Found a brilliant dress that I've told me friends about because it has decent pockets. Not told my husband as it means I can still give him stuff to carry for me.

Aged beer tasting ready to commence. Oldest on the table is from 1971.

It's DNS, isn't it? It's always DNS.

DNS is the butler of IT.

There's a new article with more details on when the new inactivity reboot is triggered on iOS 18:

This is a cheap & great mitigation! While most people won't have their phone forensically analyzed, many more will have their devices stolen. It protects user data in both cases.

I've written a short story told from the perspective of an autonomous car.

I'd love your feedback on it.

Disney showed some of the first footage of Tron:Ares at D23 in Brazil. The footage includes light cycles in the real world slicing through cars.

Apparently, bootleg footage is on social media. Damned if I can find it. Anyway, back to work.

Sent congratulations to Governor Trump. Look forward to meet to discuss Ukraine, without Ukraine.

If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.

It takes twenty human seconds to delete a folder from a USB key on a Windows machine now and I honestly can't make myself believe that the same people who cannot make a file browser work right will taking us all to AI Hypergod Productivity Heaven.

I'm honestly ready to start buying into something like Roko's Basilisk that includes the idea of basic functionality working right.

@SwiftOnSecurity '...this is the first time I've seen it.'

Well, not really. It's obvious you weren't watching the interviewee on camera, or you would have asked why they are typing.

All the engineers and analysts I've interviewed are on camera or in-person.

The number of first-round interviewees who are pinch-hitting for a friend or for money is non-zero.

If they show up for another interview, or actually walk in for the job, I do look at the contemporaneous screen shot and notes from my interview.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8. Where do you get your books?

I read ebooks exclusively because of my poor eyesight. I've been doing this since roughly 2008, although I began reading ebooks in the late 90s.

I have a Kindle account although I'm weaning myself off it in favour of Kobo and smaller independent ebook stores. ("Do not give money to billionaire oligarchs like Jeff Bezos" seems like a sound principle, especially as Amazon is enshittifying their ebook experience rapidly these days.)
