I wonder how hard it would be to introduce intentionally faulty memory to QEMU, to emulate what happens when bits flip

I'm a "full stack developer", in that my stack is full and if you try to push any more tasks on me I'm gonna overflow it and start corrupting my own memory

We need a different word for "old computer parts" and "parts for old computers". People use "retro" for both.

Like a Packard Bell 486 is the former: it was made in the 90s.

And a PicoGUS is the later: it's an ISA card that can be used in computers from the 90s, but it was made recently.

You know the whole "defund the National Labor Relations Board" thing that musk & bezos are pushing?

I'm currently working on a project where I'm digitizing old supreme court records, and it makes me think we definitely need the NLRB, if only for how often they were having to sue companies for flagrant violations of labor law.
Seriously it seems sometimes every 3rd case is "Some Horrible Employer vs NLRB"

you know what'd be a cool feature for an image editor?
"export last action as code"

where it looks at the last thing in the undo/redo buffer, and saves it out as a program (in C/C++/whateverscripting) that uses an ImageEditorLibrary to do the same thing

foone,
@foone@digipres.club avatar

so like you go in and adjust the curves and then hit export and it gives you like:

import editorlib
img = editorlib.load('foo.png')
img.adjustCurves(input=58,output=138,curve_type=editorlib.curves.SMOOTH)
img.save('out.png')

@kiwa I thought the thinkpad was more the transfem laptop, rather than the gay laptop.

that said, there is a lot of overlap

The only good thing about working in a codebase that has some vestiges of hungarian notation is that sometimes you have to name a variable "ppProducer" and it's funny every time
