I don't like the idea of a computer that can think for itself, I don't like the idea of computers will replace humans jobs, I don't like the way we are heading.

In japanese culture, there's always this Tatemae, meaning you put on a different front everyday for work or even with friends so when you're alone with your partner or whoever, you act like a baby to get taken care of.

Its so difficult to show your true self if you follow japanese culture. There are many who are more westernized and open and say what they want but still, there's this shyness or a barrier you always have.

Sometimes you just have to say F it and just say what you want!

The best part is that it tastes exactly like fast food because the robot, like fast food workers, also doesn't want to be making shitty pizza for you.

Is it just me or has this DNSCrypt project been doing things without any prior announcement?

Last month or so, the main GitHub repo for DNSCrypt randomly got deleted. It wasn't until several days later, the author posted a tweet saying he/she are not supporting it anymore.

Now it has seemingly been resurrected...after I have already configured my server to use a new project called getdns (and stubby).

So, based off the map, the Indian subcontinent is basically fucked right? Although I am surprised by places like Italy or Peru.

Not sure if this will end up in consumer devices but it would be a hell of a lot better than SSD chips soldered onto laptop motherboards. The latest ultraportables all seem to have soldered SSDs because once Apple did it and the world kept spinning, that made it okay for Dell and everyone else to follow suit. Of course the SSDs themselves would have to become easily available for people to upgrade their laptops or it will just be the next MXM standard, upgradeable in theory but no one actually does it.

I wonder if Mike Nifong's prodigy was one of the complaining students. Keep your head up Professor, there are plenty of us in your corner! Let's petition Coach K to speak up on your behalf and see if the school has the balls to fire him too...

You could say, someone lost their shirt on this one.

Also using Wikidata links, you’ll get support for many more languages. It is also much easier to process by bots to get more relevant statistics on many more terms than the very anglo-centered and too limited Swadesh list.

This is very interesting facts that cyber security is something required specialized knowledge and training to quickly respond with appropriate info rather than jumping around that actually creates confusion around the industry as such.

We need to end so-called semi private rooms. This fungus was apparently found on the ceiling of a man that died of it. Sick people sharing rooms and toilets is a recipe for disaster.

The author may know of a great deal of harm caused, but so far I remain about ten pole lengths away from panic over my privacy. My Life did not seem to have much, and I have found more on myself in the past by simply googling. Yeah, I don’t like how easy it is for people to see my mostly measly political donations, but only a stalker would give a darn about the facade of my home. Seems like it is more likely we need to fear identity theft than a lack of obscurity. Here’s an idea, if you want more privacy/obscurity, refrain from social media or using your real name in comments sections.

I find Wikipedia tremendously useful and have made modest acknowledgement of that financially. That said, I tried to get them to correct/augment something they had based on a thesis from the 1970's at a top US school. The matter could have been verified but instead it was rejected out of hand and so the content on Wikipedia is less than it might have been. I had a sense the matter was handled with great dispatch and finality.

MS Windows of some 3.x variety was apparently the original selected GUI for the Atari ST, intended to be running from ROM… however, MS couldn’t apparently get it to fit in less than a couple of megabytes, hex dumps of the code would show a hell of a lot of redundant x86 stuff in there, like references to hercules drivers and all manner of bloat that they couldn’t strip. They seemed to be disassembling the binaries to translate to 680×0 assembly and kludging it that way rather than from source, which was always rumoured to be a complete mess for the early windows versions. Anyhoo, apparently Trammiel got pissed at MS for lack of progress on shrinking and refining it and went with a version of GEM instead.
