I wrote a dos cli simulator that simulated an empty PC and added it to autoexec.bat. The lab teacher didn’t figure it out and wiped every desktop and reinstalled deleting everything on them. I felt slightly bad. Slightly.

It’s actually a well documented issue. For years. You can do a search (at least you could before google turned to shit) and find many similar cases. Even people who worked there through Oops barely could get these things fixed and often acc

Research and curiosity a miles away from “get instantly rich” and “solution in search of a problem” we’ve seen in crypto. Given the context of the original comment this was a response to, you’d have to take things out of context to construc

I joined a large publisher with a specifically created hybrid role spanning two disciplines. I had it written in contract and title. Within a year HR approached me to change it because “it confuses people”. When asked who was confused, … th

Transformers are a primitive we have not fully figured out yet. So it’s perfectly fine to see where this primitive fits. For example, this week several papers on time series forecasts indicate they may have use there. For example they seem

I don’t get why we can’t just define let’s say up to 100 people as private and more than 100 people as public when it comes to chat. The fact that we treat groups with 10.000 people on chat with the same level of privacy as 1:1 or 100 peopl

On trimming fat: It’s bullshit. There’s ~300.000 professional game developers in the industry (not including Indy). They make revenue of approx 350 billion USD. That’s big tech revenue per employee. Profit probably about 450k USD per employ

Let’s jump to the root cause right there - the problem is Russia. Crushing that problem will free up plenty of space and make the energy and food shortages world wide normalize. Screaming at refugees is a diversion, especially since they ra
