La única pena que tengo es que no se proceda así con más explotadors.

Here we go again. Literally seeing japan in the olympics made me reread [Antiquity Link](semprini-stories.blogspot.com/)



No matter how still you’ve been, he’s…


In everyday life we encounter two kinds of forces: energetic forces and entropic forces.

When you hold a rock you feel it pushing your hand down. This is an energetic force: raising the rock increases its energy, while lowering it lowers its energy.

When you stretch a rubber band, you feel it pulling back. This is an entropic force. You're not mainly increasing its energy as you stretch it. You're decreasing its entropy! You are taking the tangled polymers in the rubber and forcing them to line up more neatly.

We see here a fundamental truth of thermodynamics: when the temperature is constant, the world wants to minimize its 'free energy', which is energy minus temperature times entropy. So the rock pushes down to reduce energy, but the rubber band pulls back to increase entropy.

Now for a puzzle. When you compress a cylinder of gas, it pushes back. Is this an entropic force or an energetic force... or maybe a mixture of the two?

Yes, the force is due to the pressure of the gas. When you compress the cylinder, molecules of gas inside are bouncing against the cylinder's head, pushing back. That's a perfectly fine explanation at the microscopic level. But you can still ask: are you increasing the energy of the gas, or decreasing its entropy... or both?

Think about it a minute, and then I'll tell you. Someone told me the answer, but I decided it's not quite that simple, so I'll explain the answer I came up with.

If you can handle some math, check out my blog article about entropic forces. If you can't - fear not, the answer to the puzzle uses essentially no math!

@fireborn well, the pixel font is large and pretty legible at any resolution, keyboard and gamepad are fully rebindable, and there is a toggle for reducing any flashing visual effects

Cómo engañar a la empresa y fingir que estás trabajando

Hay una canción yanquie que me viene a la cabeza:

Boss makes a dollar,
I make a dime,
that's why I shit
in company time.

El jefe se lleva un dólar,
yo diez centavos,
por eso voy al baño
en horario de trabajo.



I've just seen the unpossible. A broken #nokia phone. I think I understand how Cockcroft and Walton felt when they split the indivisible atom.


Me acabo de enterar de que, si uno está pendiente de que publiquen algo en el BOE, no hace falta entrar todos los días a mirarlo.

Existe este servicio boe.es/mi_boe/ que permite guardar búsquedas asociadas a una alerta. Si se publica algo con la cadena de texto que queramos, nos mandan un e-mail.






Penelope passed away peacefully in my arms tonight. We made sure her last few hours were wonderful. I'll describe more later but it involved going to the park, meeting a toad and dark chocolate mousse.

This is the worst day of my life, she was everything to me. I was her Daddy and she was my bouncy, feisty little girl. She knew she was a rough and tumble princess and she acted accordingly. She was always in charge.

I loved her with all of my heart. Every day she was the first person I saw and the last person I saw at night.

I know I'm going to be posting a lot over the coming days but words will never be able to describe the love I had for her and she for me.

it's been a while since I taught Advanced Compilers and this time I thought I'd start out having the class read a few big-picture papers about the field.

some ideas I had include:
- Reflections on Trusting Trust
- Impact of economics on compiler optimization
- Death of Optimizing Compilers
cr.yp.to/talks/2015.04.16/slid…

what else should be on this list?

in reply to John Regehr

ok so @yosh suggested "A Catalog of Optimizing Transformations" which of course I should have thought of clear.rice.edu/comp512/Lecture…

then there are a few fun things to read about Proebsting's Law such as gwern.net/doc/cs/algorithm/200…

#WhatsApp for #Windows lets Python, PHP scripts execute with no warning

Granted, Python needs to be installed on the system prior.

Meta says they will not bother to fix this, despite maintaining a built-in list of potentially dangerous file types (ex: .exe)

@xogium apparently this has been reported before. :ablobcatgoogly:

You would think they’d just add these to the list they already use, it’s low hanging fruit. But seems like it’s not worth the effort because it’ll “only” affect a handful of users.

in reply to Avoid the Hack!

@xogium oddly the same story goes for accessibility-related things, so this is an area in which security and accessibility can intersect in a strange way, too. Until there's mass-exploitation of this (and it's a bit limited of course with requiring Python to be in path to begin with), they may never get to it, it'll stay in Backlog for months, get punted to another team, go to their backlog, maybe a spike gets created over it, yada yada yada


Reminder to any fellow #interactiveFiction authors planning to enter #IFComp this year: you must submit an intent to enter no later than 1st August. Game files then due 28th August. Everything is running a month earlier this year. Don't leave it too late if you want to enter. Good luck! ifcomp.org #TextAdventure #GameDev #IndieGames #TextGames #IFComp2024


I got my partner - who is non-technical - a Windows laptop for Christmas in 2023. A fancy one with Windows 11, TPM blah blah. Clean install.

It has Defender, Smart App Control enabled etc so I wasn’t concerned about the security.

Anyhoo, just looked at 7 months later and Defender is disabled, a ‘free’ AV called RAV is registered which appears to be a fake Chinese AV, Smart App Control is disabled, her traffic is routed to a Chinese VPN, her browser is Opera GX (a Chinese owned one).

in reply to Kevin Beaumont

She installed exactly one application, a movie player. It hijacked her entire system. This is why Recall is such a fucking bad idea btw, the idea Windows security is fixed is a joke - home users have no chance against this stuff.
