Demolishun said Sounds like you need a light on your bike. Was that dead too?
When I was a kid we had literal generators we attached to the wheel to power lights on our bikes. With modern tech this should be a lot more efficient now. The same generator now would power LED lights a lot better than back then.,@retoor doh, lol. I read a couple of times and missed that.,@retoor I like pretending to be a banker and fund both sides of the wars.,@Ranchonyx I thought it was NKSN this month? No Knee Slap November.,Okay, I learned something:,.,So my aunt, when I was a kid, was trying to grow mold on her bread in her kitchen. It was rye IIRC. I learned later that people can grow LSD on rye bread. She died really young. I have to wonder if this is why. My mom was well grounded. My aunt, who is my mom's twin, was not. She had a bad marriage and just seemed kinda messed up after that. Sometimes when I hear about bread I think about my aunt trying to grow LSD.,I love that this is an option.,@retoor I don't think she died from that. It was just the whole weirdness and not taking care of herself. I think the LSD stuff was just the stuff I noticed as a kid. It took my mom another 40 years to die after that.,@antigermgerm lol, I mean you are the highest rage quit candidate at the moment. ;-),Scammers are such pieces of shits. Strategic nukes are a possible solution. I don't know enough to help. I hope you fucking nail the bastards.,I did get this shit working today. But I am finding that the standard for modbus is not followed, or my library I am using for communication is hiding implementation details. The data in a register (16 bits) is supposed to be big endian. What I am getting is little endian. I looked through the source code and I can't see anywhere where they interpret the byte order at all. Perhaps it is hidden somewhere I cannot find it. I also tested with a perl library and it is returning little endian words. I am trying to create a generic interface so I added a byte endianess parameter in case we end up with devices that do it differently. Everything I am reading is saying manufacturers will just do it how they want anyway. Expecting everyone to just fix it in software.,I think it is more than that. There are 15 million missing voters from this last election. That could explain where they went.,@Grumm the origin, of what we know about, was aboriginals over 50K years ago in the Americas. The Asians came in and wiped all of them out like 7K years ago. So native Americans were not original. Possibly even the aboriginals were not original. Before that was probably some aliens on vacation. Then this place, the Earth, became a shit hole. Then they started probing the shit outta us!,@jestdotty I saw somewhere that only 3% of people who died that year died OF covid. The rest died WITH covid, but died of other comorbidities. Also, flu disappeared from the statistics that year. Hospitals got major kickbacks. Especially for ventilator use.
It was a major numbers game to defraud the public.,,@jestdotty people were on their death bed. People hid ivermectin inside of things to sneak them into the hospital. The people who got it usually recovered within 24 to 48 hours. What kind of fucked up world requires people to sneak life saving remedies into a fucking hospital?,@jestdotty I would like to apologize on behalf of the USA to Canada. Apparently a whole segment of mentally ill people are now planning on going to Canada.

He was instrumental in creating and distributing the Brucellosis for brazil. There was an additive to the transport agent that caused sterility in women. This made 50% of the child bearing aged women in Brazil sterile. The Catholic church caught them doing it again in Africa. The media just made fun of the church. Guess who made a shit ton of money off of vaccines during the pandemic? Bill Gates.
People think he is evil for his company Microsoft. This dude is on a completely different level of evil.,@Tounai we have elected officials in the USA working for the drug cartels.

Pizza, but 1.5 inches thick.,@retoor I don't use tor much, but those are sites that are not even listed in domain registries I think. Or stuff that was blacklisted from search engines.

They are intended to be descriptions and cannot be used in the process at all.,@jestdotty we are supposed to be approaching a cooling cycle in next 50 years I had heard. My suspicion is get everyone off fossil fuels. So when cooling occurs everyone freezes. Windmills and solar panels won't work or be enough. I can't imagine ever dropping nuclear though.,@jestdotty I am not talking about human activity. I am talking about a sun cycle.,So I was scraping car this morning. My physical exertion was standing on my toes. Phone was in the same place as usual. Started stinging in my pocket. My movement was completely different from walking. So I got in the car and put the phone in front of my wallet (was behind against leg). Drove to work. Felt fine. Then went back to car and it started stinging again. Phone was not against leg. Same spot on leg.
Maybe i need to change pockets to let leg feel better. Didn't hurt at all last night.,@Lensflare so I saw this guy do a talk around 2008.

