A few times I have told the anecdote that the singly most baffling thing I ever saw in a code review — not the most insecure, just the most “how could a real programmer have written this? how could this ever make sense?” thing — was simply a C++ variable “number_of_trucks” … declared as float. Unambiguously referring to real physical trucks in a fleet.

Reader, it’s been over ten years and I am blowing the gods damn whistle. I had edited that story to protect the guilty: the variable was named number_of_planes. It was shipped by a company whose name begins with “B” and rhymes with “GOING out of business.”

Floats also allow some languages to write cool documentation like “If <language> encounters a number beyond the bounds of the int type, it will be interpreted as a float instead. Also, an operation which results in a number beyond the bounds of the int type will return a float instead.” 🙃

Hi #mastodon.
Give me your favorite freedom fighter songs. Political rebellion songs. Fight the power songs. Stand up and lean into it jams. All genres. Deeeeep cuts and b-sides if you have them. I need things to power me through.

This reminds me of a great short story by David Langford, where a digitized persona of a dead spammer is forced to work to avoid being wiped out. Rather appropriately, it gets assigned to be a spam filter.

Yeah, and I’m glad it does, but monitors with mixed sizes and DPIs, and random applications still create nuisances sometimes. I just had a run-in with ksnip, where it took a screengrab of my middle (primary) monitor, placed it on my left (smaller) monitor, and asked me to select the area of this image I wanted to screenshot. No way to move it back to the primary monitor and see the entire screengrab, instead, I had to discard it, screengrab the full multi-monitor view and crop it.

Huh, is out of beta. Let’s see if their “we don’t need any T&S policies about dealing with tankies” approach holds up.

The customer keeps giving us the credentials in a link to a one-time pastebin. Our attempts to read it keep failing. Can you guess why?

JIRA visits the link in the client’s comment to draw a preview, and the pastebin burns the paste right after. 🤦🏼

(this is not a query for better pastebins)

Yeah… Mastodon has a classic thundering herd/Slashdot problem with each instance trying to create link previews. It has already crashed smaller sites, which I guess is a sign that Masto has made it to the big leagues 💪.

I also wonder why some of these secretbins don’t have an “ask user to confirm before showing them the secret” function, like 1ty.me does. Ah well. I’m sure they have rate limits or something else to prevent curl loops…

Last boost:
I’m now thinking about analogies between consent pop-ups and this old bash quote about IRC file transfers:

There’s also a more obscure bash quote I will never forget, “I compressed my files using md5sum. Now how do I decompress them?”

Oh yeah, my popcorn is fully stocked. We’re also looking into JetBrains AI Assistant, because of course two AIs are better than one.

(Fun fact: we are also trying to get more govtech clients. I can’t wait to see our own remix of UK’s Horizon scandal, hahaha.)

If you see a story “Elon’s new rate limits throttled Japan’s emergency notification bot into uselessness”,

and your loud reaction is “well akchually it is all their own fault for not moving off Twitter”,

consider just fucking off.

Any suggestions for authenticator apps that don’t cloud sync, extract data, phone home to Mountain View, or similar?

Thanks in advance.
