The sad thing about standard innovation pundits is that they get excited about all the stuff you'd expect a corporate capitalist system to do - more automation, acceleration, centralisation
It's like reporting on the predictable progress of a cancer as exciting cutting edge news
Hey vuln research folks - has anyone switched to Apple Silicon and discovered a good setup for running x86/x64 VMs?
Came across a copy of „Why programs fail. A guide to systematic debugging“ from 2005/2012. Does anyone know whether a sequel exists, one that covers debugging in a world of hyperscalers and microservices and distributed-computing-as-default? Because I’d read the heck out of that.
The state of the European rail network is a bit sad. Sure, it could be worse, but taking the train is still more of an expensive hassle than it needs to be, compared to flying. For example, why is there no night train between Paris and Berlin? Makes no sense to me.
Ooh this seems handy: Userland Execution of Binaries Directly from Python, anvilsecure.com/blog/userlan…

Found an amazing caterpillar, got so excited that I dropped my phone and smashed the screen trying to photograph it. I’ll try to think of it as a ritual sacrifice at the altar of Squeeeee.
Currently learning Go because of work things, and… I mean, I don’t want to offend Go lovers, I’m sure there’s a lot to love, but it keeps making me think of Combo Funbucket.
Been wondering about this statement, because it doesn’t match my experience - save for the odd teacher who tried to steer me into more feminine pursuits, but that’s probably not what’s meant here? Who told the „us“ in that sentence that, and why? Is there a class component here?

Wtaf. I’ve lived in Berlin almost 40 years, never had a bike stolen. I move to the middle of fscking nowhere in Brandenburg, and my locked, ratty old bike gets stolen in the first two weeks. Bike thieves, may you burn in hell.
Fish are dying off en masse in the East German river Oder right now, and it’s not clear yet what’s causing it. The routine river water measurements look like an intriguing microbiological puzzle though: lfu.brandenburg.de/lfu/de/au…

Here goes - my very first amateur biologist biorxiv submission in partnership with & guidance from @kmaclea. First sequencing and complete genome assembly of Halococcus dombrowskii, hinting at a Haloarchaea with extra rRNA operons on its plasmids. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
