mumbi··on Bro pages: like man pages, but with examples only
using the word 'bro' doesn't belittle anybody. and if you objected to a racist joke, I would think you're a bitch but probably would politely ask you to leave my circle of friends.
mumbi··on Bro pages: like man pages, but with examples only
Great idea. Never been a fan of the whole bro thing, but I say keep the name. If the women want a 'sister pages', let them make it.

for a man to be offended by this FOR the sake of women, you must be one pussy whipped mofo.

"Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window." - woz
mumbi··on Ask HN: Why use Python or similar?
If you're a C# programmer and you want to stay one, then stay one. There are many startups out there that would love to have a skilled C# programmer, I'm sure.

It might depend on where you're living, I'm not sure.

Also, afaik C# is open source, check out Mono. (somebody correct me if wrong)

mumbi··on NBA Superstar Chris Bosh: Here’s Why You Should Learn to Code
Great article. We need more like him in the tech community(and in general).
mumbi··on My new book, "Linux is Badass", comes out tomorrow
I'll probably buy the book, seeing as it's cheap as shit. But, I just want to say, your BBS is one of the most awesome things I've found all year. (wishing I wasn't so young)
mumbi··on Poll: Music while coding: Yes/No and What Kind?

Heroin cravings never leave, it's the physical withdrawal you want to avoid.
mumbi··on Healthcare.gov Lines of Code Comparison
Ah, it all makes sense now. For about a dollar a line, I wouldn't give a shit either.
mumbi··on Every position of Rubik's Cube can be solved in twenty moves or less
Very cool. I'm still amazed by people who try to solve Rubik's Cubes with the least moves possible. Unfortunately it seems the speed solvers get all the glory, though.

mumbi··on LSD microdosing: a randomized, blind self-experiment
Take heed to the last paragraph, gwern, and when you do remember "Shpongle."
mumbi··on LSD microdosing: a randomized, blind self-experiment
I read the first few paragraphs. The comments turned me off to the rest.
mumbi··on LSD microdosing: a randomized, blind self-experiment
Micro-dosing is a waste of time if you're actually curious about the effects of LSD.
mumbi··on A Confederacy of Quacks: The War Against Antidepressants
If you must take the pill to become the new you, is it really you you're becoming? I feel that it's the pill, not your self, that becomes the identity.

I suppose we could take this further, for the sake of making a point, and ask if one receives a lobotomy, is one his or her self?

I'm glad you typed it up, it made me think.

mumbi··on A Confederacy of Quacks: The War Against Antidepressants
There is no basis for me claiming that artificially modifying one's self is a bad thing, as I never made that claim. I only pointed out an observation.
mumbi··on A Confederacy of Quacks: The War Against Antidepressants
I think you misunderstand what I mean by true self. Yes, our self does change at every moment and is "reborn." However, it is still a true self as it is not artificially modified.
mumbi··on A Confederacy of Quacks: The War Against Antidepressants
To change one's self artificially is to make one into something he or she is not. Yes, I did not mention artificial, but I assumed that was a given.
mumbi··on A Confederacy of Quacks: The War Against Antidepressants
I agree and have no qualms with people's use of heroin, and have dabbled, myself. It was only presented as an example.

To amplify, there is nothing morally wrong with anti-depressants either. However morality is not the issue of my concern, the deadening of true self is.

mumbi··on A Confederacy of Quacks: The War Against Antidepressants
I think it's obvious that any psychoactive substance will change one's self. Hence the word psychoactive.
