So this just happened with my ISP, i have no words...

The fact you have my password in front of you in plain text is fucking terrifying and i know you do because i used to work for an ISP.

Winning a stress ball with a stress ball.

So I'm working on a computer vision project that grabs video from my webcam and detects faces in each frame. Earlier yesterday morning I was capping out at 30 frames per second, which is what I believe to be the max for my webcam. As the day became night and I was wrapping up my work on a portion of the project, I noticed that my newly compiled version was only getting around 8 frames per second. Confused, I looked into my frame grabbing + face detection code.

"Maybe I can only detect faces in a certain region of the image, based on where the face was in the previous image?" No, still 8fps. Hmm.

"How about I lower the resolution of the image, that would definitely help!" I tried that, but no speed boost came either. What??

I start to dig deeper. Maybe I'm not linking my libraries correctly, and it's using an older library I compiled. So I recompile that. Nothing.

"Am I low on resources?" I close out of all my other apps. Nothing.
Okay, wtf. Now I just comment out the face detection code entirely, and only grab webcam frames.

8fps. ?????

Suddenly, I get an idea. I get out of my desk, walk over to the doorway of my room, and flip the light on. I sit back down, and run my code.

30fps.

The stupid webcam switches to "night mode" when it detects low light, which restricts its ability to output frames at high speed and caps at 8fps. Damn, I felt like a fool 😂

I think the best I saw was a co-worker scripted a file so that every time the manager typed the computer would play painful screaming sounds and then thank her when she stopped typing.

I'm just beggining to learn to code, and I found this awesome community where people rant ..
Such a motivation,, 😁

I thought the antenna actually did something... nevermind

I'm pretty sure Shakespeare didn't say that.

Google Insights updates their image score algorithm. Now all our website scores dropped from ~90 to 20 - 50. Guess who needs to resize all the freaking images. Fuck me.

Just found this in some website code.

Purchase made.

Need these for work.

What's the best thing to do the day before your deadline you ask?

Personally I've found discovering you've done the whole thing wrong is not the best idea...

I just hate it when an update for an app is available and there's no changelog. Seriously, tell us what this update is about!

You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

When error messages have self-awareness and fix problems by themselve the world will burn but I have less issues to care about.

The only time I don't confuse push/pull is when using git.

The real random generators!

Today my oldest son is 8 years old and with pizza and cake we discussed how to hack his friends tablet, star Wars vs star trek and how to hijack wifi networks when friends parents won't give password.
And he told me how to evade detection and bypass the schools filters that he figured out alone.
I feel so damn proud.

I know that feeling. Poor you :(

well, sorry Dave

What only relying on JavaScript for HTML form input validation looks like

Developer: We have a problem.
Manager: Remember, there are no such things as problems, only opportunities.
Developer: Well then, we have a DDoS opportunity.
