@ahnlak this was a UV and a polarising filter as well. Both smashed. But yeh!!!

A fire must have been a focal point for conversation for hundreds of thousand of years.

OK, first time I have seen a best man’s speech created by ChatGPT. Very little promoting done. Crazy. Very convincing. But it’s a best man’s speech so meant to be bullshit, which makes ChatGPT so well suited.

Latest bit of fun, but small, bit of C code...

iMessage (from which the screen shot comes) copes remarkably well with them.

When a specification casually says to remove accents to compare letters just A to Z, FFS. Ended up scanning the whole Unicode XML file to find A-Z type letters.

@ahnlak That fooled me for a moment too, yes, blood types.

This bit looks less impressive.

static const char * unicode_space="\011\012\013\014\015 ";

That is 25 different space characters (WSpace="Y")

@KevinMarks @Edent it is a shame the unicode database does not have a simple “Latin equivalent” field :-)

Oh, maybe they do? Will look in to that.

Holy fuck, I just signed up to a site and it sent me a confirmation message WITH MY PASSWORD IN PLAIN TEXT.

Not an automatically generated one but the supposedly secure one I am meant to use to sign in!

@mathi_gwithyas if you type in your password the LLM training just sees stars, honest…

Are you a "glass half full" or "glass half empty" person?

Me: smashes glass

@bloor There is another option...

It has a sort of separate, large, liquid reservoir with a shoulder strap for the ammo. This is a mental bubble gun.

Someone (staying with us a few days) wanted a new night light. She has no idea how much work it was. The PCB needed a big tant cap adding and the s/w needed work. I hope she is happy.

Hello folks! How's everyone? 😊

revk,
@revk@toot.me.uk avatar

@IoanSaid Hard to say, as I don't know "everyone" 🙂

Maybe: "average" (by definition)

@revk@toot.me.uk avatar

I don't actually know which came first...

@hittitezombie I'm impressed. I had no clue which way it would go. Well done.

Quite close to be honest.

revk,
@revk@toot.me.uk avatar

@hittitezombie Indeed, if only a month or two apart, it would be parallel, but I have to assume the dwarfer team saw it. Fun

This is daft.
Even in the universe people age and die.
There is no way in hell any of these four would not restart their life as kids. Especially Guinan, winding back so many years. A few years “discomfort” of being a kid for a whole new life - no brainer.
And no way they would not then have a whole team research that “transporter accident”.

@mansr Sorry, StarTrek, TNG, S6E7, a fun episode, but like a few others totally radical in the context of the whole reality.

Basically 4 people become young, with no reason not to expect them to grow as normal, but with all their current memory and experience, all due to a transporter accident.

They were restored to normal age. Why?

revk,
@revk@toot.me.uk avatar

@mansr The option was to their previous (much older) age. That would be daft for all of them.

revk,
@revk@toot.me.uk avatar

@lambtor @jalanhenning Well Q would come with a "cost" somehow I am sure, but a transporter accident would not.,
