Nice work, using fixed-function units for unexpected applications feels properly old-school!

I had the same experience, lol. I started with Crime and Punishment expecting thinly veiled philosophy where each character is a mouthpiece for one of the author's thought processes. Granted there's some of that, but I wasn't expecting such an exciting murder drama. Went into Karamazov expecting an exciting murder drama, and got the type of Russian literature I initially expected Crime and Punishment to be! Really it's a question of expectations.

Truly the biggest prize of the IOCCC is getting your name listed next to geniuses like the author of nanochess.

So every time my ISP changes my IP, facebook pitches a fit, makes me solve a dozen captchas and authenticate on an existing login session, but in the meantime Meta' sother website doesn't even require using the registration email for a password reset?

Pathetically hypocritical to use AI to write this blog post when generic copy editors have been hit way harder by AI than programmers.

15 years ago, Enterprise FizzBuzz [1] was supposed to be satire. These days, it's not quite complex enough to capture "modern" web dev.

For a long time, windows had two options:

1. Update and restart and prompt for bitlocker password and update and restart and prompt for bitlocker password and restart

2. Update and restart and prompt for bitlocker password and update and restart and prompt for bitlocker password and shut down (and restart)

Finally, they fixed the last bit of option 2

Microsoft Go? I've used Go on windows for years now and this is the first I've heard of this fork. So it only exists because microsoft wants to have a crypto package that complies with an arbitrary regulation? Is there a reason that a better package requires a fork of the entire runtime rather than just, say, a normal Go package? It sounds like it requires cgo to call into third-party libraries, but that's already a common practice in "normal" Go libraries.

One thing I do appreciate is how the relevant issue in the upstream Go repo says: "A number of companies must comply with them, for example as part of a broader FedRAMP compliance posture. (If that's not you, you can ignore this. Run!)" [1]

Apparently I'm just not the target audience. Sounds like I'm correct in assuming it's security theater at best, and an avenue for new backdoors at worst.

The velocity of a spacecraft in low earth orbit is over 15,000 miles per hour. Smashing into the atmosphere is perhaps the most fuel- and cost-efficient way to slow down to a speed at which landing is possible.

Heh, so it's an 1897 version of what this guy on youtube attempted with a monster truck with mild success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohxGA7fpfu0 (warning: extremely redneck)
