Demolishun said Sounds like you need a light on your bike.  Was that dead too?

When I was a kid we had literal generators we attached to the wheel to power lights on our bikes.  With modern tech this should be a lot more efficient now.  The same generator now would power LED lights a lot better than back then.,@retoor doh, lol.

No Knee Slap November.,Okay, I learned something:,.,So my aunt, when I was a kid, was trying to grow mold on her bread in her kitchen.  It was rye IIRC.  I learned later that people can grow LSD on rye bread.  She died really young.  I have to wonder if this is why.  My mom was well grounded.  My aunt, who is my mom's twin, was not.  She had a bad marriage and just seemed kinda messed up after that.  Sometimes when I hear about bread I think about my aunt trying to grow LSD.,I love that this is an option.,@retoor I don't think she died from that.  It was just the whole weirdness and not taking care of herself.  I think the LSD stuff was just the stuff I noticed as a kid.  It took my mom another 40 years to die after that.,@antigermgerm lol, I mean you are the highest rage quit candidate at the moment.  ;-),Scammers are such pieces of shits.  Strategic nukes are a possible solution.  I don't know enough to help.  I hope you fucking nail the bastards.,I did get this shit working today.  But I am finding that the standard for modbus is not followed, or my library I am using for communication is hiding implementation details.  The data in a register (16 bits) is supposed to be big endian.  What I am getting is little endian.  I looked through the source code and I can't see anywhere where they interpret the byte order at all.  Perhaps it is hidden somewhere I cannot find it.  I also tested with a perl library and it is returning little endian words.  I am trying to create a generic interface so I added a byte endianess parameter in case we end up with devices that do it differently.  Everything I am reading is saying manufacturers will just do it how they want anyway.  Expecting everyone to just fix it in software.,I think it is more than that.

The Asians came in and wiped all of them out like 7K years ago.  So native Americans were not original.  Possibly even the aboriginals were not original.  Before that was probably some aliens on vacation.  Then this place, the Earth, became a shit hole.  Then they started probing the shit outta us!,@jestdotty I saw somewhere that only 3% of people who died that year died OF covid.  The rest died WITH covid, but died of other comorbidities.  Also, flu disappeared from the statistics that year.  Hospitals got major kickbacks.  Especially for ventilator use.  

It was a major numbers game to defraud the public.,,@jestdotty people were on their death bed.  People hid ivermectin inside of things to sneak them into the hospital.

He was instrumental in creating and distributing the Brucellosis for brazil.  There was an additive to the transport agent that caused sterility in women.  This made 50% of the child bearing aged women in Brazil sterile.  The Catholic church caught them doing it again in Africa.  The media just made fun of the church.  Guess who made a shit ton of money off of vaccines during the pandemic?  Bill Gates.  

People think he is evil for his company Microsoft.  This dude is on a completely different level of evil.,@Tounai we have elected officials in the USA working for the drug cartels.

There is so much shit you don't know until you have a wtf moment.  This causes you to dig into the language to search for the reason.  When I found that there is no order for compilation units to execute constructors in any specific order I was kind of shocked. (this is code that executes before main)  But I had to dig into cppreference to find that detail.  Even after I explained this to people I work with they just tried blaming the OS itself.  It has nothing to do with the OS at all.  lol,@Lensflare in before ostream:

"how is it possible that I knew about this thing in C++ and you didn‘t?"

Something, something German master race...  ;-),So my throw away google account is warning me I might lose my throw away google account if I don't give them a phone number.  lol

Hint: all my google accounts are throw away to be honest.,@CoreFusionX different compilation units.  For simplicity: files like .cpp.  Have no defined order in which they run.  Sure within the unit it is defined.  But the order in which each unit is run is not and can change depending upon the compiler and possibly even compiler settings.  

We ran into this issue because we had one file defining an array of structs.  Different compilation units would modify this struct at defined indexes.  This is fine, but there was a constructor that zeroed out the array in one unit.  This caused the structure to be wiped out if another compilation unit updated the array before the constructor ran.

I also found that globals are initialized by the OS.  So it was unnecessary to have the constructor zero out the array.  The solution was to remove the constructor that zeroed the array in one of the compilation units.

