Does it mean you’re actually right when you get it to proclaim “Holy shit, you’re absolutely right!”?

I did get it to say that once, after I prompted it to be mean and argumentative and make me defend my idea. I did defend my idea, but I’m still not sure if I was right or not.

As a fellow resident of Bend I felt the same way when I saw this.

As a native Bendite but not current Bend resident, seeing that word with a capital letter always makes me smell juniper and sagebrush a little bit.

Reminds me of Mel Chin’s art piece Revival Field[0], an attempt to remediate a hazardous waste area in Minnesota with plants. Apparently it is still going after more than 30 years.

Indeed, bash already has socket access via /dev/tcp/HOST/PORT and /dev/udp/HOST/PORT, which allow opening a socket and reading from/writing to it as if it were an ordinary file.

IIRC that only works for clients and can't be used for listening.

Also IIRC there is a bash loadable module that implements server sockets but that can't be relied upon if you're just shipping bash scripts meant to be run without the end user preparing the ground before running it.

I mean, file handlers exist in Linux. That would be so cool if you could add a file/directory watch to an http endpoint/resource

Though this is implemented in bash itself and only works in bash, not in other programs.

The number of unix environments w/o bash available is surprisingly small thou

It means you can't just call open('/dev/tcp/blah') from a program and get a TCP socket though, unfortunately

I think there’s a misunderstanding of the data _here_. The underlying data are indeed a DEM, distributed as a single band geotiff file. There’s no R, G, or B, just elevation. The linked tutorial is simply how to take those data and convert them to a format that can be visualized on screen _using_ R, G, and B values derived from the formula you posted in a child comment.

Looking at this reminds me strongly of texthon, but with a less attractive syntax. A quick skim through the source appears to show a similar use of eval.

Too bad texthon is essentially unknown and unmaintained, as far as I know. I worked on a project with it for several years and it always worked really well and was much more pleasant to use than something like jinja. Maybe I need to make a modern fork…

Anyway, anyone interested in cog should check it out as well.

Texthon seems like a bog-standard templating langage, nothing to do with cog but in the barest most remote commonalities of executing code to output text.

You’re right, I realize now that cog doesn’t process an input template but the actual output file, modifying it in place. Perhaps that why it took so long to gain popularity: that fact seems somewhat non-obvious from the documentation. Even the examples on a cursory glance are not obviously not templates. At least to me.

Re-reading the docs I realize that sure enough, they say very clearly what it does. But I think it just doesn’t click immediately.

Now that get it, I have a few problems coming to mind that I can solve with cog that I didn’t have a great solution to before. So I’m jumping on the bandwagon.

I don't know enough about this so maybe dumb question, but couldn't you use DSP to correct phase between microphones if you knew their relative differences?

Yes you can. Another problem though is that the microphones need to have a common timebase, unless you have More Magic.

I was thinking the same thing as I read the on the description. I see no reason that a separate VPN namespace would be vulnerable to this attack. The compromised device would be able to spoof packets with whatever IPs it wanted, but they would never be received in a context where the tunnel interface would be directly accessible and therefore the device would never see a response from that address, even if correctly guessed and probed.

I am currently working on a masters in geography with an emphasis in GIS/remote sensing, but through my work I have come to learn I have a love for programming and development. I want to pursue a second masters in computer science, but I currently cannot afford to continue to be a student. My wife is also a student, so two people with no income paying exorbitant tuition is not possible to sustain. That why I am posting here.

My experience is limited and I only really know python (I am learning C++ right now), but I am driven and willing to work hard to learn any language, platform--anything and everything necessary to be successful. If someone here would be willing to offer me gainful employment and direction, I would prove myself to be valuable.

All I ask is for a chance, at least just a meeting, so you can get to know me and see that I am serious about doing whatever it takes to succeed in this field. If you think you might have an opportunity for me, please contact me at the email above.
