oh wow, thanks again for the networking guide Beej!

You're welcome! :)

I just tell them no thanks. sometimes they get visibly upset but one place was pushing to do it every 6 months, it just makes no sense unless they're scamming

using microsoft authenticator I just ran into this recently and searched to find it's a known issue that microsoft has no announced plan of fixing. Strange to see it pop up here separately, I guess it's becoming more common. I knew to cancel the dialogue and manually add the account without the QR code to workaround it but I'm sure plenty of people will have their accounts locked because of this

I need a good authenticator app, I guess. I'm using Microsoft's and have a lot of different stuff in there. I may have run into this already but don't know it.

Try 2FAS - it works without cloud, can import from few other apps (sadly not from Microsoft one) and can export from and import to a file. Works on Android and iOS

We still have a common word for this: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lunatic

Months ago this app was randomly removed from every windows 10+ machine. Many people lost video projects that they were working on with no warning or explanation. When searching for a replacement microsoft would redirect to something called ClipChamp. This new app is no replacement unfortunately, it cannot import the old projects from the video editor and it is filled with dark patterns trying to get the user to sign up for a paid subscription. Anecdotally it is much less intuitive to use and offers no customization for where to save the videos. Please follow the arcane instructions in the link to restore the old application and automatically import any old projects that were saved on the harddrives of you or your family's computers.

ASAN really is a blessing, any modern C code should at least give it a test run

Found it interesting that I couldn't find results for Knuth (The Art of Computer Programming) or SICP on here. Maybe the casual way we refer to these texts is hard to detect as a reference to a book, or their importance is just implied community knowledge?

If there is no search result for the book name then it just means it's not in my current book database (which is limited).

Do you mean the training data? So each book title must be present in the training labels, and new titles can't be learned automatically?

i though sicp is most most mentioned book on HN. but sicp doesn't look like a book name.

It seems a lot of people don't know about the jump in quality between the headsets that came out. The original oculus was leapfrogged fairly quickly by the HTC Vive, and then that was eventually superseded by later headsets like the pimax, Valve Index, and Quest. If you haven't tried any of them I definitely recommend testing one out, the difference is very noticeable.

Not only watching videos but even reading text is much easier in the latest headsets. Unfortunately many people have only tried the older or commodity VR solutions and think that's the limit of the technology. This is largely due to the price and physical setup required for some of the better headsets, but already there are some great setups out there.

Maybe? We also tried the same thing with the vive and it still was like looking at a potato IMO. Maybe the very latest devices are much better - I very much look forward to trying these.
