Bitcoin tracing would, over the next few years, solve the mystery of the theft of a half-billion dollar stash of bitcoins from the world’s first crypto exchange, help enable the biggest dark-web drug market takedown in history, lead to the arrest of hundreds of pedophiles around the world in the bust of the dark web’s largest child sexual abuse video site, and result in the first-, second-, and third-biggest law enforcement monetary seizures in the history of the US Justice Department.
Damn! It DID have a use after all! I guess I'll have to stop disparaging it!

Patching all affected devices, which include some Macs and iPhones, may be tough. A person and an AI can keep a secret if one is dead
And once again, "To exploit the vulnerability, which the researchers call LeftoverLocals, attackers would need to already have established some amount of operating system access on a target’s device."

The startlingly extent to which websites and brokers hand over details of people's habits to Facebook was revealed Wednesday. You might not be on Facebook, but they're on to you

The number of people who have left the rust project due to burnout is shockingly high. Couldn't you have gone with, "Rust is rusting"?
And apparently their shift key has also burned out

It's like JavaScript fatigue, except JavaScript was in the right time at the right place to get adoption and its fatigue never really set in until after it was used everywhere.

New year, new me.
TTFN - Kent
|
|
|
|

In this article, I’ll kick things off by looking at what happened in 2023. Then, I’ll give you my thoughts on what might happen this year. Not too Flash-y, I hope?
|
|
|
|
|
For many, "new year, new me" includes finding a new job. Scouring sites like LinkedIn and Indeed for opportunities can feel like a full-time role in and of itself. Unfortunately, the categories it uses are, "Kiss, Marry, Kill"
|
|
|
|
|
That's because a lot of companies like to stand out and get creative when naming roles and categories.
I'm a software dev. So, when left with no job, I go to the national job register and try and update my profile. There's someone usually at their location to help you out with it. So, first question, "what do you do?"
"I'm a software developer"
-"So you're a programmer?"
"No, I develop software"
-"Which parts? Do you design, program, or do you write automated tests or what?"
"All of that, including the 'or what'".
-"So you're a software engineer?"
"No, I'm not an engineer, I'm a dev. Engineer is a protected title."
-"I'm confused. What is it exactly that you develop? Code, testcode, databases?"
"ALL OF IT!"
-"So you're an Engineer? Or a DBA?"
"Just put me in the category 'Smartass' and never contact me again."
The day after, you get a mail from Germany, where they ask for a "lead developer". So, obviously, you ask what you lead. You get as an answer that everybody reports to the "architect" and that all devs in the team are called "lead developers". Aw, sorry, no, I cannot work in such an environment where a name is even subject to marketing instead of being something informational and functional

Atoms can absorb and reemit light—this is an everyday phenomenon. In most cases, however, an atom emits a light particle in all possible directions—recapturing this photon is, therefore, quite hard. But can they play it with a beer bottle in the other hand?
|
|
|
|
|
I would hope it would be with high precision, have you SEEN how small a photon is? The atoms aren't all that big either.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Only those who are not Brave enough use Chrome.
I'd use Firefox more but at work every browser that's not Chrome is filtered by the proxy and while changing the presentation string of Firefox to the one of Chrome bypasses it nicely, it messes the layout on several sites. Brave is Chrome enough to pass the check and not create issues with the layouts so...
