Developer's Corner / Guide To GIT (Git Magic)

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 21, 2018, 07:43 PM »

No idea when this was written, or if it's still relevant, but I'm on StumbleUpon (Bored out of my mind) and it came up, so I figured it was worth posting:

www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic

Preface
Git is a version control Swiss army knife. A reliable versatile multipurpose revision control tool whose extraordinary flexibility makes it tricky to learn, let alone master.

As Arthur C. Clarke observed, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This is a great way to approach Git: newbies can ignore its inner workings and view Git as a gizmo that can amaze friends and infuriate enemies with its wondrous abilities.

Rather than go into details, we provide rough instructions for particular effects. After repeated use, gradually you will understand how each trick works, and how to tailor the recipes for your needs.

I should also point out that if I was ever recorded without my permission (spoken conversations) by a person I was conversing with, I'd likely remove their recording device and insert it into somewhere they would find uncomfortable.

Just sayin'.

He might already have done it since I doubt if you know what he looks like.

Doubtful, as somebody might indeed recommend something but it will be 5 years before we find out it wasn't good enough.

I don't know why you bully me all the time....
-kalos (April 21, 2018, 07:24 PM)

Nobody is "bullying" you...they offer you a HUGE amount of help on every thread you post, but are met with hugely frustrating replies (that can take literal years before we find out more information).

In terms of this thread...if you think me calling you a "creepy fuck" for wanting to secretly record people; is bullying, then you might want to reevaluate your life, because secretly recording people is creepy as fuck

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 21, 2018, 09:37 AM »

OK! I installed FreeKeylogger and it seems now that Windows Defender doesn't quarantine it.
However, it has one MAJOR flaw: it doesn't allow you to seach for typed/clipboarded text across any date! You have to choose a specific date and search!

This ^ and the fact that a keylogger is basically always going to seem suspicious to an AV system (I'd be worried if it didn't...).
-Stephen66515 (April 20, 2018, 03:13 AM)

Exactly but it seems that most of the AV programs are either intelligent enough to know when something isn't doing something wrong until it does it or too dumb to know ... which is it?

And he specifically said MS Defender.
-4wd (April 20, 2018, 05:01 AM)

Well, I just downloaded the last one suggested...ran it...MSDefender doesn't give a shit about it - didn't pop up a warning, I didn't have to add it as an allowed application, my firewall didn't go apeshit and my dog didn't bite me...soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....not too sure what is even going on in this thread anymore

Omg giant cody is brilliant! You could probably fix him up to look a crap load smoother by using some thick gloss as an undercoat then just repaint the detail points over the thick gloss.

Living Room / Re: OK - lets get to know each other... who are you, what do you do, where from?

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 14, 2018, 07:49 PM »

Hello,
I am from the United Kingdom and I am a student now. You know, I am fond of programming and technologies in general. I tried myself in a lot of different deals like painting, writing, photography and so on and so forth. And right now I am sure that I was born for C++ programming and for creating a software. So I am learning cybernetics, maths, and programming. But I didn't stop painting despite the fact that I paint not really often. Also I am familiar with Java and a little bit Python, but C++ seems to be more interesting.

General Software Discussion / GodMode - Windows 10 Tip

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 14, 2018, 10:55 AM »

I went to university today and during class I heard a peer talking about the troubles he was having trying to located a certain setting within Windows. I suggested God mode to him and when the entire class thought I was joking I realized that this "hidden feature" isn't as common as I thought it was so I thought I'd share with imgur and maybe it will help out fellow IT guys and gals! (or even the average user)

First create a new folder

Secondly you are gonna want to name the folder the following
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (for Windows 10 Creators Edition and above, use the code below
)

Then press enter

Win 10 Creators Edition and Above

*Update. Right-click desktop, select New --> Shortcut, and paste the text below:

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

To change the icon, right-click the new shortcut, select Properties, go to the Shortcut tab, click Change Icon, and paste the text below:

%windir%\System32\imageres.dll The icon is the 6th from the left in the third row. Or use any other icon you like.

BOOM, the folder icon will change to a cool little control panel

Open it up and enjoy all the settings windows has to offer!

Hope this helps someone!

If you do try it out, could you please leave some notes about your experiences with this calculator, for posterity, on this thread? (Thanks.)

@Stephen66515:
I'm confused....this (SMF forum) has nothing to do with the CMS (Joomla) - They are 2 entirely different applications and moving from the static website to Joomla wouldn't affect SMF

EDIT: Hey, the rearranging of the images was a trivial and easy exercise in this new CMS!
(Was a world of pain under the old CMS...)
Thanks, @mouser.

There was no old CMS O_O
-Stephen66515 (April 09, 2018, 01:29 PM)

Ahh, thanks. Now that explains it. Because it had been so easy to make the changes in the OP in this thread, I had assumed that this amazing and unprecedented ease-of-use must have been brought about as a result of changes of which I had no idea about.
Sadlement, I realised later that it was a fluke - as I discovered later after trying to tidy up another mini-review that has lots of images, where I found myself back again in the familiar, clunky, constipated chronic world-of-pain with which one has become so accustomed to on this forum.

So, I take it back: No thanks to YOU, @mouser, you ratbag!

2018-04-10: Some maintenance of this review thread:
Have updated the OP.
Am in the process of tidying-up/re-assigning the images, as they seem to have been shuffled in the migration to the new CMS. (the price of progress).
