the OpenSSL API is the gift that just keeps on giving And its like one of those gifts you get from an older relative that you rather wished they'd keep to themselves...
It does not wish to be perceived, and tbh, can you blame it?

Ty Franck (one half of James S.A. Corey) and Wes Chatham ('Amos Burton' on The Expanse) kickoff a long series of Quentin Tarantino films with the epic Kill Bill films. Of course, Wes had to do something different and screwed up the order of things... but we still love him anyway.

As we progress into Q4 and the end-of-year budget cycle for many organizations, Iād like to have a conversation about budget surplus, and how to steer those dollars away from marketing efforts and into your open source infrastructure. Yes, Budget Surplus Is A Thing We can call it ābudget

Attached: 1 image Okay but thereās a really useful lesson here about meeting your customers/users where theyāre at. Food is meant to be eaten. And people might want to eat it in the *wrong* way. And the company that says āwell, we should probably make it safe for them to do soā is going to have an advantage over the companies that insist people behave āproperlyā. Insert cyber analogy here.

I am beyond thrilled to see the OSI stepping up with https://opensource.net/ and filling the gap after RH stopped supporting opensource.com. If you want to write a blog post about open source and need a place to publish it, the OSI team was super helpful and easy to work with!

The thing about Coneheadās manifesto is, before even getting to the arguments, the technology he wants everyone to be optimistic about is FUCKING APPS and SCAMS. Heās equating himself and his pals to the biggest paradigm shifts in history when what he means is a new way to make the internet shit

So, if I were going to make a tech manifesto, it might be something like: - protocols not platforms - coops and unions - technology should not actively hurt us - people not users - seven generations, seven continents - free markets require antitrust enforcement

Earlier I was thinking about smaller companies that sell themselves to big ones, and how sometimes no one cares or even notices (e.g. 7digital) that they sold out, vs companies like Bandcamp or flickr where everyone freaks out. Itās a sign of how special the company is to the people who use it. If youāre starting a company, that should be your goal: to create something that would make people freak out and sad if you sold out. A business loved that much is an accomplishment that canāt be measured in $ I started SomaFM because I couldnāt find what I wanted to listen to on the radio. I wanted to create something i would love rather than simply found a startup to make a bunch of money. Creating/Doing something people care about is much better than āincreasing shareholder valueā.

There are people who are still alive who were alive when it was illegal to be gay. Actually, if you're reading this you're one of them because its STILL illegal to be gay in about 70 countries and in the USA in only the past few days culturally controlling figures like Matt Walsh have supported "conversion therapy" for gay and queer people. Do not take sexual diversity for granted. Because its violently coercive enemies don't. š³ļøāš #gay #lesbian #lgbt #lgbtq #trans #nonbinary #queer

Every single commit message can be āWIPā for all I care if commits are small changes of well factored, simple code driven by well-written tests co-authored by people having face to face conversations and each one is safely delivered to production.

Please stop referring to Copilot and ChaptGPT as an amazing pairing partner. If you think your mob/pairing partner is there to help you type code in then youāve misunderstood the real value of mobbing/pairing.

Attached: 1 image The past two nights I wrote a "thread reader app" for BlueSky. https://skyview.social Oh boy. The protocol is absolutely insane. RPC galore, responses are only partially typed. The docs are pretty much useless. But the "funniest" part is this: there's no privacy. And I don't mean missing DMs. All your posts are available through API endpoints. Without any authentication. By design. The "invite-only" thing may have you think otherwise. Here are my last 100 posts. https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.listRecords?repo=badlogic.bsky.social&collection=app.bsky.feed.post

Something I love about [govulncheck] (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/vuln/cmd/govulncheck) is that it tries to find usages of code paths that would trigger a vulnerability so it's a more effective scan, and now I wish that every CVE scanner supported it now š

but seriously i think with marc andreessen going full-on jackbooted fascist with his fingers in all the cryptocurrency and machine learning artificial intelligence pies, we get a free pass at an "i told you so" when we say that all of this stuff is a stalking horse for the advancement of white supremacy
