Calling all developers! 📣 Innovate with our real-time and historical data on the X API. Get started with Pro👇


It is possible to construct malicious pickle data which will execute arbitrary code during unpickling... thanks OpenAI for your whispering pickle advice.


JPEG XL generally has better compression than WebP, JPEG, PNG and GIF and is designed to supersede them. Google and/or Microsoft however banished it from Interop "consensus" so they could control the market better. 👎

I bought an identical thermostat for the heating. Hid the real one & set it to 18°c & left the false one in usual place so my wife can turn it up to 25°c + with no affect .

In 2012, Twitter bought Vine for $30 million… then hung it out to dry. Vine is the perfect app to take down TikTok. Now that @ElonMusk owns Twitter, he can #BringBackVine. It’d be a massive blow to the Chinese Communist Party and a win for American national security.


Haaa

It's hilarious how many interviewers make a candidate use a whiteboard or scratch pad, with no web search or our tools, when that's not how we work on the job.

We are memorizing fewer things because relying on human memory alone is both fragile and inefficient. So we have auto-complete and abstractions removing a useless need for real-time knowledge like HTML syntax.



Correct and true

*spicy takes* - software engineering interviews mostly rely on memorization, luck, and confidence - being good at interviews does not make you intelligent or a good programmer - being bad at interviews does not make you unintelligent or a bad programmer

New: recently BMW announced plans to charge a subscription for heated seats. We spoke to the grey market hackers prepared to bypass that lock, and who already remotely access BMWs to permanently unlock features as more cars move to a subscription model vice.com/en/article/7k8…

12 wants our whole family to do a tech detox for a week. Bc I use tech for work, I’m permitted to use it during work hours on workdays. Otherwise, the next 7 days are screen-free. Wish us luck!

Currently products brag about being "smart". Like my coffee cup warmer that had me download an app, sign up for an account and ask for location permissions before it would warm my coffee. A future where products brag about being "dumb" must be coming and can't come soon enough.


Microsoft wants to log your logs now?

There is no stage at which integration of advertisement into your file manager is anything other than a catastrophically terrible idea. This should never have been developed, let alone get to a testing phase. ALL ad servers inevitably pass malware on.

It is true. I've been through it many times. Now I have to try not to scoff when I hear people in a company say they're "family" when they're not blood-related.
