Maturing as a software engineer doesn’t mean writing fewer Horrors, it means knowing when to write A Horror and how to construct the proper containment zone around it

Are we in that weird part of the timeline where instead of trusting your data to some app we're spending money to build our versions of those apps as to not share data where we don't have to? All of the sudden average people will care about sqlite3 over trusting a startup?

the prime minister of japan is posting about PHP

The details are now public, as of two hours ago. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi... The secret P-384 keys for these intermediate CAs are all zeros except the last 8 bits. All not-updated software can be MITM'ed now. IOT boxes that can't or don't update are now trivially MITM'able forever.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Probably the coolest thing he's done next to being a potential Bomberman fan

i underestimated how nice the @frame.work fingerprint scanner is, yet I use the MBP one daily. Nice improvement.

initial @frame.work 13 pro impressions: excellent packaging, documentation, and the keyboard feels outstanding. Screen is nice and bright and chassis feels great. Coming from a MBR to this and so far very happy. I love purple hardware, it reminds us computers should be fun #framework

One of my favorite PNW/Alaskan native artists did an awesome drawing of Jimothy. Check it out. trickstercompany.com/products/jim...

i think im generally sold on everything you build should first be written in golang until it works, then it should be re-written in rust. the iteration speed is just much better in go but there are usually some good benefits of not just rust, but doing a full rewrite after completion anyway

a weird inversion with LLMs is the models improve faster than the tinkerers when i see people with custom workflows and setups they're all addressing problems that don't exist anymore the person naively using vanilla codex is more likely to be experiencing state of the art

Words to live by

the two worst teams in MLB should play a game the day after the season ends just for the people who want more baseball. the people yearn for 2 pm Rockies - Angels

The White Sox!!! First team in MLB history to make the playoffs after at least two consecutive 100+ loss seasons What a story

Kansas City Royals fans had 30 seconds to get the sausage bun on, and if they did, the entire stadium won free hot dogs. 🌭 Original post

Tell you what, I’ll worry about the imaginary oppression of robots in the future when you worry about the real oppression of humans right now

Before you say positive things about DHH because of Omarchy, a reminder that it's been like 3 weeks since he published a blog that compares Roma people to the wolves Denmark eradicated in the 1800s. He's an open, virulent racist and always has been. Everything he touches should be radioactive.

What are folks go to examples for initializing a #rust #rustlang application’s relational DB?

bad idea

Pleased to finally announce... Abdication, the last Southern Reach novel! "There will come the days of the watcher, the drowned woman and the shadow of a man who keeps falling apart with each step, but first comes the moment the birds appear at night from the gaps between the stars, far from home."

Just got the steam controller and it feels great! Being able to program a second puck memory slot is awesome. I wish I had the option to purchase a second one at the original purchase but now I know. Backpack mode is pretty smart as well.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Pretty classy message by the Norwegian Embassy. #WorldCup

don't love this new marathon map

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

Brooke Rollins says DHS wants to put "AI on drones" to detect screwworm

That's What She Should Have Said.

Marathon servers are back online. Thank you for your patience while we completed maintenance and issued the patch. If you continue to encounter Anteater, Monkey, or Weasel errors, please restart your game and try again. (1/3)

this is amazing reporting

my firm take is that any man loudly worried about fertility rates is a fucking creep
