For many years malicious PDF files had the shameful honor of being the number one way people’s PCs got infected, and it’s because of bullshit like this.

“Surprise, here’s some Java code to execute on your personal computer without asking!” isn’t being done by anyone who is actually your ally.

We’re just discussing how shitty a shitty person has been toward you, at this point. There’s no good pro-social reason to deliver you an app while calling it a document.

Do we think it’s a virus? Probably not, but maybe. So we think there’s a tracker? Certainly. The average organization shitty enough to build or use this technology layer has over 500 separate relationships with companies that track you.

Someone tried to put a tracker in this PDF.

Whether people like me made it too hard for them is up for analysis.

I guarantee you that someone tried.

They’re not good enough at hiding this stuff yet, to feel confident lying about it, so it likely is disclosed in the fine print somewhere, if you’re feeling patient enough to read all of it.

Just archive projects that you don’t want to talk about. That’s pretty much all “archive” is for. It’s a message to the world “I don’t use this anymore. Don’t ask me about it.”

Repeating what others have said, and adding a bit:

• it’s fine to have a bunch of repositories.
• “pin” the ones you would most like to talk about in a job interview
• “archive” projects that you’re completely done with
• be aware that pinned repositories and whichever repository has the most recent activity is probably the ones that I - an interviewer - will pick to ask questions about.

The inflatable dinosaur carrying a kid costume and it’s variants are still great. I feel like I saw more amusing variants of it this year, but I don’t member the details.

I saw a couple kids wearing matching Jason costumes. I hope they had a great time jump scaring their friends with identical twin shenanigans.

There was a group all in matching striped prisoner outfits. I noticed they took care to walk in a line as if chained together.

There was a version of spider-man I need to look up on Marvel Unlimited. It looked like a mix of the Iron-Spider and one of Miles’ costumes. It looked great, and made me curious if Miles has an iron spider storyline yet.

Nice. I hope everyone took the time to make every dirty pun that the costume demands.

It’s so great.

And the scene is even better on a rewatch.

I love it! Thanks for letting me know.

Yeah. They do still sell Frisbees, though, at least.

Does “Breaking News” on Dropout.tv count…

I have both the official dock and some random USB C multi-connector. The random one is far more reliable, in my experience.

There isn’t a general, easy solution to the N-body problem.

Lol. Yet.

No doubt it will be discovered by a tool assisted speed runner.

Oh, yeah. You’re right. When mine happened, the whole system rebooted.

How is your cooling setup? Do you have any heat monitoring plugins running?

The only sudden crashes I’ve seen on my Linux boxes lately were due to heat lingering too close to my machine, and eventually my cooling setup not keeping up.

I’ve found that mapping a big dumb button to “Enter” works nicely for adding drama when invoking a big old batch script process.

Wow. That’s quite a family history.

This is terrific. More folks would be more excited if they realized how much less hassle Podman is than Docker.

Residents can visit the city’s website to download a form, fill it out and bring it to City Hall, where staff will notarize and mail it. The city covers the cost, which could include postage and paying a notary.

Johnson said her neighborhood is tight-knit and everyone she knows on her street has had their covenants discharged. While she and her husband aren’t planning to sell their home soon, she said they felt the step was an important one.

Wait, they made another one?

I like these. Neat.

I bet it has an amazing sound system!

That makes sense. Did you also set the path to Nvim in settings.json? I had to do so to clear at least one error.

I also sometimes get that “disconnected” error too, but the have it work fine. I think there’s a race condition and it raises the error right after it starts, but then connects anyway, once everything else is set.
