Last Notes npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 Has nobody done this? https://files.ioc.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/751/209/430/827/150/original/c53b04b4c82b5232.jpeg npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 Thinking about MS Recall: If it takes screenshots every five seconds, that means the event stream that it was intended to sample has a period of no less than ten seconds, or an event rate of 6 records/min (based on Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem) There has to be some popular study or article that arrives at that number, which Microsoft cribbed in the design of its first stake in the ground. Finding that should help understand what the hell they were thinking npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 thinking about how you would get to the attributes on a directory, and immediately thinking of a third reserved dirname to go with . and .. and now my PWD is a quaternion and I’m thinking about interdimensional directory traversal attacks npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 Systemd needs a mascot. i humbly propose an upside down severed Gnu head which has sprouted eyestalks and crab legs npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 I want to say Shadowrun, but that feels like the wrong thing npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 is the book overtly fascist, or a void in which fascist thought can easily spread? I’d argue it’s closer to Roman citizenship than the essentialism of Sparta (and Plato’s Republic) seen through the lens of WWII as viewed from the sidelines. And wrestling with the legacy of WWII is… a lot npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 Anyone who uses awk has transcended language. Perl is just the union of bash, awk, and pointers npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 i feel like there’s a reactionary band of crazies keeping Rails alive like the Enclave. On the other hand, people complaining about Ruby annoys me the same way dumb Perl jokes annoy me npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 for Ruby to live, Rails must die? npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 “Women are better pilots” and “every officer is a mustang” were pretty nuanced takes all things considered npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 1:1 OpenAI jacks up prices and nobody talks about AI for twenty years 15:1 - JetBrains sets off a dirty bomb on Kotlin and sends android devs to Golang 30:1 Google kills Golang and Microsoft writes a drop in replacement for Kubernetes in C# 65:1 Jane Street switches from OCaml to Fortran and nobody ever mentions functional programming again 200:1 Python is found to cause mesothelioma and the only scripting people left are the ones who never left Perl npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 Consent, Harlequin! Said the EULAman npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 remember that Everset ES100 WWVB-PSK dev board i was going g to play with last year? I finally had time to get out my pinecil and get it to work. Things I learned: - i’m still a hot mess with a soldering iron but the pinecil helps - the ES100 takes a while to get a full time frame on boot, like 20-60 minutes, but eventually gets there even in the basement - that’s why the dev kit has a battery backed RTC - the smaller tracking frames will correct drift of up to 4 seconds which with the RTC should be fine - the whole thing comes with two chonky ferrite core antennas to sip that 5km wavelength all in all pretty cool and definitely could fit into a RC2014 form factor with suitable antenna leads npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 Something i think about often is “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” as in a math or physics education will “recapitulate” the history of the subject: Gallilean ball dropping to Newtonian mechanics to Maxwell etc. What would a speedrun of the last 80 years of computer science look like? Compare and contrast with the Feynman physics lectures npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 thinking of that one where Do. tries to fire Pete and he has to eat shit from everyone —Don’s a big boy, Bert. Aren’t you, Don? —Well, thank you. Sir. —Well, there you go! I’m glad we’re all better now npub18zrlgsxl57ecqnd3q99duvpyhxy4teep4vzx4sely983ydljqfrsj706uc AN/CRM-114 as someone who only likes watching Bert Cooper clips, i mainly enjoy seeing Don Draper get batted around by worse characters who are more fun to watch
