Iirc you can create custom syntax highlighting formats for notepad++. So if it’s not there by default, someone else might have made a file for it, or you can start making one yourself, as the format was easy to understand. It’s been like a decade since I’ve used it, but it should be somewhere in the menus.

Japanese?

Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?

They might be ragdoll type cats, named that way because they tend to flop and relax when picked up instead of trying to regain control or aceept it but hate it like other cats.

Yeah, I have a curiosity about how things work and it has allowed me to acquire a broad set of skills, including the skill of learning skills. Kinda lucky living in the internet age where so many things are much easier to learn than they would otherwise be.

I think a part of it is that when I learn something, I want to really understand it. It makes me not so great as a teacher, because I end up going into way too much detail (because those are what helped me learn), but it gives a deeper understanding that allows me to improvise on what I can do.

It also has shown me the value of people who understand how multiple specialties can fit together, especially when I go in only knowing one and can experience the shift from “why do they want this thing that way? What a silly requirement.” to “oh, ok, that makes sense, you need that to do another important thing I didn’t even realize was necessary”. And the best is when, now that I have some understanding of both sides, I can see a better solution that accomplishes both goals and makes everyone happy.

Actually, it’s the best for a little bit, until it’s time to present the idea to multiple teams working together, because if it’s a change, a lot of people aren’t interested, they just see the work to implement the change and not all of the other work that becomes easier or unnecessary after that’s done, so it can be frustrating.

Lock down their accounts so they can’t even install shit.

Was it multiple monitors or multiple systems? Can’t see if there’s another keyboard and mouse there in front of the one behind him. Though I suppose it was all supposed to be mainframe terminals (running Linux in the movie, which I’m not sure had a mainframe version, as I understand, it started as a Unix for desktops, where Unix was the mainframe OS).

Edit: the Linux thing was my own bad memory, Lex recognizes Unix, which is weird because it was an experimental unix filesystem browser UI and most kids wouldn’t have access to machines that run any kind of unix, so it wouldn’t have been a “I played with some computers in my garage” kind of thing. Though being Hammond’s grandkids, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that she did have access to a mainframe either through Hammond’s companies or from access to universities and the like.

Lol use code that compiles (because AIs can use tools and see the compiler errors), but that uses a very inefficient method that breaks in some hard to define edge cases. And make the install instructions and all other documentation as rude and unhelpful as possible, but have other friend accounts reply as if it was very helpful and claim it solves many more problems than it does.

Edit: improved wording

Wow, that “new” (or maybe poorly reported would be better) info turns the whole story around. Protographer is a bit of a piece of shit for fighting it so much for what now seems to amount to a brag about either knowing which house was hers or that she lived there.

I wish there were consequences for those who misrepresent stories like this so much. Same with the mcdonald’s dangerously hot coffee lawsuit (though at least that one seems like the truth is more prevalent than the pro-mcdonald’s spin that used to be the popular story).

Oh yeah, the bit where SSDs move sectors around for wear evening is important. Because of that, it’s possible to completely fill up an SSD after deleting files and still have those files recoverable from the flash chips themselves. Without that secure erase, as I understand it, if a sector gets marked “bad”, whatever data is there might stay there forever (or at least as long as the cells hold a charge).

So there’s no benefit to writing multiple passes over deleted data on SSDs as far as the flash is concerned, but multiple passes might make it more likely for the controler to actually direct those extra writes to a sector actually storing the data (though the odds might be low unless you’re overwriting all free space, though even that depends on how much space is free vs how many “spare” sectors there are, and even then it might be impossible to get it to write to a sector marked “bad”).

Is that still the case with SSDs? I understood it to be a property of magnetic disks, and only possible because the drives can be disassembled and then read with a more sensitive reading head. I can’t think of a way to do that with flash circuitry unless it’s already designed to do that.

Some tabs are for ongoing things that I keep coming back to, though I don’t have as many of those these days. Like back in the day, I’d have a facebook tab, a few reddit tabs, etc.

Other tabs are for things that I’m not done with in general but was done with for that moment because something else came up or I just wanted to do something else and the task wasn’t urgent enough to stick with it.

Sometimes I get back to it, finish the task, and close the tab. Sometimes I’ll later see the tab and just close it because I decide I am done with it forever (or done enough that I can find it again if I want to go back to it).

I like it better than not keeping my tabs. Though I did disable the inactive tabs thing on mobile firefox because those were too out of sight and just piled up (along with the ambiguous behaviour where sometimes backing up closes newly opened tabs, sometimes it doesn’t, or I don’t back up all the way). Mobile tabs feel a bit more like bookmarks, which are more likely to just disappear entirely from my mind. Visual tabs serve as reminders of the thing.

Accidentally dismissed the alarm.

Prediction: in a decade or two, there will be people complaining about this guy going political when they realize he’s not being genuine here.

Yeah, who the hell associates macs with higher competence? Before the 00s, I associated mac users with stumbling on the worse option but not realizing it, after the 00s, wanting to follow trends and/or overpay for hardware to seem rich. They’ve always been form over function, and simplicity over power, which are things that novice uses look for, not more experienced ones.

Or maybe more experienced ones when most of those experiences went badly and little was learned.

Lol they haven’t moved on to C+++ yet and probably have no idea what a super pointer is.

Not the best idea to plug it directly into the socket either, unless your home has surge protection built in. Dunno if that’s even a thing.

Ideally plug it in to a UPS with an isolated circuit so that it acts as a surge protector, filter, and battery backup.

Yeah, for looks, I’m not sure valve could stop a customization market from popping up even if they wanted to. Case in point: search for “steam deck custom shell”… Ugh, wasn’t planning on customizing my deck, but some of them look pretty good. I bet the steam machine will have ones that make it stand out and others that make it blend in with furniture.

One has a function that takes the next node as an argument, another just sets that up in a loop. Personally, I found the loop one a bit easier to visualize and debug via stepping through code, though admittedly the difference isn’t huge.
