Fox 35: VIDEO: Truck runs over 250K Lamborghini in parking lot

By way of ReindeR Rustema @rrustema020@mastodon.nl

@notjustbikes about SUVs that are too dangerous.

In Orlando a lady in a huge monster truck drove her machine on top of a Lamborghini sports car in the parking lot of Crunch Fitness. Because she couldn't see the car.

Not fake, confirmed by journalists. https://www.nu.nl/325970/video...peperdure-lamborghini-in-vs.html

Writing in C Dan Lyke / comment 0

Wolf SSL: Why C Remains the Gold Standard for Cryptographic Software. Lots of good stuff in here, including:

Side-channel resistance is difficult in any language.

What is true: as abstractions obscure execution behavior, side-channel properties become harder to reason about and harder to verify at scale. Rust provides tools to mitigate this—but using them extensively means abandoning most safety abstractions, bringing the problem space back toward C.

The issue is not impossibility—it’s verifiability without abstraction collapse.

An Economy of Empathy Dan Lyke / comment 0

Mario Munoz has put the text of his Sunday morning talk at North Bay Python online. I'm waiting for the recording to experience it again, but it was exactly the Sunday morning angry sermon I needed: https://pythonbynight.com/talks/empathy

AI has already taken my software job, not in the sense that I don't have one, but in the sense that I now hate the job and most of the other people.

If you believe that the best part of a Dan Lyke / comment 0

If you believe that the best part of a conference is the hallway track, this year's North Bay Python feels like that. The conversations and presentations feel like the sort of thought provoking topics I want from a conference.

Joelle Maslak's talk What Feminist Dan Lyke / comment 0

Joelle Maslak's talk "What Feminist Theory & Praxis Says About Internet Networking" has me thinking about "the cost of crossing boundaries" not just between process isolation or network locations, but also social boundaries.

talk by kattnikattstodoncom is Dan Lyke / comment 0

This talk by @kattni@kattstodon.com is reminding me how much my model of how human behavior changes has evolved over the course of my life. I don't know if that's a general change in society or in the community I surround myself with, but I hope it's the former.

I appreciate the insights.

Mario Munoz @pythonbynight@hachyderm.io "An Economy of Empathy" talk is definitely one I'm going to go back through and listen to with Charlene, and is the righteous sermon I needed this morning.

Repeat of yesterday's picture, now with more sky texture. You should be at North Bay Python.

Continuing my exploration of finding a Dan Lyke / comment 0

Continuing my exploration of finding a lightweight cross-platform widget set for Rust, and it's reinforcing my feeling that software development has become completely unserious.

Debrief implies that there is also Dan Lyke / comment 0

"Debrief" implies that there is also "deboxer".

And what other types of furniture samples are there besides stool?
