Call the dolphin; we will go.
Far away, for to see,
friendly dolphin, come to me.
Good grief. Homophone insanity. We've got Clojure [...] "closures" [...] And now Google jumps in with "Closure"
It's worse than that; there's also Clozure Common Lisp.
The system used in the roguelike Linley's Dungeon Crawl (and its currently-maintained fork, Stone Soup) mostly takes care of that: when you get XP, you also get an equal number skill points; whenever an action practices a skill, some number of points from that skill pool are transferred into the skill, and eventually the skill levels up. If the pool is empty, you don't gain skill. (Also, in the skill screen, skills can be set to not be actively practiced, which greatly reduces the skill points consumed by using them; this is for things like if you're using a given type of weapon but don't plan on specializing in it.)
In practice, there's still some incidence of "victory dancing" --- after a big kill, standing around repeatedly casting some spell to make sure that the points go into some particular magic skill(s) --- but not much, and because the points would have gone into something useful anyway, it's more a question of whether the player actually wants to do that kind of powergaming.

No need to redact that. It's a link-local, non-routable address []
The lower 64 bits almost certainly contain the interface's MAC address; while it's not as bad as a globally reachable network address, some people still might not want to post it openly on
Greg Egan's website has a little Java applet to visualise what happens to light around a black hole, dated 2001.
He's got a bunch of other fun stuff there, explaining/"demonstrating" the strange physics (real and theoretical) used in his books and stories.
zsh tab-completion. $[2**30/1e9] TAB, for example.
(Yes, really.)
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
