"Programming is rather a test of understanding. In this respect it is like writing; often when we think we understand something and attempt to write about it, our very act of composition reveals our lack of understanding even to ourselves." [..]
"One programs, just as one writes, not because one understands, but in order to come to understand. "
-- Joseph Weizenbaum, Computer Power and Human Reason

House of Nettles I probably should have read Computer Power and Human Reason years ago, when all this hype really started getting going. Honestly I should probably have read it in college when I was first getting into programming! But the next best time is now, so I borrowed: my mom's inscribed copy a few months ago (which to be fair she has also never read) and got started. A lot of the first few chapters is fair

Samsung Semiconductor has registered itself as a CVE numbering authority. Can't wait to see their album drop.

ALSO:

The Linux Foundation has registered ANOTHER CVE numbering authority, but they call it "Akrites Foundation," most of their security policy seems to be slop, and they registered their official policy document as a link to an outdated fork of the actual repo, in a dazzling display of exactly the kind of careful and detail-oriented work you want in a security response org. Truly impressive, very trustworthy

Wahl in Israel

#cartoon #karikatur

Karikatur "Wahl in Israel" aus dem Jahr 2026. Benjamin Netanjahu beugt sich über eine Wahlbox, die mit der Fahne Israels beklebt ist, und horcht hinein. Die Box bewegt sich etwas. Im Hintergrund sitzen oder liegen Personen neben Wahlboxen, aus denen umherwippende Sprungfedern ragen. Diese beiden Wahlboxen sind mit der Flagge Polens und Ungarns beklebt. Neben Netanjahu steht Vucic, der eine Wahlbox in den Händen hält. Die Sprungfeder in seiner Box wurde vor Kurzem ausgelöst, der Deckel der Box fliegt noch umher. Am linken Bildrand ist eine weiter Person angedeutet, die an einer Schachtel lauscht. Diese Person hat ein orangefarbenens Gesicht und hellblondes Haupthaar.

What I did on a weekend with the wife and kids out? Clearly some useless #coding playing with a new way of clearing my #terminal screen in the style of cmatrix/neo - except I like the unicode braille glyphs more.

It's now published at codeberg.org/ftranschel/neocle
