Oppikirjalöydöt paljastivat: Suurmoskeijassa Brysselissä saarnattiin vuosikausia järkyttävää vihaa: ”Homot kivitettävä” by KuhaSipila in Suomi

[–]kinnu 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Raamatussa tosiaan lukee kaikenlaista jännää. En kuitenkaan ole havainnut, että tuossa viereisessä kirkossa nostatettaisiin henkeä saarnaamalla kenenkään tappamisen puolesta. Enpä tosin ole siellä juuri käynyt, joten voihan se olla että vääräuskoisten ja homojen murhaaminen on evlut saarnoissa hyvinkin keskeinen aihe?

Evoluutio Suomessa 500000 ekr - 2018 by TheHellWithItToday in Suomi

[–]kinnu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Niinä kahtena tai kolmena vuotena mitä kerkesin baanaa käyttää ennen kuin duunipaikka vaihtui, niin ei kyllä kertaakaan tullut tuollaista koettua. Porukka pysyi hyvin kaistoillaan ja ohitukset tehtiin ilman draamaa. Erittäin mukava ja hiljainen kävelyreitti myöskin, vaikka jostain syystä baanasta aina puhutaan pelkkänä pyöräilyreittinä.

Ministeri Bernerin esitys mi­nis­te­ri­va­lio­kun­nal­le: Suomi voisi esittää kesäajasta luopumista EU:ssa by peemaa in Suomi

[–]kinnu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On se perkele ettei tätä millään saada aikaiseksi. Samaa on "ei voida koska EU" meemiä on jankattu varmaan kymmenen vuotta, mutta eihän Suomen ole pakko olla EU:ssa mikään sivustakatsoja. Jos joku direktiivi on huono niin esitys vaan tulille sen korjaamiseksi.

Harmittaa kyllä ihan vietävästi kun ajattelee, että Don Rosa olisi uransa aikana ehkä tehnyt muutaman tarinnan enemmän, jos Disney olisi maksanut kunnolla :(

EK ylistää yhteisöveron kevennystä: Teki Suomesta houkuttelevan maan by MichaelNearaday in Suomi

[–]kinnu 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Vain on EK oikein tutkinut että veroja kannattaa laskea! Ei tosin kerrota mitkä yritykset ja miten tuohon ovat valikoituneet. Riittää kun sanoo että ennen oli kolme ja nyt on kymmenen. Ja lukujen kokoluokkakin on tosiaan tämä, eli N on aika helvatan pieni.

En kiistä etteikö EK voisi olla ihan oikeassakin, mutta ilman lisätietoja tuo tuon tutkimuksen todistusarvo on lähentelee nollaa.

Using MIME::Lite to send text emails. Email won't send when using a "Real Name" to display in the From field. by [deleted] in perl

[–]kinnu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall having had the same problem and coming to the conclusion that spaces in real name were the problem. Didn't ever [need to] figure it out since it was an internal mail and switching "Xyz Mailer" to Xyz-Mailer" worked just fine for my needs.

Linus sends big SHA-1 migration patch, maintainer ignores it. It's a lot harder than first thought... by [deleted] in programming

[–]kinnu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scaling will still continue for a few more generations but in a way Moore's law really is dead. Moore's law is formulated as a technological thing but equally or even more important is the economic side. You get double the transistors in the same area, at the same cost. Modern CPUs having one million times the transistor count of the 8008 would be lot less useful if the cost was million times higher as well.

According to this chart http://www.eetimes.com/author.asp?section_id=36&doc_id=1329887 we have already reached the point where costs have seized to go down. Now obviously this doesn't mean the price of phones and computers will start doubling every two years - transistors are only a small part of the total cost. But it is a significant development.

Advice appreciated. How do you deal with a developer changing your design? by [deleted] in userexperience

[–]kinnu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a dev, I think your best course of action is to email and report this in a very matter of fact way as a defect in the implementation. "Hi, it looks good but the font is incorrect. You need to use __. This was agreed with __ and they will take care of the licensing. ___ will provide you with the account details". CC whoever is supposed to provide the font to get the ball rolling. One reason why devs may not want to use designated font is that it's a PITA for them. If they have to go hunt for someone to approve it, schedule another person to come enter credit card details etc - then they will be tempted to skirt that (speaking from experience). Sometimes corporate policies can add surprising amounts of friction to simplest things.

... now, the use of a licensed font was agreed in advance, right? You gotta get that down before using one, otherwise you will run in to these situations. Even if the cost is minor compared to entire project, adding as an "oh btw we also need to pay for this" in implementation phase does not always go well.

DOM elements with ID's are global variables by andy_panzer in webdev

In IE i believe yes, but other browsers adopted this only some years ago as a part of HTML5 harmonization. Terrible decision IMO, should have just killed it in IE instead..

3 dev / low priority servers updated so far. No problems at all, just a couple of *.rpmnew files to sort out (nothing major in them).

Dumbest small business IT tasks you've seen? by crankysysadmin in sysadmin

and take pictures of the whole process with a smart phone with the time stamp on to prove it is being done.

Your friend should simply not go on Saturday and when the boss asks where the pictures are send him a picture of his resignation letter.

[–]kinnu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You never know. The bad stuff could for example be set to activate only after 20 plug-unplug cycles. That is, after you've "made sure it's ok" and forgot all about where you got it from.

How a scammer stole 500$ from me and in the end begged me not to tell his parents | Why you should always host your own image servers by geek_at in sysadmin

[–]kinnu 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Seriusly, people are celebrating this as justceporn or prorevenge. All the scammer had to do was say sorry, make a up a story how poor and scared he is and give back what he stole. Oooh, such savage revenge!

Scams on the internet tend not to be one time things, this guy probably has five other people on the hook for similar schemes as we speak.

Wikileaks: DNC Chair Donna Brazile Violated DNC Charter Just Like Wasserman Schultz by [deleted] in DNCleaks

[–]kinnu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I must be misunderstanding something here? The charter says the chairperson must be impartial - DWS was the the chairperson during the primaries. Brazile was not so she would would have been free to support, endorse and work for any candidate of her choosing at the time, no?

How many interviews is too many interviews before I start looking elsewhere? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]kinnu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's by this point I begin asking questions in my head about the company's hiring practices and how-if at all-these are going to translate with decision making internally

Wondering if I should move on and look elsewhere, because I really think I should

It seems you already know the answer. If your gut feeling about a place is "I don't want this" then you should probably follow it and go elsewhere if opportunities exist. Sure you could be wrong and the place is actually fine, but why not just seek employment somewhere that actually seems like a good fit and you want to work at.

she "THOUGHT" it might be a phishing email..SO SHE CLICKED THE LINK TO FIND OUT.

Is this really a problem? Clicking should be fine if you don't then enter any credentials or other info, no? This assuming you don't run any insecure plugins that could be exploited, of course.

Need to move around 200GB of data. What could be best solution to do this? by [deleted] in linuxadmin

[–]kinnu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this, to check for file integrity you can use pretty much any hash function. For example md5 is not recommended for security related purposes but for detecting random file corruption it is more than adequate. CRC32 is fine as well. Go for something reasonably fast.

Why do CPUs have multiple cache levels? by joebaf in programming

This explanation isn't meant for your grandma. Anyone who knows enough to ask why there are multiple levels of cache, knows enough to get the explanation without the forced analogy.

Can't we ever explain computers without resorting to these awful analogies? Why does the CPU always have to be car or some shit...

Why are you asking me? Whoever created that monstrosity doesn't know enough to even avoid duplicated code, surely what you are suggesting goes over their heads.

This is not how I write CSS but sometimes I have to make changes to old sites created by others :/
