  • TIL zombo.com still exists, and no longer requires flash

    Jump

  • I was finishing testing one of the largest system I've built for our company, and a coworker puts zombo.com up on the giant screens. Haven't had that good a laugh at work in a while. Should have realized it didnt use flash since our machines block flash.

    Nice to know you can still do anything.

  • Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them?

    Jump

  • That, and the meta data shows the files were edited in Adobe

  • "Source code file"

    Jump

  • With the obscure language I use for work, I do tend to keep each system to a single file, even though includes and modules are supported.

    Granted, they are generally between 500 and 5000 lines, and are usually written from scratch.

    That being said, there is a 0 percent chance I'm going to be feeding anything I write into Grok.

  • Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified

    Jump

  • This isn't a problem, as it is well known that Adobe Premiere is not designed to modify video.

  • Forget everything that's going on, what's your happiest memory?

    Jump

  • Once took a trip to Alaska to visit a friend. He was so excited to show me real mountain snowboarding, and boy did he have a surprise for me.

    One night had a real good dump of snow, and he took me off trail. We'd been keeping it pretty mellow, with me being the more experienced rider, though only had done the midwest.

    We rode into this mellow canyon, must have been a river bed or something, like a natural half pipe. Just got into a rhythm carving back and forth, following him, pushing higher and higher slashes on the walls.

    Then, on one frontside wall, maybe 20 foot high, I look over my shoulder, and the world fell away. The whole thing dropped down into a steep wall that had to be 100 foot high. Powder up to my waist, almost in free fall, we ran down like bats out of hell.

    When we hit the bottom I flopped down, completely covered in snow, and couldn't stop laughing and grinning for a good 5 minutes.

  • Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice.

    Jump

  • I'd say 1975 was a damned sweet spot for me. Medicine had advanced literally just enough that the life saving surgery I had at birth was a success. I had access to but was forced into the tech and comms revolution. Was right in time for the second wave of skating boarding, and got to be in on the very ground floor of snowboarding.

    I honestly can't think of a better time to have been born.

  • Microsoft cancel Perfect Dark reboot and shut the developers down in the name of "continued success"

    Jump

  • Yeah, can see that question is vague. Lots of remakes / remasters in recent years, some amazing, and some garbage. Didnt want to invest in this and be pissed off about it.

    Watched a few youtube reviews and sounds like something I'd enjoy.

  • Patient Gamers - Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Start deprived w master key.

    Dual scimitar, composite bow, and a buckler. Lot of focus on parry and fast bow game play.

    About 2:1 dex / end, no other points in stats aside from one in str to use the weapons.

    Black leather set at +6 to offset no vitality.

    Basically a Link glass cannon.

    Scimitars can parry in left hand, and have a fun flippy move set. Will likely add the flip ring for style, and a divine club for the catacombs.

    Currently lvl 53 w 45 dex and 23 end, and just reached the Anor Lando archers.

  • Patient Gamers - Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • Back to Dark Souls 1. Tried so many challenge runs over the years, I decided to just have a casual play through with my favorite build.

  • Microsoft cancel Perfect Dark reboot and shut the developers down in the name of "continued success"

    Jump

  • Is it a good port? I really enjoy turok 2 on PS4, would love to play perfect dark on something better than an N64.

  • What's something that makes you happy to be alive?

    Jump

  • For 40 years now, few things make me as happy and exhilarated as riding a skateboard.

    Would you take a short term job(1-2 months) over a local longer term that makes nearly 8months worth of salary??

    Jump

  • Lots of variables here, but sure, if its something you are comfortable with, go for it.

    One thing about short term high paying work though, you have to be good about stretching your money.

    Can be real easy to spend 8 months of pay fast when you earn it fast.

    The benifit of steady work is steady income.

  • Have you ever had to give up on a dream career?

    Jump

  • Multiple times in my career the thing I had trained for basically stopped being a thing, or became such an easy thing it wasn't going to be much of a job.

    Being at the wrong point, either too early or too late, in various tech waves almost felt like my super power.

    Wasn't until I turned thirty that I picked the right tech at the right time, and for 20 years have had a great career in an industry that is just as valuable today as when I started.

    Programming turned out to be a major component in what I do, and while I've seen AI spit out some reasonable code in the more popular languages, I can't see it replacing what I'm doing before I'm too old to care.

  • What's your LEAST favorite song

    Jump

  • Dominick the Donkey.

    Was on a very short holiday CD at a very long job.

  • I believe the point was to meet someone through those hobbies / activities vs using the dating apps.

  • What's something you immediately judge a person for when you see them wearing or have?

    Jump

  • I'm 50 and still skate, gonna were what ever the hell I like. Please feel free to judge away.

  • This is the graphical equivalent to "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

  • Trump ‘reamed out’ Hegseth for flop birthday parade

    Jump

  • I can only speak for myself, the vast majority of the people I served with, and my family and friends who are currently active duty.

    I have never met a single person I believed signed up to "Protect billionaires and their property".

    How they may be used by the current administration has nothing to do with their personal motivations.

  • Trump ‘reamed out’ Hegseth for flop birthday parade

    Jump

  • He's not happy they smiled and waved at the people they signed away their lives to protect.
