Damn sid meiers may have to update the rankings in civ and bump old Dan quale up a few ranks sounds like he isn’t as terrible as he once was

I mean you’re not wrong but I’d argue you can get more interesting cve’s using a higher more performant language such as c++. Where there are are ways to include CVE 's from C and introduce new ones to each level of your program using inheritance.

Simpsons did it already…

But really look at project Westford created a bit of stink

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_West_Ford

Been ages since I had to recompile a Linux kernel to deal with hard real time (via RTAI) but I recall emc2 being a great alternative to all the fussing around recompiling as some one did all the work for that.

I also recall using this resource . Eventually I just made a class for the threads I was using to wrap POSIX and RTAI calls for periodic tasks and chose which was the underlying method on a compiler flag. If I was on my desktop I could proof of concept most things in POSIX and then test on the RTAI machine. If I need to revisit this again I may dust off my old class and add freeRTOS stuff to it so I can prototype on Linux then try to squeeze it on to an esp32.

@folkrav is right here

And I’ll posit that you likely wouldn’t like this ability to exist in the first place.

Let me walk you through a thought experiment. Any system that requires a verification step is likely tied to identity and putting up a gate to get in based on the identity or using it to get a token to access it ties you to that activity. Ok great let’s not let the kids see porn, but the exact same approach can be used to prevent or put a chilling effect on people seeking lgbt content, anti Vax content, unionization information,church gatherings, crypto schemes,academic research, Israel, Palestine, or anything really.

The internet was never intended to be a secure place it was intended to survive a devastating nuclear attack and keep information flowing. Tacking on arbitrary mortality gates is Orwellian and not how the internet was designed to function. Maybe these guys need to a seperate network (without blackjack and hookers) just for the content you want kids to see and not tell them about the internet till later because these proposed measures are like outlawing the letter q because you don’t like that it leads to the word question.

Now I want that version of Hamilton! Quick get Lin-Manuel Miranda I need some catchy tune about the bridge where Hamilton figured it all out.

But who is the villain his kid asking if he figured out how to multiply vectors ( been a while since I read the story about this )

Ah just don’t renew station licenses or make the liscences more expensive and offer reductions on this new license hike if news broadcasts are locally produced and at noon six pm and 11 pm

Honestly thank you I’m starting to get old and cranky about the acronym issue.

Ok what the fuck is SM sadomasochism? Cause I read the article checked the thread and there are no definitions or context clues…

Now a large portion of the audience will read your comments coming with my flawed conclusions. And it’s at least somewhat funny

Define acronyms For Fucks Sake (FFS)

In my defense this is what i see on the first page,

then its

then its

but yes you are right it appears close after the eventual headline. i missed that and i probably was annoyed by the scrolling to get to the darn article too

Na I’m pretty sure the Boeing issues are due to outsourcing and shifting blame to subcontractors.

Ok define acronyms FFS (for fuck sake)

DEI = diversity, equity, and inclusion. Seeing what the hell is hidden behind the letters makes easier to see what this is about

ah so that priority email i got from bell who got it from CCCS about my personal gitlab server being vulnerable was extraordinary,

BTW if you haven’t got it update it it scored a 10 on the CVSS https://www.cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts-advisories/vulnerability-impacting-gitlab-cve-2023-7028

It would be funny if people just sent a letter to their mp every time they accessed those sites something like:

Dear honorable insert MP name

In advance of bill S-210 I am writing to inform you of my internet usage habits what follows is a list of hyperlinks to videos I have accessed today:

3. …

I hope this information helps you in determining my sexual interests to aid in your reelection campaign.

Sincerely xyz ABC of qwerty riding

And in the smallest print capable of your printer ( if you would like to unsubscribe from this mailing list please consider your vote on this matter)

No it’s not paranoia if they are actually out to get you.

If they are out to get us it’s just baffling to me. The internet was originally designed as a communications tool to survive large parts being damaged in the event of a major disaster/attack.

It got hijacked by people first who used it to share less and scientific information and more for the lack of a better word human information. Then corporations came and wanted to extract value from it some how. So we had the Dotcom bubbles and pop-up ads.

Now I don’t have the hindsight now to succinctly explain what happened next but then Facebook became a dominant social media platform. And everyone gave them info about themselves contrary to the previous advice about never using your real name on the internet.

Now we have governments world wide actively trying to police porn a good 50 years after it existed on the internet. 20 years since it was freely and widely available as streaming video? What’s the goal trying to tax free porn somehow?

I think the genie is out of the bottle at this point.

It’s wild because back in the day they told us don’t let anyone know your real name or where you live if you can help it. Now it’s let’s see your driver’s license to verify you before you can look at cat videos…

But how much of this is actually new trying to build a world order and how much is just ignorance in the capabilities of the technology of the members of the Senate and House of Commons

Ok I don’t understand this push to block porn at a country wide level.

Who wants this and why?

I honestly don’t see why. Most to the time they tell you follow the money but I can’t think how blocking porn helps anyone but VPN providers, and old school porno mag and video publishers.

Maybe this is a fundamentalist puritanical thing? But how is it getting such wide support? Are there that many but hurt virgins in the Senate and House of Commons?

Argh so many questions and this feels so absurd.

Yea this is a murky area, there are things that are clearly acts of engineering namely civil engineering projects bridges, factories, etc., that fit very well with the way the title of engineer is sanctioned province by province.

It gets murky for me with transportation things, here I still believe they should be scanctioned engineers but I don’t feel the provinces are the best ones to mandate who should be a licensed engineer for something that travels at 700 kph across the country, I think that’s more a national level interest.

Messing things further is in other countries there isn’t a special meaning to the word engineer and it’s missused in our sense of context. The title is tossed around in some places for things like sanitation engineer and software engineer, where what these folks are doing is clearly not acts of engineering but the title is given In lieu of increased pay.

Electrical engineering is smack dab in the grey area if it was work on a big power plant sure traditional act of engineering. Designing firmware for a mass produced widget may not be. But if the job is being advertised in the US they’d both be looking for an electrical engineer. And a lazy hr person here may be looking for an EE in Canada skipping over candidates that don’t have the certificate from the provincial engineering body but can do the job as good or if not better.

Again this confusion is avoided if everyone knows Engineer is a very loaded word and need a to be handled with care in the confines of Canada, but we as Canadians need to understand others don’t give the same care to this word.

The PPC guy is probably playing this up to get him free publicity at this point as he should be painfully aware of this from his undergraduate courses beating it into I his skull.

That said it’s not a bad idea to examine the details to see if updates can be made to definitions in the provincial acts so engineers can better serve the public and we can avoid policing the use unnecessarily. I also think we should have a federal level dealing with acts of engineering that normally cross provincial boarders

Argh way to long winded owell enjoy the wall of text

Probably just want to play one of those heritage minutes videos before you start a video.
