The whole process was deep magic to me before I watched that video. It didn't seem less magical after I've watched it. More so, if anything. Asianometry[0] has a number of videos o…

well... 1) GoL is turing complete 2) there are algorithms that calculate digits of Pi or e. so... yes? but if I just took any old Pi-digits algorithm and encoded it on GoL, its app…

One step closer to Managed Democracy. It's an idea from a video game where AI is spying on your life 24/7 and infers who you would vote for so you never actually need to (or can) v…

why not solve it with bash then, just put #!/path/to/your/venv/bin/python as first the line of your script, done/done

> ZFS is notorious for corrupting itself when bit flips That is a notorious myth. https://jrs-s.net/2015/02/03/will-zfs-and-non-ecc-ram-kill-y...

Nvidia drivers are not open source. Nvidia has open-sourced the kernel module "driver", which recently have been declared stable enough for general consumption. But the kernel-mode…

I hear ya, that sounds familiar. The amount of deliberate damage anyone on my team can do is pretty much catastrophic. But we accept this as risk. It is appropriate for the environ…

The abbreviated story I told was perhaps more dramatic-sounding than it really played out. I didn't just say "Nothing." mic drop walk out :) The client was satisfied after we owned…

I agree. I didn't want to add a wall of text for context :) And that was the only time I've said something like that to a client. I was not being confrontational, just telling them…

A personal anecdote: One of my guys made a mistake while deploying some config changes to Production and caused a short outage for a Client. There's a post-incident meeting and the…

Honorable mention of ATI Radeon 9600 that was soft-upgradeable (via hacked drivers) to 9800 PRO for a 200% perf boost. Good times.

Apparently not. In my first attempt I've actually deleted the directories altogether but later wanted to scan a system manually and I couldn't repair the installation and get WD to…

I've tried once but windows tries really hard not to let you do that. My Windows kung-fu is rusty these days so the Linux method seemed neater.

My preferred way of disabling Windows Defender is to boot Linux, mount windows partition and rename windows defender directories to *.disabled or whatever. Example (assuming it is …

There is a name for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model

Mandelbrot set calculation is a curious intersection of math and computer science. I went down that rabbit hole once :) Naive implementation is easy, but there are many ways to imp…

Oh, wow. This is beautiful. Thank you for this music discovery.

I had these two dual-18-core xeon web servers with seemingly identical hardware and software setup but one was doing 1100 req/s and the other 500-600. After some digging, I've real…

Wow. That's pretty insane. In a positive way :)

He probably meant this fork https://dosbox-x.com/

I've witnessed a few sustained (hours/days long) DDOS attacks that were straight up extortion: owners contacted with "give us money or we will keep your site offline". Most of the …

cheesecutter apparently also supports dual sids: http://chordian.net/c64editors.htm

Oh, wow! Such a compact cpu routine! Thanks for the link. I wrote mine in C too and it's basically a 1k line switch statement for every 6510 instruction :) I went the extra mile an…

To be fair, nobody called c64 music "chip music", it was just "music/tunes" because c64 music is really just code so in a way all of it was chip music (excepting some digi tunes). …

> also the 6510 CPU and even some of the C64's CIA timers yes, but also the VIC timers and the PLA. So basically you need all of the c64 chips emulated, at least in part :) I wrote…
