I wouldn’t park a Lambo outside, not in this neighbourhood. I’d come home to find it replaced with a mid range EV that’s tuned for urban stop/start traffic for the bonus green credentials. Really, you just need to start a figurine collection of the former administrator of the Bespin mining colony. And then claim old age for mishearing "Lambo" when someone asks you about it. Or action figures of Sylvester Stallone, and claim your East Asian upbringing causes you to confuse L and R.

@Parody I want a CMS that makes it marginally less painful than writing things by hand. MediaWiki does that but the minute you want to go beyond that it's a clusterfuck. I love how, for example, to properly replicate the sidebar that Wikipedia has, you need to not only enable several bundled extensions but you're writing Lua scripts to do it which get run in a PHP interpreter...

@HardwareGeek Did you searching on PornHub? They got some great statistical data.

Long-lived feature branches are one of the worst ideas ever. Just f... merge it asap, stop developing 3 things in parallel for a month and then try to deploy half of it. Not that I didn't warn them, but here we are. I guess they had to check. So, some time ago, we decided to replace a random UUID with a hash of something else, so that we can look stuff up by that something. First it was only implemented in one place, then I moved the hashing, so that entire system operates basically only on hashes instead of X. Thanks to the new branched approach, change in one microservice (of ~35 at this point) was lost and an old version was deployed on prod. Now instead of hash(X), we have hash(hash(X)) all over the place. Good that we still have the original X cause you know, reversing that would be rather expensive in terms of CPU time.

A long way off... : Nah, just kidding, it's over 7100 pages, ...which Microsoft Word doesn't fully comply with, giving us Wait... Microsoft doesn't follow their own standard? Well, Microsoft's first submission to ISO had a lot of Windows-specific stuff (for supporting all their different versions of Word), and ISO naturally said that such stuff wasn't appropriate for a vendor-neutral industrial standard. Microsoft went away and split their backward compatibility out those 600 pages of "Legacy" @LaoC referred to, and resubmitted the "Strict" part as the standard, with the optional "Legacy" extension. ISO accepted this on the condition that all new OOXML documents adhere to the "Strict" part, with the extension only used as required for backward compatibility. Microsoft said "Okay, sure" with its fingers crossed behind its back.

Apr 20 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive pre-Tokyo WADA has confirmed reports that 23 Chinese swimmers tested positive for a banned drug ahead of the Tokyo Olympics but that it accepted the country's findings it was due to substance contamination. So nice of the WADA to accept the verdict of the completely non-interested party Chinese anti-doping agency that those positives were just contamination.

@pcooper said in Is there a guide to certificate algorithms?: It's also worth knowing that ECDSA uses curves that have parameters hand-picked by NIST Fifty years ago, NIST hand picked S-boxes for DES, and it turned out that they tweaked them to be resistant to attacks that only NIST knew. Today, there's not so much trust that they will be as ethical, especially after they were already caught breaking Dual_EC_DRBG in exactly this way.

@LaoC said in Nope: @remi said in Nope: @DogsB when something is literally orders of magnitude (10x or 100x) more expensive than another variety of something, you can be almost certain that it is not that amount of times better. At that stage, the price difference is purely a marker of "I can afford it" rather than quality. The best status symbols have negative use value, like gold leaf on your dessert that tastes either like nothing or like tinfoil, a Lamborghini on a Lao city street, or a diamond ring that never leaves the safe. We had a pizza place in Sweden in an area where the affluent bought summer homes that served gold leaf pizzas, among other things. Their entire business idea was to get the kids of the super rich to come there to eat pizza for bragging rights, on daddy's dime. And they were entirely open and honest about this being the business idea. I don't know if they still exist, but they hung around for a few years at least. All the ingredients were the most expensive version of what you'd put on normal pizza. For no difference in quality. I think a single pizza was something like €11k

@HardwareGeek you definitely heard of their spin-off project even if you didn’t hear of any of their actual games. Basically, their games didn’t exactly sell massively well (probably because they weren’t particularly good) but they had the bright idea to found a little project to raise awareness of their games by hitching them to other games, and in the process founded Humble Indie Bundle, later Humble Bundle, later the Humble Store.

@Zecc said in Help Bites: Sie haben die maximal zulässige Anzahl an Blinkernutzungen überschritten So maybe there's a horizontal gradient atop the conical gradient? I don't think that's it as I think the seam transitions smoothly from soft to hard. But anyway, your attempt looks pretty damn close. EDIT: wait, maybe yours does that too. Doesn't quite look like it to me, but I'm not sure.
