Randomly I just recalled that Quake 4 existed and I did play it and the Enemy Territory was a thing. Before now I completely blanked.

I made a 6510/C64 CPU simulator over the weekend, just by looking at the opcode descriptions in the Commodore Programmers Reference Manual and implementing their behaviour running ROMs from the internet. It acts on each opcode in 1 "tick", because I'm not actually an 8 bit machine that needs to set address lines and clock data out of a chip etc, I just have a 64k array of RAM bytes that I map the BASIC + KERNAL ROM over at the relevant addresses and read/write as appropriate.
I coded the behaviour for each opcode as it appeared at my program counter, and because there's 151 out of 256 "legal" codes, whenever I ended up at an address with an illegal opcode or if I ended up jumping to memory $0000 it meant I had a bug. It definitely did not run properly first time :P Now it actually runs the initialization routine and gets right into the BASIC loader and continually scans for a keypress [there is no keyboard input or screen output being displayed yet]. I can even map a cartridge ROM into $8000 and the KERNAL detects it and runs that code instead.

Man, I live in the whitest city in Australia in a state in which, if one were to put up a map and throw a dart at it, one would probably hit the location of a massacre of Aboriginal people, so it's hard not to feel like it. I'm an immigrant and I live and work on land that was stolen from its original owners and they didn't even get a Treaty to bring up after they got fucked.

I think it was a perfectly sensible idea to have as the movement's representative on the most-watched cable news show in the world an (checks notes) unprepared self-absorbed transgender sex offender.

Learning how to perform Buffer overflow attacks is bringing back traumatic memories of polytech from a million years ago. I hated programming because I couldn't do the shit back then, therefore i hated it. But now, it's pretty rad.

I completed my [original method] factoring algorithm over the weekend - 22 years in the making (since I was 18) - it has a 100% pass rate, although there are still some optimizations to make before it's full speed (ie not single threaded Python, probably NodeJS so I can make it distributed).

I remember you talking about this when i was a 16 year old maggot, that's pretty awesome!
What are the use cases with this knowledge? Some juicy cryptographic ting? |

Best case, it breaks RSA encryption (or other schemes based on the assumption that factoring large integers is computationally difficult).
Worst case, it's a bunch of ideas that are worthy of being published as an original contribution to mathematics, and could potentially be developed further. Either way, it's a lifelong goal out of the way.

4K Monitor Review
So I got a 4K monitor, because the numbers were bigger.
Not gonna say I have buyer's remorse necessarily, but it's certainly not an all round upgrade. It's a bit of a trade-off. More resolution = more real estate? Well yes, but you have to scale everything at 150% to read it, so you don't get the effective real estate you expected - or you do at 100% but you have to get right up close to use it. There's also an issue with things scaling and not working "nicely", such as: If anyone knows a Windows/OS level fix for this, with scaling still enabled, I'd appreciate hearing it. If it's just an application level (VLC in this case) problem, I guess I just have to wait for them to get around to fixing it. I've only had the monitor since this morning, so I'm sure there'll be other apps with graphic incompatibilities - I'm aware that some music software struggles with scaling the GUI, so I'm expecting to see some of that. Weirdly the "Always on top" doesn't work in VLC with scaling either. I might just turn off scaling and push my head forward. Similarly, web pages with GIF buttons are all scaled up and pixelated, and the rendered fonts are very noticeable next to the smooth "native" fonts. Also, if you have a second monitor attached which is not scaled, then there is funky window behaviour as you move one from scaled to non-scaled - it arrives huge as it crosses the border then jumps to become small as it makes its way onto the screen. Kinda strange, and not ideal. I might get rid of my vertical monitor so I don't need to be reminded of this problem. Conclusion: If you don't have 4K, don't stress, and check out someone else's before you buy one. It's not perfect, at least not on Windows 11 with scaling. It's probably better with Apple computers (like a Mac Mini), since Retina is a native part of their product lineup, so apps will be aware of high resolutions/scaling and I assume work more consistently. I think my old setup with two 1080p monitors, one landscape, one portrait is a better display config, but I'll give it time.

Thanks man, at least it gives me hope that that particular issue is solvable. I've resorted to Windows @ 100%, and browser zoom instead. I'll try updating VLC, or check out this potplayer.

Ah choice, it only happens when you change the scaling while it's running. If you reopen it, it figures out the scaling properly.

These people complaining about banks taking money from the sale of one house for payment on a mortgage of another - are they really so surprised and have they not got an agreed Section 92 priority amount?