Is this why I avoid putting variables on same line? Maybe.,@Lensflare I dunno, maybe I just don't care. I don't put multiple variables on a line.,@Lensflare one thing I found about C++. There is so much shit you don't know until you have a wtf moment. This causes you to dig into the language to search for the reason. When I found that there is no order for compilation units to execute constructors in any specific order I was kind of shocked. (this is code that executes before main) But I had to dig into cppreference to find that detail. Even after I explained this to people I work with they just tried blaming the OS itself. It has nothing to do with the OS at all. lol,@Lensflare in before ostream:
"how is it possible that I knew about this thing in C++ and you didn‘t?"
Something, something German master race... ;-),So my throw away google account is warning me I might lose my throw away google account if I don't give them a phone number. lol
Hint: all my google accounts are throw away to be honest.,@CoreFusionX different compilation units. For simplicity: files like .cpp. Have no defined order in which they run. Sure within the unit it is defined. But the order in which each unit is run is not and can change depending upon the compiler and possibly even compiler settings.
We ran into this issue because we had one file defining an array of structs. Different compilation units would modify this struct at defined indexes. This is fine, but there was a constructor that zeroed out the array in one unit. This caused the structure to be wiped out if another compilation unit updated the array before the constructor ran.
I also found that globals are initialized by the OS. So it was unnecessary to have the constructor zero out the array. The solution was to remove the constructor that zeroed the array in one of the compilation units.
To me the code smells really bad to begin with. I have not convinced anyone to address this issue yet.,@CoreFusionX
file1.cpp:
struct GlobalStruct1 {
int stuff[10];
GlobalStruct1(){
// init stuff to zero here
}
} gloablstruct1;
file2.cpp:
extern GlobalStruct1 globalstruct1;
// update an entry in struct in some global classes constructor
The order in which these are run in the different units is not guaranteed.,@retoor found it!,MS - Massive Schlong

I put the whole game on my hard drive for the games I played a lot. I just boot and select without disk. This allowed me to mod Morrowind to have better textures/models for people. No more polygon people. That xbox still works and is a better experience than the newest xbox IMO.,@retoor it is hollow. We dropped a nuke on it a while back. It rang like a bell for 3 days. They also dropped some large payloads on there. It would ring for a few hours after.
I heard a story NASA did the calcs on size of moon versus it gravity pull. The calcs indicated hollow, at least partially.
Another fucked up thing about the moon. Is as you dig the rock seems to get younger. Also full of h3 and I think titanium on the surface. The h3 is useful for fuel. The dust can be baked to make bricks too. So a lot of building material is there for building a station.
If you want to go down a really interesting trip. Go look at expanding earth theory. It is fascinating. According to that theory the moon (and every other object in the universe) expands at a rate according to their mass. This could partially explain why moon is hollow, maybe.,@antigermgerm bigger trolling audience.,"I just want things to do on my phone that are intellectually going to be stimulating"

Planes fly over the North Pole all the time. There is a no fly zone in the South Pole. And a weird agreement by all nations to honor that. Since when are nations in agreement with anything? If this claim is credible it tells me its a self preservation thing.,@retoor so people have flown in no fly zone before. The only weirdness was compass would act weird. Then when they landed there was suits from DC that chewed them out for flying there. Even for saving someones life. How did the suits get there so fast?
Antarctica is a crazy place for sure. Wild stories coming out of there. Who knows what is true? I suppose there could be weirdness in North Pole too, but seems to me more likely on South Pole.,@retoor the wild thing about the internet is all sorts of wild stories came out on the web 20 years ago or more.

There always seems to be something fucky going on.
For instance when the I want to paste into the Files file manager I cannot have the list view if there is a lot of files. I have to switch to Grid view. There is no space to right click and paste. Which is annoying and frustrating. There is probably a keyboard shortcut I need to learn for this.

