Large-scale quantum computers are capable of breaking all of the common forms of asymmetric cryptography used on the Internet today. Luckily, they don’t exist yet. The Internet-wide transition to...

Unlike Alex Karp, who recently gave an interview making fun of college grads, Thiel is right. Young ppl inherit a set of values from their elders, a cultural blueprint. If abiding by the cultural scripts leads you to a bad place, maybe the cultural script is the issue.
Peter Thiel today: “Boomers are strangely uncurious about how the world is not really working for their kids. It’s always hard to know how much bad faith there is or how bad the actors are. I think it’s odd that people thought it was odd that I was complaining about student debt

Lina Khan blocked both the Spirit/JetBlue and iRobot (Roomba)/Amazon mergers, and now both Spirt and iRobot are shutting down, cancelling pensions, and firing everyone.
If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

I've been writing code for 15-ish years and I still don't understand the difference between dependency injection and "passing arguments".

Two things always come for your schema: 1. Booleans become enums or timestamps (enabledAt) 2. “User has one team” becomes “user has many teams”
I trust you more if you use string enums, e.g. `status: 'enabled'`, unless you are 100000% sure that it will only ever be two boolean states

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. https://t.co/No1fZCl3UD

Good reminder to always add an empty file on your server: dd if=/dev/zero of=~/emptyfile bs=1M count=4096 Then if the disk fills up, you can delete this file to reliably free up some space.
Early in my DevOps career, I deleted a 5GB log file from a production server that was running out of space. I ran df -h expecting to see the disk usage drop. It didn’t. Still showed 100% full. No errors, no warnings. Just the same disk usage as before I deleted anything.
