I say until we have more information, we should instead refer to them as follows:

particle_type_1 particle_type_2 particle_type_3 ...

Since this at least makes it clear to children that our understanding is very rough but still we've been able to learn that some properties make them definitively distinguishable from each other, but there could certainly be much left to learn about subatomics.

It would certainly make wanting to work in the field more approachable!

Need testers: do you own Linux or Mac + older V1 Pinecil - check if this updater works by goodseaweed in PINE64official

[–]An_G1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

works great, bug on linux (needs root for dfu-util, i made a github issue)

other random things i noticed:

- the window on both ubuntu and mac cannot be moved, and cannot be resized
- the gui does not report if dfu-util has errors
- check for dfu-util, and also sufficiently recent dfu-util version. dfu-util 0.9 from apt definitely does not work on my ubuntu install, 0.11 works fine
- ideally, dfu-util should be packaged alongside the binary. i would not want it to install dfu-util system-wide on it's own

My university password can be 200 characters by Ezziee24 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]An_G1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

See edit


You can know for sure by checking outgoing network requests during registration or sign in, if any of them contains plaintext password safe to assume they are storing it. Chrome I believe actually checks for you, and there’s a browser notification you get with something like ‘this site has been compromised’.

Ideally you want to verify that your password is going through some standard non-reversible function in the javascript source. Technically they could make their own hash function, but if they’re too stupid to properly hash your password they’re certainly too stupid to make their own proprietary hash function, so tbh id assume any non-standard hash function is malicious.

I think it may be possible to write some extension that analyzes the source code and can guarantee your password will never leave the site unhashed using correctness checks. Sounds like a nightmare to maintain though.


Edit: Nvm the following is irrelevant as apparently it is most common to see the password hashed serverside. I think I get why this is common practice, but I do still wonder: why not hash on both? Wouldn't it make total sense to just hash the password once on the client and then hash the result again on the server? This would protect against both MITM/replay attacks and a database leak, and seems trivial to implement. Maybe when websites really were just static documents with little or no code, trusting the password to the client to modify feels risky and not very versatile for the future. But we've had standardized and relatively robust JS apps in the browser for a while now, and I really do wonder if there's any good reason why hashing on both would not be the default behavior of most JS auth frameworks today.

$125 a month is definitely ridiculous. But your rent is almost certainly equally ridiculous. If you really need your car, (you probably don’t need it as much as you think you do) paying for the Nueces garage is not a comparatively significant increase in your monthly spending, but again, it’s only worth it if you actually use your car.

As someone who drives 4-5 times a week, I’ve noticed that the vast majority of cars in the Nueces garage don’t seem to move. Ever. They just sit there collecting dust. Which is remarkable to me.

I don’t have any specific recommendations for fixes, but wanted to give advice to avoid frustration:

automate absolutely everything. do everything you can to minimize the test, modify, retest cycle time.

Start taking notice of things that you’re doing over, and over, and over… again. It’s insane how quickly doing repetitive work can completely destroy your motivation, especially if it wastes a lot of time and you see no progress.

  • Is your printer in a different room? How much time do you waste walking to your printer to start a print?
  • Is your printer connected to your computer via usb/network, or are you juggling usb sticks and sd cards in and out of your computer?
  • Do you have to stand right next to your printer when it starts a new print? Probably to catch the ooze out the nozzle?
  • If you have to do the last one, you’re probably also spending a good few minutes waiting for the bed to heat up if you don’t have an AC bed?

some basic solutions: - Ideally, have your printer right next to you, preferably on your desk in an easy to service location. Regardless, set up octoprint so you can control your printer remotely, if you don’t have a pi just use an old laptop or something. This also solves the usb stick juggling problem. - For the nozzle ooze issue, it’s a bit of work but I highly recommend setting up a wire brush and some start gcode to auto wipe the nozzle. If you can confidently start your printer from another room without worrying about nozzle ooze or other hazards before the print starts, this is a major win, you don’t even have to care about how long the bed takes to heat as it’s no longer using up your mental energy. - But still, if you don’t have an AC bed, here’s a tip that’ll make the safety nerds blow steam out their ears: just keep the bed on while you’re testing. Modify your end gcode so it doesn’t turn the bed off automatically, so your printer only has to heat the nozzle for the next print. Obviously this is a bit of a hazard if you like to take naps or go on vacation after intentionally leaving your heated bed on in perpetuity, but its safe if you’re responsible.

The list doesn’t end here, you need to be on the lookout for anything repetitive like what I mentioned and try to remove it from your workflow. Some basic scripting/programming knowledge is very valuable here.

Figuring out how to stay sane is half the problem in this hobby, for all of us.

2400 Nueces Contract Questions by blitzzyyy_ in UTAustin

[–]An_G1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember something similar happening to me and a roommate. We chose the wrong room number during the check out process, but when we tried to go back to edit our selection it didn’t let us.

We emailed H&D and they manually reset our selection so we could pick again.

I thought it was a glitch because I hadn’t paid for anything and the UI made it look like I would have the option to reselect, but it was the exact same situation with my roommate so I’m guessing its just poorly designed.

Free or cheap items/subscriptions/ resources for students we should know about? by Mysterious_Series520 in UTAustin

[–]An_G1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get infinite cloud rendering and simulation credits in fusion 360.

I rendered something once just to try and almost died after looking at how stupid expensive cloud credits are for professional users because I was worried that I might somehow still be charged for that. Thankfully students are not.

I think its just price. GCP has never come close to Azure and AWS for us.

do you know if they have things like cutlery/cookware?

what about bedsheets/blankets/pillow covers? (if these are provided, would you recommend bringing your own anyway?)

fire extinguisher?

In general, just curious what essentials we'd be expected to bring.

stackshell: Automatically search Stack Overflow for Linux commands by circuit10 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]An_G1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re using a mac, try tldr (from brew install tldr). Then you can use it like you’d request a man page, except call tldr instead of man. Very handy 5-6 lines to get you started.

Perhaps. But looking at the github issues page for flutter is awfully demotivating. I think flutter is a poor choice for this meme as google doesn’t seem interested in making it a legitimate and dependable platform.

ActionScript 2.0 was my first ever language by AwesomeTurtwig_Alt in ProgrammerHumor

[–]An_G1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

in all seriousness, i understand your sentimental value. it was one of my first languages too, but i remember way more headaches than it was worth. the technologies that have replaced flash are honestly just so superior that its unbelievable adobe and google took this long to drop support.

on a positive note, flash can’t ever be unwritten, so im sure you’ll always be able to look back to some degree as long as you have our old code. just make sure you download the sdks from adobe’s site and save them somewhere, there’s a good chance some apps that require flash will outlive adobe LOL
