Something you can do for the people you love is prepare a letter of instruction . Like other elements of estate planning, it makes mourning a bit easier. No one has to guess what you want if you tell them. In my experience, one of the worst aspects of mourning is fighting about the deceased person’s values. (Thanks, predatory family members!) A self-directed eulogy can serve a similar purpose. If something happens to you, it helps the pe....

Today, I learned how to handle custom claims in an Open ID Connect authenticated ASP.NET Core app. The scenario goes like this. I have an ASP.NET Core app that authenticates with Open Id Connect. It receives a bearer token from the authentication server. Besides OIDC claims, this token has been forged with additional custom claims for use in the app. However, only ODIC claims exist when I parse HttpContext.User.Identity.Claims in my middl..

An easy way to gain credibility in my eyes is by voicing harsh truths about your ingroup: Religious? 👉🏽 Criticize your religionAcademic? 👉🏽 Criticize academiaIndian? 👉🏽 Criticize Indiaetc.. The reverse also holds; Those who only talk positively of their ingroup look dumb as hell. Furthermore, criticizing your ingroup conditions you to think more freely about […]

The Last 100+ Days The NVD posted the notice below on its webpage in mid-February. Since then, nearly 13,000 CVEs have not been enriched with CWE, CVSS, and CPE data. The vulnerability management community was told that it would be addressed at Vulncon this year. At the conference, we were told the enrichment would restart “in the next couple of days” and that a “consortium was being founded” to help guide the NVD. I left hopeful about the....

Introduction In March, the official Elixir client for Google APIs received an accidental commit for internal non-public APIs . The commit added support for Google’s Content Warehouse API, which includes Google’s 14,000+ search ranking factors. Oops! Some people noticed this after its redaction earlier this month, and the news broke on May 28. You can read through the Content Warehouse API reference on HexDocs . I skimmed through these an....

If you ask anyone what the best Emacs packages are, you’ll almost definitely hear Magit (the only Git porcelain worth using) and Org Mode (a way to organize anything and everything in plain text) listed as #1 and #2. And they’re right! I use those packages extensively every day. Besides those two powerhouses, there are a handful of packages that make using Emacs a delight. If I had to ever use something else, I would miss these packag....

Simon Willison has a new article explaining an important and often ununderstood aspect of LLMs. There’s a remarkable difference between chatting with an LLM, as we users do, and training it. Short version: ChatGPT and other similar tools do not directly learn from and memorize everything that you say to them. Every time you start a new chat conversation, you clear the slate. Each conversation is an entirely new sequence, carried ou..

If your sign needs a sign explaining the sign then it’s a poorly-designed sign. Let me present a few examples. I’ll start with the intersection at Bloor and Parkside in Toronto shown below. There are four lights in this image: one for the through traffic, one for the cyclists, and two for the right-turn traffic. Both the bicycle signal and the right-turn signal have additional signs adjacent to them explaining what those lights are f..
