The Gathering used to be a demoscene event! Even hosted the scene.org awards in 2011. Looking at pouet.net, quite a lot of famous demos were released there, such as: * desert dream by kefrens in 1993 * tint by TBL(!) in 1996 * rupture by AS

It's an uncomfortable truth that even TG is failing to pull in participants lately, but LANs don't have the critical role in nerd culture they had in the 2000s. I'm happy it still exists and the board seem to be making some d

Recently, every time there's a discussion about single CEOs and/or private equity ruining good things, co-operatives seem to come up. Maybe they aren't such a bad idea. Certainly, for starting a company or org, it seems like

That car, just like the SUV, is more for people who want to brag they own a Ferrari than for people who want a good car. It isn't as ugly as the Nissan leaf (still my favorite practical car!), but it isn't winning any beauty conte

I didn't initially believe these numbers, but if you look at some real life stats, you are probably right. Nominal SECO for the last starship mission was at ~8 minutes and it took ~20 minutes from deceleration started (well, from air r

As a Norwegian I have never needed a Norwegian language model. Doing most things in Norwegian puts you at a disadvantage internationally anyways. Maybe this has value in schools, but wouldn't it just give kids more trust in relying on

The fact that Samsung is kind of famous for just entering new industries left and right, and continuing to produce mediocre products while gaining enough experience to become industry leaders comes to mind. I feel like the blog post could a

I think geohot is somewhat of a clown but I think he is speaking reason here and I'm happy to see voices address this. Most seniors I work with agree.

In hacker culture I think there's a pretty clear culture that proving you aren't interested in the inner circle's identities (and therefore proving you are a mature person who understands what is at stake) is one of the ways

You are right. I just wish we didn't need victims to get change :(

Why are people so obsessed with finding him? As others have pointed out wrt the New York Times article, it will just put him in danger.

This makes me think of "The homer" from the Simpsons[1]. The scope creep is insane. But in this case, I think I may be homer. I may buy this, and feel like a glutton for doing so. Living in Japan I've avoided Flipper Zero due

To be fair, I made a few searches today and most of the results are AI generated "blogs". Getting real information is hard. I'd also give up on the Web if i was Google. It's just a shame their solution is just monopolizi

What I see is a (clever) hack, and GitHub continuing to provide good tools to its users.

One thing i think is missing from this discussion is that the problem is larger than just games, and I wish legislation was wider. It's good that games are used as an example and flag bearer due to wide appeal, but what about other sof

I helped arrange my country's longest living CTF this year. Our CTF is *made for amateurs*, but we always have challenges for intermediate to skilled players and the top of the scoreboard is usually topped by them. It is the compromise

It's a small price to pay to keep political control. Probably not the entire motivation here, but generally countries like keeping their remote islands and settlements lived in because it represents a claim of the land by proxy.

Visa and MasterCard are basically redundant except for international transactions. We already mostly use QR code payments, which is a semi-open standard and somewhat vendor agnostic(with caveats). It works internationally. Japan has it&#x27

Visa is trying hard to take over Japan at the moment and it's painful to watch. I'm really rooting for Pix, because the Visa MasterCard monopoly isn't doing us any favours

Living in Japan, I have a membership because it's a good source of western food at a cheaper price than most import shops. Good bacon and cheese isn't common over here.

Coming back to point out cloudflare is probably the most common way of hiding your servers ip if you are running a greyzone or illegal service, and its useful for running many websites on the same VPS without reverse DNS busting you