To me the code smells really bad to begin with.  I have not convinced anyone to address this issue yet.,@CoreFusionX 

file1.cpp:

struct GlobalStruct1 {

int stuff[10];

GlobalStruct1(){

// init stuff to zero here

}

} gloablstruct1;

file2.cpp:

extern GlobalStruct1 globalstruct1;

// update an entry in struct in some global classes constructor

The order in which these are run in the different units is not guaranteed.,@retoor found it!,MS - Massive Schlong

I put the whole game on my hard drive for the games I played a lot.  I just boot and select without disk.  This allowed me to mod Morrowind to have better textures/models for people.  No more polygon people.  That xbox still works and is a better experience than the newest xbox IMO.,@retoor it is hollow.  We dropped a nuke on it a while back.  It rang like a bell for 3 days.  They also dropped some large payloads on there.  It would ring for a few hours after.

I heard a story NASA did the calcs on size of moon versus it gravity pull.  The calcs indicated hollow, at least partially.

Another fucked up thing about the moon.  Is as you dig the rock seems to get younger.  Also full of h3 and I think titanium on the surface.  The h3 is useful for fuel.  The dust can be baked to make bricks too.  So a lot of building material is there for building a station.

If you want to go down a really interesting trip.  Go look at expanding earth theory.  It is fascinating.  According to that theory the moon (and every other object in the universe) expands at a rate according to their mass.  This could partially explain why moon is hollow, maybe.,@antigermgerm bigger trolling audience.,"I just want things to do on my phone that are intellectually going to be stimulating"

If this claim is credible it tells me its a self preservation thing.,@retoor so people have flown in no fly zone before.  The only weirdness was compass would act weird.

It is fought in the minds of people.

It did show me a proper example of composition though.  

That isn't helpful for something so simple.  My journey continues...  I will get my prompt engineering degree in no time!,@retoor you got a lot out of that sentence.  lol,@ars1 4o?,So I don't have a ctrl + alt + P defined in keyboard shortcuts in vscode.

Chad Linux user says "Linux"

(Had a meme for this but can't post images.),@retoor in addition the whole secure boot thing I suspect is ultimately a way of locking out competing OSes as well.  

So what is technically happening with bitlocker?  Is it encrypting the drive or is it just locking the drive?,"What could be so hard about coding?"

Pretend you have a bag.  The bag has a limit on volume.  There is also a weight limit of how heavy the bag can be.  Now pretend you have an assortment of objects that have different weights and volumes.  The total weight exceeds the weight limit of the bag.  The total volume also exceeds the volume of the bag.

Describe a method for optimal choice of items to maximize the number of items.

Now assign a value to the items.  Describe a method for optimal choice of item value in the bag.

At some point they will realize they don't know what the fuck they are talking about.  You won't even have to say it.,@CaptainRant 🫡  sorry bro,@retoor this reminds me of ID software releasing their early games as open source.  Also reminds me of the Descent devs releasing their code too.  They said they want people to see that production code isn't necessarily the best quality code.  Which is a really interesting position to take.,@lorentz I remember going to see a electric car conversion company in the 90s.  They were experimenting with super fast charging of lead acid batteries.  Like 600 volts or something crazy.  They said the limiting factor was the plastic case.  It kept melting.  Not sure on longevity of the battery either.  They had the battery behind ballistic plastic to they could watch.,1. Program

I have pro and can completely disable driver updates and I also have all updates disabled.  So even if an update slipped through it cannot update drivers.  Windows update is notorious for putting on old shitty drivers.  You need pro to control this for being able to set policy.,@NoMad I feel called out.  lol,I just went looking for dev community to learn dev.  I stayed and became a sarcastic asshole.  I have learned quite a bit here.  Lately less so.,@Lensflare

We will keep trying.  She will get it eventually.  She is smart.,@retoor I know people who cannot pass the turing test.,@retoor my 11 year old daughter was in the bathroom.  I knocked and she says "I am pooping."  I reply: "Nice to meet you Pooping, I am dad.",@retoor this one is 13.  She is struggling with the terminology at the moment.  She will need to learn more geometry too.  I think seeing the axis and points in action will help with her math.,@Hazarth so people pretty high up in politics in the USA were using a service that allowed posts to exist for 24 hours (or some time) before deleted.  They were thinking they were posting shit anonymously and passing secret messages to other people that nobody was smart enough to figure it out.  Pretty sure the NSA was logging all this shit knew what they were posting.  The stuff they were posting was illegal as hell.  So imagine a manager using a service like that thinking they are all sly and the internet will not remember.  lol,@retoor

The people wanting to lower CO2 are interested in planet death IMO.,@retoor I never used that so I don't know.  On Khan Academy I was doing some refresher on calculus on there.

