Maybe I missed it but the article doesn't mention the even easier way to see this: the activity tab.

It has everything. Any force push to hide ugly prototype code is kept forever which annoys me. I wish we were able to remove stuff from there but the only way to do it is to email support it seems?

Here it is for the test repo mentioned

That's fun! Is it possible to have an optional pause before solution is shown, so if looking at the screen there is some time to try to solve the puzzle?

Alert: if you were happy to learn about aphantasia, you might also be happy to learn about SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory), which I think is correlated with aphantasia.

SDAM is when you know facts about your life, but can’t walk through any or almost any episodes.

Apparently normal people can actually re-live episodes from their past, step by step or.. idk. Somehow. And I don’t know what I had for breakfast today ಠ_ಠ

I started a small meditation where I attempt to walk back through the whole day as best I can, while trying to drift to sleep. It has made me appreciate my life more and I remember more mundane details because I have at least recalled it once, if that makes sense.

Unless it is a day to forget... If you have too many of those, you know something needs to change.

I would not touch this..

But it got thinking, if git ever gets replaced would it be by something akin to this that is constantly monitoring all keystrokes in your repo folder and you never make a commit as such, the ai repo upstream just sorts it out..

>religious beliefs that "everything must be done" to save a life no matter how much pain or suffering is causes. It's morally distressing.

A life full of pain and suffering is still a life. The alternative you're offering is not something without paid and suffering, it's worse. Notexisting is worse than pain and suffering.

I completely disagree. I would rather not exist than be in truly agonising pain for the rest of my existence.

Heck, I've had something as simple as bad food poisoning where, if it was a terminal symptom, I would have ended it.

Looks great, I think I will pick this up. Can I ask a strange question, what font is used for the text in the book? It's very pleasant to look at!

There's good theoretical reason to think that. Evolution should eliminate diseases caused by self-defects, but arms races with pathogens can keep diseases around (either directly, caused by the pathogen, or indirectly, as a tradeoff due to things being selected for to resist the pathogens.)
Pwhy1 · 6 years ago
If diseases caused by self defects arise mainly after reproducing (say in your 50s/60s/70s), would there be much evolutionary pressure to eliminate it?
