You win the internet friend

Pick a problem you’re interested in and just work on solving it, in go. The best way to learn is to hit the rough edges and just keep going.

If an oldie like me can learn go well so can you


I am a bit of an oldie too (44) and my background is in C#

I am thinking of making a CLI scoundrel card game.


I’m 42, never went to college (I joined the army) and am now a Principal Security Engineer at a serious computer security firm. I’ve got a background in Linux high performance computing and software engineering.

If I can do this, anyone can. I believe in you internet friend. In tech, every day’s a school. Embrace it and learn something new daily, or get left behind. You’ve got this


Oh yes, because the well documented clean syntax of sys v init shell scripts was so nice.

If I never recall hacking in ulimit calls in the top of buggy shell scripts for crappy old services that done respect pam_limits it won’t be soon enough.


This is why Ukraine is so excited to get up to 150 Gripens (with Meteor loadout) from the Swedes.


Their action is also super handy: https://github.com/zizmorcore/zizmor-action

Use pinact (you can brew install it) to pin it by checksum: https://github.com/suzuki-shunsuke/pinact


Just gonna leave this absolute gem from Thomas Ptacek on DNSSEC here:

Aged like a milk.


Oh, yeah, I'm sure feeling chastened right now. You got me.


Parmigianino-Reggiano is aged milk, so I'm not sure what people have against aged milk. Aged milk can be great


My poor fellow. You wrote about how something is a bad tool for a long list of serious reasons. Then it failed spectacularly because everybody decided to depend on it anyway - exactly what you were cautioning against. But somehow you have to respond to people who think you are the one who got it wrong! As a third party the whole affair gave me a good chuckle at least ;)


Germany appears to depend on it. Virtually none of North America does. I'm pretty satisfied with how this whole thing shook out!


You're wrong. Both .com and .net are signed (`dig RRSIG com.`), and if they screw up, then all the com/net zones will become inaccessible.


Virtually no zones under .com/.net are signed, which was the only point I was making. It has no adoption here.


Even if example.com is unsigned, the delegation from .com to example.com will still be signed (including an attestation that example.com is unsigned). So lack of DNSSEC adoption by users of the TLD wouldn't save them here.


Sure. But that was not the issue with .de, it has about the same level of DNSSEC adoption as .com

DENIC screwed up the TLD itself, and .com/.net are just as susceptible.


Sssshh, don't give Verisign any bad ideas!


https://graphify.net and trail of bits’s trail mark https://github.com/trailofbits/trailmark

Both use treesitter and create knowledge graphs for llm use. It results in way less tokens spent as well.


Yes, several projects have been going in the right direction.

But also - see https://safebots.ai/grokers.html


The US Navy has been working on their idea of a holy grail they have deemed the free electron laser[1]

I believe tools like graphify cut down the tokens in thinking dramatically. It makes a knowledge graph and dumps it into markdown that is honestly awesome. Then it has stubs that pretend to be some tools like grep that read from the knowledge graph first so it does less work. Easy to setup and use too. I like it.

Michael Meek’s referenced blog post. The irony is I remember him championing openness for OpenOffice and I remember how transparent he was when he helped found libreoffice and TDF. What a shame we have devolved to this situation.
