I hope all those devs who went "I don't need to optimize, there's plenty of RAM" are going to get slapped with complaints about bad performance because the software runs like shit on new computers whose RAM size traveled back to 2015

10년 전 소프트웨어 마에스트로 과정에 지원했다가 면접에서 떨어진게 아직도 큰 상처로 남아있는 것 같아

자바 소스 코드에서 주석 라인 수를 카운트하는 과제가 나왔는데, regex로 풀었더니 면접관이 한숨을 크게 쉬면서 '이렇게 짜면 안되는데...' 라고 꼽을 줘서 면접 보고 나서 건물 1층 화장실 변기칸 바닥에 웅크려서 30분 넘게 울었던 것 같아

컬러 그레이딩 하기 이전에는 캐논 컬러 사이언스가 편리했는데, 지금도 좋긴 하지만 예전보다는 필요성이 줄었다. 3년 뒤에도 캐논이 사진에서 뒤져 있다면 소니로 갈아탈지도 모르겠다.

„Chtěl bych uklidnit všechny běžné občany tím, že dnešním dnem v České republice skončila klimatická krize. Nevím, jestli to uklidní také aktivisty, kteří klimatickou krizí žijí, ale klimatické krize je over,“ řekl Petr Macinka po převzetí resortu životního prostředí. irozhl.as/z7F

닷넷으로도 HWP 파일을 처리할 수 있는 라이브러리를 만들 수 있지 않을까 하는 오랜 과업 (?)을 생성형 AI, 그리고 훌륭한 Java 버전의 구현체를 만들어주신 neolord0 님의 컨트리뷰션을 바탕으로 .NET 10용 프로젝트를 착수하게 되었습니다.

현재 테스트 통과율은 40~50% 수준이지만, 일단 모든 코드를 기계적으로 포팅시켜서 시작점을 만들었다는 것만 해도 기쁘게 생각하고 있습니다.

이 일을 가능하게 도움주시고 지금도 꾸준히 커밋을 관리해주고 계신 neolord0님께 다시 한 번 깊은 감사, 경의, 그리고 존경을 표합니다.

WOMEN OF LEMNOS

When the Argonauts arrived on a humid and sunny day to the island of Λημνος (Lemnos), they found it a desolate place: no males were to be found. Jason and his companions were informed that the women of Lemnos had killed all of them; fathers, husbands, sons. Some time ago, a strange frenzy had motivated all males to travel to Thrace, abduct women from there, make them their spouses and bring them back to the island. All native women responded with violence: the massive killing was one of anger and jealousy and outrage. Jason, after begging for an elaboration on the cause of that frenzy, was told that the men of Lemnos had accused all women of heresy because of an awful smell emanating from their private parts. Finally Hypsipyle, queen of Lemnos, explained that the hideous odor were given as a curse to women by the anger of Aphrodite, offended by their lack of offerings and worshiping. The Argonauts stayed in the island for a long time (even years, according to some sources) and cohabited with the women of Lemnos; we can only guess that by then the bad smell was gone or that it was not that awful after all.

There is an apocryphal saying that the women of Lemnos stopped worshiping Aphrodite because they were dreaming about a bunch of handsome men on a fancy boat that were to arrive to the island on a humid and sunny day.

Today in it's the venerable ssh(1)/sshd(8)

While I grew up in an age where telnet(1) was my only option, the ssh folks made it a pretty drop-in replacement for the sorts of things I did with telnet, so switching was easy.

With the exception of when I'm rebooting or our ISP is having issues, I almost always have at least one SSH connection open and likely more than one connection to other hosts. Even in the "security" of our LAN in the house, I still SSH between machines rather than use unencrypted connections for transfer.

I love being able to run things remotely and use them locally, such as

$ ssh me@remote dmesg | xsel -ib

to put the remote machine's dmesg output on my system clipboard or

$ tar czvf - /path/to/data | ssh me@remote 'cd /destination/path ; tar xzf -'

to transfer a directory tree to a remote machine.

It generally has sensible defaults, allows me to force key-based authentication rather than username+password auth.

It allows me to limit $DAYJOB customers to SFTP-only access within their designated chroot directories, insulating them from each other.

I use it to tunnel into work and forward my RDP VM's screen so I can access it locally with rdesktop(1)

So many delightful little uses.

Definitely worth reading @mwlMichael Lucas :flan_set_fire:'s SSH book to learn more: mwl.io/archives/3126

Ich bin barely ein Jahr in Wien und ich kann mich jetzt schon über diese ganzen Provinz Österreicher mit ihren schlechten Öffi manieren aufregen.

Könnt auch dran liegen dass ich aus der Provinz komm und weiß dass das einfach deppate scheißheisln sind weil man sich da auch nicht so aufführt.

Extra lore drop: this intersection is what got me interested in urbanism in the first place. I thought to myself “why haven’t these lights been turned on for a year? How would I find out what’s needed for this to happen?” I actually never managed to, lmao. But that’s what sparked my interest

社群上的資訊帶來的干擾之一:

這裡目前沒這個困擾,
但我的臉書名單原則上只加生活中實際認識的人,
最寬限是即使還沒見過也確實知道是誰的人。
剛剛又檢查一遍刪了好幾個,
但看著總數還是一千出頭,
好讓人焦慮,
雖然說,
當然不是每一個都會花時間真的去交際,
但一想到我的生活中其實有這麼多人是
有機會需要交際的 (還只是一部份) ,
就覺得人生好累。

作為一個常常思考人活著應該要幹麻才有意義的人,
面對這樣的資訊時感到很高壓,
一般人聽起來,可能是奇怪的煩惱,
但今天醫生確實幫我把安眠藥的劑量加重了,
雖然是不同的原因,
但每天起床張開眼卻常是一樣的感受啊。
近期重新換了一家診所,
這個醫生好很多,
至少是比較能接住患者的情緒,
希望療程也確實會好很多。
