Just finished watching season 3 of Resident Alien. What the what now.
I really like that show, it has wonderful oddball characters and the actors are superb (Alan Tudyk's facial gymnastics are priceless).
But from mid-season 3 on, the storyline has been getting more tangled than leftover spaghetti. And I think there's been at least four separate cliffhangers in the finale. 😵💫
Did anyone think that might increase the chance it's getting renewed? I have doubts. 😑
@mwichary haven't seen it mentioned yet: the original Doom font?
@BenjaminHan @hector not a physicist - but I'd say extraordinary claims usually require extraordinary proof, not a YouTube video and a bunch of press releases 😑
Just saw someone brag about getting a paper accepted after the 10th (TENTH!) resubmission. 🤯
What an incredible waste of resources. This paper has probably collected somewhere around 35 separate reviews, no doubt with a fair bit of opposing views and change requests.
If there only was a venue which doesn't have to meet some arbitrary rejection rate and aims for continuity of reviews between revisions... 🤔
*cough* @jovi *cough* 😉
TIL I learned that the kids' gaming keyboard has a hidden "feature": if you press Fn+W, then it will internally swap the WASD keys and the arrow keys. That may be useful for some gamers with strong key layout preferences, but if you happen to press that combo by accident, then good luck figuring out how to switch back. Took me 5 minutes of hitting random Fn-something combinations. 😑
I have an outdoor webcam that takes one 4k JPEG every 2 minutes and dumps it on a web server. Now, I'd like to have an easy way to browse through that stack of images - 760 per day. I cobbled together a little bit of JavaScript, but before I start adding all sorts of bells and whistles to it, would anyone happen to know some existing JS library or code snippet that already does this?
@zwlevonian Sort of a boardgame, in which the kids collaboratively simulate a very simple CPU.
Update: I survived 😅 and it actually worked (mostly 😉)
Alright, I'm about to try out a brand-new, untested computer science learning activity. With 20 pre-teen kids. On a Friday afternoon. Wish me luck 🤞😬
PSA: let's say you're running a non-privileged HTTPS server, e.g. Matrix Synapse on port 8448.
The canonical solution for getting it to listen on the standard port 443 is to setup a full-blown Apache or Nginx reverse proxy.
That may make sense for more complex setups with multiple servers, but if all you want is to forward that one port, then here's a literal one-liner:
sudo redir -n :443 :8448
Bäm, problem solved. 😁👍
@alarith Sorry to hear! And I would absolutely escalate this to the paper chairs, this sort of behaviour poisons whole communities 🤬
@jonny Definitely the second one. And IMHO the most important precondition is "no three-letter agencies are out to get me". 🤷
@TEIConsortium ok, you had me confused there for a moment, because there's more than one of you 😉 https://tei.acm.org/2025/

@dantheclamman Pfff. Transparent greenwashing, to distract from his buddy Saruman and their extensive logging operation. And don't forget that butt-ugly resort complex he slapped right on top of Mt. Doom. 😑
@cocktailfubar I'd actually try this 👌
@cstross has a certain Klingon vibe 👌
@Unixbigot feeling that one so hard 😑
@davidho academic achievement unlocked! 👌
