It seems entirely possible that the business plot succeeded, just with someone other than Smedley Butler as the figurehead. Despite Smedley informing congress of the plot, it seems no disciplinary action was taken against the conspirators.
Doesn't a crusade, which I think it was, imply a set of strong beliefs not a dispassionate analysis of what might be the case? David Berlinski's 'The Devil's Delusion - The atheism and its scientific pretensions' offers some serious counter arguments.
I agree it's a good watch, however they're different antennas.

It sounds more like Windows has a denial of service bug? I'm not sure how this is Hisense's fault
So I could just DOS every Windows PC in my local network? Sounds more like a Windows issue
I used both Win95 and Win98 and i don't remember crashes with the OS itself or most "software" to be much of a thing, even though i was already doing some programming (mainly Delphi) on it.

I do remember games causing tons of issues, hard locks and "endless" BSODs where trying to recover just had you enter another BSOD - so you had to restart the computer and sometimes the FAT would be corrupted (but it was always some game-related thing that got corrupted).

Windows 3.1 was way more unstable IME - that is an OS where i did lose work, but Win9x, at least when it came to applications, was much more stable and you could often recover.

Though i think system stability also heavily depended on your PC, there were a lot of shoddy components during the 90s that created weird compatibility issues which manifested as BSODs or other weirdness. Fortunately that stuff seemed to improve dramatically during the early 2000s.
ZX81. It all started with you buddy. Sad to see the end of an era.
To me interactivity is the core element here. Platformers can only be interactive. There is nothing about a visual novel which has to be interactive, in fact the interactivity is usually limited to a few branching paths (although more involved VNs do exist).

I think it is fine to count them as games as long as there is some interactivity, but that obviously puts them at the outer edge of what games are.

To get back to the point, I think a visual novel should be eligible for a literature award, but that is because the interactivity is inherently limited.
Hahaha! :) Which words would you have used a thesaurus for? I don't see anything that complex there.
Huge problem: CPS will arrest the parents for allowing their children to walk around the neighborhood. When I was a kid, I went all over the neighborhood, made friends everywhere. Today, that's not possible. Karens will call the police, and the government will fine the parents, or worse take the children away.

One thing I still use root for on Android is to enable the Keepass2Android USB Keyboard extension to work - this enables me to plug my phone into a computer which I don't want to put my password database on (eg friends/family machines), and have it emulate a USB keyboard to type my passwords directly from Keepass2Android rather than laboriously copying long randomly generated ones by hand.
> The root cause is the TV generates random UUIDs for UPNP network discovery every few minutes. That means it poses as a new device. This caused windows to add it to the device list (Device Association Framework, aka DAF) as a new device. This means now 1000s of devices (which is the same device) filled the device tree causing it to enumerate forever. Thus the "deadlock".

Why is the TV pretending it’s a new device?
Looking at this from a distance is interesting.

Starts off, issue 4: our hero. He did the impossible thing now we should pay him

Next issue (3?): this is not a unilateral decision

I could ramble about this for hours
> Understand how procrastination works; as they say, know your enemy. Today there’s a lot of literature you can easily access.

What literature helped the author? SMART goal setting? I don't think treating yourself like manager treats an employee is a universal strategy. There are multiple forms of procrastination that have different causes.
TempleOS is rather unusual for a hobbyist OS is being written in its own programming language.

There are people who develop their own operating systems as a hobby. There are people who design and implement their own programming languages as a hobby. For a single person to do both, in the one project, is actually pretty rare. Most people find trying to do both, together, is biting off way more than they can chew
const connection = try http_server.accept();
defer connection.stream.close();

This pattern of reaching into the returned struct's internals is so weird to me. Why not just connection.close()?

Unnecessary Use of var

Sounds like yet another case of "this should be a warning instead".
It's not that different from divination, lots of people latch into those ideas too.

In the end Terry just found a faster source of randomness.

Even as a non-religious person, I think that was one of the most relatable aspects of him. He really wanted to communicate.
Well, props for fixing the problem. But the problem is Windows, not the TV.

I wonder what to take of this. Use Linux? Or at least set your home network as "Public" instead of "Private" (clearly a workaround, not a solution, because then (s)he would need to enable RDP on Public networks.
Verifying license compliance is not "unprofessional", it's literally the opposite. Work in industry long enough and you will be see it's a good thing when people are up front about licenses and pro-active about ensuring it's not misused.
We can see a positive edge to that, it's like Mac address randomization, if you can't know the UUID of your TV, how can someone else know ?
Same, but I keep my LG c1 connected to internet just to be able to turn it off from HomeKit. Never using its “smart” features though. Apple TV ftw.
But the method of fixing doesn't say anything about the severity.