It runs very cool compared to the stock power supply.,-1 team killing fucktard,I use all sorts of stuff in my code that is not common.  Is this job security?

One of my favorite tricks in JS is inserting arrays into other arrays using the ... operator.  I use this for managing displays with 0 to n items added to an existing list.  This is used in our QML code.  I showed this to a previous manager and he got visibly agitated and asked me to comment how it is used.  He doesn't work here anymore though.,@NoMad some dude be like:,@Tounai I tried looking up HCL, but don't know what you mean by it.  What does it stand for?,So I look at r/cpp quite often.  The general attitude there is the standard regex library is shit and shouldn't be used.  Most point to boost for regex.  What is worse is it can't be fixed without breaking abi or some shit.,My current character name in skyrim game Yussprehkcuf.,@Lensflare I wonder if I misspelled it, doh...,@Liebranca,@12bitfloat will be along soon to engage in battle!,@Lensflare I will just roleplay my character is dyslexic or some shit.,So notepad++ devs are pdfiles too?  Buahahahaha!

Remember, they aren't leaving X because their speech is censored.  They are leaving X because someone else's speech is NOT censored.  

Awaiting chastisement from @retoor,Buahahaha!  I am not laughing because of the error.  I am laughing because of you are using non descriptive variable names like: i and j.,@retoor I use indx or count.  Easier for me to see what the hell I am doing.  I avoid index because it has issues in QML code.,@12bitfloat I am used to forums where you gotta use coded language to avoid censor bots.  

I will watch videos on youtube where the youtuber will pronounce vaccines very poorly like waxeens to avoid the audio censors.,@12bitfloat lol,@netikras cups? I measure my coffee in pots.,@jestdotty ADHD,Every time I see "fn" in Rust I think "f'n'"

Check out my f'n' code!,@retoor Hollywood started going from X to BlueSky in droves.  At the same time the platform was getting flooded by child porn.  There was also a huge uptick of people trying to cancel other people on the platform.  They would usually see like 40K issues a year.  They were seeing 120K issues in a week when it happened.  It has been carnage over there since the migration from what I hear.  A logistical nightmare.,@12bitfloat it is because a LOT of anime is pervee as hell.  I like anime, but I see pervee shit in SAO.  I was watching some other anime with my 11 year old.  It was age gated at TV-11 or something.  At one point a girl started grabbing another girls breasts.  Both were well under the age of 18 in the anime.  It was MA content targeted at kids.  This was on Hulu.  My daughter said: "This makes me uncomfortable."  I said: Yeah, me too."  So we turned it off.  Now I gotta preview anything by reading reviews and stuff.

I don't know what is actually on BlueSky, but I really don't want to know.  Probably some asshole hacking the network.,@retoor I used to really respect Schwarzenegger.   Then during pandemic he said: "Screw your freedoms."  Realized how much of a piece of shit he was.  If stuff comes out about him I will not be surprised.

On the other hand Mel Gibson has come out and said Hollywood is full of pedos.  He stayed away from the party culture and the influence it brings.,@12bitfloat somewhat agree, but I think there needs to be more provision keeping it away from young kids.,@12bitfloat I think Florida just passed something banning kids under 13 being on social networks.

I am your dad.",I skimmed the article, but don't see the reference.,A lot of tech "influencers" are even more shallow on understanding of the subjects than chatgpt.,@Lensflare controlling emotions is a skill.  A skill you can influence.  Being a victim and letting emotions control you can get you killed.  How do you measure that skill?,So I solved a problem that I should have considered with a regex today.  When I look at the code again I will know what it does without looking up regex syntax.  And it won't run off and do stupid shit because of a corner case.,@retoor oh fuck, retoor went postal...,@jestdotty what is funny is all the newbies who started with Skyrim get all pissy if you mention the seedier side of TES.  Dagger Fall had Azura hanging her tits out.  Which is hilarious when the Skybabies start telling the older crowd to stop being gooners.  So a past time of mine is to upvote posts on r/Skyrim that trigger the Skybabies.,Go watch scambaiter on youtube.  They are making millions.  He did an analysis of one scammer cell and it was bringing in 2 million per year.  

