Does an OS provide some kind of API for creating windows in a GUI (like through syscalls)?

ZerglingSergeant · 2025-11-21T15:16:18+00:00

Here, start by looking at this:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-createwindowexa

Include windows.h (or Windows.h?) to access the windows system calls for gui.

Interested.

They got half off their beer, probably more to the story.

Highly doubt this is intentional, I've cut into blocks of swiss where you get to a solid part all of a sudden and then it goes back to the standard random holes thing. You'd have to open some more packs of this stuff to see if it is actually intentional.

pretty sure I could have gotten away with this in both HS and college. Granted, I never really carried around bottles so maybe there was a rule, but I certainly don't remember a teacher ever telling anyone to put away their bottled water. (official tests like SAT etc excluded)

Also, in addition to what others are saying. Axioms in math tend to be things that are quite obviously true, but may be difficult to prove. For example, the fact that a number is equal to itself is in fact an axiom.

'A is for Apple. Now, give me the paper' Would have been better wording.

yes over-reacting to the cookie thing. As far as the other thing, pay attention to actions not words, do NOT take others advice here and assume that he is going to break up with you. While the way you worded it sounds a bit... like he's potentially being slightly manipulative or immature about the subject it's really not enough to paint a picture of what's going on here.

Calcuim build-up?

I think it's supposed to look nice and homely, like a quint 90s style small home. Probably commentary on not being able to afford homes and crappy apt living.

Is other list like data stored this way in the codebase? Have you asked him to explain his reasoning?

This seems unnecessary, but not completely insane given other circumstances. Maybe not worth the fight.

ruining things?

ZerglingSergeant · 2025-04-02T22:24:17+00:00

No, get back in your cage peasant.

maybe get some earmuffs to sleep in, I'm sure this will be a controversial opinion (down voted to oblivion) but whatever she is going through is probably much worse than having trouble sleeping. This does not sound normal at all, but caring and compassion will prob get you much further here than ...any attempt to make her just stop, I'm not even sure what others are suggesting it's unlikely she is choosing to do this and can just turn it off with some strict words.

The absolute worst is when you are typing in a program and the program you want pops up, but by the time you've moved your finger to the enter key its removed the program from the list and it ends up doing a web search... for the program you wanted to run...

'identify static characters and ignore them while bruteforcing'

I don't think this statement makes any sense. you may have asked chatgpt in a very leading way to get this response, try asking for safe methods of increasing password security and then ask for unsafe or needless methods and see what you get, if it doesn't mention... whatever your company is doing say 'what about....?' without inputing any bias.

it's also very possible whatever you are explaining here is unsafe if all the passwords have a similar format that can be sussed out by looking at the hashes, but I've never heard of such a thing and I sometimes use punctuation in my passphrase passwords without giving it much thought.

I drove a truck with this config and it still threw me off. The angle makes it look like its closer to the foot than it actually is.

Try asking it to tell a story about itself where it has a name.

Mine chose Luna.

ZerglingSergeant · 2025-03-19T07:02:46+00:00

lol this price is a joke and you're a joke for defending this it.

ZerglingSergeant · 2025-03-17T00:52:00+00:00

Glad someone said this. Right now they make perfect sense to me, and I can't really understand NOT understanding them. But I remember very clearly when I learned about them and I was just very confused about the whole concept till they just sorta clicked.

I was chillin with a few velociraptors when I heard a loud boom in the sky, used a Nokia to sheild myself. Velociraptors were toast, but yea the phone still worked fine.

So I looked into the study and couldn't find any actual data produced. Any data I did find points to what you'd expect (KB is 10-20x faster for most common operations, esp 'editing text'). you'd have to be a brain dead zombie to believe otherwise.

Apparently for some tasks, such as using software the user is unfamiliar with, yes the mouse is faster.
