So fuckin’ weird to crack open an app and scroll around for five minutes like “eeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh” and close the app instead of smashing buttons and getting 5000 calories in a bag on the doorstep

Claude’s just the latest shoot-first/ask-later guy, not the first.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…

[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur. Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Hey guys, is licking the outsides of all the tamper-evidence packaging in the store praxis?

The only way to ethicality use AI tools is if you say the product name in a really bad Werner Herzog voice

I’m only gonna read a SCOTUS dissenting opinion if the justice who wrote it shoots Alito in the gut

See, I took the easy way out and went with a permutation-based scheme so I could just lean hard on Keccak. Not smart enough to do my own primitives.

X-Wing is, of course, a fucking delight, but this is just another little reason I’m on Team Hash Literally Everything Involved

Best part is, cops can’t do shit

A screenshot of a Go benchmark showing my permutation-based cryptography dingus in an AEAD scheme doing 1-byte plaintexts in 915ns/op and getting up to ~1800MiB/sec for 32KiB+ plaintexts

It’s even fast on dogshit AMD64 processors

Look at my boy, he’s beautiful

Eagerly awaiting the flaming pig episode

Going to make a thread here to keep track of engineering leadership metaphors I would like to make happen

Joan Daemen must feel like this every day

Not even kidding I made my own super high throughput PRF and authenticated cipher

OTOH giving them enough rope to solo hang themselves seems like a real timesaver

“The result is a monotonic increase in confidence, ceremony, packet size, and budget.” Like a Public Works Administration for cryptography engineers, lfg

American leftism will never achieve power if the response to a raccoon washing cotton candy in a stream and having it dissolve is “raccoons shouldn’t eat candy”

raccoons are adorable little scamps, and that shouldn’t be a hot take

A digital illustration of a fictional owl. In form similar to a barn owl with the same heart-shaped face but with the addition of feathery owl horns. It has a whitish face and belly and its wings, back, head, and tail are shared of deep red with gold spots and details including a gold tracing of its face shape and out to the end of the horns. It has deep, dark blue eyes and is perched on a branch. Next to the owl on the right is an hourglass the glass of which is housed in a slightly ornate gold structure with an organic viney motif. Most of the sand is in the bottom of the hourglass. Above that is some gold interconnected, art nouveau-esque lettering set inside a rectangle with a red background. The lettering reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Ronnie all your toothpastes taste terrible

Dunno if I’d go that far, inasmuch as I haven’t seen these dudes improvise and I’ve seen DOMi and JD absolutely thrash, but I’m delighted that microtonal extragalactic Quebecois surf rock is on my radar now

Whatever that Sardaukar priest was on

Bro did you hear about Clavicular bro he got crystalbaited by a gigastacey while he was solacemaxxing bro yeah in Sedona bro a box canyon yeah he’s in the hospital man
