I posted a web log thing!
It's niche and stupid. If you use JFrog Artifactory and a Red Hat-based Linux and want user-specific credentials for use with dnf, I know how to do that and you can too:

In retrospect, we should have figured out that Jia Tan was a plant from the fact that they showed up to do releases. In 20+ years of contributions to FLOSS projects I haven't found anybody willing to do the same.

@colin_mcmillen @bagder wait, you can dump the config without authentication of any kind, which includes the devices password hashes, and somehow you can just pass those hashes back to authenticate to the device?
No, that all tracks with the sophistication of this “fix”.

✅ don’t store passwords in plaintext

We need to STOP running DOOM on new things
and START putting new things into DOOM.

For example, today I added micro-transactions to the original game. Any time you pick up an item, the game freezes until you make a payment.

opening DOOM from the command line. start a new game. immediately walk to health item. when the character touches it, the game freezes and a QR code pops up. I scan the qr code with my phone and a credit card payment UI is displayed. I enter fake credit card details, hit submit. A second later the web page on the phone says "Payment Complete" and the game on the computer resumes.

For rainy days we have a treadmill but it's locked into the vendor's subscription service if you want to watch videos.

Except...tap the bottom left 10 times, wait 7 seconds, tap 10 more times, up pops a number, use that as a seed to generate a number with lrand48, reduce modulo 999999 (not 1000000!) and type that number back in, and now you have an Android tablet with web browser and access to YouTube.

@dpiponi @tsrono moving safety-relevant car controls from physical things in their expected places to a touch screen is evil and should be outlawed. I learned how to drive a fairly generic car. That’s what I’m qualified on. It can be manual or automatic. It cannot have the fucking wipers controlled by a submenu on a touchscreen.

Dreamt that Adidas's first product was a tractor called the Adidas Robust Muscle and that they still sold them in Europe. I'm my dream, I saw one in a museum. Adidas got into the footwear business after designing a shoe for farmers.

The least enjoyable part of coding is getting the IDE setup, the folders named, the correct libraries installed and trimmed down so they have what you think you will need.

If the language is java then the least enjoyable part is deciding if you want to store a number as a float or an int (formatted if you need decimals) ... then always changing your mind and having to go through and fix the numbers so they work.

I know python is lazy, but strict typing still feels like a drag to me.

c0dec0dec0de,
@c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io avatar

@futurebird @phryk reminds me of some Python code that has flummoxed the C++ devs I was working with at the time.
“It doesn’t round consistently! Sometimes it goes up and other times it rounds down [on .5]”
Me: “so, statistical rounding? It does that to prevent systematically biasing your data away from zero. Use this other round function instead of the one built for stats and data.”

c0dec0dec0de,
@c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io avatar

@phryk integers and fixed point are faster generally and some hardware lacks native support for floating point types — yes, even now. Some ARM chips have a full barrel-shifter letting you bitshift (divide or multiply by a power of two) for free at the end of another operation, but only for integer types.

@dr2chase @futurebird @phryk “For values exactly halfway between rounded decimal values, NumPy rounds to the nearest even value. Thus 1.5 and 2.5 round to 2.0, -0.5 and 0.5 round to 0.0, etc.”

@dr2chase @futurebird @phryk actually, we may have just done lambda x: floor(x + 0.5)

Trying to git clone in the terminal and github asks for my username and password and then tells me support for password authentication was removed in 2021. What the hell man

@wez @MLE_online you can clone public repos over HTTPS without any auth still, if you’re getting prompted for credentials on a public repo you probably have a typo.
This advice doesn’t apply to your case where you authenticated successfully though.
