Sure it has, reputable news publications as well as scientific journals issue retractions and updates as a matter of course. E.g. NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/30/admin…

I agree that it does feel a bit paradoxical, but reversing a product for repair purposes verses reversing it for duplication are treated fundamentally differently by reasonable peo…

I'm personally working on migrating a DB I've had for tracking some economic time-series data from Influx to TimescaleDB, and I have to say Outflux is the most savage tool name eve…

Just watched a Def Con video where Jmaxxz self-installs a remote-start system. Lots of interesting details about what could have gone wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8SG2V3…

Wonderful post, so glad that Mrs. Hansson stepped out for this cause, as uncomfortable as it was. I've personally wondered at credit scores + credit offered for a long time. The am…

Sure, so you can represent the other far extreme. I certainly advocate for review, but we should be practical. No one reads all the code down to the proc to ensure nothing maliciou…

This is something I've been working on a bit myself. Figuring out which files change is relatively easy (as you've demonstrated). Figuring out what the impact of that is quite hard…

Very rudimentary explanation of what cookies are and a few of the things WordPress uses them for -- wrapped in a massively self-promotional post complete with attempted push notifi…

Sure... so, showing "here is a weird disk pattern -- they were running X on top of it -- consider not running X on SSD" with a sampleset of 1 is a logical fallacy and kinda a bizar…

This article seems to have a trove of interesting data, but struggles to generalize many conclusions out of it.

Apple has notoriously aggressively focused on a future-facing scalable way. I.e. where they see enough of the market in say 5 years (i.e. firewire, USB-C). However, they have been …

Not (really) on iOS web.

As a basic user of the platform (where my employer has Slack Enterprise Grid), I've always expected this is the case and planned my communication accordingly.

I don't think this is an explanation for the current status and gains of Twitter. Trump has been president for over a year, and has been a prolific tweeter for far longer. If anyth…
