  • An inode (or index node) is something which points to something else, to help you find it easier. In a library, it would be the cards in the card catalog. They help you find a book.

    There are 3 layers of inodes in this system: the root node, the medial node, and the distal node.

    Each node lists the categories it has, and then tells you where to go to get the sub-categories for that category. Here, for example, you have the root. If you follow the next link under INF, you’ll get to its subcategories (REF). If you follow the next link under REF, you’ll see DIC, ENC, and MAP. Following the next link under those will get you to sites that contain that particular type of information.

    I am building a desktop explorer that makes this much easier.




  • Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?

    Like, I sleep at night, get up and go to work the next day and do the same thing over and over and over. Until I come home and sleep again at night.

    Patterns arise from any and everything. Even randomness. You’re claiming that statistically, patterns exist. As opposed to what? Wouldn’t there have to be as much noise, somewhere in the void, as there are patterns within said noise?

    Patterns are only significant in context – with meaning.

    Like, you shouldn’t run the same path every day while jogging. Why? Because, in the context of security, it makes it easy for someone to mug you.




  • A reason is literally an excuse.

    If every time your parents offered you ice cream as a child, they beat the hell out of you, you’d soon start associating ice cream with with abuse. You’d expect it, as a matter of survival.

    When you got older, someone offering you ice cream would trigger that fight or flight mechanism.

    Mitigation is quite literally freedom from one consequence, in place of another.

    Honestly, I used to feel the same. But now… Not so much.

    Shitty childhoods often develop into isolating behaviors. Isolating behaviors keep you from connecting with other people. Those people often give you hell, because you don’t have the skills to connect and they’re afraid of you. Which means you learn behaviors to keep others away from you.
