vim keybindings) which I enabled just for macros since they are so powerful. After a month of going directly to insert mode I started accidentally picking up more and more random keys. Eventually I was so fast in normal mode it just didn't make sense not to use vim since everything else I use is in the terminal anyway.

Not sure of the original intent, but when I started using Rust I used Rust By Example for finding snippets of things like file io where I get the gist but want to quickly see the pattern or involved parts of the stdlib.

The Rust docs are great, but having a starting point can be super welcoming so you aren't poking around blindly at different types that might be relevant.

I can't help but feel we're all underestimating boredom in this scenario. Yeah, you have to survive, but eventually things will be stable enough for there to be SOME downtime, with very few options for entertainment. When sanity is involved, boredom is a massive problem and sex might be one of the easiest forms of entertainment to arrange depending on what constraints were involved when planning the mission.

Humans have an amazing capacity for addiction. It may be easy to say no to micropayment games, but "products that engender addiction" is a very broad and fuzzy category.

I'm most interested in deterministic languages. Non-deterministic context-free languages would be extremely interesting as well but more out of curiosity than an applicable need. Thanks!

Veering a bit offtopic, but does anyone have any pointers to important recent work on parsing? There are alot of papers out there and I guess I don't know how to sift through them. I've heard the "parsing is solved" line before, but so much of my time is spent doing some type of parsing that even incremental improvements are extremely interesting.

Would someone mind fixing the typo in the title? It's AvanceDB, not AdvanceDB. Due to the bravado of a name with "advance" in it, it might actually make a difference to how it's perceived.

This is alot of fun. Would it be really difficult to be able to "blacklist" pages from the UI? I keep trying to come up with really disparate topics to find interesting connections, but everything is linked by "Knowledge".

I'm really curious as to what exactly you mean by this...does the same code through the same compiler not reliably produce the same binary? I know very little about actual compiler mechanics, but non-deterministic compilation seems really strange to me.

Just switched to OSX for work, and i3 is the only part of my workflow I can't replace. I dearly dearly miss it.
