Well, I'm curious now — macOS users, are you a "developer" and do you have Finder set to "show hidden files"?

@fasterthanlime Back in my Windows days I used to see all hidden files (even “system files”), but on *nix systems $HOME has so much dot-garbage I found that unusable. (Also on present-day Windows with cross-platform developer tools installed, I’m afraid)

Like others mentioned, I know the Finder shortcut for when I need to see them, but I’m far more likely using Terminal or VSCode in those occasions. (I also know the Go-To shortcut, in case I need to jump to ~/Library)

@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.

You know the "one dimensional thinking" trope, where people run directly away from falling/rolling objects, rather than run a small distance to the side?

I just saw a letsplayer do that in a space game! With full 3D movement!

In deep space, they realize they've over-accelerated, and are heading towards a small satellite 13km away at 500m/s. They go "oh no, I'm going to crash into it again!" and slam on the retrorockets.
To slow down.

Am I misremembering, or was there some cryptographic system where you could set up a container and have two keys to it, each of which provided a different file with no way for anyone to prove the other file/key existed?

ie, if the authorities forced you to decode it, you could give them the fake key and they'd only get the fake contents, and they couldn't prove that you have another key which reveals other contents?

Edit: it was truecrypt/veracrypt. Thanks!

@foone a few years ago I made a game that shipped on a very limited number of USB sticks. If you played it with the USB plugged in, it would play the actual game, if you copied the folder off and removed the USB it launched into a different B-side version of the game. I think adding encryption to something like that would genuinely be really cool

Telling children they are living in a dying world is an essential evil we don’t really have terminology for. Children cannot fix your sins through shame and abortion of hope. You are the villain in their story, not their savior - peddling nothing actualizing change, only dred.

    A discussion from Tumblr about my Brazilian Pride Flag Conflict re: VGAPride got reposted on reddit, and it's hilarious how different the reaction is.

    So many people there are like "why are you having this problem? MS-DOS? just design the flag in inkscape or g*mp! why would you want to design a pride flag for DOS?"

    It's real sad. They just don't understand why anyone would write software to display pride flags on DOS.

    And not because the republicans were lazy and just put a blue circle with the sky atop the former Brazil empire flag, no, that surely couldn't be it

    I have just finished reading the Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells.
    I thought it was great and now I have a hole that wants to be filled (hurr) with something similar.

    It’s the combo of fast paced action, humour & sci-fi/space that I liked. Also nice it wasn’t a sausage fest, and had queer characters too.

    Andy Weir’s stuff is similar when it comes to pacing & humour for me. But I’ve read it.

    Any suggestions please?

    How your views on programmers progress in InfoSec

    1.) Developers should know better
    2.) Developers are users too
    3.) They are paid to much to be absolved of sin

    The programmers don't create the security policies.

    Worry, rather, about the knuckleheads who don't understand the insecure messes in the name of Convenience.

    It's been my experience the programmers understand the problems they're creating - they were explicitly told to do it that way.

    muß man eigentlich die doofen Pressetexte der Bahn einfach so weiterkopieren? Ganz am Ende kommt zwar die Klarstellung was hier mit digital gemeint ist (nämlich quasi die letzte Meile zum Signal, Weiche etc.) aber man kann beim Text den Eindruck gewinnen, daß es bei der Bahn bisher völlig vorsintflutlich analog mit Seilzug zugegangen ist, was ja nun wirklich nicht stimmt.

    Ne Zuse Z3 war ja auch kein Analogrechner, nur weil sie mit Relais funktioniert hat.