If the breaks on a Tesla don't work but it's fixable per OTA it's still worse than a less severe bug that needs to be fixed in a garage.
We've had this before: a very long time ago the banks tried to do the same thing, and there was uproar and legislation. If I can find out the name for it I will post here.
MuPDF has a dual license. You can pay to use it commercially. To me that seems the best of both worlds. The project and developers get a revenue stream and the open source community continues to benefit from the code.
My advice 4 years into my engineering career is to work out, sleep a lot, eat good good, see your favorite musicians at festivals, read the Dune book in the sun at the beach and enjoy your free time with friends and family.
I have the skills to pull this off in a year or two, but would get bored after a month. Actually doing it is super rare and very admirable.
>Focusing on the content as opposed to the label, why do you not think that these are games?

As I mentioned above, to me interactivity is the core element. Certainly a VN can have interactivity, although that is usually limited so I would put them at the outer edge of games. If it has no interactivity, then I wouldn't count them as a game though. A picture book is not a game.
I'd have told his 20-year-old self to stick with college too. While I'm 100% convinced that you don't need a college degree at all to be a great developer, the barriers you'll find to landing a role, getting promotions, getting compensation commensurate to your experience etc. will all be (unnecessarily) way more difficult.
> Oh you will. It'll be that time you passed on an early job at a company that went on to IPO, or the project that went sour despite your best efforts.

I’m only a bit further into my career than the person you’re responding to, but this sounds truly depressing and (personally) incredibly unlikely. I’ve been in the situation where I was offered a spot at a company which later got acquired for a few billion dollars. I barely ever think about it, and when I do it’s simply as a “huh! Life is weird!” kinda thing. It’s not something that weighs on me and never has been. I really can’t emphasize enough how little of a regret it is.

Maybe I’d feel differently if I was worried about becoming fabulously wealthy, but that’s always seemed like a fool’s errand to me. It’s much easier to be happy if you just aspire to have enough money to take care of yourself, your family, and at hopefully contribute to your community a bit.

Totally agree on the interpersonal stuff though.
Some American suburbs are set up in the way you describe, but in my experience they're a tiny minority. A simple test is whether or not kids can walk to school. If not, how are they able visit their friends from school who don't live in the same development? Are they safely able to walk or ride bikes, or are they isolated by car infrastructure that makes them dependent on parents driving them around? It sucks not being able to visit your friends.
That was not a compliment, just reporting the way btc is used.

For a regular human in the real world they will make very rational economic decisions in their best interests.

If the ATM fees are taking 20% of my money, of course I'm going to look for alternative systems of payments. If I can't use my Russian Rubles, of course I'm going to use BTC.
"But apparently, making up ports is addictive, because today, RFC 1700 and the Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) have defined no less than 1,023 official "well-known ports," and many other unofficial ones to boot. And those are just a subset of a grand total of 65,535 ports."

Do you know how your firewall works? I run physical ones. The OS on your Mac is basically wide open. An "ip" "domain" "url" can all change, you own the ports...
It’s both.

It shouldn’t be creating a new UPnP UUID every few minutes. That’s clearly not good behaviour. However it does also highlight a denial of service in Windows.
> it seems that a large part of the point of the OS and the programs that shipped with it was as a way of “talking to god”

That was just a personal interest of him, and something that the rest of the internet latched into heavily.

I personally remember him preferring to talk about technical stuff whenever possible.

Unfortunately he failed to find communities that wanted to talk about his preferred flavor of tech with him. The more I type those messages the more I remember: he just wanted to chat and drive attention to his OS.
Yeah it's like we're currently stuck in a local minima in regards of environmentalism, and we can choose to go forward and try to improve using technology, or go backward and improve it by impoverishing ourselves.

I'd argue that our actual minima is around 1950s, which means we are halfway forward to be able to geoengineer ourselves to a better earth than if we're not here at all. But it may be a futile hope.

Ok sure, but the point about autonomy and exploration remains.
TVs became a nightmare… is there really no market for pay 1000 more and get a non spyware, repairable tv? I know the answer. Same as with buying away ads. The greater fuckery makes more money even than the rich people plonking down money.
The earths magnetic field traps charged particles (mostly protons and electrons) from the solar winds into large donut-shaped belts around the Earth, well outside of the extent of the atmosphere.

It's these particle belts which filter cosmic rays (gamma radiation) and as the magnetic field fluctuates so too does the spectrum of high energy gamma radiation that makes it through the charged particle shielding, which is further filtered by the atmosphere.

You're correct that there's no direct magnetic transformation of the incoming gamma spectrum, I was casually referencing the very real indirect effect.

No indeed, democracy is the group collectively deciding about their conditions. A democracy doesn't necessarily implies elections and officians, that's only one form.

The whole point of a democracy is that people are the priority, all else is a tool for furthering the betterment of society. That a company can decide how it works without input of its workers means it has stopped being a tool and is now an end in itself; that's progressively leaving the territory of democracy.

Anything worth coding is worth coding at least twice. Do spend some time thinking about the problem before getting into it, but writing the code is often the quickest way to understand which design questions you need to ask yourself.

Just don't be afraid to throw away your code. It helps to be quick at typing. It's common to hear "typing speed doesn't matter, I spend much more time thinking than typing", but I find that colleagues who are slow typers are more eager to push on with the first (flawed) attempt.
It is. Always has been.

