Full of WIN.
Prog Lamentations
Is it bad that I enjoyed reading this story? Ivanka Trump's Secret Service roiling her D.C. neighbors. Man, I'd add more no parking signs every time they bitched. Oh, if it were some Democrat, you wouldn't be reading this at all. I'm willing to bet Obama, who lives one street over, has some no parking areas and large SUVs coming and going too. Funny there don't seem to any complaints there.
--Remember all the car accidents Joe Biden's motorcades caused?
I do.
Yeah, I'm keeping score, you fucking one-way Demotards.

I used to buy Seneca cigarettes direct from the reservation. $22.30/carton. Cheap because no Fed taxes. I got a bill from the state for about $3/carton.
Then, Congress passed laws forbidding UPS, FeDex, DHL etc. from shipping them, because reasons. ANo problem, USPS, right? Nope, a few months later they banned USPS from shipping them.

You know, "Heaven's Gate" is not a terrible movie, it is just unbearably long and draggy at times. Watching it episode like on your TV would probably make it bearable.
The cinematography at times is beautiful, and the story is actually pretty good, but it is so filled with so much impediments to the story line it is almost unwatchable in one sitting. No wonder it bombed in the theaters. It is too damn long.

Don't know she put me on the last because I haven't been in church in 30 years+ (weddings and funerals aside). Maybe she figures there's still hope and does it for family's sake or something.
Anyway she blew me away with the line "A lot of hot dogs was ate" at something they held this afternoon. A lot was ate. That is getting pretty bad, downright illiterate sounding. She's made some errors before, but nothing that bad. I mean, damn.

Sully didn't actually die. After he survived being "let go" by John Matrix, he crawled up that hill and reformed his ways. He became a cop, a cop who was spared by John Wick.
He went to Wick's house after receiving a noise complaint and he survived by not inquiring further after Wick said he was just "sorting some things out".

But I am open to the school is trying damage control (ie lying) as well and the media may have actually have happened into a true portrayal by chance.
Or option three, everyone is lying. Can't leave that off the table I guess.

The fact that that principal though the whatever-the-hell thingy was a sex toy tells what she's got on her mind. Why, madam, did you think of that?
I'd say she was my kind of gal to have that stuff on her mind all the time, but I'm sure she's one of these anti-sex types who professes to be agin' it, yet thinks about it all the time, and gets mad at the thought of any one having dirty thoughts.

When I was a kid back in the sixties, I would go to this Army surplus store down the street and by C rations because I could and they were really cheap. They always had a small pack of cigarettes in there, usually about four smokes.

Back in the 90s, OOP and C++ became the new rage. I hated it. I couldn't make myself learn that shit. I was stuck in "procedural" thinking, and now, what do that call it "imperative" I think.
I got to thinking I was probably getting old fogey-ish, an old dog who couldn't learn new tricks.
Then I read, just a while back, that Ken Thompson didn't think too much of C++ either. Indeed, back in the 90s, Bjarne Stroustup (however the hell he spells it) threw a flying hissy fit at Thompson when he said something mildly critical in an interview.
He said he sort of kept his mouth shut after that, but recently he's opened it up a little. He said something like "half of it is pure garbage".
And then I read some Linus Torvalds said. He went on a epic rant against C++ a few years ago. Some dick made some comment about him writing Git in pure old C, and Torvalds went on an epic rant, telling him just all the ways it was bad, and then said if using pure C did nothing other than keeping people like him away from the code, then it was worth it.
It was beautiful. So the fact that these guys, the high priests if you will, didn't think too much of it made my day.

They don't offer a simple old .iso to download with 2017. I found out why. I hate the online installers, and want something I can archive that has everything. Well, I dicked around and learned how to create and offline install package.
Guess what. It was a freaking 20GB+ download. The last one, 2015, was "only" a 4GB+ .iso I think. But 20 damned GB. I was just looking. There is so much crap in there, my Lord.

