After the second time someone obviously doesn't even think about what I wrote and continues to blather on with the same irrelvancy they're committed to hammering on, there's not much point to continue. Have fun with your FYI

Agreed. In less...anatomical...inspiration, there's a guy in Chicago who took this idea straight to the fine art phase: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/11/11/pothole-...

Ah... these security issues are perfectly cromulent because my shiny new magical beans language let's me screw up in brand new ways , not the old and busted boomer screwups. New is always awesome.

Just so we’re agreed that that is what is objectionable here. I never said a single word about painting the pothole; I think it's a clever hack. I should have tried that when we were negotiating with the city about scheduling our mu

There were prototypes. The Cardassians never get it right the first (eight) times.

This was exactly what I thought of when I read the headline. Very amusing at the time, and it somewhat unsurprisingly was effective. I lack your laudable sense of decorum, so I'll post the link... https://www.cbc.ca/ne

This is just a dressed up way of saying "I don't care how the road crews work or who else they might be helping, I want them working on the problem I care about". You don't know if the crews are working on bigger prob

Around the same age, I went to a 'gifted student program' as well, and they had a Teletype connected to the school systems mainframe (pretty sure a Univac 1100, but it was a long, long time ago) by an 110 baud, rotary dial modem.

You should have stuck with the 'My bad...' and left out the eye-roll inducing humble brags and inscrutable non-clarifications. But what do I know...I've only been an infosec practitioner since the early 90s...I'm sure &#

Not sure what you ran through your LLM to produce that text, but it's not readable as English.

It wasn't hugely useful unless you also bought/built some sort of mass storage. Fortunately, Heathkit sold a paper tape reader! And a cassette tape interface! And something new and expensive called a 'floppy disk',

You could put a terminal on an H8 and not have to use the hexpad. Lot's of people built one from the TV Typewriter Cookbook by Don Lancaster (or one of the similar designs floating around then). Knew several folks with that setup.

As an email admin a few decades back, there's just a tiny bit of difference between "my corp or school has a mail server and holds my email and an admin could look at it" and "Google and a tiny number of other companie

"I would like to subscribe to your newsletter" is an old neck-beard way of saying 'I really like what you're doing there' from the before time. The humor probably got lost over the years. But seriously, thanks for

Much of my experience with corporate counsel is one of 2 extremes: "keep everything "[1] or "keep nothing ". Keep everything, because then you can't be caught out deleting something possibly relevant, which looks

You could probably do something interesting with Tek 4014 emulation, but I think you're right that sixel would be slick.

The people supplying this technology explicitly want it to tell them what their serf are doing. There will be no "honest but anonymous informing of upper management".
