Everyone with knowledge agrees that Atom is technically superior to RSS. Everything should have switched to it twenty years ago. All feed readers support Atom just fine ( except in podcasts , for no good reason).
Automated attack surface analysis and reduction can meaningfully improve the security of deployed software in the near term. In this post, we preview data we’ve collected from applying attack surface reduction techniques to large open-source codebases using Claude.
This little script stops attacks on the first SSH connection to a new VM, even on providers (like Hetzner Cloud ) that don't offer a proprietary solution ; we only need cloud-init , which is widely supported .
It will ask you hunk by hunk for the things to include in the first commit, and then bring up the editor for the first and second commit message. It couldn’t be simpler than that.
Using Oban to seamlessly exchange durable jobs between Elixir and Python applications through a shared PostgreSQL database.
It had been there long before Windows 95, but nobody remembered.
In a previous post, I was sceptical about using Apache DataFusion for graph analytics. However, after some thought and experimentation, I changed my mind. I have reconsidered my approach and now have a working implementation of basic graph algorithms, such as WCC, PageRank and MSSP. For example, I can identify weakly…
how to hide juicy data in plain sight
Do you notice a difference? The image on the right appears “yellower” than the image on the left, which looks more goldenrod by comparison.
The Jazz of Physics: Albert Einstein and John Coltrane had a lot in common. The so-called “Coltrane circle” or “Circle of Fifths,” but incorporates Coltrane’s own innovations. Coltrane gave the drawing to saxophonist and professor Yusef Lateef in 1967, who included it in the Repository of Scales and
A tour of the-stats-duck v0.6.0: a one-shot data profiler, regression and bootstrap CIs in plain SQL, ten new distributions, and SAS/XPT imports that got 52x faster — with live Bedevere demos you can poke at.

Hi! Long time no see, huh? :) It’s been three years since my last State of the Windows article, which was about the inconsistencies in the Windows 11 user experience. Since then, Microsoft (a…
Office Hours question asked by by Ian H. on May 1, 2026 Q: Memory prices could move from 15% to 40% of the BOM of a device. This seems incredible. So how can Apple deal with this? This has been on …
The project is an upscale of a successful pilot built in 2013, and can be expanded further to a network of hubs producing fertiliser for farmer cooperatives.
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.
This release will be the Reference Implementation of version 28 of the Java SE Platform, as specified by JSR 403 in the Java Community Process.

Recently, while working on an optimized Quicksort implementation, I came across a rather interesting quirk. Modern compilers (especially Clang) optimize loops using fast, branch-free instructions - provided you use the right programming style.
Exploiting the Tesla Wall Connector from its charge port connector -
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is the protocol involved in getting the lock icon to appear in your browser next to the URL. Under the hood it uses a bunch of really cool numbers for encryption. Some numbers are considered private and need securing; some are considered public and are fine for sharing. You can mix your…
Anthropic is opening a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard (MHS), a shared specification for AI agents to safely operate physical devices, to a first group of scientific research labs and advanced manufacturers.
New from Google. They say it's "built to push the frontier of intelligence and solve modern challenges across science, research, and engineering". It drew me a really good SVG of …

Back in July I wanted to check out the pwn2own targets for 2026. Since the rules hadn’t been released yet, I decided I would check last year’s targets in the hope that it would be simil…
Why launch costs aren't the reason it costs a fortune to do things in space
