I tried my hand at pulling data from opentopology recently to use in blender and thought it was an amazing source of data for my country - I later realised that it seems like only the US and NZ are well represented there though (guess I was

A bit like how us old timers had to write our exams in the pen and paper days.

I dunno about banking sites, currently they seem to be some of the worst out there in terms of caring about modern security techniques. eg SMS 2FA at best, terrible password handling etc. They don't move very fast at all. It feels weir

Technically correct I suppose - https://isopenbsdsecu.re/mitigations/embargoes_handling/ But they do have a relatively difficult history with embargoes. This isn't criticising them BTW - although I don't

Don't know if it was still the case, but OpenBSD would not get early vuln info because they wouldn't sit on embargoes and would patch right away.

I think this is the difference between cyberpunk as a fiction genre and the views of the people calling themselves cyberpunks back in the day (or reading the Wired articles about them).

Well if it takes Newton to act as an example of "That level of insight happens very rarely in history", then the point stands. Unless that was what you were getting at?

Surely not. Oppenhiemer "creating" the Atomic Bomb is pretty widespread general knowledge. Nobody outside physics geeks has heard of Fermi. My context is from being outside of the US though.

I use dumb questions a lot as a manager - although my hiring intentions are to try and make me the actual dumbest person on the team anyway. I don't use it so much for the teasing out agreement or highlighting problems angle though - o

It's now part of his workflow. The control button was hard to reach, so he configured emacs to interpret electric shocks as "control".

I seem to remember (could be wrong) that it was first publicised after getting used in Panama a couple of years earlier.

I gave up on using VMs on my work Mac (Linux user at home). When I get round to trying the Ventura upgrade, I'll give it another go. The annoying thing was that multipass and UTM would initially work before the firewall killed it a few

by antod 3y ago
Multipass for me suffered from a bunch of Macos networking bugs when on managed Macs. Kernel panics and vms that you couldn't connect to etc. UTM also suffered from these too. Apparently some have been fixed by now though.

HTML was spawned from SGML and HTML predates XML. The only XML ancestry was later on when a couple of versions of HTML were rewritten to be based on XML (XHTML which was eventually abandoned), but even then it needed a lot of backwards comp

Back in the day, I played the Amiga port of Larn with little graphical tiles. Lots of fun. There was a graphical Amiga port of Hack too, but it was too buggy.

I thought Python calling a native lib was the one time you could multithread your way around the GIL if you were cpu limited? Are the GDAL bindings not releasing the lock or something?

I would love it if some service did have an explicit option for the visibility of "monetized influencer crap". I'd be tempted to use them purely to reward their honesty.

Personally the crazy success of TikTok makes me care more about text based content. Threads won't be it for me though.

Or any machine code routines you wanted to POKE into memory. A suppressed obscure part of my lizard brain secretly wishes I could just code for 8bit computers from the 80s, just with all the modern niceties like text editors, assemblers and

Isn't it the other way around? Most salted hash implementations share the salt by embedding it in the hash. It's pepper that isn't shared. After rereading, I suspect by 'shared' you meant 'non unique' rath

Now I'm imagining an alternate reality where a Docker Container is like a caddy for laptops lining up the thunderbolt ports for hotswapping. And the delivery manager is the courier driver.

Yeah, after that phrase confusing me for years, I concluded that it really means a good craftsman won't even have bad (ie blame worthy) tools to begin with.

If you mix the definitions, biweekly and bimonthly can even be the same timeframe!

Heh, I remember lots of "100 separate queries to render this web page" insanity with doing some CMS work ages ago (actually 200+ was sometimes common). Only thing was it didn't have an ORM either :) Someone will probably corr

You originally said "everything you can do with it" rather than just the basics though. Those goal posts moved pretty far. I agree with learning most of your examples in an afternoon, but really knowing SQL takes a hell of a lot l

Yup, even as a kid I could tell the translators also had to be comedic geniuses too. I would constantly be marveling at the names, and how they were only a joke that made sense in English.
