Hey guys, how is capitalism going? It's going great! Thanks to profit motive based innovation and hard work, the ransomware industry has grown to a $250 Billion(!) industry, with "Ransomware As A Service" (RaaS) now being a very real business service offered by actual companies and resulting in probably multiple times more in costs in down time, and other costs. Where do we get this incredible boost to productivity and efficiency from? It's as if by an invisible hand! https://www.crowdstrike.com/cybersecurity-101/ransomware/ransomware-as-a-service-raas/

Attached: 1 image Smart Quotes and Coding Examples Every so often, I copy and paste some code from a website and it utterly fails. This is probably a good reminder not to practise ✂️ & 📋 development, but it is also a reminder that "smart" formatting often trips up new students. Here are a few examples I've seen recently - produced as a result of computers trying to be cleverer than humans, and huma https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/11/smart-quotes-and-coding-examples/ #/etc/ #code #education #NaBloPoMo

In hindu mythology, there is casual violence committed on "demons" who are supposed to be terrible people. Today is a day that celebrates the death of one of those for the South Indian hindus. Given how hindus treat Indigenous people today, it is not lost on me that it is very likely that those "demons" were likely innocent folks upon whom we inflicted violence 2000 years ago and decided to cement that horror in a mythology conveniently claiming these folks deserved it. This is why I do not celebrate Diwali. The closer you peer into hinduism, the more oppressive it becomes.

Happy Diwali to all my Indian homies, and from me to the rest of you. Diwali is the Festival of Lights. It symbolizes the spiritual 'victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.' We could all use some light in these dark times.

Remember kids, there's a pernicious reason why #Google redirects "http://maps.google.com" to "http://google.com/maps". Because of this redirect, the location permission that you grant to Google Maps also automatically becomes available to Google Search - making your search queries more valuable to advertisers. #privacy

Maintaining an OSS project is so much more than just writing and shipping code. It involves taking care of the community and core team. It’s emotional. It’s exhausting. Its unhealthy. But we (maintainers) do it because we love the product and community. Please appreciate your OSS maintainers🙏

Today, if you publish a popular Go module on a URL and you lose control of the URL (through, eg, domain expiration and having the domain snatched up), you have a problem that's probably more or less impossible to deal with short of making blog/Fediverse/etc posts about the situation. Go module identity is tied to URLs with more or less no external override or way to automatically announce and see problems (individual people can override for their usage, but that doesn't scale).

I've written about it more verbosly in Why should you blog? and also helped as someone with ADHD not to mention being a wealth of knowledge I can look back on, that I mostly write for me, but I see lots of traffic coming to my site with folks trying to solve similar problems!
