I love that channel. I believe that me following that, InRangeTV, Forgotten Weapons and Brent0331 got me on several international warning lists though.

Add to that the fact I was once looking for parodistic Hitler videos but YT algorithms didn't discriminate between those and actual Nazi videos and my love for heavy metal, I once had the YT home populated like this: firearms, hitler, metal, firearms, swords, metal, hitler, hitler, firearms...

Yes, my YT lists are always a bit freaky.

Currently I seem to get masses of SSIS videos (I think I've watched one ever), lots of Brian Eno (I'm a huge fan of Eno but I don't think I've ever watched him on YT), loads of chess stuff (again, I'm pretty sure I've never watched a chess video on there or anywhere else).

Never do I get the stuff that I actually do watch on YT (almost exclusively music).

Windows 7 extended life

Microsoft just announced that due to its continuing popularity, despite all the obvious benefits of the new and improved Windows 10, support for Windows 7 will (reluctantly) be extended through to 2038 when it will fail due to the Y2K+38 bug as all the dates in various supported devices roll over to zero.

"Support beyond 2038 is just not physically possible" was a quote from a Senior Product Manager this morning.

However, networking between Windows 7 PCs and Windows 10 PCs will not be supported as the current code changes in Window 10 to deliberately break this mixed-version interoperability will continue as planned in the next phase which will see any machines other than those running Windows 10 become invisible to machine network discovery.

More updates are expected later today, 04/01/2019.

If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read.

Y'know, MS themselves have already stated just a few days ago they weren't gonna be playing these juvenile games this year.

People should learn from that.

Posting articles here is basically forcing me to dust off the source behind my personal libs and document them.

This is unfortunate, as I prefer to code in codes and riddles.

Witchcraft that comes too readily is less appreciated and more dangerous.

It's easy until you need the code to do something useful, quickly.

I've never read it, but it could be I heard it from a dev who heard it from a dev.

I tried Pascal around the same time I experimented with drugs, and for similar reasons.

On Slant there are heated discussions on whether Pascal is only a niche language nowadays:
