A New Book Quietly Reveals That Israel Used Palantir In It's Terrorist Attack On Lebanon.
One of legal tech's clichés is that "lawyers live in Word". This is demonstrably incorrect. I, for example, am a lawyer and in fact live in London, England…
“Keep thy airspeed up, lest the earth come from below and smite thee.” - William Kershner
Common Lisp has good packaging tools, but they're different. Here we explain the what and how.
Here are ten things I learnt about public speaking.
Rant ahead: I hate TLS “Inspection” software with a burning passion and I wish we collectively as an industry would just knock it the fuck off and stop pretending it’s some great security benefit. Every time I encounter it, in whatever form, it’s a gigantic headache that makes everyone’s life worse off and as far as I…
There's an old compiler-building tutorial that has become part of the field's lore: the Let's Build a Compiler series by Jack Crenshaw (published between 1988 and 1995).
DHH's Fizzy license blocks competing SaaS offerings, so it is source available, not Open Source, which has a specific shared meaning; the real issue is sustainability.
It’s been almost 2 full years since Linux became a CNA (Certificate Numbering Authority) which meant that we (i.e. the kernel.org community) are now responsible for issuing all CVEs for the Linux kernel.

I can't remember where I first saw them, but ever since, I have been unable to forget them: abelian sandpiles. I'm far from the only one . They're remarkably simple, yet produce lovely symmetric patterns. I loved them so much that I adorned the title banner of this blog with an animation of an abelian sandpile. But…
Block, Anthropic, and OpenAI have launched the Agentic AI Foundation (AAF). Learn about this new non-profit organization dedicated to making agentic AI safe, accessible, and beneficial for everyone.
On September 14, 2015, our first publicly-trusted certificate went live. We were proud that we had issued a certificate that a significant majority of clients could accept, and had done it using automated software.

I'm the kind of person who thinks about the design and implementation of hash tables. One design which I find particularly cute, and I think deserves a bit more publicity, is Robin Hood open-addressing with linear probing and power-of-two table size. If you're not familiar with hash table terminology, that might look…