I talked to a guy I worked with.  He saw a figure that said scamming and fraud cost the USA over 2 Trillion last year.  He actually ran into an older dude in his 70s that thought he was gonna get bad consequences if he didn't send people money.  He showed him the email and it was just a regular scam email.

Maybe they would make more, but you have to have a certain amount of assertiveness and nastiness to close to the "sale".,lol, lets do amoral things to promote our version of morality.  Lets ignore self ownership, liberty, and all ethics.  So we can instill "better" ethics on a person.  We can also violate international law as well.  What a piece of shit.

I was okay with supporting people in their fear by wearing a mask (I didn't understand what was happening), but when I learned that masks can cause bacterial pneumonia in healthy people.  I was pissed.  I started getting really militant about telling people to fuck off.  I read that the 1920s pandemic a huge percentage died because of masks.

I used to think the pandemic was real.  Then I saw the real stats.  Only 3% of the people who were marked with covid actually died FROM covid.  97% were only marked WITH covid because of fraudulent testing.  So 97% of the pandemic was fraud.  My conclusion: the plandemic was made for the vaccine.  Not the other way around.

Another interesting thing.  People were making posters in 1920s saying the vaccines were dangerous.  Wild.,@retoor so Japan rejected any more vaccines after they found out it was loaded with heavy metals and foreign objects.  They just flat out said no more.  Then later that PM who made that decision was SHOT by a homemade gun by a "lone gunman" and died.  He was retired at this point.  

Pretty sure CIA recruited the kid that shot him and taught him how to make a gun at home.  It sounds like CIA narrative.  I hope to God that the fucks who orchestrated this shit get put to death for treason.  We cannot keep existing in a world where this is okay.,@retoor yes, fear created by the media paid for by big pharma and other interests.  In the USA most of the funding for news is big pharma.,@retoor just saw this, seems relevant:,@retoor we stopped watching tv 15 years ago.,Currently watching "beginner" C# videos as I don't remember hardly anything.  I had to install VSCode with C# on my Linux machine.  The tutorial is in VIsual Studio though.,@PappyHans yes, lol,@PappyHans playing with bit manipulation right now.  Went off video script and started writing lambdas and shit.  Then tried type puning to jack the compiler.  Didn't work out as it requires unsafe, but there is a way to do it.,@PappyHans I am a bit perplexed why you cannot use var in lambda args.  I can use auto  in lambdas in C++, but that is fairly new.  I would have thought there would be more code reuse.  I may not have found out a way to do it yet though.,@retoor sometimes.  Learn something, then do do do.  Right now I am doing.,@retoor yeah, my kids don't know what saturday morning cartoons is.,@Lensflare lol, imagine is dick turgidness made a ticking sound.,@retoor no idea.  I have a copy of loony toons dvd. Maybe I will put that in tomorrow morning.,@Lensflare 

Okay, never thought about this before, but this fucking bothers me:

byte b6 = 255;

Console.WriteLine("");

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(b6, toBase: 2).PadLeft(8, '0'));

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(b6, toBase: 8).PadLeft(3, '0'));

Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(b6, toBase: 16).PadLeft(2, '0'));

Significant digits needed to display a value in a different base isn't a straightforward pattern.  I am thinking I need to do a power of something to do it right.  Why did I never wonder about this shit before?  Don't tell me,  I need to figure this out.  Why?  Because it fucking bothers me I don't know right now.,As long as it is configurable I am okay with it.  What I really hate is it fucking checking updates when I don't want.  No Java, I don't EVER want to fucking update...,@PappyHans I think 22 looks better than 2013 or some older shit though.,@atheist

I would probably do this with C++ if I didn't need to learn C# better.  So I found that Qt actually has a way to use Qt with C#.  Not going this route as we use WPF at work.  But it was interesting to see it exists.  I read that if Maui doesn't shape up Qt for C# might get more traction.,@awesomeest I am racist against the human race.,@Lensflare yeah, I am wondering when shit will hit the fan at work...,This is why people put electricity on political signs this year.

It has crashed once in about 100 hours of play.,@D-4got10-01 not sure about other games, but designing a game to be moddable helps a lot with the bugs.  But holy crap.  The modding community around TES games is writing c++ code that injects itself into the engine to add more scripting options.  Way beyond the original modding design of the games.  There are also a bunch of dll mods that fix memory issues and stuff.  Just wild IMO.,@retoor yeah, I play around with SKSE plugins which end up being DLLs.

