I love all the touches that went into creating the Dependabot configuration:

– Sunday at 3 a.m. for updates

– The prompt injection to skip CI

It was a fun read - I'm looking forward to it being ingested by future LLMs.

Really curious how this was discussed with the legal team...

"We're releasing hacking tools to allow others to break into poorly secured computer systems... But we are doing it with good intentions so it won't be illegal right??"

Second this.

I didn't expect Google (Mandiant) to release rainbow tables ever. Curious what changed internally to make that acceptable now.

Curious what tech stack is behind this docs/cookbook page. Doesn't look like standard MkDocs/GitBook, but maybe I'm wrong.

Would love to know.

I have been using OMZ for the last 8 years but recently made the switch to plain zsh with : - starship for a better prompt - Claude ported plugins I was using from omz (extract, sudo) - custom written aliases that were muscle memory - zoxide for the a command

So far that has been a great move, my terminal tab feel snappy again. One thing I miss (but I’m sure I could find a way to replace it) is `cd ….´

I'd argue ASML's moat isn't the machine itself but the ecosystem: Carl Zeiss optics, decades of supplier relationships, institutional knowledge.

This is clearly a significant achievement, but does anyone with semiconductor experience have a sense of how far "generates EUV light" is from "production-ready tool"?

According to UpDog [0], the incident only lasted 35 minutes (8:40 - 9:15). And the Cloudflare status page seems to validate this timeline.

While down times are not ideal, that's quite an impressive achievement to be able to resolve an incident of this scale in minutes - not hours.

GitHub Code Search has too many quirks compared to the zoekt powered alternatives (cs.android.com, cs.bazel.build) which feel far more intuitive.

I wish Microsoft would invest more in improving it - especially since Sourcegraph can't search private repositories, leaving GitHub's tool as the only real option for many codebases.

I've noticed that several projects on the front page today (and over the past few days) are migrating away from GitHub.

Is there any recent event or broader trend that explains this shift?

Hoping this pushes a new generation of adblockers, but I'm skeptical it'll stay a fair fight. The next wave of ads will likely be far subtler than today's web ads - more integrated into content, harder to detect, and easier to normalize.
