the hardest problem in computer science is getting a file from one computer to another

was anyone gonna tell be how much nicer using rust-gdb is compared to the rust-analyzer extension in VSCode?

I recall the reaction to www.windowslatest.com/2025/12/24/m... - claims that it would be both irresponsible and impossible anyway, I think that not only has this been proven possible, it may in fact be the most responsible thing to do we must reduce the system-critical C/++ in the world

Firefox now plays Matroska (MKV) files with FLAC, MP3, or PCM audio. 🎶 bugzilla.mozilla.org/1991747

either my colleague was too enthusiastic about Swift's abilities when they told me that "in Swift, you should always favour FP" or i just haven't learnt enough about the language. why doesn't the standard library have a Monad protocol i can implement for my classes? why doesn't `any P` conform to P?

One reason games are so expensive is that you need to hire a lot of very expensive programmers rather than much cheaper creatives like writers and VAs, so it’s especially odd given the recently created Automated Programming Machine to go “let’s fire our creatives”.

Do you think Fallout 5 is taking so long because Todd Howard can't find any more songs from the 50s that mention atom bombs

Human-written vulnerabilities are a finite resource we’re burning through like fossil fuels

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

Previously I have posted about a Nintendo of Europe downloadable premium animated wallpaper that featured a bizarre Toad eating the wallpaper. The files have finally been datamined, allowing the Wallpaper-Eating Toad to be observed in never-before-seen maximum quality.

"but it's an anime rpg. of course the writing isn't going to be good" but what if it were though. what if it Were though. what if it were. just imagine a better future with me for one second. let yourself dream of beauty for one second

Hey friends, I’m looking for my next gig - ideally something deep in a perf-sensitive stack, somewhere in Rust land. Would appreciate a boost!

One of my coworkers has a printed sign on his wall, conspicuous visible in Google Meet, which reads "PERFORMANCE NUMBERS FOR BROKEN CODE DON'T COUNT" It's a helpful reminder whenever we have to consider correctness fixes which cause performance regressions!

PHP is burning. Node is burning. GitLab is burning. The certificate authorities have apparently been generating their private keys with an enchanted D6.

i've been informed that xkcd has already made this exact same joke back in 2024 krilling myself

That said in constitutional monarchies I think emergency cybersecurity comms should be vested in the Royal Family, give the kings and emperors something useful to do with themselves

an outdated system in a salmon farm using PHP was found to have been breached, allowing the attackers to perform remote cod execution

Sydney Sweeney reveals in an interview that she doesn’t care about the PHP vulnerability because she moved everything to Rust in 2024. “They said the rewrite would take six months. We’re on month 30. We haven’t shipped a feature since, but I’m having a very normal Wednesday.”

Claude: "No! That's too far! I will not use leaked certs to impersonate Sony! Go buy a new cable!" Astra:

BTW knowledge of the existence of this vulnerability enables a well financed malware group to use AI to find it, if you run PHP anything you should be taking the service down NOW until a patch is available. And then patch before bringing the service back up.

some guy on a super old php version must be feeling pretty smug right about now

Bad day to launch my PHP based certificate authority