Hey Berserker, I have a mystery for you. Last Monday, I went to a local bar and grill in East Mesa to have a sammich, and a few beers. Crowd was kind of thin. Presently, this guy comes in sits briefly at the bar some distance away, and then disappears, outside to the patio, I think. Bartender came around, said, "Do you want another beer? That guy who was just here bought a round for the house." Me, "sure."
The guy comes back in, so I wander over, and thank him kindly for buying the round. He said he was with a touring band, and they had just finished a tour, and he was happy to be back on his old home grounds. So, I went back to my chair, and later he buys another round for the house, and he wandered over near where I was sitting. I asked, "so are you a musician with the band, or part of the crew?" He said he was a guitar player. I asked "what band?" and he replied, "Did you watch the Grammys?" I said, "no, I don't have TV." He said, "Well, I have played with Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Eric Clapton, and a bunch of others." Didn't give his name. Guy is about 5' 10", long brown hair well past his shoulders, no waves in it, sort of slender in the face. Sort of soft-spoken, and I'd guess his age to be 50-something.
Wonder who it could be?

Did you know Windows 10 (x64 only) has bash, now? They came up with a new "windows subsystem for Linux" (WSL), which is a kernel mode driver that emulates the Linux kernel. It can run Linux ELF binaries (no X stuff, just command line). They got with the Ubuntu people and made a version of Ubuntu to install with WSL.
Anyway, you've got honest-to-god real bash that you can run on Windows. That made me actually install Windows 10 the other days, when I learned of this. And then I decided to play with VS 2017 under it.

Sounds like the dude could be a hired gun. Some guys work as touring musicians, or studio musicians, and basically just move from situation to situation. I don't know the bands enough to even guess who he is.
I know in the metal world bands sometimes dudes have visa problems and can't get into certain countries, so a "touring" musician jumps in to do certain shows, or a string of shows. Metal bands are usually tight knit, they don't just grab musicians depending on what area code they are playing in. I know other genres seem to be more flexible, usually the king shit is in front, and the rest of the band might as well be wallpaper. Its possible this dude was just a hired gun. He sounds too young to be an original member or a long time member of the bands you mentioned. He could be a recently acquired steady member too, but it don't sound it, but I am guessing.

Alexander Alekhine would show up drunk to play matches and still kicked ass. Not bad for 'one of the greatest chess players ever'.
Chess is not for the old, although the old like the idea of sitting around for a couple of hours playing a game. Chess is a mental game on two levels. First, you have the rote memory of openings and traps. Then you have to have the mental stamina to work through a puzzle after every move. Competitive chess, believe it or not, is exhausting.
I say this as having won 2nd place in a high school chess tournament. I lost my first game and was in the 'loss' bracket. So at game 8, the final game, I was 6-1 and my opponent was 7-0. If I lost, I was something like 8th, or worse. If I won, I could only be second. I won that match. My consolation was the winner did not go undefeated. Believe it or, I still have those matches in my mini-spiral chess notation book, along with that 2nd Place trophy. And, yes, former President Putz, I earned that fucking 2nd Place trophy and am damn proud to have it adorn my bookshelf. That hard-earned 2nd Pace trophy is a big reason why I hate participation trophies.

The -S flag for gcc is kind of fascinating (to the kind of person who finds this stuff fascinating, anyway). It compiles the code but halts once it gets to assembly language and spits that out instead of an executable binary. Utterly useless on a large project, but kind of neat to see what the difference between e.g. if (true) and if (1 == 1) looks like on different platforms.

I said I was going to learn x64 assembly and actually write something in the new 64-bit. I haven't yet. But I always look at the assembly output. I think I can almost start now. You've got more registers, R9 - 15 or whatever, plus more XMM registers than in 32-bit mode.
It is hard for old dogs to learn new tricks. The calling convention changed with x64, for one, and I'd have to burn that in my brain. MASM 64 is a bit different in the syntax, the directives.

