Loopholes: what they are, how to find them, how to fix them, and a big list of generic loopholes in games.

I was curious about the 51 Franklin Street address in the GPLv2 license notice so I wrote to them as they said

В одно окно смотрели двое.
Один увидел дождь и грязь,
Другой — листвы зеленой вязь,
Весну и небо голубое.
В одно окно смотрели двое.

The decline in PVT performance suggests a cumulative effect of sleep loss across the 6-week study. Subjects did not accurately detect their declining PVT performance, and a motivational factor could not explain this decline.

Making my sleep schedule work for other people

TL;DR: yes but not much

A maintained rolling release DOS distribution with a package manager. What an incredible technology

Only WorldWideWeb, some versions of Netscape and SeaMonkey ever supported the editing. WWW was the only non-modal one, I think it was a worthy design pattern. SeaMonkey still maintains Netscape's composer.

Better SQL through typed, composable query fragments.

Drew has learned of the pleasures of public bookmarking. Sadly, through linkhut; I don't like its design. I ought to tell him about the wonders of Betula immediately!

It actually makes the case that CO₂ is the dominant control on Earth’s temperature

Или вот под Москвой какой-то ивент. Пишут, что не для новичков! Я ни разу вроде бы вслух на Эсперанто ни с кем не разговаривал, смешно будет. А может надо?

After reading Blue Period, Nina got inspired and invested time into learning how to draw, following guidelines from a book. She shared her learnings from the journey. Very inspiring! Can I draw? Should I learn how to?

A die-hard tiling WM user tried a scrolling WM and never looked back. I don't look back to tiling WM:s too, but I don't use a scrolling one. I want to look into that one day.

If you choose tasks properly, you'll be perceived as productive. I'm not in the position of being very selective at my job, but I think I'll be there. Quite unlike my open source projects!

With easy tasks, failure is shameful, but success is unremarkable. With hard tasks, failure is understandable, but success is epic. Easy tasks that seem hard are the best.

I wonder how these bug-hunts I do at work are perceived. They are actually hard for me, but what if they seem easy for others?..

An exciting journey with Forth. Read this. The author gave up in the end, by the way.

Jag has started up a paid instance of SyncThing. I like the name

Kazan, Ufa, Moscow and Saint-Petersburg will be like Russian south in 60 years. Which is not that bad, actually. But some parts of the world will be heated so much, that there's nowhere that can be compared to it.

There is ranking too!

Played it with Optozorax. Works well!

Drew unhappy with LLM bots DDoSing Sourcehut

This is a tarpit intended to catch web crawlers. Specifically, it's targetting crawlers that scrape data for LLM's - but really, like the plants it is named after, it'll eat just about anything that finds it's way inside.

It works by generating an endless sequences of pages, each of which with dozens of links, that simply go back into a the tarpit. Pages are randomly generated, but in a deterministic way, causing them to appear to be flat files that never change. Intentional delay is added to prevent crawlers from bogging down your server, in addition to wasting their time. Lastly, optional Markov-babble can be added to the pages, to give the crawlers something to scrape up and train their LLMs on, hopefully accelerating model collapse.

THIS IS DELIBERATELY MALICIOUS SOFTWARE INTENDED TO CAUSE HARMFUL ACTIVITY. DO NOT DEPLOY IF YOU AREN'T FULLY COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
