i almost forgot the all time best programming game
bitburner (FREE BTW)
this one requires actual skill with javascript. you cannot play this game without learning how to write js. you can learn to write js with this game. it has a LOT of features. the game is sandboxed to keep you from doing exceptionally crazy stuff but people have managed to break the sandbox and just win the game instantly by writing into their live player session. the whole UI is in JS so you can even write you own interface. this game is awesome. i suck at it.
excuse me what

the people who hate copying the most are, once again, engaging in illegal copyright piracy. who could have seen that coming?

daily reminder that the music in the "you wouldnt steal a car" advertisement was used illegally and the rightsholder won in court after suing

problem: you need to run invoke-webrequest on a windows 11 computer and you need to force it to use ipv4 instead of ipv6
there is no direct solution to this. iwr is unable to force ipv4. there is no flag. microsoft is you dad and daddy says you dont need that.

possible indirect solution: use curl -4 [endpoint] instead, as curl was not written by retards and supports forcing v4 natively
new problem: curl is an alias of iwr
solution 1: explicitly call curl.exe
solution 2: just beat microsoft employees with hammers until the gene pool has been purified and the issue will sort itself out when new devs arent retards

it is my policy when referring to tragic events caused by a specific person or group to not name that person or group so as not to give undue credit or attention.
i think this is an important thing to notice when i regularly name Luigi Mangione and do not name the fraudster who he is alleged to have killed.

>need to install driver/bios updates on client computer (dell)
>dell command update wont start
>uninstall it, download the installer direct from dell
>run installer
>av detects multiple malware files. not heuristic detection, it was hash based
>installer fails
its so cool that massive international companies are just straight up dumping sewage into your computer by using their first party update applications to deliver malware directly onto sensitive business computers

lmfao
just found out the dotcam tld exists
i hope everyone involved in making that real gets phished and loses all of their money
I think that we should treat new technology more like now NASA treated the first computers ever built.
The name for the computer originated from the job that it replaced. Whenever difficult mathematical calculations needed to be made, people would use a room full of mathematicians (mostly women btw) to crunch out whatever numbers needed to be found. It was how the Russians put sputnik 1 into orbit. It was how Germans calculated v2 rocket trajectories. The earliest computers weren't able to do anything other than math. They were not programmable. They were an entire room that amounted to a calculator less powerful than a pocket calculator today.
During the Apollo missions, the shuttles had three parallel computers all executing the same instructions to ensure that if one failed the other two would override it. On top of that they had another computer back on earth AND a room full of human calculators to fact check everything the machines would output.

Today we are running headfirst into machine learning and the market hypes it up far beyond its safety and capability. Health insurers say "But computers are perfect. A computer made the decision to deny your heathcare claim and computers are perfect so that means it's correct." Police say the same thing about predictive policing. CEOs are developing AI psychosis. Richard Dawkins fell for the meme and has AI psychosis.

We really, really, need to treat AI like NASA did with early computers.