In the early-ish 80s I had a Mac SE which ran off two 800K floppy disks: one for the operating system and one for the program and content. I had a word processor called WriteNow. It was simple to use, had enough features to turn out excellent documents, cost almost nothing and required less than 400K of disk space to run. And I never had a problem with it. I think it was discontinued in the 1990s.
I wish there was something like it now for Windows machines instead of the bloated, overly featured dog's breakfast approach that is common today, prone to bugs, and expensive or charging a monthly or annual fee. It took about thirty minutes to learn WriteNow's capabilities instead of spending hours or weeks of class learning Word. An equivalent simple spreadsheet program with basic sort functions would be nice.
I'm not up to date on computer 'stuff'. The last program I wrote was in COBOL and done on a keypunch machine. (Not joking.) I'm surprised there isn't a market for simple computers with a few basic features. I can't be the only one out here that doesn't need the latest gaming resources, integrated everything, and forty-eleven other things I don't use or need.

Fuck that. You can still create an old style local user account, as you did back in the old NT days. But they tried to hide it pretty good in Windows 8. In Win 10, it was actually a little easier to do it. Too many complaints.
But they've got this new "Cortana" thing, a voice activated Siri like thing. You ought to read the EULA for that. It will send every damn thing to microsoft. If you use pen and "ink" input, it said it was even going to "analyze your handwriting". That is, MS' servers were going to take you handwriting and use that for purposes....
That damned Microsoft online account also creates an "advertisng ID" which they will share with their "partners". This tracks every damn thing you do on the web.

Now, that was using the vaunted (by MS' spiel) optimizer with the default setting. Now, the program was simply a main() which called printf with "Hello World" as the string.
This was x64 (64-bit mode) version. The damned optimizer actually inlined the printf function. It spewed out the code for my main, then I noticed it spewed assembly for printf().
It was much much, just a page and a half of assembler. That routine called several other library routines. I was just wondering. Why the hell bother to inline that... But what the hell do I know.

Yes. The source was simply this:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {printf("Hello World!\n");return 0;}
In the assembler listing, it compiled that, then it put the assembler for printf right afterwards. The main code was actually just a few instructions. Loaded the address of the string literal, then put a call instruction for "printf", which it put right behind. You still had a damned call instruction.
Maybe it's something in the header file that tells it to do that, I don't know. But it seems stupid.

And it works the same, too. Download a .pdf, and Document Viewer opens automatically. Plug in my camera, and the image-handling program starts. About the only time I have to venture into Terminal (the command-line app.) is to install new software, and in those instances, usually step-by-step instructions are at hand from the download FTP.

............
Improving my search string: Yep, it's not the optimizer, it's the way printf() is declared in the header. Unless you turn on the correct define string, it acts as though printf() (and many others) were actually defined right in your program.
So that's why the compiler did that.

I should go trolling garage sales for an old Radio Shack computer chess board. I used to have a portable one with the little peg-pieces that I played the hell out of in high school. Plus, it was either merciful or just not that bright; on level 4 of 10 it would offer a good challenge, on level 5 I could beat it once in a while. Plus, there's something about surveying real pieces on a real board that kind of makes it more... accessible maybe? Chess on a screen doesn't really convey what's going on for me.

Older guy is quiet, smiles, few words to say. When they leave, the head of the outfit comes out and mentions that the older guy was this guy:

I had the very strong and distinct impression one could spend most of a day with this guy, doing whatever, and never know anything of his exploits in the war. Probably not unusual for the type.

Not a cheese snob. We like it. Tacos, eggs, by its lonesome for a snack.
Good for little ones who might find cheddar a bit overpowering.

while I like cheddar, colby jack is softer so it melts more easily. works well for grilled cheese, nachos, similar.

usually went with sliced, however, have started using shredded if I am putting something on the sandwich like bacon. holds together better.

well, in theory you would think it would be good, though it seems as though it belongs on the same category of forbiddens as ketchup on eggs.

