… are fucking kidding me. A github.com cross-account RCE due to the most pedestrian of injection attacks along the obvious exposed surface… and they actually have a globally shared “git” UNIX user!! This is not what taking the role of supply chain stewards seriously looks like.

just a reminder that AI graphics in your tech blog posts still look lame ☺️ ❤️

yesterday I reported on GitHub employee concerns about reliability and leadership, and then hours later GitHub suffered a catastrophic outage 😬 www.theverge.com/news/918001/...

the github situation is crazy what do you mean you can just have random commits getting reverted

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

Big congrats and props to Thinking |> Elixir for 300 issues of continuously and consistently useful podcasting. podcast.thinkingelixir.com/300 Showing up like this is a skill and they've done a great job at it. #elixirlang

Imagine being a coder but thinking there's no artistry to writing code. What an empty existence

It's here! gleam_stdlib v1 released!

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Fun Fact: Iceland's biggest places are all in a straight line.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵 (1/5) www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I was so sad to learn that the Artemis crew can't return to Earth because the heat from data centers has made the planet inhospitable

I'm designing Local-First features for Hologram (instant UI, optimistic updates, offline resilience) and I'd love to hear your ideas. What's your dream DX? Don't think about what's possible - think about what you'd want if there were no constraints. Full discussion: elixirforum.com/t/designing-...

have you seen the new supply chain vuln? don't update tubu. it's literally on heebee. they got poodee's deps. they infiltrated dippy. roll back weeno. disable scripts in ~/.gumpyrc. it's in poob. do not install poob. do not update poob. uninstall poob right now. poob has it in for you.

Is it just me? Or does it feel like the safest way to protect yourself from JavaScript and Python supply chain attacks is to just not use them? #ElixirLang

#arXiv, the granddaddy of #preprints servers, has announced it’s splitting from Cornell U., its long-time host institution. Leaders there explain why. #OpenAccess #ScholComm @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

Hey #ElixirLang folks! Here's a little something I've been working on. I'd love some early stage feedback. dux.now

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

LLMs will NEVER be able to cure my anxiety/depression. 😏

Got to visit a piece of history today: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_v...

Thinking that you’ll be more successful the more coding agents you have running in parallel is like thinking you’ll be more successful as a manager the more reports you have.

These days when I detect even the slightest hint of LLM-generated writing, I instantly disconnect and filter/block the author/source as much as possible. It's like a negative reputation system for me. If you can't express your thoughts without an LLM, I consider it a waste of my time to read them.

"Good. Now I have a complete picture." I promise you, you don't.

Oh noooo, the company that extracted our data for their models is having others extracting data for their models

The squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers. This is a mess of Trump's own making — and a reminder that he's not all powerful.

This is blackout poetry to me
