Oh haha, just seen the reply below mine that has a link to the photos of the printout... Interestingly, the large F3 appears to be a batch number for the print job, so it's just coincidental that it's the same as the first byte in

This sounds like the start of a science fiction story where you find yourself transported to a parallel world...

The trains themselves have different colours though, so it's not too bad. Personally, I think the stations themselves are a bit too dark and hide any train that's at the station once the trail disappear. But overall, I think this

I'm surprised that they admitted that their cost to produce the phone in China is $550 and they sell it for $799, while the cost to produce the phone in the US is $650 and they sell it for $2000. That's a 45% markup on one and 207

I think maybe you should re-read my posts too, because it seems you misunderstood what I wrote. "Surely discussing the motivations of those who act deceitfully is not itself deceit." suggests that you are arguing about a totally d

Stuff like "Alongside the changes in browser styles, page auditing tools like Lighthouse now flag cases of <h1>s without defined font-size as bad practice." make me pretty certain this is the wrong change to make. HTML is ab

Lying on your CV and in an interview isn't a "sober assessment of the incentives and dynamics of a system". It's deceit.

> It's entirely possible for a company to have a broken enough hiring process that no-one legitimately has the list of skills that the first line of CV filtering is pattern-matching against. This is still based on a false assumption

by ralferoo 2y ago
This still doesn't justify lying to a potential employer. If your CV won't get you to an interview, then you don't have the skills they are looking for. Aside from lying, you have other choices - spend some time working on pe

Not everyone lies. To say everyone does is just lying to yourself in an attempt at rationalisation. Tell the truth. If you perform poorly in an interview, you now know where your weaknesses are. Work on them. Do a hobby project that lets yo

If you've spent 7 days so far and got as far as "F3", I wondering if this is actually some kind of elaborate troll. At the rate of one byte per week, you might finish transcribing the 4K ROM within 8 decades.

The argument is that if the many (maybe the majority) of systems are sending packets with a TTL of 64 and they don't experience problems on the internet, then it stands to reason that almost everywhere on the internet is reachable in l

Except, in the extreme example I cited from the article: "Obama has 255 ways" and "Romney has 1 way" At that point, Romney had to win every remaining state to win. Florida was no more important than any other state that

Just looking at that "512 paths to the white house graphic", and I'd argue that it's more confusing than useful. Why is Florida at the top? Consider the point where it's "Obama has 255 ways" and "Romn

This reminds me of many years ago when I was backpacking around Australia. For whatever reason, I was wandering around a smallish town around 10am on a Sunday morning and ordered food from either McDonalds or Hungry Jacks (aka Burger King).

Sure, but I was asking about the "'nt'd" at the end of all that. As a British English speaker, I can't even guess what verb they're trying to say that they wouldn't / couldn't have done.

by ralferoo 2y ago
What is the "nt'd" in supposed to be short for? "y'couldn't'v'nt'd" to me sounds like "you couldn't have unted", which is true as I've never "unted" anything in

"farrow"/"pharaoh" is more than easily distnguishable - to me, the first vowel in these are nowhere even close to the same - I use "a" from "apple" for "farrow" and "ai" from

There are guys who ride around swapping the batteries in public rental bikes too - they send an alert when the batteries are low and a guy just drives around swapping ones near his current location. The batteries are small compared to what

by ralferoo 2y ago
Maybe, but that only really works if you have a battery leasing concept - like e.g. Renault Zoe. Otherwise, you're swapping something you "own" with something that may be of inferior quality. Would you really feel happy havin

If it helps, I'm older than you and grew up on 8-bits and then progressed to the Amiga. I played games, but even as a kid, my real interest was always programming - I'd usually rather be coding something than playing a game (for m

For me, I think the biggest issue with large scale deployment of HTTP 3 is that it increases the surface area of potentially vulnerable code that needs to be kept patched and maintained. I'd far rather have the OS provide a verified sa

I've been interested in the Mandelbrot set for years, and years ago on the Amiga, I calculated hundreds of frames off line for a zoom along a path of a Julia-ish set and stored on the harddisk and played back in realtime. Until seeing

As per the article: "The biggest difference between the two boars is that the Orange Pi RV has a 1.5 GHz StarFive JH7110 quad-core processor, while the new Orange Pi RV2 has a an octa-core Ky X1 chip with a 2 TOPS AI accelerator."

If you're using HTTPS, then you're probably using letsencrypt and so your subdomain will appear on the CT logs that are publicly accessible. One thing you could do is use a wildcard certificate, and then use a non-obvious subdomai
