Over the past two years I’ve quietly rebuilt major parts of the OldNYC photo viewer . The result: 10,000 additional historic photos on the map , more accurate locations, and a site that’s cheaper and easier to run—thanks to modern AI tools and the OpenStreetMap ecosystem.

Meet Alice. Alice uses your web service. Alice, like most humans, measures her time in seconds and minutes. Alice says your service is slow. You tell Alice that the mean request to your service completes in 100ms, but Alice says that her mean wait time is 1s.
Git packfiles were designed for mmap and local disk, so pulling one object out of a bucket means guessing at a byte range. I wrote a new format instead.

I’m having a lot of fun with reverse engineering lately, so when I was looking over the service manual for my guitar amp, a Yamaha THR10c, and saw references to a UART header in the schematic, I got excited. I wondered if anything cool was hiding in there. Next to it was a JTAG header. I knew next to nothing about…

Secret NSA documents showed that NSA pushed DES in the 1970s to "drive out competitors" while knowing that DES was "weak enough" to break; meanwhile NSA publicly claimed that it would use DES . NSA used export-law exceptions in the 1990s to entrench RC4 and RSA-512, causing security problems for decades . NSA in the…

It was a summer holiday, sometime in the late 1990s. I was a young kid, around 8 or so. My dad had taught me the rules of chess before and we played from time to time. But this time was different: As we were about to start he stood up and walked away from the board, sitting down in a chair across the room and facing…
If you run a server with cPanel or WHM, you need to read this carefully. On May 8, 2026 — just ten days after the cPanel CVE-2026-41940 authentication bypass was used to compromise 44,000 web hosting servers and deploy ransomware — cPanel quietly released a second emergency security patch.
