  • I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)

  • Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes...

  • I cracked a $200 software protection with xcopy

    跳过

  • This feels like an old school error, just with modern protection code.

    Like in the Win95 days where the installer would ask for a serial number to install... But you could load the installer in a hex editor, look for the PKZ magic bytes, and run unzip on it. :)

  • Fred Penner - Sandwiches Are Beautiful

    跳过

  • Penner is a common Mennonite surname, and there are are a lot of Penners in Canada. Mennonite low German (Plautdietsch) is more weirder.

    The wiki page has some good sample texts comparing it between Dutch and Low German.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plautdietsch

    My surname (Unrau) is also Mennonite, but could be German.

    This concludes my TED talk.

  • 'Just bring your documents,' warns Manitoba man stopped at U.S. border over stayed charges | CBC

    跳过

  • I mean, our courts publish proceedings. Wouldn't be hard to assemble a database from that info.

    The accuracy of such a database (particularly when interpreted by an AI) would be hugely suspect. Also, hard to argue with a database when you're at the border being detained -- the guy detaining you didn't create the database.

    Whole thing reeks.

  • Zig project leaves GitHub due to excessive AI

    跳过

  • I suspect this will happen more and more as large corporations try to shoehorn AI into literally every corner. Atlassian is equally guilty of this.

    It's like Dead Internet Theory, but for code repos.

  • The more you look, the worse this gets. I've been enjoying some lively Discord derision on a few servers, so I thought I'd share the pain.

  • This is very funny haha. It's like an exercise in spot the errors. Two bathtubs... Wait, is that a side view framed wall on the balcony mixed in with plan view...

  • Is there a community where it's appropriate to post ttrpg character concepts and ask for feedback?

    跳过

  • There's a whole instance, ttrpg.network, which has a community for just about everything. Some of them are pretty quiet, but no one will object there.
