  • Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’

    Jump

  • There's a book called Catch 22. Looks like the made a movie of it. The book is the funniest thing I've ever read. Made me think about how crazy fighting is. Sort of like a funny Slaughterhouse-Five.

    Neither mentioned illegal orders as far as I remember. Was the movie quite different?

  • Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift?

    Jump

  • I think time wasn't super kind to it. And I don't remember how clear it was in the movie that Scott's just not a good dude. My memory of the story is that the core is: Scott is bad. Scott accepts that. Scott starts doing better. But maybe that's just my headcannon.

    It's a good lesson though! Just because you were bad doesn't mean you are bad. You can change. Life isn't a simplistic video game. It's a lesson I've needed from time to time.

  • Massacres of Black People, there are more

  • This image from the Wikipedia page is great.

    Certainly hypole comparing it to the Hamadian massacres. Still. Good image.

  • They're great at making us look very cool

  • JD Vance has changed his name multiple times over the years

    Jump

  • It's weird I said "men" here. In the US women usually change their names once and men never. But adoption and grandma and going by initials are all changes I've seen and understand.

  • JD Vance has changed his name multiple times over the years

    Jump

  • The story reads as totally normal. Not many men change their name that much but, "I want the same last name as my grandma who I love very much and not my second dad who I don't talk to" feels right and good and maybe even sweet. The man's a monster. This is fine.

  • Fuck ICE is the rule

    Jump

  • I heard someone reply to that argument once with, "ask The Taliban". I'm not sure I agree. But it did make me think.

  • How important are the actors voices when determining if a movie is bad or good? Could changing the voice of an actor turn a really bad movie into a good one?

    Jump

  • Would we remember Batman the Animated a series without Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill? Maybe.

  • If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • I worry it would have fallen off. Now we can always dream of what could have been.

  • Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?

    Jump

  • My what?

  • What is it with websites restricting passwords to 8 - 16 characters? Is there some technical limitation to their system??

    Jump

  • I've always wondered about Unicode normalization and passwords. I don't know a ton about it, but I think it's that things like ö and be represented as one character for the whole thing or two, one for the umlaut and another for o. That means that there are at least two sequences of code points that make the same... Glyph? I forget the word. The thing you see on the screen.

    Anyway, what if you have that ö in your password and one browser/keyboard/os/lovecraftian nightmare makes the mark one way and the other does it the other way? They aren't the same bytes. So they won't hash the same and you just can't tell why. Without digging super deep.

    There are standard ways to normalize the Unicode but I don't imagine most password systems use them. Maybe it's some intermediate layer. But I kind of doubt it. Those are complex, evolving standards.

    Oh. And that "evolving" thing might make trouble for password systems. Are these standards backwards compatible in the way they'd need to be for a normalization upgrade not to break any passwords?

    Oh God, what nightmare have I found?

  • Brandt said he enjoyed being a meme, and he did frequently use the catchphrase, although he did say that his high school English teacher would not have approved of his usage of "ain't".[6][20]

  • Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open-source

    Jump

  • I imagine it emulates all the system calls. It sure would have been easier to copy bits from Linux for that. But you don't have to. Wine sure didn't.

    I probably should go read the code and not guess.

  • I turn off biters and play on 100x research because it's calming.

  • Good News! Redis is Open Source Again 🕺

    Jump

  • I worked on a project that was open source and then not and now is. The commhnity is gone. Maybe it's just because we're older.

  • Take the win.

    I mostly just use GitHub for work. I don't think the social media bits matter.

    Except stars. I've been told investors use stars as a proxy for interest lately. I see how bots these make a lot of sense.

    All this bots stuff reminds me of an off hand part of Anathem. They had this historical arms race of garbage spread on their internet. There's these monk folks who have been fighting it for generations. I thought it was sill years ago. Feels sane now.