I confess I spent a decade+ calling it "cutie", though. To this English native speaker, it's more intuitive that way.
> Sounds like yet another case of "this should be a warning instead".

Agreed. There should at least be a way to turn this into a warning during development.

That's just because your metric for success is different. I consider someone who was able to pay their bills and do what they really care about well everyday for 10 years far more successful than the person who did a passing job at something they didn't care about but were able to afford a house or whatever.

My advice is do what you care about and make sure you won't go broke. If you're good and lucky you'll have that opportunity. If you're extremely lucky you'll do better financially.

The new riddle of induction, perhaps? You can dodge that by choosing suitable priors, or using heuristics like Occam's Razor, but then what justifies those?
I think you're right for the wrong reason.

I don't think it's because people do and don't have preexisting employment, it's because people feel they can become "creators".

The metrics have turned from hits to followers, to enable a constant stream of monetised opinion and product placement.

I'll be the last person to say they shouldn't be paid for their work, but I think it has hurt our collective creativity that we focus so hard on how to become a celebrity and sell our audience to advertisers. I miss the days of relative anonymity on New grounds. I guess that has moved to Roblox but even that's poisoned by cash.
No, thanks. I don't tolerate rudeness. My case is closed.

There's digital signage displays (like the ones you find in airports, shops, practices, etc) but those are only sold to private entities, not direct to consumers, if you can score one of those on ebay, but you'll get no warranty obviously and energy consumption might be higher and missing fancy picture and processing modes.

Or just buy a normal TV and never connect it to the internet, what's so hard about that? Cheaper than paying more and getting less for a digital signage screen.
Yeah, it' a sad state of things. Since there's no real money in screen readers, no one invests enough to make them better (e.g. to work with highly dynamic interfaces). Since they don't work in a lot of situations, people are disinclined to implement features that don't work well with screen readers. It's almost an impasse

First one being the problem with my Sony KDL-60W607B since day 1 (the youtube app is a pain in the butt), otherwise though it doesn't has too much sparkles and whistles it has been great this 10 years I've had it. I wish you could do something like swap whatever it has internally with the OS to switch it to a Pi or something like that - not something like a Chromecast or an external dongle that would require (1) another power socket, (2) another remote control and (3) switching back and forth between TV input and HDMI input.
I know ME got a bad rep, and I'm sure it crashed often for many, but for me it was by far the stablest 9x, and I really didn't have any issues with it. I really switched to 2000 (which was great) because I went with a dual CPU setup.
Sorry, saw your answer just now.

And you think that those fine granularities are really needed?
Even moreso, I'd recommend bodyweight exercises and long hikes. Humans aren't quite built to do repetitive heavy lifting movements. We're built to jog, to climb, to pull ourselves up a tree or wall, and hike long distances.

This data is everything I remember when I see the whining messages on Wikipedia about how they desperately need my money. No, Wikipedia, you don't need more donations in fact if you get less money you might be better off.
Yeah. Super Socket 7 was a great platform. Plugging cpu's from different manufacturers into a common socket, a choice of 3rd party chipsets, wide range of cpu speeds / TDP / price, and good longevity.

These days sockets are shortlived & each manufacturer has their own. Or cpu's (and even RAM) soldered directly onto a board so you can't upgrade anything.
LG TVs you can set your country to “Other” and it generally disables all its telemetry and upsells etc.
> it lets the people set the rules, then gets out of the way and lets people do their thing.

"Forcing people into jobs they don't want, working on things they don't want, forbidding tpem to talk about it, all because they need money to eat and have a roof" is not letting people do their thing.

The whole point of a democracy is that the people are the priority; everything else is a tool to further the people's lives. Companies must be tools to make the lives of people, both outside and inside, better. Otherwise when it decides to do what it wants with no counter-power it is not furthering democracy.

Remember: businesses are not people.

You should see those emails before you make such comments. I had only asked them why WASM builds were taken out of the public repository, the dev just assumed I was using Mu and told on me to his secretary!?

No. Once moving an object keeps moving unless there is force that pushes it.

There is nothing in space to apply force on particles. One would also presume these tachyons don't interact much with regular matter, like neutrinos
Pretty sure Mac randomization is part of the ipv6 spec, and our Apple products have been doing it for years now. The tv can do whatever the heck it wants because if it’s not this thing malfunctioning it’ll be your toaster. Anything concerning networking needs to handle bs like this and not fall on its face. My question would be why are windows installs tracking every device on the network? Sure file server discovery, etc, but why’s it storing them long term, esp if it is overloaded with them, why would it not be setup to do LRU or otherwise purge records. Seems silly to store entries until you have a critical failure.

Why? Why are we blaming the guard who is trying to stop the hoard from destroying the city rather than the hoard which is destroying the city? Companies need to behave ethically and if they dont know what is ethical I'm sure they can afford to have some philosophers on the board. And if they can't afford that, that still doesn't absolve them from their unethical behavior. I refuse to participate in this blame shifting mentality, as if companies have no other choice but to be unethical.
