I love the warm fuzzy feeling of the internet falling apart because a cert expired.

Did some research for my new vlog, smashing the bell, and naturally a google search turned up this story about Florida man.

It's a good thing I have four camera batteries because I already can't find three of them.

How smart do you have to be to believe the optimal line length for code is the same as for a paragraph of prose?

Before we start the first day of talks @campgnd I took a cup of coffee for a short walk #campgnd

I fixed a bug in the #openbsd automatic frequency adjuster and explained in the commit message how the whole thing work to ease future work on it. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=159084980920194&w=2

I'm quite happy to have fixed something there because I'm pretty bad at C and I rarely look into the kernel code

But as the code was easy to read and understand I've been able to spot the issue.

TMTDR - too many toots; didn't read.

Did you know Gary Ross, director of Pleasantville and The Hunger Games, was named after Glengarry Glen Ross?

I just realized it's Friday. My week was centered around the weather forecast calling for thunderstorms on Friday, but they didn't happen, so I figured it must not be Friday yet.

"Well, actually, colorblind people could see color by holding a prism in front of one eye and observing the difference in refraction."

A 20 video playlist of gaming chair reviews.

Stuck at home with six laptops, but can't find one that's useful for looking at a bug report...

What if chat isn't about the encryption at the end but the friends we make along the way?

I'd like a one way ticket from usability town to flavor town, please.

I like that wikipedia devotes three paragraphs to examining the difficult problem of breaking up with someone by changing facebook relationship status.

Two headless honkers.

I think I underestimated the bitrate required for decent video (or overestimated how good it would look), but then I remind myself that youtube's first videos looked like crap too.

A great time to be a coffee stonk.

Oh, this is cool. shotcut in #openbsd ports. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=159076520528699&w=2

Every time a new #SVN release comes out, comment sections fill up with remarks like "let it die already" or "is anyone still using this?"

This attitude misses a major design goal of version control: longevity

Much data has ended up in SVN repositories since 2005. We still have compatible up-to-date software 15 years on, which runs on any modern OS and is fully backwards compatible.

Is it still a great choice for new projects? Probably not. But that doesn't mean that maintenance should stop.

According to Gazit, Old Navy signed away that possibility when the company signed its lease in 2015, since the lease specifically reads “force majeure shall not excuse prompt and timely payments when due.”
https://www.phillymag.com/news/2020/05/27/old-navy-lawsuit-philadelphia/

My legal specialty isn't force majeure, but I'm curious how effective such a clause is. A rule that says the normal rules apply even when the normal rules don't apply is itself a normal rule, so if the normal rules don't apply it wouldn't apply either, right?

Had to use pliers to remove an SD card from the reader, so that wasn't quite ideal.

Parking authority isn't handing out tickets yet, but they're leaving notices on all the cars that they're going to resume ticketing soon.

Airline left me a voicemail to make sure I'm okay. Not sure what we have to talk about, but at least it wasn't prerecorded. Doesn't feel like an empty gesture the way a bulk email does. They're spending real bailout money to reach out.

Somebody actually bought the USB 5G quantum holographic catalyzer technology shield and took it apart.

Lol it's been almost 2 years to the exact day, finally just bumped the version number to v1.

Nature is healing. Coffee is returning.

Not sure which is worse. The sunny days where I have to go out and run a mile or the rainy days where I have to stay in and do a sit-up.

There's nothing hotter than constitutional lawyer cosplay.

I'm not so sure about this camera now. I took a few pictures of some boxes in my unlit living room and the jpegs don't look like peter lik landscapes.

How many gas stations in Manhattan? Fun fact: in business school, I got asked that exact brain teaser by some company (I can't remember who). "Can I take a minute?" I asked. "Sure," said the interviewer. After a moment, I said, "nineteen". He looked confused. "How did you get that answer?" he asked. I looked confused. "I counted." Presumably he hadn't been expecting to interview someone who grew up in Manhattan, went to school in the Bronx, and spent a lot of time driving around New York with her dad. I didn't get the job. Apparently, they were looking for people who used some process other than arithmetic to figure out how many gas stations there were in Manhattan.

It's kinda besides the point, but I was curious, and found this article which says there are 31 gas stations, but only six below 96th street. Even missing a few, I suspect her answer was much closer to reality than the answers calculated by the candidates who were hired.

But what's the point in knowing things when you can just be smart and guess?

Mark freaking Miller, amirite?

@helby So same issue as mine.

And I just switched to sndio because:
- Everything is simple and clean (protocol/API, config, …)
- Ability to record output + input at the same time on any sound card with just a command line option
- Ability to tweak any application's volume without having to find where the application hid their shit (on webshit it's sometimes nowhere…)
- It has an option to keep grabbing the alsa soundcard for itself, thus avoiding stuff like webkit grabbing it (and not releasing it once they're done)

Also no use for it right now but it's able to work over the network easily as well.

Tag yourself. I'm Seabulk Challenge.

Lol, American Hustle sequel now playing...

A7r ii is here and it's a hefty chonker. Actually, it's probably comparatively light for its class, but it weighs more than my phone does.

Wow, it's a good thing there's no c++ code in Firefox.

If you study my photo compositions closely, you'll see the main subject is always at a ratio of π^2/6.

Make your own 8:1 anamorphic lens for stunning panoramas.

Simplify your development decision making with this one weird trick: choose to believe that all performance differences are the result of the programming language used.

Asynchronous chat latency: it takes me four minutes to reply to lain, but only one minute for lain to reply to me.

Clearly erlang >>> go.

I can never not interpret "how do you take your coffee" as referring to routes of administration

"how do you take your coffee?"
"transdermally"

@maffsie I have the non-stick version that the maker gave me at 34c3 ^^ we used it once in prod actually!

It just occurred to me that even the bitch John Romero made me is now old enough to drink.

Is it Europeans rediscover why Americans have air conditioning season already?

The golden ratio, 1.609, is derived from the number of kilometers per mile and represents the natural beauty of the synergy between traditional and metric measurements.

I've decided my personal unit of measure for file sizes will be MmB, the megamillibyte.

I like how Sony made a youtuber camera and literally every youtuber now has a review of it. With so many review samples sent out, is there anyone left to buy it?

Fingerprinting online users by the presence of "thez" typos in their comments.

I had no idea the Pacman ghost behavior was this involved. I never played the game much, but just figure it was all kinda random.

Comments left under videos or in live streams that contain the words “共匪” (“communist bandit”) or “五毛” (“50-cent party”) are automatically deleted in around 15 seconds, though their English language translations and Romanized Pinyin equivalents are not.

YouTube of course has no idea how this happened.

Apparently the Librarian does, on occasion, teach.

"We could build an even more decentralized alternative to mastodon with activitystreams."

I think this is the place to watch for fediverse e2e encryption, if you feel smart today read through it and leave a comment https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/13820

This HN thread about mastodon probably has more whiners complaining about the censorship of gab than gab has users.

So I'm hunting for a particularly nasty progress-blocking bug, and see something that's so obviously wrong... ​

​ This must be the bug I'm looking for ​

Well.. no. It turns out to be a very dumb luck type of a bug ​ which went undetected because it had no real consequences at all... ​

#EuroBSDCon 2020 has been cancelled . It was planned to be held in Vienna, but there are no surprises as to why it won't go ahead. Hopefully it's back next year.
