The time I found out 10 years ago that scrolling with a Dell touchpad set registry keys every few milliseconds to adjust the scroll rate in a hack way 😵💫
I did hear that someone at Microsoft complained to them about this.

New career path: Telling everyone that I use generative AI for everything (and then just half-assing it with my own brain) so people I don’t respect throw piles of money at me and are cool with the final product being bad.

@metlstorm.risky.biz@patrick.risky.biz, loved the latest RB podcast, especially the chat about the FCC dropping reqs for Telcos. One thing I that I think the discussion missed is that the objectives for protecting telcos extends well beyond intrusion and data theft; they're CNI so availability

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I first saw Microsoft's TV ad about "The computer you can talk to" during an NFL game. So I spent a week talking to the Copilot AI in Windows 11. Surely, it must be easy to replicate the specific tasks Microsoft wants millions of people to see...

Here's a thread with a brief history of dependency management in Go.
For those of you newer to Go, it might surprise you to know that go modules was not always part of the language. When Go launched in 2009, it did not have any dependency management solution as Google had no need for one.
