  I wouldn’t put it past ancient China palace regulations. They worked really hard to differentiate themselves from commoners. In the brothel scene they all bathed naked, including Maomao.

  It’s way less expensive for state-sponsored hackers to blackmail your country’s official to leak backdoor keys than try to break the unbreakable crypto using a nuclear-powered GPU farm.

  Saving arbitrary metadata is the exact use case for pickle module, you just put it together with your numpy array into a tuple. jpeg format has support for storing metadata, but they are an afterthought like .mp3 tags, half of applications do not support them.

  I can imagine multichannel jpeg to be used in photo editing software, so you can effortlessly create false-color plots of your infrared data, maybe even apply a beauty filter to your Eagle Nebula microwave scans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an android device that is both phone and music player?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can achieve this with apps like Next Track or Volumee and a regular Android phone. Or you can buy a phone with extra buttons, but the button mapping function depends on the manufacturer’s Android skin, so the quality varies.

  What, pickle.dump your enormous Numpy array not good enough for you anymore? Not even fancy zlib.compress(pickle.dumps(enormousNumpyArray)) will satisfy you? Are you a scientist or a spectral data photographer?

  Should have used three spreadsheets. Excel tends to run slowly when a spreadsheet has more than a million cells in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't | Dark Mentor LLC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was no mention of over-the-air exploit, so eh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't | Dark Mentor LLC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyway, having direct unprivileged R/W access to platform memory is indeed a security hole, no matter the vendor.

  It is not. ESP32 is an embedded chip with less than one megabyte of RAM. It cannot run apps or load websites with any malicious code, it only runs the firmware that you flash on it, nothing else, and of course your firmware has full access to every chip feature. If your firmware has a security hole, it’s not the chip’s fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tech companies spend effort on a FOSS project when either it’s their main product, or when they have no choice, it’s licensed under GPL and there are no BSD or Apache-licensed alternatives. Contributions are usually done by individual employees in their after-hours time, and most managers see it as directly benefitting their competition.

  Other companies provide nothing, so it’s definitely better than average.

  As another comment said, there is an anime for any specific fetish. This one is for gaslighting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"mono" New Key Visual, PV⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it not about the open-source version of Microsoft Java?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, the kids I know learned C just fine. C is simple, C is all you need for writing kernel drivers, pointers are not that hard if you explain them well, it just feels really pedestrian compared to Python or Typescript.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ultimately a question of money. Older guys with software engineering degrees and fancy salaries can spend their weekends doing free community service in the form of open-source development. Younger people have to worry about job and rent and bills, they simply don’t have that kind of free time.

  Add to that the growing complexity of the software. Something that could be done by an university student before, like writing an OS from scratch, won’t be nearly as useful as it would in the '90-s, because it was already done before, now you have multiple OSes to choose from. And joining an existing software project is hit-or-miss, some are inclusive and some are an old boy club where you need to know the secret rules.

  Thanks for confirming it. It was prerty obvious how the plot will develop, it’s still disappointing.

  Who is still watching this, did it improve yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 5 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched it by mistake, it’s still trash. I recommend watching an actual hentai like Beheneko instead of this.

  That random girl will become the next Demon Queen, the foreshadowing is too strong.

  It’s only like 50 years between Tanya’s Japan and magical not-Germany. She’s way more grounded in her knowledge, it’s all basically the end-of-WW2 military doctrine, and she cannot ‘invent’ better guns or tanks because there’s no technology to produce them yet, and much bigger challenge is not modernizing guns but producing enough shells for them.

  That yodeling was a divine spell in a long forgotten but still widely used angelic language (Bavarian), according to the worldbuilding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! • Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know shit’s going down when angels singing divine hymns start yodeling.

  This trope drives me insane in generic isekai.

  There’s also a scurvy epidemic, which the healers can do nothing about but MC solves woth a proper diet. I’ve read at least three novels with this plot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And I thought Beheneko is the degenerate show of the season, but it has an actual plot compared to this one.

  Cross-dressing Degesu, mmmm.

  The mushroom in this episode: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podostroma_cornu-damae

  I feel like the death cap mushroom would just end the whole series with “Everyone died” conclusion, like some boring Greek tragedy. Too bad it’s not native in ancient China. Quoting Wikipedia:

  • Death caps have been reported to taste pleasant.
  • 30 grams (1.1 ounces), or half a cap, of this mushroom is estimated to be enough to kill a human.
  • Symptoms of death cap mushroom toxicity usually occur 6 to 12 hours after ingestion.
  • In two-three days you feel better, but your liver is already goooooone, and there’s no treatment except for a liver transplant.

  Now we have a horny dragon. This show becomes more cultured with each episode.

  No screaming in this episode, disappointing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World • Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Red should probably be classified as fae. Anything is possible and physical laws do not matter, as long as the power of friendship is strong. That’s some fate-bending fairy magic right here.

  I’m sure Tama will gain Healing Tentacle skill from some obscure monster.
