    Eric O worked for a medical device company. The medical device industry moves slowly, relative to other technical industries. Medical science and safety have their own cadence, and at a certain point, iterating faster doesn't matter much. Eric was working on a new feature on a system that had been in use for thirteen years. This new feature interacted with a database which stored information about racks of test tubes, and Eric's tests meant creating several entries for racks of test tubes. And that's when Eric discovered that the database only allowed thirty racks. Add any more, it would just roll right back over to one. This was odd. The database was small- less than 40MB, even in production- and there were automatic tasks to purge old data for compliance p ...

  • CodeSOD: Three Letter Acronyms, Four Letter Words
    Candice (previously) has another WTF to share for us. We're going to start by just looking at one fragment of a class defined in this C++ code: TLAflaList. Every type and variable has a three-letter-acronym buried in its name. The specific meaning of most of the acronyms are mostly lost to time, so "TLA" is as good as any other three random letters. No one knows what "fla" is. What drew Candice's attention was that there was a type called "list", which implies they're maybe not using the standard library and have reinvented a wheel. Another data point arguing in favor of that is that the class had a method called getNumElements, instead of something more conventional like size. Let's look at that function: size_t TLAflaList::getNumElements() { return mv_FLA ...

    Tim (previously) supports a relatively ancient C++ application. And that creates some interesting conundrums, as the way you wrote C++ in 2003 is not the way you would write it even a few years later. The standard matured quickly. Way back in 2003, it was still common to use C-style strings, instead of the C++ std::string type. It seems silly, but people had Strong Opinions™ about using standard library types, and much of your C++ code was probably interacting with C libraries, so yeah, C-strings stuck around for a long time. For Tim's company, however, the migration away from C-strings was in 2007. So they wrote this: if( ! strncmp( pdf->symTabName().c_str(), prefix.c_str(), strlen( prefix.c_str() ) ) ) { // do stuff } This is doing a "starts with" ...

It's reasonable to convert a null into something like that. I don't know where this fits in the overall stack; I'm of the mind that you should retain the null until you absolutely can't anymore; like it or not, a null means something different than an empty string.

    The IEA says 2025 marked a turning point for global energy, with solar posting the largest growth ever seen for any energy source and helping carbon-free power outpace rising demand.

Ars Technica reports: The IEA report covers energy use, including the electrical grid, transportation, home heating, and other forms of consumption. As such, it can track how some of those uses are shifting, as electric vehicles displace some gasoline use and heat pumps replace gas and oil heating. It also saw a more global trend: The demand for electricity grew at twice the rate of overall energy demand. All of these went into the conclusion that we're starting the Age of Electricity.

  • Trump Administration Begins Refunding $166 Billion In Tariffs
    "After a Supreme Court of the United States ruling in Feb. 2026, many tariffs imposed by the Trump administration were declared illegal because the president overstepped his authority," writes Slashdot reader hcs_$reboot. "As a result, the U.S. government now has to refund a massive amount of money, around $160-170+ billion, paid mainly by importers." According to the New York Times, the administration has now begun accepting refund requests, "surrendering its prized source of revenue -- plus interest." From the report: For some U.S. businesses, the highly anticipated refunds could be substantial, offering critical if belated financial relief. Tariffs are taxes on imports, so the president's trade policies have served as a great burden for companies that rel ...

  • Palantir Posts Bond Villain Manifesto On X
    DeanonymizedCoward writes: Engadget reports that Palantir has posted to X a summary of CEO Alex Karp and Nicholas W. Zamiska's 2025 book, The Technological Republic, which reads like a utopian idealist doodled on a Bond villain's whiteboard. While the post makes some decent points, it also highlights the Big-AI attitude that the AI surveillance state is in fact a good thing, and strongly implies that the Good Guys need to do war crimes before the Bad Guys get around to it. "The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal," one of the 22 points states. "It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software." The book is billed as "a passionate call for the West to wake up to our ne ...

