EDIT: There's a typo in the alt text. It's supposed to read "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll design a keyboard.' Now they have two problems"
One of the biggest security expertise redpills is this is unironically a good idea and the time spent making fun of it was ill-advised for most users whose physical security threat is not a factor in comparison.
Overcoming the incentive to dunk on “users” behavior is an important element in maturing your security understanding. You have a set of levers to pull. Human nature is not one of them. Deal with that or be a righteous failure.
if I had a lot more time I think I might write a book on my ideas about "adversarial automation".
The idea that the point of computers is to help the humans do their job faster and easier, and sometimes the computer or the software on it is the enemy in that battle.
@fasterthanlime why would it be a compile time error? The idea with moving is that you move out the resources from the handle, the move has to leave the moved-from object in a clean enough state (so that the destructor can succeed) - you are free to reuse the handle for other things after that, you only can't expect it to have any reasonable value just after the move, until you repopulate it with something.
Das ist ja den meisten Menschen dann zu links und nix passiert.
Mir wäre das zu wenig. Pro Kopf gibt es eine Höchstgrenze für Wohnraum und Eigentum an Grund und Boden gibt es per se so nicht mehr. Aber die meisten denken ja auch Urlaubsreisen und nen großes Haus wären Grundrechte 🤨
Idea: a USB-controlled gun, but the USB protocol implementation is the most cursed part.
Any ideas? I have a better one, but I'll start with that it's a USB printer class. Every time you tell it to print a page, it fires
I'd like to tell a quick story about successful troubleshooting.
A few months ago I rented a scissor lift to install lighting at my new office. When it arrived, the delivery person gave me a quick demo and off he went.
Well, when I went to actually use it - the lift went up by about a foot then stopped and screamed beeps of terror. It was broken!
But the display on the control read "18"
Rather than call the rental company, I searched "sinoboom fault code 18" to see what that meant.
@TechConnectify This!!! I work in IT, and while I appreciate not everyone is knowledgeable about IT, so many seem to lack even the beginning of any troubleshooting skills at all - not just when it comes to computer related things. Might be the reason people so often tell us there is "an error", without specifying any of the information that is right there - they don't seem to get no one has an innate knowledge of every problem and how to fix, but that there is a "process" for it.
Maybe we need to set it up as a contracting thing. "Hey, do you build kinky machines? are you afraid they're gonna hurt somebody? Hire KinkQACo to do a safety assessment!"
As former software QA myself, I would also sign up right away.
I can see the application now... "As a former QA person and current kinky asexual, the one thing that excites me more than anything else is working out the kinks in your kink devices!"
Or the company advertisement...
"Kinky AF and ready to help you debug your teledildonic devices. BugChasers LLC - we catch 'em all, so you don't have to."
So I just got back from a Menards run and I've noticed something fascinating:
Menards has always had a lot of store brands. But they're really pushing a new food brand called Marcella. Stuff like coffee, jams and jellies, prepared foods, sodas, etc. A lot of it is fairly unique - I bought a maraschino cherry cola on a whim and it was pretty great!
The weird part? They're pricing this in-house stuff higher than name brands. The soda was a tad more expensive than the Sprecher's next to it!
@__head__ Like another answer mentioned, it's delicate when you lack the requisite skills to validate whether a solution makes sense or not, but I would recommend using chat interfaces to even know what to search for.
@fasterthanlime I used to enable this setting habitually, in the hope it'd facilitate some kind of "discovery". Once or twice it did, I suppose.
After a decade and a half in macOS-land and longer still in UNIX-esque settings I'm familiar enough with where things go, and enough of a terminal-dweller that it hasn't felt worth the (small) effort do to it in a few years.
@fasterthanlime I don’t have it set by default in Finder, but I do in Terminal. If I need to see hidden files in Finder, for example to get to the .ssh dir to add a key to an FTP app that doesn’t show it by default, I’ll hit Cmd+Shift+. and it will display. Hit the command again to hide.