The total weight exceeds the weight limit of the bag. The total volume also exceeds the volume of the bag.
Describe a method for optimal choice of items to maximize the number of items.
Now assign a value to the items. Describe a method for optimal choice of item value in the bag.
At some point they will realize they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. You won't even have to say it.,@CaptainRant 🫡 sorry bro,@retoor this reminds me of ID software releasing their early games as open source. Also reminds me of the Descent devs releasing their code too. They said they want people to see that production code isn't necessarily the best quality code. Which is a really interesting position to take.,@lorentz I remember going to see a electric car conversion company in the 90s. They were experimenting with super fast charging of lead acid batteries. Like 600 volts or something crazy. They said the limiting factor was the plastic case. It kept melting. Not sure on longevity of the battery either. They had the battery behind ballistic plastic to they could watch.,1. Program
2. Learn concepts to solve problems you run into.
3. Get on Khan Academy to learn about stuff you don't know about.
4. Read other people's code.
5. Find books on topics you want in depth knowledge of.
6. Goto 1
Once you feel like you have learned a language well then go watch videos about idiomatic programming in the that language on youtube. Realize how much of a noob you are and Goto 1 again.,Doesn't it let you set the time for updates to like 1am or something?
I have pro and can completely disable driver updates and I also have all updates disabled. So even if an update slipped through it cannot update drivers. Windows update is notorious for putting on old shitty drivers. You need pro to control this for being able to set policy.,@NoMad I feel called out. lol,I just went looking for dev community to learn dev. I stayed and became a sarcastic asshole. I have learned quite a bit here. Lately less so.,@Lensflare
#define false 1
#define true 0
Then just use those to test against. Might create issues elsewhere though.,Maybe true in the filter means it gets passed the barrier. Opt in I guess.,Some day we will write tests. Some day...
Seems to require effort, or some cataclysmic event that would cause us to think more about ways to improve code quality.,CityRank, how stinky is your city?,Also, there are mentors at Khan Academy.,I probably should. Last time I did I wrote spectacularly terrible code and got bored.,Probably one of those fucks that come through, pretend to want to kill themselves, and then blame other people when we don't capitulate.,sqlite is the boss for local storage or cache. Amazing library.,@retoor I ain't done shit. I posted update on my rant of what I did. I got excited about it for like a few hours and then did stuff with family.,@retoor yeah, my daughter wants to learn blender. She spent about an hour getting into before getting frustrated. We will keep trying. She will get it eventually. She is smart.,@retoor I know people who cannot pass the turing test.,@retoor my 11 year old daughter was in the bathroom. I knocked and she says "I am pooping." I reply: "Nice to meet you Pooping, I am dad.",@retoor this one is 13. She is struggling with the terminology at the moment. She will need to learn more geometry too. I think seeing the axis and points in action will help with her math.,@Hazarth so people pretty high up in politics in the USA were using a service that allowed posts to exist for 24 hours (or some time) before deleted. They were thinking they were posting shit anonymously and passing secret messages to other people that nobody was smart enough to figure it out. Pretty sure the NSA was logging all this shit knew what they were posting. The stuff they were posting was illegal as hell. So imagine a manager using a service like that thinking they are all sly and the internet will not remember. lol,@retoor
https://co2coalition.org/facts/
The people wanting to lower CO2 are interested in planet death IMO.,@retoor I never used that so I don't know. On Khan Academy I was doing some refresher on calculus on there. I also did some code to learn other sorting algos. I posted my code and a real person gave me coding improvements and suggestions. The guy who made it wanted to help his kids learn math and coding.,@retoor you can donate. Not required.,@Hazarth maybe have it shows images so at least they have to do OCR. Make it harder.,Noice...,Whoever made that feature has >5000K LOC files.,@Lensflare I just take money off their corpse and sell their stuff. They die naked.
I set the carry weight to 10K instead of 300. So I can loot and sell everything. I hate managing the the weight of my inventory. Its my horse simulator if you will.,So my current laptop I bought another power supply with higher wattage rating. It runs very cool compared to the stock power supply.,@NoMad some dude be like:,A lot of tech "influencers" are even more shallow on understanding of the subjects than chatgpt.,@Lensflare controlling emotions is a skill. A skill you can influence. Being a victim and letting emotions control you can get you killed. How do you measure that skill?,Wait, are you an autistic fucker?```
