+1 on this. Number one source of bugs at a recent job was a homebrew TLS / HTTP load balancer. First chance I got I replaced it with nginx and bugs shot down immediately. With tools like apache, nginx, haproxy and caddy available, it was pure madness to reinvent that wheel... But the dev wanted open source CV padding...

Initially read this as 3600 nanometres... :-)

+1 for Sandworm

Tallinn Manual 2.0 on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations.

Not exactly a page turner, but if you are serious, it offers a solid legal understanding of cyber operations.

The Art and Science of Military Deception by Barton Whaley.

Again, somewhat dry but essential if you are serious about cyber warfare.

Yes it is, everyone I grew up with in Ireland played conkers.

Ireland is the ideal country for EVs, with our temperate climate and small size. We also don't have a large fossil fuel resource. We got government grants to install a home charger. Quick and easy. There are many public charges points but in the last 6 months I have noticed much more contention and have to wait frequently. Also more broken chargers. Sign of increased adoption I guess... But if we can't make it work here, I won't work anywhere.

Myself

Eh, poetry, pipenv, conda, setup.py, GCC and all dev tools to possibly compile some C shite you didn't know you needed? It's a complete shit show still...

Yep, tiny wild strawberries were like treasure during my childhood... No comparison!

The vast majority support local streaming via rtsp...

My number one problem with notes apps is that they all take too long to open a new note, and try to sync themselves when opened, often slowing everything down. Especially if you have a slow / choppy connection (fully offline is usually ok, but barely online is the worst).

I have a literal supercomputer in my pocket, yet not one app let's me open and start writing a critical note in less than 500ms.

To this day I still use plaintext editors on my desktop to dump short strings or notes into, because they load faster than any other app. And don't try to be clever with smart quotes, fonts and butchering my code snippets.

I suspected this page was written in MS FrontPage, and a quick peek at the source code seems to confirm it! I love to see old pages still online. Netscape Composer got me through the 90s/00s

I've never seen this in practice in the EU, so it can't be common at least.

Had a great lab experience in the early 2000's, loads of people helping each other, sharing ideas, the odd practical joke but nothing nasty. Labs were always busy too. Dual booting Solaris and NT4 PCs, plus an embedded device for assembly class. We also had free use of the ancient dot matrix printer with continuous holed paper... I still have some code listings somewhere in a drawer. I miss those days sometimes, working remotely.

Formal methods in Z notation or predicate logic in prolog... Still have nightmares 20 years later.

All the ads and tracking have a massive cost. On a newspaper article, about 90% of the traffic is not content. Micro transactions are not limited by compute.

Lol, I also have some povray renders still online on my uni page... Not linking though ;-)

Are you me? :-D Same story, had an AST 386 which I upgraded to a 486 DX33... I learned to program in the 90s by writing povray scene files, which taught me C style syntax and primed me to write actual C/C++/Java in the years that followed. I spent thousands of hours with povcad and povray on windows 3.1...

NullPointerException?

Also: me hole...

Wish it was a website instead of an app.

I'd be happy if just made Defender stop detecting all my go binaries as Malware...

I remember seeing billboards for XML+EJB in Seattle in 2002... Found that unusual at the time, as a visitor to the USA.

You mean the Turing Police [1]

I thought Russia was a multi-national state, not a nation state.

Can't believe this had to be spelled out... The article is very well written and simple to understand, so hats off to the author.

Ironically, I've been putting off buying an iPhone because of the walled garden... Being able to side-load app stores and charge via USB-c might actually get me to switch. Because the surveillance inside Android apps is frankly obscene at this stage.

Why should there be? Because it is unequivocally making people unhealthy at an enormous scale. It is the scourge of the century. We shouldn't wait until we have it all figured out if we know it's causing such wide scale damage.

Am essentially taxed at 50%, so a 25% paycut is actually a loss of 12.5% income... May be worth it, as long as there is no expectation to "make up for lost time". Remember, it's not just working 20% less, it's adding 50% to your current weekend. Depending on your life situation/ children, this may be a big deal.

Tuition is the act of teaching... I sure hope they aren't eliminating that. It is indeed the fees that are being eliminated.
