I saw an interesting video on the same topic last week. By Brian Haidet (AlphaPhoenix) on reversing the GOL - it turns out that NP hard is hard! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8pjrVbdafY

I had a run-in with the BOFH in real life many years ago as a university student where he was working. I'd messed up something network-related on a lab PC, and noticed that the NIC was now in promiscuous mode for some reason. I did a b

Damian Conway's https://metacpan.org/pod/PPR module defines a regex (in the commonly used sense) that can match perl source code - including perl regexes! Edit: "The PPR module provides a single regular expre

That version is missing some of the text. At least the paragraph starting "Perhaps I should explain to you here that although John Landy has". A bunch of other copies I found were also missing that paragraph. I found an audio vers

I use a Glove80 keyboard, and even after 4 months I'm not back to my normal typing speed! This has cost me a fair bit of productivity, and was stressful at times. Almost feeling like I'd suffered a bit of brain damage, where I cou

I found a post mentioning "SuperBallistic Common Lisp" from 2015, perhaps that's where you remember it from. > SBCL goes SuperBallistic! I have hacked together an SBCL port for the IBM BlueGene/P supercomputer's

Before I used a password manager, I used three random word phrases, but with the first word lowercase, the second upper case, and the third (chosen to contain at least one of "aeio") with tr/aeio/4310/. This gave ph

That looks neat, cheers dankco! I think there is a lot of room for these lightweight text-first systems. I use a simple homebrewed system for my notes too, https://github.com/d5ve/noop which is just a search/edit

I figure that most humans alive today are the round-faced, more sociable, less aggressive strains. We've domesticated outselves because those more sociable and able to get along with their fellow humans have more children with better s

I've worked remotely (with a 12-hour time difference!) from a home office for 3.5 years. Initially my wife and daughter were home much of the time, but for the past 1.5 years it's been just me, as my wife is working part-time and

I think of online advertising in the same way as I now do smoking in a workplace, pub or restaurant - I can't believe people used to live like this. Using someone else's browser and seeing the distracting and intrusive ads feels a

One thing I've found useful on linux is the following: $ tail -qFn0 /log/dir/* This will (q)uietly tail all matching files, initially printing 0 lines (n) from each, and (F)ollow any renames/reopenings. It's great when you have man

promobay.org resolves to 108.59.2.74 for me, and www.promobay.org resolves to 108.59.2.75. The first is blocked for me on Virgin, but the second works fine. This does look like a DNS issue on the part of TPB, rather than Virgin blocking pro

One thing I've noticed with Agile projects at $work is that the processes better suit a "contractor" mindset, than a "fulltime employee" one. NOTE: I'm a fulltime employee, so view things from that mindset. As a contractor (in theory), you'
