Web PKI drama is always astonishing to me because it is one of the only areas of the entire world where a corporation's "fucking around" is seldom ever not followed by a sobering "finding out" period. The various entities that decide what CAs to trust can effectively dismantle any CA business in the world, basically at the drop of a hat. If DigiCert decides to play this game and lose, it would make them the biggest such loser so far. DigiCert is, as far as I know, the largest CA on the Internet. It would certainly send a strong message, and cause a lot of chaos, if the biggest CA on the Internet found itself being removed from trust stores. Yet, there's no particular reason it couldn't happen. How exciting.

Of course, I think that is unlikely, but on the other hand, it's just as cathartic to imagine whatever idiot at DigiCert thought it was a good idea to engage legal here to have the dressing down of a lifetime. I read the thread in question. It doesn't make DigiCert look good, but this action definitely is more damning to them than anything Collan said in my opinion.

>The New York Pizza in Brisbane, QLD is alien by comparison and I think they consider "pepperoni" and "salami" interchangeable down there.

It gets even worse south of brisbane in Logan.

We have like, one wholesale supplier of "Halal Beef Pepperoni" and all the non chain pizza shops down here seem to have standardised on it, to appeal to the local religious sensibilities.

Its like eating a damp meat flavoured rag. It has no spice to it.

We have a "Brooklyn Slice" opening up, and they seem to be advertising normal salami. If its spicy at all, it will change the game.

Becaus while Symfony seemed to be "the right way to do it", Laravel focused on DX and the ecosystem and was still performant enough to start a business and scale it.

There is just more attraction for things that make it easy for people to work with / build stuff, for that very reason RoR is still a big thing in 2025 and if you look at Java, people are still using Spring Boot while there are interesting competitors who may have an edge in performance and some other aspects (e.g. Quarkus).

No, a bubble op bubbles one element into the correct position in a sorted list. If it was restricted to bubbling the maximum or minimum to the end of the list, the full sort would use one bubble, it would complete in linear time, and the list wouldn't be sorted afterwards.

You're correct that this is also a good match to insertion sort, but only conceptually.

(Note that one classic bubblesort pass moves several elements when the data is unsorted - when an element has bubbled as far as it can go, the bubblesort pass picks up the element that blocked it and carries that one further, and this process repeats until the end of the data is reached. For our purposes, there is no difference, because we're bubbling into a perfectly sorted list, so once our initial element stops moving, nothing else can move.)

The bigger difference between an insertion op and a bubble op is in the number of assignments.

This is the chain of operations you get while bubbling:

swap(a5, a6)
swap(a4, a5)
swap(a3, a4)

This is the chain of operations you get while inserting:

temp = a6
a6 = a5
a5 = a4
a4 = a3
a3 = temp

Inserting never does any swaps. But each swap is three assignments, so the bubble in this case does nine assignments to the insertion's five. (And in general, if you need to sink a value n places into the data, bubbling it there will take 3n assignments, and inserting it there will take n+2.) That is the advantage of knowing where you're going before you get there.

This? Finding outbound/inbound requests to an app?

Not sure it's worth an entire post. But:

The application in question is NetLimiter for Windows https://www.netlimiter.com/
(I'm sure there are others, btw)

It acts as a per-application firewall. It also has the ability to block internet access completely, as well as Priorities (bandwith allocation) per application.

By default it will pop up a window every time an application makes web requests, either inbound or outbound.

You have the option to Deny or Allow the operation. And options to have that be temporary (next x minutes) or permanent.

After being set up an alarming number of applications will cause NetLimiter popups, but very soon everything will either be allowed or blocked.
Having worked in data in Melbourne and also met the author of the post you link, I think saying the entire industry is a scam is an overgeneralization. There's some especially bad stuff going on in parts of the industry (e.g Melbourne government or government-adjacent parts) but in others parts of the industry data engineering and analysis is hugely valuable.

Exactly. I have no idea why people trust Apple when they were working with NSA and China for surveillance and censorship. Their software is 100% closed source. You've no idea what it does despite all marketing. They may make great hardware but it's foolish to have trust in their privacy claims.

> It's not hard to make, its a relatively simple CLI tool so there's no moat

There are similar open source CLI tools that predate Claude Coder. Its reasonable to assume Anthropic chose not to contribute to those projects for reasons other than complexity, and charitably Anthropic likely plans for differentiating features.

> Also, the minified source code is available

The redistribution license - or lack thereof - will be the stumbling block to directly reusing code authored by Anthropic without authorization.
1) The fact that the President embodies the executive branch is just what Article II says: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.” The same people who say that’s “just a theory” also think that “emanations from penumbras” is constitutional law. They’re not serious people.

2) Trump hasn’t seized the spending power. Congress was the one that delegated spending power to the executive branch by appropriating multi-billion line items and directing the executive branch to spend the money with only the vaguest instructions. Live by the delegation sword die by the delegation sword.

While Musk's cithara gently weeps.

My understanding is it’s on an offset elliptical orbit. This is essentially the farthest point away from earth with the other end of orbit being very close to Earth.

From a tactical perspective, that means this can interact with basically any other satellite.

I watched some talks he gave 15 years ago and what struck me was that he would use analogies to things like physics that were just objectively incorrect. He was confidently talking about a subject he clearly didn't understand at even an undergraduate level.

Then for the rest of the talk he would speak just as confidently about coding. Why would I believe anything he has to say when his confidence is clearly not correlated to how well he understand the material?
We're getting warmer.

