You can read each individual commit and review the PR as a whole. This is the way many people design and review PRs. You don’t need to merge those changes progressively. If you do,…

Looking at the way GitHub are selling this “feature”, I feel like some of the engineers who are going to be excited about this feature for “reviewability” reasons are, in particula…

“Dear Mr Putin, Please don’t use our airspace to attack Ukraine else we will be forced to write you another slightly more strongly worded letter next time. Thanks, NATO”

Passkeys are a political play aimed at bolstering government support. They’re the privacy sabotaging arm of Digital ID. They go hand in hand with “age” verification. It’s all the s…

I love that due to the scale, the only way to analyse the impact of this LLM-driven attack across logs is to use an LLM to analyse the logs - whatever could go wrong? Now the attac…

This is a key part of it - all the decision making, just like choosing the food, but making it yours.

I mean… yeah? Since when would being in Portugal stop a motivated power? Just ask Vadym Yermolaiev, Andriy Portnov, Emilian Gebrev or the staff at the warehouse in Vrbetice. Being …

A venture that gathers objects of subversion likely to draw the ire of authoritarian powers into a single building doesn’t strike me as something likely to peacefully exist for lon…

Lacking a bit of sleep, I initially read this as “anonymous flying umbrella follows and shields users from rain” which certainly intrigued me more than the actual title.

I’m waiting for the “Yes, I was corrupt. I did it to show you all how corrupt a government can be if you let it be”

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Bohemia Interactive. Their games have always had a charming “designed by a software engineer” feel, which I appreciate. Also, Operation Fla…

It's possible. If this is how it is supposed to be, I was thoroughly miss sold my ticket into this life thing. No refunds though, I guess :)
