My USPSA rank is public: I'm terrible with pistols. I haven't shot in competition for over a decade. This is the kind of project that tickles a couple of my nerves and might get me back to the range.

I took my mom there a few years ago, it is a really nice setup. If you’re in town, highly recommend.

Guy's world records get deleted due to changes in atanh over time


As that's a pretty long video would you mind giving a short summary of what happened? Was it a world record in a game?

yeah one of the trackmania games -- which feature a nominally deterministic physics engine, allowing for replays from a recorded sequence of inputs... except the physics engine relies on libc transcendental functions. players are generally on windows, but backend servers doing anti-cheat validations via replays are running linux. this resulted in false cheat positives when the linux server was running glibc prior to the glibc rounding fixes... and as a result the guy's world record kept being flagged as a cheat. it's a pretty good video with a lot of detail on how they narrowed it down to specific glibc versions/etc.

Pretty sure that's atan.

He wants to evangelize, spread, and support FreeBSD adoption; this free labor helps in this.


I wonder if Jeff Lawson (bovine) is involved.


The route from Tallinn to Warsaw to Kyiv was pretty good! Nice tool.


A friend in Palouse has found several heritage apple trees and has spent at least a decade grafting and working with them. It’s an interesting hobby to watch him experiment with.


T-Mobile consists of at least five distinct networks depending on when your carrier was purchased, last time I was talking with some of the network security guys in Factoria. It’s been four years - they may have converged some of them.


Also failing here in the Los Angeles area. Used to be on Sprint before the acquisition. Probably location dependent


I got the failure message in San Francisco.

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I had a T-Mobile SIM card I bought in Seattle in 2010 and was carrying from phone to phone for years, but I recently replaced the SIM because I heard newer t-mobile SIMs can do better finding 5g coverage.


I preordered one, I got it, and I sold it. They are active on Discord. Why did I sell it? The shortcomings of the platform made me realize I should just go with UI, despite my reservations about the company.


when I worked there, I described it as a navy of lawyers with a dinghy of engineers.
