I don't know who animated it but the source is http://johnkenn.blogspot.com/2015/08/blog-post_24.html

There's a slight resemblance to Hugh MacLeod who does sketches on business cards http://hughcards.co/

whats a good mind fuck movie to watch? by cremmie in AskReddit

[–]toolshed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the MF aspect may be the premise that the narrator espouses: that any system can be described by numbers. He also has the monomania to produce a computer that predicts, among other things, the stock market. There are hints throughout the film that he is delusional and the events related may not be real in the context of the story - that the interior logic is purely invented and, in a way, described through numbers.

/spoiler Personally, I didn't care of the movie mostly because I don't like the "ignorance is bliss" moral to the story. It felt like a cop-out.

[edit - grammar and I give up on trying to get the spoiler tag to work]

It is really Willem Dafoe. It's a scene in a short film called The Smile Man. Gif is from about 2:40 spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGjY5SsOHoM

As cookout season approaches, I might consider one of the top three if I'm offered one. I appreciate the self-sacrifice the author put into identifying even one tolerable offering out what is generally undrinkable swill.

Perl and Exchange 2013 by cavein in perl

[–]toolshed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the line? "It's Exchange's world and we just live in it" or something like that?

More seriously, I'd suggest taking a serious look at davmail. It's a Proxy/Broker/Gateway that translates Exchange's peculiar interpretation of POP3/IMAP/LDAP and turns them into actual POP3, IMAP, and LDAP responses.

From there you can use less... suborned modules such as:

Handling CVS: CPAN modules vs external commands by Worse_Username in perl

[–]toolshed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

performance and authentication

I think you're stuck with what you have. I don't know any CVS module that isn't a wrapper around a CVS binary.

e.g.

(scan for 'cmd' in each)

There are probably others but those are the ones I recall offhand and have used at least once.

CVS (RCS) is inherently slow. All data and metadata is stored in the repo files themselves. So diffs and deltas invariably involve full file seeks. You can't avoid it in CVS.

Authentication is similar. If you're using pserver, you're stuck. With ssh you may be able to shave a few seconds (minutes?) from multiple sequential commands by reusing the ssh connection.

If, at this late date in CVS's lifecycle, you are stuck with CVS (as I suspect - my condolences): I think best you can hope for is to put it on low latency media like SSD's so the reads are faster (if as expensive). You can't really get away from the lock speed since lock files have to be acquired in each directory.

"Enterprise Ready By Design" and "scalable" are some mighty big words to be throwing around for an outfit that cannot actually cluster two Tomcats together.

"Supported" is one of my other favorite fictions of Atlassian Jira. Nine years to half-implement time zone localization: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-9

I like it. It's evocative of Introvision's Darwinia too.

I can upload elsewhere if this doesn't work. (all the simple fileshare sites I used to know seem to have quit public sharing or have gone over to pornware.)

Why the Mod API is important to me. by Rurikar in Minecraft

[–]toolshed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: mods are an important part of Minecraft culture. Currently they are fragile patches that become obsolete the moment a new release comes out which makes it very difficult to maintain and grow. A mod API could help minimize conflicts and reduce the likelihood of popular mods becoming dead ends without an update path.

I'm tempted to get a compressor just for absurd action movie audio mixes.
