    We don't cover a lot of security issues here, simply because they're not usually funny. But sometimes, they are. So here's a quick hit about some recent ones. We start with a very bad month for the Danish social security system, the Central Register of Persons (CPR). Last week, they detected a breach which exposed the personal details of 8.8m people. Per the Register article, a cybersecurity specialist correctly pointed out that treating your ID number as if it were a secret was a terrible idea in the first place, but unfortunately, so many systems have grown up around the idea that full knowledge of your state issued ID number as proof of identity, that the security expert is screaming into the wind.

  • Representative Line: A Diamond in the Rough
    Mandy's co-worker recently learned about virtual inheritance in C++. It's become their new favorite button to push, and they only use virtual inheritance. Virtual inheritance is one workaround for the "diamond problem", where you have an inheritance tree that "recombines" via multiple inheritance: when a child class has a Hapsburg-esque parentage, it's hard to decide which inherited methods are being invoked or overridden. In C++, imagine you have class A, which gets derived into classes B and C. Class D then uses multiple inheritance to inherit from B and C. In practice, this means that D inherits from A twice, and would have two internal copies of all of A's members. If, on the other hand, you have B and C inherit virtually (class B : public virtual A), th ...

    For some godawful reason, people like to explain object oriented concepts via analogy to biological taxonomies. I suppose it's easy to understand an "is-a" relationship (a cat is a mammal), but the down side is you get a complex and increasingly leaky analogy that over-emphasizes the importance of inheritance. That's not to slight Alan's choice of using it to anoymize today's code. It's just a broad frustration on my part. In any case, Alan has been working in a C++ codebase that's written by people who maybe don't fully understand all the key object oriented concepts. That's why you get code like this: /* * If possible, steal tentacle from the given animal. */ void Animal::StealTentacle(Animal *animal) { // only Octopus and Squid c ...

    Robert G sends us a WTF from the outside, but I think we can come up with some hypotheses about what actually happened. Robert was traveling by train. For complicated train reasons, the car he was seated on was not actually scheduled to continue with the train he was booked to ride, the replacement car missed its scheduled arrival, and the result was that Robert was left at a station needing to rebook his travel. Now, given that this is in a region of the world with a fairly robust train network, this represented a hiccup of thirty minutes in a many hour trip. Not a particularly big deal. But Robert didn't want to get stranded any longer than he had to, so he took out his phone, fired up the train company's app, and made sure he had a reservation on the next ...

And fortunately, even in the older Java datetime libraries that were terrible, this was an easy task.

Timestamp current = new Timestamp(new Date().getTime()); Date date = new Date(current.getTime()); This creates a date, picks the time off, populates a timestamp, gets the time from the timestamp, and constructs a new date object.

  • Vite Asset Bundling
    Specifically, I'm grabbing JSON for a trading card game gallery from an endpoint, then dynamically creating the card gallery from that data. The project uses Vite for asset bundling, but I'm not sure how to bundle dynamically loaded images? In the JSON, each card has a set number and a card number, and the app loads image data from images/cards/sets/set-number/card-number.webp, creates all the DOM nodes, and appends it to the gallery. It works brilliantly...unless the card art needs to change, then I run into good old-fashioned browser caching issues. For the rest of the site, using vite build keeps everything bundled for deployment...but is there a way to leverage that capability for this use case? I admit I have little knowledge about Vite, so maybe it's s ...

  • Dev UI Stockholm syndrome?
    I always leave the UI design until towards the end of a larger project. I know if I start with the UI I'll end up finding parts of the system that don't fit the layout, rejig this, tinker with that, rework that bit again... I get too focused on making the UI right when it could be wrong again with the next functional change. I may as well switch individual pixels around. To solve that, I usually knock up a quick development UI at the beginning, do all the functional work, then look at how the UI/UX makes the functional stuff display and work easily for a user. That leaves me in a position where I've been coding and testing in a development UI for months... And then get Stockholm Syndrome or something about leaving it behind for a professional finish. Anyone ...

  • Image storage for chat history
    I'm working on an ecommerce chatbot that helps potential customers look for product inventory. These users can be anyone on the ecommerce site and will send photos of what they're looking for. The chatbot returns suggested products. My question is around storage of the customer provided images. I plan to store these in a Cloudflare r2 bucket, but trying to decide wether to use the cache, or use direct r2 bucket URLs to add the image to the chat after it's uploaded. The benefit I see with caching is that requests for the image would likely not hit r2 (although the volume of requests for each image would likely be pretty low). The downside I can think of with caching is these files would be accessible by anyone who has the url until they're deleted. The other ...

  • How many GitHub stars does your most successful open source project have?
    I still remember the first Vue component I ever made and finally gathered enough courage to publish on GitHub. That was many years ago. Maybe around eight if I remember correctly. Of course, there was no AI back then. I was genuinely nervous. npm publish and... ta-da. It happened. Not a single star. But I was so stubborn, so then came another component, then another one, then another one, then a Nuxt module, then something I built while preparing for an interview, and so on. Eventually, my most successful open source project reached 179 stars. Not exactly thousands, but I was still pretty proud of it. What about you?

  • Are big companies just not interested in web client anymore?
    It is my frustration to realize how utterly broken the web client for Instagram is. Yes, I use firefox, and will continue to use firefox, and that is probably part of some of the issues. However, some things simply don't load when clicked, some buttons don't work. Recently I've been having to refresh the whole thing to make some pages load. It barely works. Clicking the right arrow in the slide to show the next video doesn't even reset the video's playback position, it doesn't reset it to zero, it continues where the previous video was. They clearly don't care about the web client. Also Reddit. There are some things that show a lack of attention, some small things, some bizarre things that ruin the experience like having to click nested comments over and ove ...

    A few months ago I posted my odd traffic from China, wondering if anyone else had it and the possibility of it being bots. I never got rid of it. I found it baffling because it was not in the thousands a day like other bots I had before. It used to come from one specific city, Lanzhou. All of a sudden it switched to Hong Kong.

  • 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.