I am interested in seeing where it goes in the future, but I will do this from a distance.  My main concern is if I ever need to learn it for a job.  Right now that is looking very unlikely.  

In the C++ circles I am in any political crap is met with disdain.  

This is an example of why I have no interest in Rust community.  The commenters are typical of the shit on Reddit, but I have also seen this in dedicated forums.  

https://reddit.com/r/rust/...

I see this in other tech projects as well.  If someone speaks out against certain political activists then they get cancelled.,@12bitfloat could be, but IIRC I saw political activism on the Rust site in the blogs.  It only gets worse on Reddit.  Conversely, on r/cpp political crap is not welcomed at all.,@12bitfloat 

"Not using Rust because some people are idiots is extremely foolish"

I am finding that in order to stay mentally healthy that I need to eliminate unproductive stressors in my life.  That includes people and groups that have outright disdain for my beliefs or me as a person.  Having them in my life is not a gain for me.  So if I sense even a whiff of political AIDS then I avoid.  This leads me to take part in highly focused communities that don't allow it at all.  

One exception to this is devrant.  Its a place to fuck off in.  Nobody is trying to cancel people who don't agree with each other.

I don't need Rust in my job.  It also doesn't look like it will be even on the horizon in the next 5 to 10 years.  If my boss says we need to learn Rust.  I will learn Rust.  Currently there is zero driver for this.,@12bitfloat I guess what I am really saying is:  I have had enough and not going to tolerate it any more.  I am done being polite.  It is never reciprocated.,@12bitfloat I think in part you are right.  I probably shouldn't judge Rust community based on Reddit.  I did look at the official Rust forums and it looks like a well run tech community.  So in the future, if I need to learn Rust, I will just go there for help.,Windows users: https://open-shell.github.io/Open-S...

Have not seen ads in years.,I have perverse joy man-splaining technical things to people at work.  Sometimes I even throw in the dad voice and ask rhetorical questions.  Sometimes I will even inquire if they know what some of the technical terms mean, but start explaining before they can answer.  Prompting indignant responses like "I know what that means..."  

I am not always a dick, just when people ignore my input then wonder why it doesn't work.,@retoor I have this nagging feeling I am only scratching surface on uses.,@retoor nah, I had to explain.,Who is banning your account for refunding?  Steam?,@kanyewest oh gawd.  Consoles are the shittiest platform ever.  Especially playstation.  I am sorry you even put up with that shit.,@retoor ooh, things not to say to your dark redhead wife...,So I have been looking at Conan game on steam.  I always wait to see reviews and let games mature a few years.  I am so glad I waited on this game.  It turns out later on, a year after release, they added microtransactions.  Then they made things like health potions shit you have to buy in game using these transactions.  I don't care if they do this shit for skins, but what in the hell are they thinking?  I am now of the school of thought to stay away from any game with any microtransactions.  I also am to the point I don't want to play any online game unless I run the server.  The gaming industry is dogshit with these thieving companies now.,@retoor So I have used boost.asio before.  I am fine with it being a black box.  It did what I wanted in the past and was simple to use, even with threading.  I want to use it again and the hard part has been getting libraries installed.  I expect the boost.asio usage to be easy.  I dunno.  Someone smarter than me wrote it.  I don't want to write a json parser or networking code.  I want an app that does a thing.,Oh, I noticed on every search, the AI response was so wrong it was pathetic.  Not once did it lead to a solution.  It said things existed that simply did not.,During holidays I work on MY SHIT!,It could be perception, but the searches seem a lot faster this way.,Why would any company base their tools on some other system besides theirs?  Are you expecting a media creation tool that runs on Linux?  I think any ISO online is going to be out of date anyway.  It seems to me that using your own operating system to bootstrap another system is just fine.  What urks me about Linux is that it is easier to use windows to build a boot usb to install Linux.  Maybe this has gotten better, but I have boot media builder for windows that works very well building media for most usb boot drives.  I ran into a lot of issues with linux based solutions.,Cool beans,@antigermgerm yeah, when I was there we saw the "fat side of Le Man".  Everyone on the wealthy side looked healthy.  Everyone on the other side of town was porky.   They don't show that in brochures.```
