tugback··on The art forger who became a national hero

Reminds me of how some of the best security researchers started out on the 'other' side. Talent finds its way to usefulness, sometimes.

tugback··on Don't couple your Go code to GitHub

Definitely had a private GitHub dependency disappear once. Vendoring saved us a massive headache downstream.

Mainly iterative IPC improvements combined with maturing process nodes. That initial TSMC 7nm was solid but had room to grow.

tugback··on Samsung is expected to more than double output of its HBM4 and HBM4E DRAM

Good to see Samsung stepping up; maybe GPU prices will finally cool down a bit with more HBM supply hitting the market.

tugback··on Don't be the out of touch Kung Fu master

Definitely felt like that stubbornly avoiding TypeScript for too long. My projects eventually forced me to adapt or be left behind.

tugback··on Forgejo <=16.0.3 Critical RCE

tugback··on New Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra

M5 Ultra in a Mac Studio form factor is exactly what the creative pro crowd has been waiting for.
