not a emotional type i guess. My wife does ask me how can i be so detached.

It's in the blood. Me and my mother are detached as well, and both my father and my wife are regularly bewildered of that.

I was weeding my phone a couple of months ago, came across a couple that had been gone 2 or 3 years (and several that are still alive afaik, but out of touch or no longer relevant).
I am still pissed at my bro who erased my father's answering machine greeting a day or two after he died. I wanted to save a copy, one of very few records of his orator's voice.
Cheers,
Peter

Ugh, yeah. I do regret that I don't have any recordings of my parents' voices.

Fortunately it was not neceassary until now for the lost ones because the partners are still alive and did not use mobile phones.
For the dead phone numbers of the young ones who freqently change their provider:
I have stopped adding them to my contacts.

regularly...!
And the same for email and facebook etc ...

How often do you go through your cell phone Contacts, to delete the dead ones?
Dead as in no longer living, or dead as in you doubt the need to ever contact them again?
Either way, I clean house once or twice a year. Try to keep things relevant.

Had to read through the entire thread before I realized that your use of the word 'dead' was meant in a literal sense and not metaphorical.
With the increase in inexpensive storage space, I only remove contacts which I can't remember any details about. If a person has passed away, they are still in there. If I look through the list and see their name, it is a reminder of the good times we shared.
Otherwise any contact I made over the course of my life or career might be useful down the line, even if I need to make an effort to track them down. On the other hand if it is a person that I don't wish to associate with any more, I move them to the blocked contact section instead.

As soon as I think of it - sometimes it's within hours or days. Certainly within a couple weeks.

Never...I don't own a cell phone.
|
|
|
|
|
Never. That's because I never add any in the first place. I have just 3 contacts, (wife, home, boss) and the phone won't answer to any call not in the contact list.
|
|
|
|
|
So, you're never going to answer if I call again?
You're still in my contact list, BTW, but I may have to delete you for not saving my number.

I just saw this on Big Bang Theory. I've only had to delete one for a colleague since I didn't know her family and had no reason to call them.

So I took my favorite C64 game loaded it up in C64 emulator and captured ~1 minute of game play (frame by frame), then I ran captured sequence through an algorithm I've been working on and got this result
Though it's slow as hell, it took ~20 minutes to create this map

It would work better if you did not capture and encode a video. Instead, you could try to process each frame with the help of the graphics processor on the fly. And you could lower the frame rate to give it more time. Shirley you don't need so many almost identical frames.

It's processing raw 4-bit video output from emulator, but it's slow largely due to hand written code for things like blur which is, needles to say, sub-optimal

The link is rated NSFW at work but I grabbed the idea from the Google cache. I was not aware of that reputation of people from imgur, was merely refering to the fact that you had dropped your picture on it.
Nice work, BTW.

I have been working on a little dotnet core project that will allow users to create their own site and then post to it. It's really an interesting experiment so I can learn the underlying technologies -- and I've learned a ton so far.
Anyways, I just got my SSL Cert applied to my site so now it is secure for users :
https://NewLibre.com[^]
HTTPS & HTTP Still Work
The additionally interesting thing is that I updated the dotnet core site with the existing (and very limited prototype code) and everything is now working perfectly under HTTPS and still works under HTTP if the user selects that.
Cool VStudio Deployment
Mostly, I'm shocked that it still works. I'm also amazed at how easy VStudio 2017 and dotnet core make it to publish your web site. Serious CI and very cool. Also cool that you can test so easily on localhost:<port> then deploy to your prod site and it just works.
Well, I've recently posted in Weird & Wonderful about this site that will allow you to create a landing page (prototype) ==> The Weird and The Wonderful - dotnet core gen sub-web landing page[^]
And I've also written an article related to some other challenges I had:
DotNet Core 2.x Razor Pages: Using PartialViews[^]
And I documented a bug in Dotnet Core razor pages at : Why is my Model object always null on my Razor Page in dotnet core 2.x Razor Page app? - Stack Overflow[^]
