This is like saying if someone can get close to your house with a hammer they can mount a hammer attack on your windows and bypass your homes security. lmao, what a load of bullshit.

What kind of development tools would this run though? Does it have things like tcpdump, gcc, or Python?

Really nice work, gfodor. I've been working on a new p2p library and I see a bunch of ideas here that are new and useful. I'm definitely going to incorporate your work. Good stuff.

I'm thinking this python.com file would be so, so useful for DevOs / admin tasks. Use it as a lightweight binary to run Python scripts for all platforms. Would probably be very useful for setup / installation scripts or insta

Holy shit, this is frigging cool. Python is my language of choice and I'm amazed at the result here. Wow, even the socket implementation works. Python 3.6.14+ (Actually Portable Python) [GCC 9.2.0] on cosmo Type "help", &quot

It seems like the OP is mostly talking about 'blocking' sockets. Such sockets return when they're ready or there's an error. So send returns when its passed off its data to the network buffer (or if its full it will wait

There are many people who are anti-psychiatry who would probably still benefit immensely from treatment. My worry is that such people will look at this and say: "see look, the psychiatrists got it wrong. I was right to question treatme

I don't think Python packaging is as bad as people make out (if packages only stick to the basic features of Python!) A far bigger issue I see is despite Python supposedly being 'cross-platform': the language introduces so ma

If it turns out that a large amount of sleep deprivation causes brain damage in humans a lot of people are going to freak out (and probably do even more damage from worrying.) Hopefully our brains are more resilient than mouse and puppy bra

Now I'm thinking of the massive amount of content locked up in VHS tapes that future generations will probably never see due to copyright + lack of resources. I bet there's some absolute gems there.

I go through different phases in what my brain can use for music. Sometimes I want really loud, energetic music with powerful rock lyrics. Those are usually amazing days because being able to function at a high level while taking in competi

Agreed. I also find it problematic that you have no control over the schedule of when the interviews start, when offers are made, how long companies might wait. E.g. if you have offers and you're still interviewing do you tell those co

What's depressing as hell is when you first start searching for a job and you've put in a massive effort yet for like ~a week you get no responses. It really kills moral. But usually then all the replies come in a deluge and you w

I'm sure this will piss people off: but almost all of the 'code reviews' I've been a part of were a waste of time. People trying to force stylistic changes to how a program works (OPs post is an example) aren't cont

Don't take it personally. You should expect a large number of companies to ghost you. It's just part of the process. Keep going and believe in yourself.

There are still good tech jobs but hiring is down compared to its high. Whether its down compared to pre-covid times - can't say. What I will say however is: job search sucks no matter what the economy is doing. If you want to skip as

I think its more because only the greatest artworks have ended up being curated. I'm sure if NFT art were as old as physical art there would be more to choose from. I want to also say that in my view I don't believe an NFT has va

It works fine with actual art but I've yet to see an NFT comparable to say: the Mona Lisa. When I got into the blockchain space ~9 years ago I would have never imagined years later people would be going crazy over pictures of jpegs. Pe

Hashcash is an interesting idea and very creative. But I do think you're right. It may impose reasonable limits on a single computer. But if an attacker has a botnet they can still send out a crap load. Botnets and spam practically go

There should be an amendment to the email protocol that routes emails to inboxes if they were paid for by some user-configurable amount. Cryptocurrency would be ideal for this unironically because its basically an open protocol (yeah I know

It's possible this rebound is a bad sign though. Traders call it a 'dead cat bounce': where there is a temporary recovery followed by a massive crash. Michael Burry predicted this exact scenario.

What do you all think about the role of genius in making discoveries in mathematics today? Are you screwed if you're not a genius? Or is working hard, good collaboration, and wide-reading all that is needed?
