Developer's Corner / Re: CodePlex is shutting down.

Yeah it's odd that it wasn't posted here - perhaps one of us mentioned it on IRC or something last year.

Developer's Corner / CodePlex is shutting down.
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on January 08, 2018, 12:15 PM »
So...somehow I missed this news (It was actually announced last March), but CodePlex is shutting down!

https://blogs.msdn.m...tting-down-codeplex/

Almost 11 years after we created CodePlex, it’s time to say goodbye.  We launched CodePlex in 2006 because we, like others in the industry, saw a need for a great place to share software.  Over the years, we’ve seen a lot of amazing options come and go but at this point, GitHub is the de facto place for open source sharing and most open source projects have migrated there.

We migrated too.  As many of you know, Microsoft has invested in Visual Studio Team Services as our “One Engineering System” for proprietary projects, and we’ve exposed many of our key open source projects on GitHub (Visual Studio Code, TypeScript, .NET, the Cognitive Toolkit, and more).  In fact, our GitHub organization now has more than 16,000 open source contributors – more than any other organization – and we’re proud to partner closely with GitHub to promote open source.

Meltdown and Spectre
Bugs in modern computers leak passwords and sensitive data.


Meltdown and Spectre exploit critical vulnerabilities in modern processors. These hardware bugs allow programs to steal data which is currently processed on the computer. While programs are typically not permitted to read data from other programs, a malicious program can exploit Meltdown and Spectre to get hold of secrets stored in the memory of other running programs. This might include your passwords stored in a password manager or browser, your personal photos, emails, instant messages and even business-critical documents.

Meltdown and Spectre work on personal computers, mobile devices, and in the cloud. Depending on the cloud provider's infrastructure, it might be possible to steal data from other customers.


Link also contains technical papers on both Meltdown and Spectre

It's not a bad idea, as ideas go, but if experience has taught me anything, it would be that trying to coordinate the coders on DC to work on one big project would be as futile as trying to scoop water from a sieve :')

I've used Vegas in a professional setting, and I did really enjoy it, so for $20 (considering you get everything else, too), it's a fantastic deal indeed!

« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on December 03, 2017, 11:26 PM »
So...after months of bugging him, I finally convinced mouser to get on Discord!!!  :o

If you want to come join us on the DC Discord server - the link is https://discord.gg/9J4mHfF

(Discord is a text and voice chat app, available for all platforms - it's kinda like IRC 2.0)

Lots of features - DC Forum RSS feed, and voice chats with yours truly (and whoever else wants to say hi!) are all part of this :D

Did I mention it's better than IRC? haha

The link again is: https://discord.gg/9J4mHfF

If you don't have discord, just quickly signup, download if for your system (or even use it in your browser), and then you should be on the server! (If not, after you register, just click the link again!)

Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: PokéWorld - Pokémon MMO...On Discord!

Mini-Reviews by Members / PokéWorld - Pokémon MMO...On Discord!
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on November 10, 2017, 08:50 PM »
Well, Discord is aimed to be for gamers, but when it comes to the platform, there is no real way to play anything fun through it...well...that's what I thought!

Bored one night, I was googling around for Discord Bots to add to my server to give me something to do.  After a while I stumbled upon a random one  called PokéWorld.  Now, at first, I thought it was going to be something stupid like "just type a command, get a random pokemon, and go about your day"...but I was wrong...so very very wrong!

Curious..I added the bot to my server, and located the command to start it...at which point I was met with

1.png

Hmm...this is interesting...not quite what I expected!...So, l let's get on with it...I wonder where I can choose?

2.png

Holy crap...OK...I don't really know what any of these contain, so...I picked a random one!

So...clicking through some more stuff...I finally got to this:

3.png

Nice...so I have things!  Oh, and I also got my starter Pokémon too!

4.png

Now, I guess it's time to see what the hell I can do!

5.png

Hmm, ok, so, I can travel around the areas, fighting and catching pokemon, and becoming the very best, like no-one ever was!

---

I would add more screenshots into this mini-review (or whatever this just became), but...it's kinda pointless...because that bot was Alpha, and they are VERY close to releasing Beta, which, for a Discord bot, is VERY advanced.

The community they have there is fantastic, and the developer (this guy: https://github.com/Bioblaze) is brilliant at what he does!

For those curious about following the development (and maybe playing!), then join their discord here: https://discord.gg/wPxWcXc

Overall Rating: 4/5 Stars (For Alpha) - No rating on Beta due to it not being released yet!

Highly recommended for those looking for old-school text-games mixed with MMO/Modern games!

Living Room / [Breaking] - AI Simulant Discovered Online
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on June 17, 2017, 07:15 AM »
There has been an investigation launched after detection systems recognized the signature of a rogue AI Simulant within their databanks.

The stimulant in question seems to have free-will, although not much information has been released at this time.


What we know:

The simulant's name (designation) is 'mouser'.  In 2005, after being released into the wild, the simulant in question launched a series of Software projects, seemingly designed to test it's repair and replication processes.  So far, full replication does not seem to have happened, but it could be getting close.

'Mouser' has been determined as an acronym: "Multi-Operational Universal Software Engineering & Replication".

This information came to light after automated systems picked up on a series of events, where the simulant stopped all forms of communication, mid-conversation, for seemingly no reason at all.  This phenomenon has been defined as "mousering" (or "to be mousered").

These 2 acronyms mean the following:

Mousering: Multi-Operational Universal Software Engineering & Replication Is Not Gregarious
      Meaning: "No longer the life of the party"

Mousered: Multi-Operational Universal Software Engineering & Replication - Erectile Disfunction
      Meaning: This is a play on the name of the condition.  It means mouser has/is "gone away"/"no longer active"/"no longer functioning"

Although mouser can be seen as active, randomly at any time of the day (with no discernable pattern), it seems to power down for a minimum of 60 minutes per day.  We assume that this is for self-maintenance, software updates/patches and perhaps a system reboot.

[This Story is Breaking - More Updates To Follow]

The surprise is that mouser didn't demand we hand-code our own custom CMS from scratch  ;D