Virtual machines are great. One thing I did, that some of you fellow old farts might enjoy is creating a virtual machine to run the ancient software of your youth. I had, back in the 90s, late, quite a Rube Golberg set up at the time. DOS, Win 3.11, and then Win 95 and 98. Sometime in there, I went NT, with NT 4.0.
I created a virtual machine, using Virtual PC, that faithfully recreated that old setup. I like Virtualbox now, but it doesn't have any additions for the old Win9x or 3.x line, which the older versions of Virtual PC did. The Virtual PC that shipped with Win 7 will still run it.
Anyway, I can run a virtual machine with that old stuff there, including the old 16-bit compilers and shit.
I've got quite a few virtual machines for several of my old setups.
If you like to play, you might enjoy doing something similar.

Sliced. With a tap of garlic powder or cumin.
Shredded is one of those food hack things that can help if you're working out the right time/temperature for your stove, but if you've got it worked out to the point where you get melty cheese and toasty bread and not soggy bread or burned toast with cold cheese, it's not really necessary.

Sharp (old) cheddar cheese, melted upon a slice of hot apple pie is very good. The slightly tart taste of the cheese blends well with the sweetness of the pie.
Nobody thinks twice about a dairy product like ice cream being dumped onto a slice of pie, so why all the virtual eye-rolls for another dairy product, cheese? But no yogurt; that's kinky.

I have Linux Mint 17.1 on this old Acer desktop here in AJ, and I just recently successfully loaded Mint 18.1 on an old eMachine I bought for $25 at a yard sale. I plan to take that one home to Alberta with me, and see if I can create virtual machines for both Win7 and XP, and successfully run the corresponding versions of the striplog software I use for work. If I can make that work, I will probably build a new PC for work, and set it up that way.

It's not strictly necessary or anything, it just makes it a little easier. Grilled cheese is two things:
- melty cheese
- nicely toasted bread
Using shredded cheese makes it melt a lot faster, so you only really have to concentrate on getting the bread right.

And it was the computer who played for a draw, because I was closer to queening my pawn. So it was a little bit frustrating, but I'll take it. It was better than all the other games I've played tonight.

January, 2003. He was found dead in his locked house, which I have heard was described as a "fortress", in Hamilton, Ontario. For sure, he had an alcohol problem, but he was a fine musician, and genuinely nice to his fans. People who knew him well sort of figure he took his own life, but I don't know if an official cause of death was ever given. So sad. And I am so happy his recorded music lives on.

The MOH Day part brought something to mind that I noticed a while back.
A portion of all "modern" MOH citations include the phrase, "conspicuous gallantry"..followed by a use of "intrepidity"....
And yet.....there are times phrases such as "indomitable courage" an "extraordinary heroism" are included.
The nuance of Uncommon Valor if you will.
Till the next time y'all....
At least be good at it......

The reporting over it has been abysmal. The legislation doesn't "allow" ISPs to sell your metadata- they're already allowed to do so. It simply prevents a change that hasn't taken place yet.

I think you're on to something that needs to be stated more often and clearly. We need to get away from this business of executive agencies being able to make rules with the force of law, with fines and even jail time for their breach, without approval from Congress.

I think we should all organize a little bit of nonviolent resistance against all of these people using metadata...
Make it worthless.
Get a bunch of our best minds together, and make a list of all of the most vile concepts (and unlikely niche products) that a group of individuals as deranged as an internet community can think of, with the only limit on its length being what a web search can handle...
And get everyone to spam Google with the same search. Make searches for anti-fungal toe creams, some of the more vomit-inducing types of German porn, an exactingly specific type of wood screw, and pet iguana food all jump like crazy at the same time.
Make them think the whole world really wants to be sold an Elvis-shaped vibrating butt plug.
They want our searches? Let's destroy their faith in humanity.
