@tripplehelix I think it's one of those days that feels colder than it is :(

@cymplecy It's 14C here, I'm comfortable at down to 17C and up to around 22*C. Without the wind and rain, it feels nice.

How many different -xx dev boards is too many?

@cymplecy I'd say once you hit 100 and don't sell a product, you have too many.

@tripplehelix phew, my friend is well below that limit :)

Okay linguists. I was just taking the spent coffee out of this device in my kitchen and it occurred to me that calling them coffee grounds might be an awkward English expression. How do we call the spent coffee from this device in other languages? Like, it's coffee or ground coffee until you use it and then they become coffee grounds at least in this part of New York State English speak.

@queencitynerd

Here in the midwest and south, it's the same. They're ground coffee until you use them, and then they're coffee grounds. Can't speak for the west coast.

So team at the Museum not that enamoured at my choice of self curated stairwell exhibition. I thought "Director's Choice" nailed it as it did what it said on the tin. But no. What do we think of "Stairway to Stories: Exploring Tūhura's Treasures"

iangriffin,
@iangriffin@mastodon.nz avatar

@libroraptor Fair point about Directors and I do like the stairway idea. :-) Although has to be said an exhibition on a staircase is a nightmare for accessibility!

I find Dawkins’ meme theory to be quite useful in decoding just about everything that’s going on. So, have memes colonized AI space? Is it possible to craft a meme that would, if it were conveyed to the AIs, totally fuck them up? Like the ST episode where Kirk paralyzes the computer sentience? Sorry, don’t recall the title. Or like Mars Attacks? Or Independence Day? What kind of meme would it take?

qurlyjoe,
@qurlyjoe@mstdn.social avatar


Re-reading this, it may sound like I am attributing actual sentience to the LLMs and whatnot. I don’t mean to—not yet anyway. But purely in terms of the statistical processing going on, along with sourcing all the raw input from the internet (GIGO?) what would it look like for a meme to emerge and propagate there the way they do in meat brains?

Is the worst side effect of that it's taught entire swathes of developers to do things in ways that are the most complex, least performant, and least likely to serve their customers? Or is it something else?

Has anybody asked about why her uncle paints his face orange? When did he start with that? He must know people ridicule him for it. For that matter, has anybody, in all the interviews that have been done, asked him about it? There must be some kind of reason for it.

@qurlyjoe it’s ironic that Republicans are so against drag queens given their candidate obviously spends hours every day in ‘hair and makeup’.

So somebody has reported an issue through your responsible disclosure program.

If the report is eligible for a reward, what is the preferred way of transerring the money? Is that i.e. PayPal or a different platform?

#askingforafriend #responsbiledisclosure #bugbounty

ChickenPwny,

@kkarhan @thijs you can use almost any option really some people pay in econ, you can wire the money to your account, PayPal venmo

ChickenPwny,

@kkarhan @thijs typically we can trust companies with bank stuff. It's not like they could find you if they wanted if you commited crimes. It's also good for your branding as a hacker.

So, I gotta ask... is #AdventOfCode a thing in the Fediverse? 🤓

Is anyone counting down the days already?

Just yesterday, a kind stranger took a look at my solution to last years day09 challenge to help me find my obvious mistake 😅
