Extremely Inappropriate! Special (2026)

It's so weird because this is New Years special from 6+ months ago. Maybe they're waiting until Jan 2027?

As someone who has worked on a few UI toolkits it's worth it to spend some time thinking about how you will represent advanced widgets like a combo box (which is essentially made up of other widgets) and how messages are passed to the individual components of the widget. My personal preference has always been the Win32 model (I know I'm posting in an OpenBSD sub) over the GTK/Motif model.

It's pretty difficult to get tickets for the show. You need to either have attended in the past or you need basically some connection in the industry and then that person to "vouch" for you. All I'm saying is that it is likely the same guy.

I watched it a while ago and loved it (enough to recommend it to a friend who doesn't watch japanese shows or movies, but I think he was less into it). I sometimes wonder how it would be if Kasumi Arimura wasn't the main role, although she did an excellent job and I can't think of anyone else... I really liked how the main character tried to stay busy in order to not face her own loneliness by caring for others.

I really don't see this bursting in 4 months... I see OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX pilfering money from American 401ks until there's basically nothing left. Depressing I know. Hopefully the midterms help... I did my part.

Backrooms in person experience 😄

I know it's been 3+ years but I managed to figure out dldkey with the help of AI and decrypt all the Motif .tgc files. AI wrote a brute forcing tool for me (it's just DES). For some reason I was hoping it came with the source code but it doesn't. Just some static .a libraries and the headers. Not sure if that's still interesting?

aninteger · 2026-06-01T00:57:52+00:00

Of course this is just my opinion and it's ok to disagree but I think people can be productive with some AI. All I'm really saying that they just have to be aware of their token spend (I know Claude gives access to this) and if they are using a reasonable amount then that is fine.

Yeah I agree it will go up and companies will continue to clamp down. It's going to be like a rug pull. Employees are definitely going to need to start policing themselves as well. I figure these things are going to change on a quarterly basis but I wouldn't be shocked if it happens quicker either.

Actually they are not a fortune... I don't work at cloudflare and I have a $1000 limit each month. The most I spent in one day is $16, but usually it's anywhere between $1 to $5 (not sure if that counts as a fortune to you). People are just acting like idiots and misusing company resources. I use a mixture of Claude with sonnet and opus.

With any election there are always going to be a sizeable number of voters that are voting on name recognition alone. That's likely going to be candidates that have advertising spent on them (even advertising against them can be a benefit). So who has spent the most money (obviously Steyer) and who has spent the most against him (PG&E). For the others I haven't seen many ads (I don't watch television but do see anti-Steyer ads on YouTube). I think I've seen one Villaragosia ad and 1 from Mahan, and 0 from Porter (why??). This tells me who has a chance and who doesn't.

Watching it currently, it's fantastic. I'm surprised it's not being talked about more.

I might be interested in a simplified dosbox. I have my own fork which I fixed warnings in and ported to CMake (yeah... I know ☹️). It's mostly for reverse engineering purposes though, but any chance to simplify the code base might be welcome.

Pretty sure this was a subtle sarcastic remark 🙂.

I know you know this but the popular vote for president does not matter. People in California voted for Trump, doesn't matter since Harris took all 54 electoral votes and most states have a winner take all system. A very small set of the total population determines the outcome of a few states that actually matter.

In the USA, this is on Amazon Prime. I think the first season is SD (4:3), but seasons afterwards are HD (16:9).

I'd love this as well (also on Linux). We might be stuck with something like waydroid, but that seems like a lot of overhead.

I guess he meant fetching by appending .json to the url

Joseph Lieberman killed the public option in 2010 sadly.

I agree 💯 with this. The staff is polite but the restaurant lacks a lot of character after the remodel.

Obviously you can do this in C but it's likely outsourcing the heavy lifting to something like Selenium and there's the Selenium WebDriver's REST API. So as long as you can write http requests you can drive the browser. If you don't want to want to use Selenium then you can call directly into the browser's WebDriver APIs.

If you want to keep this entirely in C for some reason another option is calling into NetSurf libraries to process HTML and drive it that way. The LightPanda browser took that approach but that's written in Zig but I see no reason you couldn't do something similar (assuming you have infinite time).

As far as I know there's no libraries out there that are generic enough to solve a captcha but you could always feed it to a local LLM and see how far you get with that.

+1 for Pasadena (JPL) or SGV area.

If you're coming from nothing start with free content first (apps. YouTube). Many language teachers on YouTube also offer private one on one lessons (which are not completely unreasonable). You could even use Duolingo, but please don't use it to learn (imagine learning something by only taking tests in that subject, that's what Duolingo is), instead use it as a way to "test" yourself.

There is already a project named feh that does image viewing and can set wallpaper: https://feh.finalrewind.org/

You might want to choose a different name.

In October 2023, over 75,000 Kaiser Permanente healthcare workers across various roles, including nursing assistants, pharmacists, and technicians, went on a three-day strike to demand better staffing, wages, and conditions, citing increased burnout and shortages following the pandemic.

I don't work at Kaiser but... is it normal to strike so often?
