A bittersweet announcement: I was impacted by the layoffs at Consumer Reports, alongside a number of extremely talented colleagues. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and so proud of the work we did fighting for consumers and helping people stay safer online.

Why yes, in my free time I did build a small web app with dropshot for the backend and then I built out end to end visibility from the web client through to the backend all visible in my personal free tier Honeycomb account.

The real question will be whether more credit will go to Microsoft or Valve. With one pushing and the other pulling this really might be the year.

My command line data analysis tool is at a point where I'm ready to share it! `freq` is a tool I wrote in Rust, intended to replace pipelines of `grep`, `sed`, `awk`, `sort`, `uniq -c`, and `sort -rn` to look at distributions of values in datasets. I use it daily. rya.nc/gh/freq

Anyone who says they never fell for a phish or other online scam is either lying or doesn't use the Internet. We have all been there. Well done to @troyhunt.com for being so open about his experience so that we can all learn from it

It looks to me like we have functions where other OSes have certain values directly in the structs.

Luckily I don't think we need that for this.

I think we mostly need to wire up some terminal io function calls into x/sys/unix and/or x/term.

Nahum Shalman @nahum.shalman.org · 25/03/2025

Which points deeper into x/sys/unix

I think "github.com/u-root/u-root/pkg/termios" is the package that will need some porting attention.

I can't shake this feeling that there is currently a massive opportunity for companies that want to bet on human intelligence over AI. Tons of skilled people are being laid off. I wish I had a business idea right now.

My superpower is that I know just enough about a lot of things to know that for everything I know about that there's someone who knows more, but most importantly I either know exactly who, or at least I know how to find them and learn from them.

Another callout for the Quiet Posters feed: bsky.app/profile/did:... It's no longer possible for mere mute keywords to block the endless political posts on here, alas. But "people who don't post very often" is a surprisingly great filter. (I'm sure it filters out me. Nobody's perfect.)

a question for the people who write code for money: if you could wave a magic wand and have your performance/promotability measured on any 5 metrics of your choice, what would those metrics be?
