It’s the end of the day, and I was about to go for a walk when I realized: it’s the 20th and I have yet to do my monthly blog stats post!

Why replace the elliptic package? Yesterday, the Trail of Bits blog published a post about finding cryptographic bugs in the elliptic library (a Javascript package on NPM) by using Wycheproof. This blog post was accompanied by a new chapter in their Testing Handbook about using Wycheproof as well as two CVEs. It’s pretty cool work, […]

Repurposed HN comment. ) The BSD/Linux thing was there right from the start, but it was more complicated than a simple us-vs-them. The thing is that there were a whole bunch of competing commercial Unix-like OSes in the 1980s. But there were other prejudices as well. In Proper Grown-Up Unix terms, PCs were toys, poorly-made weird little things that were no more than office equipment. So nothing worth using ran on the 386. There wa....

Its primary purpose is to inform customers about a product’s a11y features, enabling them to make informed decisions before purchasing software.

This is a tough sequel to review without any spoilers for The Will of the Many , so I’m not going to attempt it. Spoiler warning for Book I below! The Strength of the Few picks up right where The Will of the Many left off: Vis, the protagonist, has been simultaneously copied into two other worlds called Luceum and Obiteum while his story also continues back in the world of Book I, called Res. Somewhat necessarily, each storyline....

The template went pretty far in the Fried Egg design contest, so I thought I would share how I threw it together in a few hours.

The 80s had terrific music – UK and Irish bands ruled the charts; Tears for Fears, U2, The Police, Queen. The 70s had disco: Donna Summer, Chic (still touring and still excellent), Bee Gees (not around but still brilliant) and not to forget the brilliant Edwin Starr with his song “Contact”. AI tells me that […] The post Does your Software Date Back to the Disco Era? appeared first on Strumenta .

Earlier this year, NVIDIA caused quite a stir in the data-science community when they announced the DGX Spark: a desktop-sized AI supercomputer. It’s aimed at developers and data scientists who need to prototype, tune, and run AI models locally without constantly relying on expensive cloud hardware. At the heart of the DGX Spark is the new GB10 chip, which combines NVIDIA’s 20-core Grace ARM CPU with the Blackwell GPU. Together, they deli..

I'm headed off on holiday later this week. As the trip approached, I found myself thinking about how to best back up my Mac Mini home server. I've had an abnormal number of conversations about SOC 2 compliance this year, so “disaster recovery” has been a concept stuck in my mind.

I’ve long been a fan of task runners within projects - I find they’re practically required once you have a project or group operating beyond a certain level of complexity. There are just too many one liner terminal commands to memorize, too many differing syntaxes across dozens of tools operating across different stacks… it’s madness. Typically engineers (at least the ones that eventually give up on the muscle memor..

I'm all for self-improvement. Investing the time to learn new things into adulthood has had a positive impact on my life, but everyone has a different threshold for the value add vs inconvenience. This has been true in both my professional and personal life, from learning a new language to finding a new favorite recipe. I draw the line however at changing how I tie my shoelaces. Once YouTube starts recommending a better approach to so..

Here’s what I mean by “block labeleled” output: Thought: I need to search for information about robots Action: search Action Input: {"query": "robots and why they're so cool", "max_results": 5} This output is not only more human readable, but also easier..

It happened again. This time it’s Cloudflare, The last time I wrote about a single board computer, it was AWS that went down on the same day. Today, I wrote about the LattePanda IOTA. I’ll let y’all know once I plan on writing about another single board computer, seems to be bad for the internet.

Cloudflare has stopped working today and half of the web has stopped working. Seeing this overreliance on it, it seems like the internet is more fragile and more prone to being deleted. Are there any meaningful and secure alternatives to it lainons?

An essential part of my fitness routine is my early morning walks . On weekdays, I leave my home on the outskirts of my small provincial town, walk to downtown, and then return. It’s a brisk, almost hour-long loop before I sit down at my desk. On weekends, I take walks in the woods or to the beach, or if I have the time, head out for a mountain hike . These walks make my daily zen moment. Sometimes I come back and, if I try, I can’t rem..
