Short answer, is nope.. About 20 years ago, I had a /24, but no ISP I've ever had would let me use it.. Even if I paid the insane price for "public static ip" they'd not let me use addresses from my own block. You m

I wonder if the bots can be tricked into buying a mediocre property for orders of magnitude it's worth with some kind of ai attack vector... Like.. if they use the text, find wording that reasonable humans interpret vastly different fr

This was such an interesting article.. Of course I was biased by growing up on C64, DOS and Win95.. But, it was really the case for me, I was able to learn all about the OS from just clicking around, and things seemed so strongly to be &quo

Nah, he's pretty spot on "User eXperience", it's not about designing a usable tool to maximise user productivity or pleasure, but rather, about designing a specific experience, which may or may not align with productivit

I'm not arguing that it is, I'm simply stating that it is my understanding that that is how it is. Is it not the case? That 'poor countries' are getting all the shitwork now ? I sense that you disagree with my understand

I think it's critically important to consider by which method such material was created. By the putting of pencil to paper, entirely from the imagination of some feeble mind ? Whatever, it's not for me, and I'd maybe piss on

I'm curious what it is in my comment that you found to be "knock-off" or distasteful? I didn't defend the status-quo, I didn't suggest any alternative, I didn't say it was a good or a bad thing, only that it is

Don't get me wrong, as someone who likes to art as a hobby, I'm _ALL_FOR_ pissing on things for any number of reasons.. Including such irrationality as it simply not suiting your fancy. But I must comment on > Reason No. 2: The

I'm with you on this.. There can only be rich countries if there are poor countries.. Otherwise there would just be.. countries.. One of the reasons that the standard of living is so high in rich countries, is because we're paying

I would discuss this with my wife first, and reorganize the economy so that her income could sustain both of you until you either make it or call it quits. Also have a reasonable exit plan, like, when is it enough, so you know when to stop

That's kind of interesting, I never got to use DVDs because the quality jump from VHS to "kazaa" was sufficient.. and then came HD movies and the DVD rips looked pretty bad.. For physical media, I could see the point in blu-r

Personally, I've put very crummy code out there, and I don't regret it. People generally don't see the code, they see a working product. At my current place of work, we did a stroll through my github at the interview, I just

In Denmark, you learn basic control of the car in a closed circuit, there you learn how to work gears, clutch, brakes, blinkers, steering, and then you practice by driving some patterns and have brake-tests, including on a slippery track (a

Thrown together LANs were the best! I remember one we had at an old (cleaned up) barn, it was during the winter, pretty cold, so someone had the bright idea of using an industrial direct fired gas heater/blower thing in there, we sure

Compared to most of these comments, I've not built anything impactful. But the software I've written that seems to have gotten most use is SDL-Ball and the FinalKey password manager. Well, I also built a "digital bulletin boa

Instead of making sure it's safe for kids to walk outside, police throw the parents of the kids walking outside in jail. Only in america.. Downvoted ? Really? People agree that it seems reasonable to put parents in jail for letting the

Another way of getting grain is turning up the sensitivity while lowering the exposure to compensate.. Of course that results in digital noise, which is not visually equivalent but is an artifact of your actual medium. If you don't lik

To be honest, that seems to me like a totally reasonable way of looking at things. Like him or not, Mark is a bright guy and he has a good sense of both his own position and potential.
