The dirty secret if you work inside BigCorp and look around at the projects they're showcasing: 1. They're low stakes to get wrong. 2. The most common is MCPs or similar ai-tooling…

The entire point of this is that the complexity is encapsulated on the signing side - not the verifier. So it's more that you would split the keys between systems you control - say…

More like a failure on TechCrunch. There is an implied agreement and violating it will result in a flat refusal to talk outside of prepared press releases. This isn't good journali…

Reading through that I stand corrected. Thank you for sharing a link. At the same time, if a US person applies and is similarly qualified, they must be offered the job. Which is tr…

No. The H1-B visa is intended for bringing specific technical expertise that does not exist in the US for a set period of time. This is why one of the requirements is that you must…

%cpu is misleading at best, and should largely be considered harmful. System load is well defined, matches user expectations, and covers several edge cases (auditd going crazy, bro…

Elastic license, so many people refer to this as source available rather than open source

Temperature sensors are a great example for alerting because they fluctuate constantly, have multiple seasonalities, and failures can be subtle. In the end, you'll want: 1. If the …

I'm fond of using KaTeX for my personal blog posts. There is support for server side rendering for KaTeX (but not on GitHub pages because it necessarily opens it to arbitrary code …

Why not juries of 13 people? That way you never have a clean tie?

It means that there is a statistically significant improvement, but that improvement is tiny, and will not make you happier than your peers all by itself (assuming a standard peer …

Apparently there are some forks that offer more features and fix some of those bugs. Maybe one of those can help you? This is the one that was shared on lobsters, but there are lik…

TLS chose the threat model that includes MITM - there's no good reason that should ever change. All I'm arguing is that having a middle ground between http and https would prevent …

Yes. MITM attacks do happen in reality. But by their nature they require active participation which for practical purposes means leaving some sort of trail. More importantly is tha…

MITM attacks are common, but noisy - BGP hijacks are literally public to the internet by their nature. I believe that insisting on coupling confidentiality to authenticity is count…

There is a security model where MITM is not viable - and separating that specific threat from that of passive eavesdropping is incredibly useful.

The generic version in TFA puts the data type allocated alongside the next pointer - no additional allocation needed. The only functional difference is if the zig compiler is not s…

This feels like a net negative result. It removes some of the complexity of using generics, but it couples between the data type and the collections it can be indexed by. What are …

At no point did submeta qualify their statement to only apply to former soldiers. Quite the rather - they removed the nuance that did exist in their quoted propaganda articles and …

By that incredibly racist logic Meta should only hire born and bred Americans. How many Russians work at Meta? How many Palestinians?

That is suspiciously equal to the "Other revenue" line in Meta's 10-K. Given that likely rolls up other products I doubt it's all coming from Whatsapp. [0]: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.…

Same pipeline, but if it's a friend who wants to work with you then you have someone who is not in recruiting who you can ping for updates if the process gets stuck. Depending on t…

Aside from the technical beauty of this post, what is the practical impact of this? Fan speeds should ideally be looking at temperature sensors, CPU idling is working albeit with i…