Back in the days of king and country, people went through all that, went home, and some lived normal lives. A whole lot hid in that trauma from the neighbors and instead took it out on their families because it wasn't acceptable to let it out to anyone else. Everything was "great". That's how it's remembered decades later. That’s how we got a lot of boomers raised by dads who never got therapy.

Recently, in the days of plague, while millions actually suffered and died, a person in a million cried out online about masks. That's 350 a day in the US alone. And, everyone around the world got to watch. How it's remembered today is every one of us saw at least one of them break down and it still sticks with us all.

> This used to be called a whinge. It wasn't celebrated

And, this piece certainly is not a celebration.

The difference between a whinge and a trauma dump is significant here. You should whinge with your buddies occasionally. Not so much you become annoying. Trauma should only be dumped on people who are professionally prepared to help you through it. But, a whole lot of people don’t find prepared help for a whole lot of reasons. Instead they dump it on unprepared strangers. Frequently. Randomly. Commonly. Thus, the term.

> "explosive word vomit" is, as yet, the most accurate three-word description of it I have seen so far.

A trauma dump is usually explosive word vomit. Random chain of thought. But, consider the possibility that this piece was crafted carefully. I know it’s easy to dismiss out of hand. But, try. Why is each sentence there?

> That doesn’t make it a poem!

I’ll grant there is not a lot of structure to be found here. It’s free verse without the line breaks. Not really prose. It’s not telling a story. There’s a beginning. There’s a state of frustration, compassion, boredom, despair, and a loop back to the beginning. Over and over. For decades and counting. That’s the structure. It’s no iambic pentameter. But, it’s something.

But, impressive vocabulary and flowery visuals? Really? I’m going to assume you are flexible there and don’t require a high school English class interpretation of poetry. As called out in the article.
I was a sophomore EE student when these came out. There were debates about whether to allow calculators in the classroom, somewhat irrelevant to me, since the price was out of reach anyway. Then the ME department made a deal to order in bulk, answering the debate, and making the marvelous machine somewhat affordable. I begged my father, and he fronted me the $271.40 (the HP-45 had just come out, so the 35 came down in price). Glorious days!
> what we're concerned with is Apple itself misusing our data in some way… and it’s in fact an unsolvable solution as long as their server side code is closed source (or otherwise unavailable for self-hosting as binaries)

It is in fact a solvable problem. The binaries are indeed available for self hosting in a virtualized PCC node for research purposes.[1] Auditors can confirm that the binaries do not transmit data outside of the environment. There are several other aspects of the architecture that are designed to prevent use data from leaking outside of the node’s trust boundary, for example TLS terminates at the node level and nodes use encrypted local storage so user data is unreadable to any other node / part of the organization.

Even with just the public area, you can still:

- Access storage areas and bike lockers
- Walk down the hall and check which doors aren't locked
- Smash the coin-operated laundry machines and steal the money
- Just wait for someone to open their door

(All of which happened in an apartment building I lived in a few years ago)
What sort of startup has C suite?
"Are we going to ignore the fact that part of that government spending funded private companies owned by Musk?"

Elon musk has received ~$18 billion over a decade. In exchange he gave us the first broad market electric cars and reusable rockets which were lucrative outside of the public sector. While I have broad concerns about the money going in the pockets of the wealthy from government spending, this doesn't strike me as bad ROI. Just looking at the dollars and cents, the income/capital gains taxes paid by tesla/spacex workers+management over the last decade is almost certainly a substantially larger figure (I think Elon himself paid $11 billion in one year?) so the net "funding" of this "investment" from the government is a negative figure and this contributed to the balance sheet rather than subtracted from it.

While I may agree with you about certain problems we are seeing (e.g. wealth inequality), I think we disagree on the causes and solutions. I primarily blame government and would cite specifics such as 1 a slow down in housing construction that I blame on regulatory change (leading to large price gains which benefit established home owners) and 2 spending on bureaucracy that I view as generally going to well off people 3 skyrocketing cost of education which I generally blame on universities being enabled by incentives often from the government to act like a business and not a public good 4 increased cost of medical care which I generally view as a collection of market failings also caused by (in my view) bad policy (e.g. doctors are protected from immigrants taking their jobs due to the medical credentials not often being able to cross borders) 5 worse demographics (aging population requires more medical care and produces fewer workers). I believe you generally blame billionaires or the "very rich" who you feel are capturing a large share of the economy and I would be curious for you to lay out your case for this.

"You have to be extremely out of touch with reality and its consequences for real people if you think this is the right way to do it. The only people cool with this are prepubescents and immature adults who seem to think that life is like a video game full of NPCs and not of people who live actual meaningful lives like themselves."

I will acknowledge that often cuts are painful, chaotic, and impact real people. The nature of management for large organizations and in this case an enforced tight timeline due to political terms in my view make this inevitable and I am hopeful that there are long term positive outcomes that make the short term pain worthwhile. I don't think this makes me a prepubescent or immature adult and I don't view you or other people in life as an NPC. To be honest I view you as someone who is likely smart living a full life and who can probably be convinced with facts/figures along with a rational argument (although I will acknowledge that this takes time and happens over years / decades and not in a short conversation :D).

It would certainly send a strong message, and cause a lot of chaos, if the biggest CA on the Internet found itself being removed from trust stores.

How many will agree to that removal? How many will see one more reason to forever turn off automatic updates and decide what to trust themselves, having seen yet another way some faceless entity they never knew about can break things?

It will certainly send a strong message, but likely not the intended one. All it will do is increase the lack of trust in centralised PKI in general.