  • Allbirds' Move To AI Has Echoes of the Dot-Com Frenzy
    An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg, written by writer Austin Carr: Allbirds is pivoting to artificial intelligence. The San Francisco brand, whose wool running shoes were once the sneaker du jour among the tech crowd, announced last week that it was expanding into AI computing infrastructure. The bizarre strategic shift was immediately greeted with a surprising frenzy on Wall Street, where shares of Allbirds soared 582% last Wednesday before dropping the next day. [...] Of course, the absurdity of Allbirds' situation echoed familiar Silicon Valley tropes -- from the endless startup pivots of the 2010s to the more recent boom-and-bust cycles of arbitrarily valued crypto coins. But it immediately reminded me of the marketing ploys of the dot-co ...

  • NSA Using Anthropic's Mythos Despite Blacklist
    Axios reports that the NSA is using Anthropic's restricted Mythos Preview model despite the Pentagon insisting the company poses a "supply chain risk." Axios reports: The government's cybersecurity needs appear to be outweighing the Pentagon's feud with Anthropic. The department moved in February to cut off Anthropic and force its vendors to follow suit. That case is ongoing. The military is now broadening its use of Anthropic's tools while simultaneously arguing in court that using those tools threatens U.S. national security. Two sources said the NSA was using Mythos, while one said the model was also being used more widely within the department. It's unclear how the NSA is currently using Mythos, but other organizations with access to the model are usin ...

    So my wife and I have been married for a year and we've been together for 3 years total. I'm 40 and she's 36 and we have no kids. In her previous marriage, she was always a sahw and when we started dating she said she enjoyed it and asked if I was fine with that. She said she was a good cook and "always stayed busy" and I said I was fine with it if the house was clean and I was well fed, then I was happy. I've been a high earner for awhile and have always been frugal. I've saved over 50% of my income since I was 20 and now have a nice nest egg and a paid off house. Well recently we traveled to Colombia and liked it so much that we decided I had enough saved to quit my job and we could move there and rent my house out and live off the rental income ...

    Hey folks, After a lot of discussion, we've decided to trial a ban of any and all content relating to LLMs. We get a lot of posts related to LLMs and typically they are not in line with what we want the subreddit to be — a place for detailed, technical learning and discourse about software engineering, driven by high quality, informative content. And unfortunately, the volume of LLM-related content easily overwhelms other topics. We also believe that, generally, the community have been indicating that, by and large, they aren't interested in this content. So, we want to see how a trial ban impacts how people use the sub. As such: While this post is stickied, for 2-4 weeks over April, we're banning all LLM-related content from the sub. That's posts, articles, ...

  • Just did my first proper dependency audit on a codebase I inherited and I don't know where to start fixing it
    The direct dependencies are manageable, around 80 packages, most reasonably maintained. The transitive tree is 1,400 packages. Dozens haven't had a commit in three or more years. A handful are effectively abandoned with open CVEs and no fix available because the maintainer disappeared. The compliance review is in six weeks and part of the ask is producing an SBOM. Which is fine in theory but when your scanner is flagging everything at the same severity level with no context about what's reachable in your application versus just sitting somewhere in the dependency tree, the SBOM just becomes a very official looking list of problems you can't fix in time. The software supply chain security guidance I keep finding online assumes you're building with good hygien ...

    I don’t really track hours properly on smaller projects. I just estimate, quote, and go. Out of curiosity I went back to one of them and tried to piece the time together. Quoted around 20h. Pretty sure it ended up somewhere around 40–45h. So instead of ~$100/hr it was closer to ~$45–50/hr. Didn’t expect it to be that far off. What’s weird is I remember all the extra work. A revision here An extra section there A “quick change” near the end But none of it felt like a big deal at the time. It just felt like normal progress.

  • Spent months designing a cyberpunk doraemon from scratch.
    Hardware is hard, but getting the character right is honestly harder. These animations actually require a huge amount of planning. We’ve spent a long time polishing the IP consistency, and we’re aiming to create a cyberpunk-style agent Doraemon. It has the vibe of a tamagotchi but runs on an llm backend. submitted by /u/Puzzleheaded_Gur_454 [link] [comments] ...

