XTL,

Even Freecad is well over a decade old. Opencascade is over 20.

XTL,

It’s a classic excuse now. Let’s you do set any law.

XTL,

A survivor.

XTL,

Reading out the window at a museum actually sounds like a fun thing to do together.

XTL,

I think that there is a massive gap between competitive sports (almost inherently toxic) and massively online games (juvenile masses combined with lack of moderation) and, for example, speed running and challenge games or tabletop and board gaming which are all likely to be more wholesome and positive even if there is a competitive angle.

There is probably more visibility on the first side. Maybe because that’s where the money is. And I very much agree that this was a nice story and I hope there will be more of this kind of inspiration shown in public.

The point is that an HTTPS request does not need root permissions. Other steps might, and that’s indeed high risk.

XTL,

Glass can do that with internal or external stress. One of the reasons I absolutely hate it as a material.

XTL,

So… what does one ride a storm out with? On?

XTL,

So, have they found the Bigfoot in the code?

XTL,

Well, they’ve probably been markets for some hundreds of years before they dug a parking cave underneath. Old cities especially get increasingly cramped with time.

XTL,

Clearly yes

Does "Rock music is evil / of the devil" have racist roots?

As a Christian most of the circles I’m around are pretty chill…no stone-cold fundamentalists. But I have been around people (and even had family members) who are 100% convinced that rock music is evil and will lead people to engage in witchcraft and draw pentagrams all over their home....

There is an answer to any question that is simple, quick, and wrong.

No. I’m not Clear enough to remember.

Though this reminds me that I remember getting my first skis. But don’t remember learning to ski in particular. Skis and snow has just always been there. I think I know where they are still today.

XTL,

Arcade games or handheld or video games didn’t have any storage. Even on old home computers if you’d want to program in a save feature, you’d need to instruct the user to change to a fresh cassette for save. Then back to the game tape for reloading the game. And rewind and find the save on top of that to load.

It took a long time before floppies became ubiquitous, even longer for hard disks.

XTL,

Let alone your only archive solution.

Largest Study of its Kind Shows Outdated Password Practices are Widespread (www.cc.gatech.edu)

“More than half of the websites in the study accepted passwords with six characters or less, with 75% failing to require the recommended eight-character minimum. Around 12% of had no length requirements, and 30% did not support spaces or special characters.”

XTL,

That’s probably about correct, horse battery staple.

XTL,

“Quack, damn you”

XTL,

You know there’s tons of real chips out already and more coming all the time?

ARM is as much just a spec at heart.

XTL,

It does take some time to get going and a few stories are pretty dense. But it’s also a good re-read, especially after reading some notes about the things you missed the first time around. There’s a crazy amount of detail and characters.

The artwork is also legendary, of course.

Whinge Thread Question: What's your most hated trope in Movies at the moment

I was just watching the Neopoleon trailer and releasied I have hit my limit with these stripped back orchestra hit covers of modern songs that seem to want the audience to do the Leo.gif about halfway through https://feddit.uk/pictrs/image/bd412591-cec6-414c-886a-d3bc6b60b62d.webm

XTL,

It’s the new time travel.

This fast food order kiosk accepts cash (mander.xyz)

All the McD*nalds in my area have been upgraded with order kiosks. Regardless of all the controversy around self-checkout, and minimum wage, and automation taking our jobs, I personally love them. I can take my sweet time composing my order, I can see the full selection (such as it is), I can see pictures and prices clearly...

XTL,

And if you live in an even remotely functioning society that’s a bad part that’ll never happen unless you deliberately refuse help.

XTL,

It might be doing the PWM in software somehow, making it useless for this kind of control.

You could see if there’s some other class or library or option or particular pin that can use a pulse generator or timer to do PWM instead.

I’m not really familiar with the exact environment but that’s just what comes to mind.

Is “harvesting” small amounts of electricity a fools errand?

Serious question from a beginner in electronics. For reasons I do not fully understand, I have become fixated on the idea of collecting small amounts of electricity from “interesting” sources. I don’t mean “free energy”, instead, I mean things like extracting a few mV from being so close to a AM radio tower using two...

XTL,

I’ve heard teachers telling the same story, but so it happened locally in a different country entirely. Sounds like a scare legend.

XTL,

And in a pretty short time it will be a vandalized heap of very difficult garbage.

XTL,

Almost anything is better than the alien
