YMMV, but for me the imgur embed was muted. To my surprise, this video has sound.

@El_Heffe said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Old. Funny, but old.
It looks made up though. It is not clear for which variable it should be solved, it does not look particularly interesting to try to solve it for $x$¹, and the choice of parameter names is a bit weird, since $k$² and $n$² are usually names of integeral variables.
¹ I miss mathjax.
² Yes, I really do.

@LaoC
I think you turned left at Albuquerque, and lost me on that one...On a similar note, here's Qtpass being the king of linebrea:

@LaoC Wow I know it's open source-y but imagine not even being able to get linebreaks to work correctly in a text field. Christ.
Go ho me!

The HTML5 video autoplay feature won't autoplay the video's sound, IIRC.

Isn’t that from one of the Myth Adventures books? The one where they discover the heavily locked back door to their “tent” in the Bazaar?

Possibly. Never heard of them.

@Boner Someone has clearly learned a marketing trick from https://www.xkcd.com/2023/

Just ran into a Microsoft “On Site” (I think that’s what he said he was) troubleshooter at my local smoke shop.
I said “If I gave you $50, would you go slap the crap out of everyone in the Window’s Update division?”.
Reply: “I’d love to, but it won’t help. They’re too far gone.”

It's on the Internet. So, there's a 99% chance it's fake.

Why would you say that?

The one in the foreground reminds me of my feral Kabuki. He's taught me a number of comfortable positions in which to sleep.

@masonwheeler Most of those were both hilarious and helpful except the effect/affect one. I used to think I knew the difference but the picture just confused me.

@obeselymorbid I'm sorry it had such a negative
aeffect on you.

That one is more complicated, because affect has that other completely unrelated meaning. And because you can verb effect for greater confusion.
One I understand is how the picture signifies their.

More like Fake Olympics. You'll note that you'll be unable to source this picture from anywhere.

On a second reading, I have reached the following conclusion: the first guy affected the second guy by pushing them, and the effect was that the second guy went in the water.

When you put affect and effect in alphabetical order (as I just did), they correspond to cause and effect.
-
@anotherusername also, as a verb, "effect" means to affect something to produce an effect.

@xaade Films with more than one director are universally awful. Tru fax.
EDIT: unless the two Directors are the "X brothers", then they're ok. That also includes ZAZ because the Zuckers were brothers.
Ok.

@boomzilla Twitter account's protected, so nobody can see that image.
Unlike NodeBB, Twitter actually does auth for images.

@blakeyrat Damn. It wasn't when I posted it.
Was a hilarious video of a dog with what looked like a frisbee or something in its mouth that had a camera mounted and pointed at the dogs face. People and dogs were chasing our hero to Yakity Sax (AKA the Benny Hill theme).

@boomzilla
Here's the DIY version.
-
@loopback0 Yep, that was it. Also, upon second watch, it looks like a ping pong paddle.
-
@boomzilla Yeah, apparently that's what it is.

What about the Wachowski Sisters?

Ok.
Do the Matrix films count or no?

@anotherusername The Matrix films do not disprove this assertion, regardless of the Wachowski's anything.

My answer is shut up.

Sophisticated attackers find bugs in software, evaluate their exploitability, and then create and launch exploits for bugs found to be exploitable. Most efforts to secure software attempt either to eliminate bugs or to add mitigations that make exploitation more difficult. In this paper, we introduce a new defensive technique called chaff bugs, which instead target the bug discovery and exploit creation stages of this process. Rather than eliminating bugs, we instead add large numbers of bugs that are provably (but not obviously) non-exploitable. Attackers who attempt to find and exploit bugs in software will, with high probability, find an intentionally placed non-exploitable bug and waste precious resources in trying to build a working exploit.

@bb36e Yep. Using extremely wrong default values is even a primitive form of this. Making a service explicitly to break other services is a fairly sophisticatedly insane version of this.
Edit: Why is this in the funny stuff thread?
Edit: Oh, this isn't fuzzing at all. I saw something like this suggested as a way to network qubits without collapsing them, once, I think.
Edit: Man, this is a slow burn but the paragraph on "What about DOS" is unintentional comedy gold.

Thus effecting the subsequent annoyance in the second guy's affect. The first man affected contrition, but to little effect.
-
@MZH Also any affection between the two is now gone. They should now effect a reconciliation plan.

Probably this is where Tesla got their inspiration for rear-facing child seats.
