Old Man’s Code

@eevblog How bout that "Consumer" Data Right. Ironically it makes it easy for businesses to slurp up your transactions via a standardised API. But you're shit outta luck if you wanna access your own data yourself!

WTF is wrong with banks, why can they only search back through 2 years of transactions? If you want older you have to manually look through old statements, and those only go back 7 years. And if you didn't save older ones you are sh!t out of luck, data gone forever. This can't be a data space thing.

@sterlingcrispin You're mistaken:

I think we’ve reached peak LARP - 1.7k likes - the github repo is empty - there’s literally zero code - it’s just a readme

@vxunderground When you realise your industry is endless whack-a-mole

Windows Defender is very silly and I am flabbergasted. I always keep Windows Defender off. As a person who collects malware, writes malware, and pokes malware with a stick, Windows Defender is a big stinky dork who isn't cool and gets in my way. Earlier today I was doing big brain intellectual stuff that you wouldn't understand (watching police chase videos on YouTube) and suddenly Windows Defender began screaming obnoxiously loud into my headphones that it has detected hundreds of malwares on my machine. Windows Defender turning itself on is no big deal. I keep my several terabytes of malware segregated (it's in a special folder that is whitelisted, I pray I don't accidentally detonate it). However, Windows Defender was screaming malware was in my C drive. This is sort of weird ... I write malware, maybe it's flagging one of my proof-of-concepts as malware? Maybe? I look inside and this fucking piece of shit is flagging my anti-malware project I'm working on as malware. That makes literally zero sense. Nothing in my anti-malware static analysis goofy project is even remotely malicious. What the fuck is this piece of shit yapping about? In my malware static analysis project I extracted the YARA rules from Windows Defender. I use those same rules for identification. Windows Defender flagged IT'S OWN RULES as malware because of the strings present in THEIR OWN YARA RULES You dumb son of a bitch. I HATE YOU. Now I have to spend an extra FOUR MINUTES re-extracting your YARA rules and recompiling them for my project. HOW DARE YOU

@CursedVideos @TheGingerBill Glad to oblige a fellow scientist

@britton I did a second round this week. A LOT of energetics and emotion coming up. I felt exhausted!

I did EMDR for the first time this week. Surprisingly powerful

@a7las1984 I meant your prompt to the employee 😆

@oldmanscode Hahaha you think this was written by AI? I'm flattered.

At a local burrito place that I love. Employee: Rips 2 inch hole in burrito while rolling it and then tries to wrap it in foil quickly. Me: "Can you double wrap that please?" Employee: "That will be extra, is that okay?" Me: "There is a massive hole in the burrito?" Employee: "We will re wrap it with a new tortilla but double wrap is extra" Me: "Uh..." Employee: Takes burrito and sets it aside so someone can fix it. Instead of double wrapping he burrito, they made a new tortilla and then dumped the burrito into the new tortilla and then threw the old Tortilla away. Because the double wrap would be extra... Make it make sense....

@drawio Nice! I remember having issues with my naive xml find replace approach

New in draw.io: File Variables! 🎉 Define global variables once and use them as placeholders across all pages in your diagram file. Perfect for keeping titles, versions, dates or project names consistent everywhere. Update once, change everywhere.

I’ve only met Warren Buffett once. Here is what he ate: 1) Caesar salad with a chicken breast - didn’t eat any of it. Maybe a few lettuce leaves 2) 3 cherry cokes 3) an enormous vanilla sundae

@Palanikannan_M Users aren't reading or writing code, let alone understanding it 🤷

line diffs are 20 years old. they still can't tell the difference between "renamed a variable" and "rewrote the logic." your diff tool doesn't understand your code, it never did. we fixed that, introducing Semantic diffs!

@RonShamgar @MattBobBrad1 I go through A LOT of tissues

@MattBobBrad1 I gotta feeling I can do it in 20mins

Great job guys!! Just wondering how do I apply for that $231 per 25mins cleaning job? I can start today!

@navneet_rabdiya @rfleury Let's reinvent WordPad without learning anything

@rfleury yeah this is basically the capability problem windows had with DDE/OLE. granular permissions help but the core issue is ambient authority - any link can silently invoke anything the user can do. capability-based security would fix this at the OS level.

My hot take is that the “click a link in a document and have it execute something arbitrary” is great in principle, and the correct fix is not to hamstring this feature permanently, but to have a more granular permissions system, implemented at a lower level in the OS.

@_22over7ish_ @valigo Removing teats

@valigo You can disable the teats for prototyping.

Sorry, I just can't take any programming language seriously that teats unused variable, or unused import, as a hard error. Such a nightmare to prototype in. Feel free to use them if you like fake feeling of being productive when you comply with the linter.
