"I'm interested in all kinds of astronomy."
You know what, I'm kind of OK with the #Firefox AI opt-whatever solution they have

...compared to the fact that they kill all my sessions by a forced fucking restart when I try to act responsibly and update.

That's fucking outrageous!

Log4j, *the* project that escalated the need for funding open source in the first place, is currently being DOS’d by slop vulnerability reports. Well done everyone. Slow fucking clap.

is secured for the billions - the steps we take. There is no silver bullet. No magic solution. Just plain engineering and doing everything as good as we can and to keep tightening every bolt there is.

This is really a "WTF how could they ever think this is a good idea?" kind of vulnerability. Usually the kind of stuff you get from shady, incompetent startups, but this is Google...

Signficant segments of the tech industry think we’re months away from not needing to review LLM-agent code anymore.

I just reviewed an LLM-generated PR in which it quietly switched two out of 100 calls to the get_customer_data() function to the variant that doesn’t check that the customer owns the requested data.

I’m sure this is fine.

Is it possible/reasonable to compile @fridadotre with V8 in 2026? (I just reported a couple of QuickJS bugs that are blockers for me)

If so, are there any documentation available about the build process or is that knowledge lost to bitrot?

How many people know that was co-founded by a black man, Mike Little?

Or that he's from the north of England? A self-taught coder from , just south of ? Or that he never received so much as a share, cent or job offer from the $7bn+ valued Automattic after spending five months working exclusively with Matt Mullenweg on the B2 fork?

After @bevangelist told me about @mikelittle I interviewed him for a documentary I never got round to making. Back then I was left with two certainties: he's Wozniak to Mullenweg's Jobs. Among other things he added the one-click upgrade that's been central to WP's bonkers 45%-of-the-web-success. And he's one of the nicest people I've ever interviewed, which is also bonkers given that he not only didn't share in WP's financial success, but that he's barely known.

But he should be - so, better late than never - please meet , perhaps the most-influential-least-known person in https://25.netribution.co.uk/nic/mike-little-the-british-co-founder-of-wordpress-youve-probably-never-heard-of/
