So I'm currently using "OpenCV University"'s playlist on YouTube to get myself up to speed with computer vision, and this has lead into a spiraling staircase down into the depths o…

...Are you sure you want to push money launderers more into crypto? Cause that's all you'll be achieving using this. Good for me, I'm still holding some XMR :-)

I love browsing cars but got annoyed tabbing out a million times. So I made a chrome extension which lets you right click any image with a UK license plate and see the MOT history …

A lot of the velocity you listed was not as quick as it seems. Supersonic flight is a question of manufacturing processes more than anything; we could always scale engines to make …

If they can paint, then so can I. And it took me years to learn how to do decent stickmen! Either way, we are not going to see intelligent computers in our lifetime, let alone elep…

"Prostate with grief" Many great sopranos quotes to go along, such as.. "Much like a child, a film has many parents".

Not entirely true, Native Interop is pretty good with DotNet https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/native-int... Though I believe it has regressed at least a bit with t…

The Windows Internals series is typically the go-to for what you're looking for. Combine with MSDN browsing to determine what you want to do and how you want to do it.

> until I realized that was their tactic to make sure you don't "steal" credit from them by working harder. Definitely true from a office politics standpoint. And incredibly painfu…

Still helps to know that you have a consistent way of doing it, especially if you do it a lot.

Dunno, I got AWS CSA-P and it never got me any new interviews. Granted I stopped looking and only took interviews from people that looked for me actively.

> because the guy who did it out of hours was away at a picnic or whatever I don't care if he was at home shitting in his hands and clapping. It's not his responsibility to update …

Seems like a particularly grim manifestation of the worst-case scenario in federalism. It would be quite easy for either side to claim that "people died because *the other side* di…

The important part of playing the lottery in this case would be to not play with garbage tickets, right? In the sense that, if you catch a user on any hyper-specific page which see…

I'm not using one! I usually copy something only in the moment and immediately "clear" my clipboard by CTRL + C'ing a single character from some textbox/selectable field :-) For me…

Anything that injects DLLs and hooks into lib functions will have this effect on unstable software that was not written with a comprehensive understanding of how the majority of Wi…

Not my intention; just a matter-of-fact thing. Why hasn't anyone done any better?

I like to rag on WordPress as the next man but I do have to ask - why haven't you done any better? If it's so easy, raise a few million bucks and outdo everyone. Surely? Maybe your…

You in the UK? If so, electric chargers are the way to go :) I got to touch plenty of IoT-type firmware at my previous employer. Current one doesn't deal with firmware but we're pr…

I don't necessarily disagree with using increasing efficiency as a vehicle for survival in this European apocalypse but you need to consider proportionality/scale of the problem. I…
