Since ICE List is a MediaWiki site, it can have an API. I asked various AIs to write a web app that would scrape and mirror the data on the ICE List wiki. The AI made a fast, bare-bones interface to the cloned data. I prompted it to make a

Not being snarky, but if you believe that, then you clearly are not an artist.

If it's not normal, then we can't extrapolate generalities from it, either. It's just an anecdote. One dude's anecdote. On the internet.

We used to call "solo poly"... "single".

The cinema industry in general is woefully way behind the curve in some respects... Cutting edge in others (like security).

No, the projector is never connected to the internet. It's connected to a cinema server. In the case of Sony, it's always a Sony server. This is not usually connected to the internet either. Instead, the usual topology is to have

It hasn't changed much. Most features are still delivered on drives. They're just too damn BIG otherwise. Keys are sent separately, and are valid only for a certain date-range, and for a specific cinema server. In this case, Sony

This is the most likely, yup. The certs are unlikely to have a precise end-of-year expiration. It will be whatever the expiration is for the last certs loaded. 10 years in cinema IoT, here. Features are encrypted by Key Delivery Messages (K

And here's an Emacs org-mode compatibility layer to make writing your own D&D-style campaigns or handbooks even easier (if you grok Emacs): https://github.com/xeals/emacs-org-dnd Written around the same DND-5e

Same. And since I chose the SDF instance, I went ahead and finally got myself an sdf.org shell. A new toy to me, though it's been around since 1987.

Yah it does. Pretty fast too! Mastodon I think suffers from running on RoR. Lemmy is written in Rust.

Having run a Mastodon solo instance for a while now, I disagree on several points... Mastodon has very few federation blocks built-in. Truth Social and Gab are about it. In both cases, the defederation is mutual , because even those two ce

Interestingly, I've found Lemmy to be surprisingly engaging and active after just a day of Reddit Migration. Sure, there's still a lot of "Reddit sucks" posts, but certainly not all, or even close to the majority. I was

Biases because that's how I learned, but yeah... I agree. Learning C will help you be a better programmer in any C-like language. C forces you to think like a programmer. Once you grasp that, you can learn most other languages with rel

It's a marketing term rendered meaningless by the marketers. Even those who know better keep calling LLMs "AI"

Really depends on how we define "information" right? In a very real sense, everything GPT outputs is simply noise. It only seems like information to pattern-recognizing animals like us. It's meaningless to another computer. I

Oh boy, have I got a story for you. Around 1999, my hometown (pop. ~600) fell for a conman. Like, the actual Town government, and almost everyone in it. Pudgy, balding, middle-aged white dude breezed into town and seduced the owner of one o

So much projection. Who's "making it political" when he's using the term as a bludgeon? He's a knock-off Donald Trump JUNIOR. Why anyone credits anything he says will forever escape me.

Oh no! Anyway... I don't believe I have ever used Gedit for anything. Ever. I'm an Emacs guy. I won't be using Text Editor, either. Ever. If it accidentally opens a file, that means I need to change "Open Files of This T

This is my only real gripe, as well. I really like Tramp, so I use it anyway, but I gripe about it when it hangs

Once it starts it does almost nothing unless you're using it, and then it's still a lightweight document editor, not an Electron app

Hmmm... No, no I don't think I will. I don't trust anything that voluntarily associates itself with blockchain.

When will they learn? Mr. Robot is the only thing I can think of that actually cared about making "hacking" realistic. Even movies about hacking fail miserably. It's a no-brainer. Hire literally any competent CS major to cons

Agreed, with a caveat. Many big projects have multiple components. A company may make a strategic decision to open source one (or more) component explicitly to use it as a marketing strategy. A startup side project I'm working on is go

At risk of repeating what everyone else has said... My PM does the "Hey" thing. I do not multitask. I'm a serial tasker. So I turned off all notifications on Slack. The only way I know I have a message is the red dot that app

Still? Heheheh. How long is it going to remain "the future"? I don't even need to read the article to know it's trying to sell something.

I think you have defined "queue" too narrowly in the context of the OP article. MQs are one thing, but the article is about queues as data structures. A directory of files to be processed may be treated as a queue. Add several dir
