In better news our IT guy is complaining about someone watching 720p60 youtube videos on the company vpn slowing it down for everyone
YouTube is not blocked?

Autoreformat. Done.
YouTube is not blocked?
Not at this moment in time. I suspect this is likely to change.
-
YouTube is not blocked?
Or they could just set up their VPN so only work-related data goes through it and not YouTube.
But either solution takes slightly more effort than bitching.

Status: Doing a diff against a new release of an external library to merge their latest stuff around my heavily modified version.
Found this improvement:
--
return ((ulong)fooIntThing << 32) |(uint)(barShortThing);
++
return ((ulong)fooIntThing << 32) | (ulong)(long)(barShortThing);
Two-for-one on casts today or something?

Status: Wondering how the zero-width non-joiner is neither a control character nor whitespace
TIL.
I don't find it that odd that it's not whitespace, we have the Zero-width space for that.
It does fall in the "punctuation" class though.

I looked it up in the Unicode charts; apparently is a 'formatting character'.
Guess what type of character .NET does not have a
char.IsXXX()
method for?
-
I guess since it doesn't print any whitespace (it's a non-printing character) but it also doesn't signal the terminal to perform some special function. It's mostly used to control the display of text in languages which use ligatures, meaning it controls the way other characters around it are displayed. I suppose it's a bit pedantic but I can see the reasoning behind classifying it like that, since control characters map to actual actions (e.g.
BEL
orLF
) and whitespace actually prints white space.

Unless it doesn't: see zero-width space.

Okay, but nobody can explain the existence of that. :P
It actually does affect whitespace, but does not create any in and of itself. Wikipedia has a decent writeup of its use/purpose.
-
Mine will be better. Probably.
If it ever really goes anywhere, I might try selling people licenses or something... or release it open source. I really have no idea yet.
My latest issue is to do with app capabilities: I have to allow the editor to copy a file somewhere from somewhere else, and my current 'somewhere else' is my onedrive, which is supposed to be explicitly supported when you tell it it needs access to documents and pictures. Somehow, I just get access denied. So for now, changing the background is hard.
In any case, it's rather fun even if I don't use it a lot.

wondering why "Special Instructions" is given only a single line.
When I was trying to do a return with Lenovo (DOA), they have a call-back form on the web (so you don't have to wait on hold). The description (multiline, big box) field was limited to something like 50 chars. So much for describing what was wrong... terse, baby, terse!

Well fortunately, C# has extension methods so you can just add it. Yay.

Also, good god, did you modify your DH params? Holy shit. 4096-bit DH? That's going to be slow as fuck! 2048-bit is recommended for speed purposes...because it isn't nearly as computationally expensive (and is still very very secure)...

Status: Signing up for a new LinkedIn product beta called "Profinder". Might end up leading to freelance work. Who knows.
They're using radio buttons as checkboxes, so already I have some comments for their beta test. LEARN HOW TO UI, MORONS!

-
I think it's the two instances of Dwarf Fortress using up 100% of the CPU and RAM and the MilwaukeePC that makes it slow, not anything with the DH params.
Also:
-
But do they open modal popups?
Not yet. I did hit the back button (too see if the radio button on the previous question were actually checkboxes, and do a multiple selection-- they weren't, they were radio buttons) and it went back too far.
-
Well, yeah, but there's no point in having it. Especially if your ECDH params are P-256 based which is technically "weaker" (equivalent of about 3072-bit RSA or 3000-bit DH), and most browsers prefer ECDH over DH because it's faster anyway.
It's like having a 60 character alphanumeric + symbols password instead of something like an 18 character alphanumeric + symbols password.
-
Most of my passwords are 63 character ASCII printable. I use a password manager, so I don't have to remember them.
