A number of my repos are listed.

But the weird part is that it also lists a repo I don’t recognize. The repo does actually exist on my github account, but it’s marked as “ignored”, and the description says it was automatically exported from Google Code. The code seems to be a MacOS shareware file encryption tool called “BitClamp”, published circa 2008.

No idea how it got on my account.

This looks uncomfortable and humiliating. Now if they were to make it in the form of a suppository…

“Pissing in the soup” doesn’t really work here unless you’re adulterating the software with something malicious.

At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.

Reminds me of the old trick on HTML forms where you use CSS to make one of the form fields invisible to humans and reject any submission that filled in that field.

E099: PROGRAMMER IS OVERLY POLITE

Man it sure is crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide.

The problem is that you’re using Windows 95.

Pfft. Real programmers use butterflies

Terrible technique. Everyone knows it’s left hands only.

We are Linux. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your hard drive will be reformatted to service us. Resistance is futile.

The value of the DNS is that we all use the same one. You can declare independence, but you’d lose out on that value.

For some reason this specific graphic has always been one of my favorite parts of this movie.

So can a dotfile, or any other kind of storage. There’s really nothing inherently bad about the registry. Its reputation as a place to hide things in is equal parts selection bias, users’ lack of technical understanding, and the marketing of “registry cleaner” apps.

Unpopular opinion: The Windows Registry, a centralized, strongly typed key:value database for application settings, is actually superior to hundreds of individual dotfiles, each one written in its own janky customized DSL, with its own idea of where it should live in the file system, etc.

Part of my job is to review security footage for reported incidents.

If there is a long-lasting visual cue that the event has or has not happened yet (e.g. a window is either broken or not), then a binary search is very useful.

If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.

I thought the joke was about old binaries.
