  • Der nude Ossi

  • What are some examples where the more you know about the world, the better it seems?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was gonna specifically pick out biology. Feels like the more you know about it, the cooler it gets to just head outside and look at critters. Kind of like Pokémon, but real.

  • Would it be possible to hack a smoke detector to make it play a little jingle?

    Jump

  • I would guess that the units used in smoke alarms and microwaves generally have integrated drivers that only operate at a single frequency.

    Yeah, you could more easily create a rhythm than a full melody. If you get a few devices, which beep at different frequencies each, you could do a lot more by having them beep in succession and in intervals.

    Of course, this requires that they're roughly in tune, which may not be the case at all. 🥴

  • A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash

    Jump

  • Most developers I’ve looked at would happily just paste the curl|bash thing into the terminal.

    I mean, I typically see it used for installing applications, and so long as TLS is used for the download, I'm still not aware of a good reason why you should check the Bash script in particular in that case, since the application itself could just as well be malware.

    Of course, it's better to check the Bash script than to not check it, but at that point we should also advise to download the source code for the application, review it and then compile it yourself.At some point, you just have to bite the bullet and I have not yet seen a good argument why the Bash script deserves special treatment here...

    Having said that, for cases where you're not installing an application, yeah, reviewing the script allows you to use it, without having to trust the source to the same degree as you do for installing an application.

  • Beauty trends among American conservatives

    Jump

  • Man, I do love when Wikipedia is Just Stating Facts™ and yet reads like the sassiest gossip, because reality is just so dumb[^1].

    Ivanka Trump [Trump's daughter with his first wife] has been described as the inspiration of Mar-a-Lago face.

    Kristi Noem, Melania Trump [Trump's third wife], and Kimberly Guilfoyle have been described as having Mar-a-Lago face.

    He does like to talk about wanting sex with Ivanka, so I guess, that tracks.

    Melissa Rein Lively, a MAGA political worker, was reported [...] to reject "any idea of submission or constraint" associated with Mar-a-Lago face, and that "no one forces me to do two hours of sport a day, to go to the hairdresser every three and a half weeks, to get my nails and eyebrows done, to get Botox."

    Blink twice, if you're being forced to say this...? Seriously, why would you list a bunch of unpleasant aspects, if you're trying to make the point that you don't mind it?

    [^1]: By the way, we do have a great word for this in German: Realsatire – when reality is so ridiculous that merely recounting it sounds like satire.

  • made my first bash file to make yt-dlp easier

    Jump

  • One thing that will become important pretty quick if you continue making these scripts is that it’s almost always better to wrap your variables in quotes - so it becomes yt-dlp -x “$a”.

    Oh man, this reminds me of the joke that any program that's more complex than Hello World has bugs – and folks still don't even agree how to spell "Hello, World!".

    Of course, Bash is a particular minefield in this regard...

  • “Red-haired goddess” figurine from the Neolithic Starčevo culture of Serbia, which thrived from 6200 BC to 4500 BC

    Jump

  • Hmm, the link I posted is just the "1,567 × 1,974 pixels" preview from your link. The original TIFF file wouldn't display in my browser, so I linked the preview. 🥴

  • He's so close to getting it...

    Jump

  • Is it? I work in tech and I would have not a single fucking clue...

  • The bloat is coming from inside the house!

    Jump

  • Man, you have a lot of confidence in your ability to tell Rainmeter apart from Conky, Eww or the like, from just a handful of pixels...

  • Der wahre Engpass: Warum schnelleres Coden mit KI Projekte nicht beschleunigt

    Jump

  • Joa, habe TDD nie als Dogma gelernt, sondern aus der Praxis, also kann gut sein, dass das was ich kenne ein pragmatischerer Ansatz ist.

    Für mich war immer der relevante Aspekt, dass man eben nicht einfach drauf loscodet, sondern sich vorher Gedanken macht, was die Anforderungen sind, was wiederum eine Grundvoraussetzung für sinnvolles Design ist, daher hat mich eure Beschwerde gerade etwas überrascht...

  • Der wahre Engpass: Warum schnelleres Coden mit KI Projekte nicht beschleunigt

    Jump

  • Das entspricht so gar nicht meiner Vorstellung von TDD. Für mich ist TDD, dass man sich explizit vorher Gedanken macht und diese in einer Spezifikation niederschreibt. Die Spezifikation wird dabei in Form von Unit- und Integrationstests verfasst, damit automatisch geprüft werden kann, dass der Code der Spezifikation entspricht.

  • Keyboard latency

    Jump

  • Yeah, so many people swear by mechanical keyboards with a huge amount of key travel, and I never see it discussed that the key travel itself is problematic.

    Jump

  • To be fair, Sarah Bond was in a similar position and is a woman of color, too.

  • LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in

    Jump

  • In the original blog post, it isn't stated as a conclusion that OnlyOffice is fake open-source because they default to a proprietary file format, but rather just as a general dig at them.

    I can certainly understand the sentiment. OnlyOffice is developed by a corporation. It can be forked in theory, but in practice there is no open-source community with the knowledge or developer capacity to do so. So, users are ultimately still reliant on a corporation with a profit motive to not fuck them over.

    Also has to be said, though, that the dig is written as part of the perspective from the author of that blog post, and merely mentioned in passing, too. It is far away from an official statement by the LibreOffice community.

  • Artist

    Jump

  • Yeah, always found that interesting, how a talent can play out in two ways:

    1. You get feedback from the outside that your talent is exceptional and you show it to everyone.
    2. Or you don't get that feedback, you kind of just assume that everyone is as good as you are, and that your talent is not worth showing. By not showing it, you continue to not get feedback on it and may not realize for quite some time.

  • AI advice

    Jump

  • Man, I really hate how much they waffle. The only valid response is "You have to drive, because you need your car at the car wash in order to wash it".

    I don't need an explanation what kind of problem it is, nor a breakdown of the options. I don't need a bulletpoint list of arguments. I don't need pros and cons. And I definitely don't need a verdict.
