I apparently missed how *many* of these vibecoded emulator wrapper "ports" were being published. jesus christ

odd thought that ben affleck was probably playing doom on dwango in the 90s given what we're hearing about him

Publishing “Cryptographic Right Answers” for developers is a tradition by now. Colin Percival started in 2009, Thomas Ptacek followed up in 2015, and then Latacora carried on in 2018 and 2024. I put together a list updated for the renewed urgency of migrating to post-quantum algorithms.

(Post-Quantum) Cryptographic Right Answers

In the tradition started by Colin Percival and Thomas Ptacek, a set of “Cryptographic Right Answers” updated for the accelerated post-quantum transition timeline.

once more, with a motivation to demonstrate how harmful AI is, you *have* to get the facts right. when people get sloppy, it's making a mess of any reasonable critique of AI...

I really think people should not over extrapolate from this study.

this is the stuff that makes me not trust anti-AI coverage at face value anymore. you can be anti-AI but to do so recklessly is also harmful, and the irony here is palpable.

Ed Zitron used AI to create the very first chart in this piece. It made a critical error, which he did not notice because he just learned about bonds last month. THAT is the danger of non practitioners relying on AI output, you don’t know what you’re looking for. The chart is completely inaccurate.

RTO is basically a pay deduction

uhh i was digitizing a box of old VHS tapes for my uncle... you guys ever hear of something called "The Mayonnaise Channel"??

okay so this anecdote in Margaret's obituary has me crying because this is exactly what it's like being in tech and trying to anticipate failures and having men basically tell you you're being hysterical and then you have to fix it later

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Most of my job is cleaning up messes. Code janitor

You can't have good software architecture if the majority of your devs' time is spent naively wrangling low level problems like "how many tens of micro services do I need"

I watched a teammate in Marathon loot a Firestorm from a supply drop on day 1 of reset yesterday and I wonder what the opposing teams thought about it

of all the companies America allowed to have control over everything, Oracle was the one we had to pick, when my experience is that everything Oracle touches turns to absolute shit. have you seen PeopleSoft?

If you are caught up giving money to something like this, you can be debanked and blacklisted, or worse. The veracity of the claims doesn't matter. Please donate to reputable organizations, not individual accounts online.

Two brothers have been charged in connection with a long-running scheme to raise money for Hamas by disseminating propaganda and soliciting donations for “the poor and orphans in Gaza” via social media, court records show.

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

these things can all be true at once: - demoralizing to working professionals to be forced to use - genuinely useful in the hands of an experienced SWE - slop code/documentation is noticeably garbage - people who don't make software professionally are speaking *very* confidently about my day job
