La polemica ideologica che è seguita all'incidente di Torino ha segnato, per me, un'importante punto di discontinuità. È la dimostrazione evidente che ci sono persone disposte a sfruttare qualsiasi occasione, anche la più tragica, per affermare la loro opinione politica e che

The less fun part of being a senior/seasoned engineer is that with increased experience more of your job becomes kicking bad ideas to death before they can cause harm.

This time and age this seems straight out of Midjourney v6. Instead it’s just Christmas. AI won’t surpass life for a bit, still.

At its most reductive, DTrace can be thought of as dynamic print statements for code that one didn't write -- and it is in fact great for debugging systems

Nobody is talking about this, but Mark Zuckerberg recently made a video commenting on Apple Vision Pro. I’m thinking about uploading it here so I’m the first person to do so today.

In 2020, I solved a gnarly reverse engineering challenge in PlaidCTF. Only 9 teams solved. It's a huge pile of Typescript. Everything is named after a fish. The catch? There's no code, only types. How do they perform computation using just the type system? (Spoiler: Circuits!)
