Use
sudoedit(orsudo -e) to make sure you don’t mess up permissions and alsoexport EDITOR=vimin your shell to use a superior editor. - Comment on Defeating a 40-year-old copy protection dongle – Dmitry Brant 1 week ago:
That’s atrocious. That would mean that even if you had the dongle, a bad connection would just wreck your project without telling you. Nice, Autodesk, how very pro-consumer of you.
- Comment on My thousand dollar iPhone can't do math 1 week ago:
He also had it work on a Mac, an iPhone 15 and an iPhone 17. Only his iPhone 16 got the internal LLM state wrong. It’d be interesting to know how a failure like that happens. Presumably most iPhone 16s have a working NPU. Apple would surely want to get to the bottom of this but I doubt they would be open about their findings. Maybe they do know but the solution is ‘buy new iPhone’.

If you’re given a new tool and told to use it in your work, you need to be given time to learn how to use it and find problems. If your boss gives you a new (not to mention unreliable) tool and less time to work within, you’re both going to have a bad time™. - Comment on How are people discovering random subdomains on my server? 4 weeks ago:
Dang, it could be the upstream DNS server passing along client queries. Maybe the ISP?
In that case not even curl wouldn’t be safe unless you could ensure all queries only resolve on your gear. Either use a host file entry or local DNS server.

Have you sent the URL across any messaging services? Lots of them look up links you share to see if it’s malware (and maybe also to shovel into their AI). Even email services do this.
- Comment on Audio dongles and the ghost of USB 1 5 weeks ago:
Ironically, the conclusion is that the stupidly high claimed sample rates are a good indicator that these dongles won’t be afflicted by this bandwidth-scheduling problem. Though they can have various other issues.

- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 9 months ago:
I see. Surely that means that the source files have to be structured in a certain way then. If a design for a piece of print media was flattened to a single rasterised layer, or a video project had all the effects baked into the clips, a freelancer could deliver in the right format, but that file would be much less useful than if every operation was preserved non-destructively. I would think some artists wouldn’t want to just give away how they achieve certain effects.
I don’t know if that’s much of a thing in creative fields, or if there are conventions on things like keeping text as text, not editing it as vectors or pixels.

Ah, I see. I guess that varies by client but you wouldn’t want to limit the work you take like that. That’s a difficult situation to change.

Why would a freelancer need to follow an industry standard? Do you have to share project sources with clients in proprietary formats rather than just the final output formats?
- Comment on 4 fundamental forces 9 months ago:
There are still opposite charges - each colour has an ‘anti’-colour. So R+
R=colourless G+G=colourless etc. This is how mesons work (pairs of quarks). Baryons are triplets of quarks but there are also combined tetra- and pentaquark states also.You can think of anti-red as being cyan etc. but the colour theory can be more confusing than it’s worth.
- Comment on British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies 9 months ago:
Infrared lasers aren’t visible. They’re still higher frequency than radio waves. To say that visible light is visible radio is to say that the sky is green, just that it’s predominantly blue coloured green.
