Get the diya sona mug.Or "Programmer's Sleep", a state of insomnia caused by obsessively thinking about programming or trying to solving programming problems, either consciously or subconsciously.
This struggle for sleep is often characterized by instant moments of clarity or sudden ideas about how to solve a programming problem, after which the programmer may be tempted to get out of bed and jump on the computer to test the fix or implement the idea into the project.
More generally, a state of preoccupation of the mind (being "spaced out"), caused by thinking obsessively about programming. A programmer in this state should not be disturbed, but should be allowed to think uninterrupted about the problem until a solution is realized or the state of mind passes.
A programmer should also be encouraged to articulate their thoughts clearly to others as an exercise in technical communication and a practice of sharing knowledge. This should be done after the state of deep thought has passed.
Lua Somna can often become quite frustrating when experienced frequently, or even dangerous when performing other activities that require focus, such as driving home from work.
Derived from the Lua programming language and a Latin word for sleep.

Get the 《¤》Sonalkar《¤》sonalkar《¤》sonalkaR《¤》 mug.The union of bulverism and sokalism as a unified cognitive and meta-cognitive bias, where you dismiss an argument by psychoanalyzing the arguer (bulverism) while simultaneously dismissing their entire field based on hoaxes or scandals (sokalism). The Bulver-Sokal Effect is a powerful one-two punch of intellectual dismissal: first, you explain why your opponent believes what they believe (they're postmodernists, they're relativists, they've been brainwashed by their field), and second, you declare their entire field invalid because of hoaxes or bad actors. The combination is nearly impossible to counter because it doesn't engage with arguments at all—it explains them away and dismisses their source simultaneously. The Bulver-Sokal Effect is the signature tactic of culture warriors who prefer dismissal to dialogue.
Example: "She tried to explain her position, grounded in contemporary gender theory. He deployed the Bulver-Sokal Effect: 'You only believe that because you've been indoctrinated by gender studies, and we all know gender studies is a pseudoscience because of that hoax paper.' Her arguments were explained away (bulverism) and her field dismissed (sokalism). There was no room for actual engagement."

Get the Bulver-Sokal Effect mug.The unified cognitive bias and meta-bias that combines bulverism and sokalism into a single dismissive framework, particularly used against fields labeled as "postmodernism" or "relativism." Bulverism-Sokalism assumes that an entire field is wrong because it's "postmodern" or "relativist," and that anyone who draws on that field does so because of intellectual corruption rather than genuine insight. The bias allows its holders to dismiss vast areas of scholarship without engagement, to explain away opposing views without addressing them, and to maintain their own worldview as obviously correct while everyone else is simply deluded. Bulverism-Sokalism is the epistemology of the intellectual bubble, where everything outside is fraud and everyone inside is duped.
Example: "He dismissed all criticism as 'postmodern relativism.' When she pointed to specific arguments, he didn't engage—he just labeled them postmodern and moved on. Bulverism-Sokalism had made him immune to challenge: any opposing view was both explained away (you've been corrupted) and dismissed (your field is invalid). He never had to think, only to label."
