I'm releasing my book, Modern Cryptanalysis, for free! It's been out of print for a while now. I've cleaned it up a slight bit and reformatted it, and put the PDF up on my site. Enjoy!.

I might spend the weekend programming (in Rust) for a game jam on Twitch. #PIGSquad My cat may be sleeping in the background, or on my chest, at various points.

I like the shirts I got from Fresh Clean Threads, but their website is total garbage -- it logs me out constantly, forgets my orders, and keeps trying to upsell me on things I don't want. Plus, their "free shipping" isn't free -- it doesn't count as free if you add an asterisk

I've published a video for my talk from SeaGL 2023 — Going as fast as possible in Rust: An in-depth look at the Quadratic Sieve. This is technically my backup, practice version, but it came out okay, so I decided to go ahead and upload it. Enjoy!.

Honestly the case is the weakest part of my Thelio system, and this looks at a glance like it will have the same problems — can’t turn the computer on with the cover off, way too many screws to remove for simple access, power button often doesn’t connect well with base case, ….
Nebula is arriving late this month. It’s our new line of PC cases inspired by Thelio desktops.

I dreamt of a fun talk I could propose to @rustconf but unfortunately my dream forgot to tell me that the CFP deadline has passed!.

I’ve been digging to ARM performance on my M2 mac in Rust, trying to figure out some weird performance issues. I might write up a blog post, but it looks like:. incredible memory bandwidth. big L1 cache (128 KB).- only 128-bit SIMD. Haven’t dug into the GPU yet.

Honestly the reason I don’t play board games anymore is because I realized I am That Fucking Guy and that is rarely fun for others.
A part of game design I don't think we talk about enough is how much time we dedicate to making a game That-Fucking-Guy Proof. Whenever we have a great or cool idea, we immediately turn to "how would the most obnoxious player imaginable exploit and ruin this for everyone?".

Saw a clip from Married… With Children, and was amazed at how well Al dressed and that they had a pretty nice house. Hits different in 2023.

I tried calling a financial institution and they said “please enter your password”. ?. They clarified: “enter the digit associated with the letter or * if a special character”. …. WHY ARE THEY STORING MY PASSWORD IN A FORMAT THEY CAN VERIFY LIKE THIS? (PROBABLY IN THE CLEAR).