  • Lame web dev scam. Careful out there
    I’m a web developer with years of experience, but I almost let my guard down with this one because it started through my own website's contact form. I wanted to share this here so others don't fall for it. A "client" named Nacho Perez reached out via my contact form asking for a website for a new Spanish restaurant in Houston called "Levante Restaurant and Bar" opening in June. After I replied to the initial inquiry, I got a long email with the following classic scam markers: The "Consultant": They claim a "private project consultant" will provide all the logos, images, and text. (This is the person they will eventually ask you to pay using "extra" funds from a fake check). The Budget: A suspiciously h ...

  • CAPTCHA
    I look after a not-for-profit 'hobbyist' educational website with very little/no regular income but lots of in-depth 'rich' content built up over 15 years. The website is being hammered at the moment by bots/crawlers with up to 700,000 page access requests a day. I've blocked a lot of the traffic through the hard coding in the .htaccess file but I am also looking at CAPTCHA options as well. For this level of traffic compared to income Google reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha look very expensive. Would Cloudflare Turnstile work here? Any other ideas as to how to handle this problem? submitted by /u/Confident_Meat2189 [link] [comments] ...

  • How to add articles to my website without having to upload a .html file every single time?
    I have a website hosted with GitHub pages where I want to add articles/essays, but I want to have a best way to manage the addition of articles without always having to upload a .html file. My website is written in plain HTML/CSS. submitted by /u/Glittering_Report_82 [link] [comments]

  • Is the idea that SPA's are not "SEO friendly" just not true anymore?
    My Nuxt website is using ssr: false and I find the site to be a lot faster as SPA. Even the initial load time is not noticeable to me compared to SSR. I am using Directus API where the content is being updated and my URL's are very SEO friendly. I guess I don't understand why a web crawler could not index the site as SPA, especially if I have a sitemap to help it out? Just curious if this has changed in these modern days, or something to even worry about. submitted by /u/avidrunner84 [link] [comments] ...

  • Professional web devs at big companies, how often are you redesigning the landing page
    I ask as I constantly see companies like github, clickup etc redesigning their site almost monthly. Usually just rephrasing the same thing again and again to an unnecessary extent. Im sure they have A/B testing metrics to justify the changes, but it still seems a bit dumb submitted by /u/Mediocre-Subject4867 [link] [comments]

  • The DOJ pushed ADA Title II back a year, and I do not think that is good news
    As a blind person, I do not think this is cool. I know some people are probably going to look at this and say okay, more time, maybe that helps. I do not see it that way. A year is too long. That is another year of people dealing with forms that do not work. Another year of broken PDFs. Another year of websites and apps that should already be accessible. And that is the part I do not want people to forget. If you are disabled, this is not just some policy update. It is whether you can do what you need to do by yourself or not. Can you fill out the form. Can you read the document. Can you use the site. Can you get through the app without getting stuck. That is what this actually means. And I keep coming back to this point. You would not wait until the last mi ...

  • Keep scrolling to view content!

    The loading of this feed has been deferred to save bandwidth.

  • Don't worry, this is on purpose! Promise!

  • At least, it should load... Click here to force the load.

    (For the feeds to actually load, the top of "The Atlantic" feed must reach the top of the browser and you must have a browser width of at least 890px. If your browser is too tall, and the bottom of the browser reaches the bottom of the page before the top reaches the top bound of the browser, the feeds will not load.)

About all this

  • What's this page about?
  • This is a basic start page for my own personal use. Search, random links, lots of rss feeds all aggregated into one.
  • This looks awfully like Popurls!
  • As it should. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this case is no different. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, nor taking credit for anything which I do not have due.
  • Then why?
  • This was all an excerscise to further flex my knowledge and tinker with something new.
  • What was flexed?
  • Attempts were made at making a site which thought a bit about usability (although, probably an overload of information at this point) while being fully W3C valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS which is W3C valid (except the hack used in the YUI Reset!), JQuery to drive the fancy stuff, and Python behind the scenes. At least... that was the goal.
  • The page uses skeleton.css along with media queries to give different viewing experiences for wide browsers("desktop")vs small viewing areas ("mobile"). Media queries were selected so one could easily jump between different modes. Some javascript has exceptions to not or to trigger when viewed on "mobile" browsers.
