I really hope other countries/regions follow suit... open-web-advocacy.org/blog/japan-a...

Is it too late to introduce "bribe coding" as the human-powered way to generate code?

Exciting! Vector35's excellent @binary.ninja ships with built-in BinExport in the latest dev version! Here's how to use it with #BinDiff: dev-docs.binary.ninja/guide/binexp...

Is there a list of words chiefly used in answers by AI tools? Feel like "unravel" should be on it.

The @archive.org is amazing - I needed a Windows 2000 VM with CorelDRAW! 9 to create a PDF of a very old file and here I am on my 2020 M1 MacBook running archived software from 1999...

Compiler is out for 4th of July

D:\a\binexport\build\_deps\protobuf-src\src\google/protobuf/descriptor_visitor.h(108): fatal error C1001: Internal compiler error. How's everyone else's Friday going? (MSVC 19.44.35209.0)

MSFT be like youtu.be/r0mO6UY6uTg?...

Experimenting with #BinExport builds for IDA Pro 9.1: github.com/cblichmann/b... (macOS currently broken)

I rarely use Windows these days, but I'm always amazed at how broken Windows Update still is. Today's (un)installment: Windows 11 24H2 - "we could not install it, but you may retry later". Like, tell me what is wrong instead so I might fix it.

www.bbc.com/news/article... I don't claim to speak for most Germans, but the agency's classifaction of "extreme-right" basically means "Nazis" for me. The parliament now needs to find a way to deal with this (up to and including a ban). Interesting times.

2025 is 30% complete.

PSA #BinDiff for IDA 9.1+ will happen: github.com/google/bindi...

Surprisingly clarifying and… terrifying?

lol. Halvar's final slide

Building secure web apps shouldn't be a burden. We've built a high-assurance web framework at Google that makes security easy for developers. Learn about our "Secure by Design" approach and how it works in our new blog post: bughunters.google.com/blog/6644316... cc: @ddworken.bsky.social

It's out and make for a very interesting read: github.com/google/secur... IMO, AMD should own it and release a microcode SDK.... @sirdarckcat.bsky.social

YARA-X 0.13.0 is out: github.com/VirusTotal/y... As always, Victor and the contributors are cranking out quality improvements! In particular, check out the docs on how to use the formatter and linter and open issues (or tell me somehow) if you hit bugs or have things you want to see.

Sound design by me!!

Weird. Setting up a new Google TV takes as long as installing Windows 3.11 from floppy. Setup also feels weirdly convoluted.

In the Bay Area again. I honestly don't get the US. I mean y'all are overworked and get too little sleep to begin with, why is everything so freaking loud? AC ventilation, highways close to residential apartments and I get yelled at by anyone doing crowd management.....

Go home Rust syntax, you're drunk: "".to_owned() (yes, yes, I know why and what it means, but the visual clutter is annoying, give me proper literals)

2025 is 0% complete.

Celebrations in South Korea as the President is impeached for attempting a coup d'état. Democracy has been protected. (📹/imyour_space)

The Fukuoka High Court ruled on Friday that Japan's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, as it violates people’s right to pursue happiness — stronger phrasing than in its lower court ruling.

If you’re in the field of computing, I highly recommend spending time watching THE MOTHER OF ALL DEMOS. Key things to notice: • Nothing that enables the demo existed. Not even interrupt paths on the CPU. • To this day, the things demonstrated there don’t exist as products or computing concepts.

Ever wondered about how #BinDiff reads the BinExport2 format to build its flow graph representations? This post by Willi Ballenthin sheds some light on this: www.williballenthin.com/post/binexpo...

Gut, na dann... Tun wir halt wieder einmal etwas semi-legales im Namen offener Daten.

Imported all of my tweets/posts from Twitter/X using github.com/marcomaroni-.... It seems to have worked ok, but note that Bluesky is showing the posts as new and marking them as imported.

I had a lot of fun talking about optimising and sustainability, with @halvarflake.bsky.social and Niki and @tomwilkie.bsky.social. bigtent.fm/s2/8

It's impossible to ensure democracy prevails with laws alone. For obvious historical reasons, Germans have thought long and hard about instruments to deal with a state of emergency (https://t.co/I7djOs1mvX). But it still needs to be lived, or it's worth nothing. #SouthKorea

Any good scifi to escape this grim reality? Completely unrelated to current events, of course....

(More than) slightly anxious about US #ElectionDay...

Today I came across a curious @rustlang pattern for "asserts". Is there a name for this? Should I use this? Is this too clever?

Tried with my grandpa, too. He did everything like I told him, but his fingers were too dry to register on the touchscreen :-( https://x.com/halvarflake/status/1853178674872471634

Playing around with @rustlang - what's the preferred way to implement a custom comparator for BTreeSet if I want my value type to also be able to be inserted in a different BTreeSet with a different comparator? Implement Ord and Deref for a holder type?

Light late night rant: @HexRaysSA IDA Pro going subscription only seems like a bold move - especially, when the new, subscription-only "breakthrough" version is not API backwards compatible. 1/N

Back in the Bay Area for the week, decided to go hug some trees to deal w/ jetlag. Thanks @maddiestone for pointing me to the @AllTrails app :-)

Hard same :) https://x.com/h3artcontainer/status/1832104317777817718
